It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. He spoke for an hour and 57 minutes. His speech was a perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only nine minutes. At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and remarked, "I have failed again." On the train back to Washington, he said sadly, "That speech was a flat failure, and the people are disappointed."
Some newspapers at first criticized the speech. But little by little as people read the speech they began to understand better. They began to appreciate its simplicity and its deep meaning. It was a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made.
Today, every American school child learns Lincoln's Gettysburg Address by heart. Now everyone thinks of it as one of the greatest speeches ever given in American history.

听力原文: The "American dream" is an idea that grew from TV programs, books, and stories about family life. The idea began in the 1950s, after World War 11. What was the "dream" ?
As the first step, families bought or built a comfortable little home in the suburbs. This often meant a long commute to work. Many husbands road the train or drove two hours each day, but this was part of the dream.
The husband "wore the pants" in the family. He made the decisions because he went to work, he paid the bills, and he "put" food on the table, Of course, his wife actually cooked the meals!
The wife spent her time at home. She took care of the children and kept house. Occasionally she found time for a hobby.
