听力原文： Reading to oneself is a modem activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and mediaeval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term "reading" undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace.
One should be cautious, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is a distraction to others. Examination of factors related to the historical development of silent reading reveals that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.
The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, so the number of potential listeners declined, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud.
As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers.
Towards the end of the century there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialized readership on the other.
By the end of the century students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use skills in reading them which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural, and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term "reading" implied.

听力原文：M: Sally, how are you doing？
W: I'm doing fine. I've spent the last two years studying Chinese literature on the lovely coast. I could not have made a better choice, as I really enjoy everything about being here except the lack of snow, of course!
M: Why did you choose to study Chinese literature？
W: Well, my parents are China scholars, and since I was very young I've been interested in China, especially Chinese culture.
I have always believed that a country's literature reveals a lot about its culture.
M: What do you like about your study？
W: What I like most is that we have group work, presentations and assignments as well as seminars and lectures. These variations enable interaction and discussion among the students.
M: Say something more about the place of your study, will you？
W: It's a great student town bemuse of its size and nightlife. You will not experience being lost or lonely here. Unfortunately for some, there is a lack of opportunities for those interested in art.
M: I guess it's still a wonderful place.
W: It sure is. It can offer friendly people, a gorgeous beach, powerful waves and a fresh sea breeze. Nothing else can refresh you more than a walk by the beach!

听力原文： Although people often use the phrase "the dictionary", there are many different kinds of dictionaries, some general and some specialized. General dictionaries are all-purpose dictionaries that contain a broad range of words and common usage. The first general dictionary that you used was probably a school dictionary. These dictionaries contain relatively few words and emphasize common words that you are most likely to encounter in your school years.
Later, most people acquire a college dictionary. These dictionaries have more than 150, 000 entries with detailed definitions that are sufficient for most college students as well as general users. They also separately list abbreviations, biographical and geographical names, foreign words and phrases and tables of measures. The Random House Websters College Dictionary and the American Heritage Dictionary are well-known college dictionaries.
For scholars or researchers, un abridged dictionary provides as many as 500,000 entries that have detailed definitions and extensive word histories. You will find these dictionaries primarily in libraries and they often spend several volumes. Specialized dictionaries such as the drinking water dictionary or dictionary of legal terms are also very useful for scholars or researchers.
