听力原文: Earlier this year, the American Lung Association launched a web site aimed at helping people stop smoking cigarettes. The Association fights all kinds of lung diseases. Officials say using the Internet is the best way to help people save their own lives by helping them stop smoking.
The American Lung Association says the new web site is part of its Freedom from Smoking campaign. People around the world can use the web site twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
The program is free of charge. And it is interactive. A person who links to the web site can communicate with other people who also want to quit smoking. They can ask and answer questions, share concerns and tell about earlier attempts to quit smoking. The Freedom from Smoking campaign requires that everyone have a support group.
Support groups are necessary because quitting smoking is very difficult. The Freedom from Smoking campaign recognizes this. People who link to the web site answer a series of questions.

听力原文: The traditional procedure of taking attendance at the start of the lesson may help a new teacher create a sense of routine and structure, but it isn't the best way to start the class. New teachers need to develop classroom procedures for how and when to take attendance, as this is an important part of classroom organization.
Taking attendance after the teacher has provided some input and the students are ready to start the activity can be much more effective. Since students have already connected With the academic focus of your lesson plan, they won't be distracted when you do take attendance. Teachers do not necessarily need to call out their names. Just a simple head check should take you only a few minutes.
Teachers should ideally get to know the students' names quickly in order to build a positive and direct relationship.' Ice breaker activities during the first few days of school help to get to know the students' names. This can be very helpful to a new teacher, especially when there are more than two identical names or similarly sounding names.

Quite a problem. The Bank usually chooses safe, historical personalities. We already have Sir Isaac Newton, the scientist, the first duke of Wellington, the famous soldier who led the British army at Waterloo, Florence Nightingale, founder of English nursing and — of course — Shakespeare. So far, the list of possible choices for the £50 note is quite predictable. There's Sir Francis Drake, to represent the achievements of English explorers in the sixteenth century. Then we have Lord Nelson, another sailor and the man who won the battle of Trafalgar in 1805 for England. Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the engineer, is also on the list because of the magnificent bridges which he built. The Bank will not forget music this time either — Sir Edward Elgar, one of our most famous composers of the nineteenth century is a possible choice. If they choose a woman, the feminist movement has two representatives: Boadicea, Queen of the early English tribes of the first century, who fought against the Romans, or Emily Pankhurst, who fought to get the vote for women early in this century.
What do you think of this selection? There's no one who was alive in the last fifty years on it and no political leader. Why not? Why doesn't the Bank choose popular heroes — like the Beatles, for example? Write and tell "BBC Modern English" who is on your list for this banknote. Imagine you have to choose some personality to go on a banknote in your own country. Who is your choice?
