Let the argument rest there, because we shall never agree.(英译中)
This is the first 14 lines of a famous poem "The love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. "What is the name of the poet wrote it?
One of our main argument is that we in Western countries actually 【M1】______
have a part to play in causing the problems of the Third World. Many Third
World countries are saddle by immense debt burdens, for example. They 【M2】______
lent money at low interest rates in the 1970s, when money flooded into 【M3】______
Western banks from the oil-producing countries and was lent out to the
Third World. The interest rates have then been risen dramatically. So you 【M4】______
have a situation where a country in many cases can' t even repay the interest
, let alone the capital, on the debt. And I suppose the best example
from that I' ye come across is a country, in West Africa where the consumption 【M5】______
, the local consumption of peanuts was banned, because peanuts, if
they' re imported can bring in a great deal of foreign income. The peanut 【M6】______
is a major source of protein in this country. So you had people go hungry as 【M7】______
a result of that. The peanuts were exported to Great Britain and the United
States to feed our cattle. Those cattle then produced a surplus of milk
which we don't know what to do with. We have enough milk, more milk
than we can cope with, in the West World. And also that milk was trans- 【M8】______
formed into dried milk powder and then taken back to this country to help
feed children who were suffering from malnutrition. So that's the kind of insanely 【M9】______

听力原文: The solution,both to prevent the excesses of praise and the humiliation of criticism,is to stop caring what other people think of you. Take what is actionable from their feedback and ignore the rest.Since you are the sole captain of your life,don't allow others to steer the ship.If I write an article,I generally receive a mix of positive comments and negative comments.For criticism,I seek out any actionable suggestions from their comments.If someone notes that I made a grammatical mistake in an article,I'll happily correct it.Or,if someone feels the logic of my argument was weak,I can make efforts to correct it in a future discussion of the topic.For praise,I take a similar approach.I thank the person for their comment,and see if there is anything actionable from their suggestion.If several people enjoyed a topic,I'll know it is something readers are interested in and worth discussing again.What I strive not to do,with both praise and criticism,is to let it get under my skin.If someone writes an attack on my writing,I'll remind myself that this comment is just a small stone on my course,and not to allow it to stop me.Similarly,if I get a piece of praise,I'll remind myself that this is just one view,and not to let it distract me from the bigger goal.

听力原文: In ancient times, many people believed tile earth was a flat disc. Well over 2,000 years ago, rite ancient Greek philosophers were able to put forward two good arguments proving that it was not. Direct observations of heavenly bodies was the basis of both these arguments. First, the Greeks knew that during eclipses of the moon, file earth was between the sun and the moon, and they saw that during these eclipses, the earth's shadow on the moon was always round, they realized that this could be true only if the earth was spherical. If tile earth were a flat disc, then its shadow during eclipses would not be a perfect circle, it would be stretched out into a long ellipse. Tile second argument was based on what the Greeks saw during their travels. They noticed that the North Star, or Polaris, appeared lower in the sky when they traveled south, in more northern regions, the North Star appeared to them to be much higher in file sky. By the way, it was also from this difference in the apparent position of the North Star that the Greeks first calculated the approximate distance around the circumference of the earth, a figure recorded in ancient documents says 400,000 stadia, that's the plural of the word stadium. Today, it's not known exactly what length one stadium represents, but let's say, it was about 200 meters, the length of many athletic stadiums. This would hake the Greek' s estimate about twice the figure accepted today, a very good estimate for those writing so long before even the first telescope was invented.
