听力原文: I'm going to pass this piece of amber around so you can see this spider trapped inside it. It's a good example of amber-inclusion, one of the inclusions that scientists are interested in these days. This particular piece is estimated to be about 20 million years old. Please be extremely careful not to drop it. Amber shatters as easily as glass. One thing I really like about amber is its beautiful golden color.
Now, how does the spider get in there? Amber is really fossilized tree resin. Lots of chunks of amber contain insects like this one or animal parts like feathers or even plants. Here is how it happens. The resin oozes out of the tree and the spider or leaf gets in cased in it. Over millions and millions of years, the resin hardens and fossilizes into the semiprecious(次珍贵的、准宝石的) stone you see here.
Ambers can be found in many different places around the world. But the oldest deposits are right here in the United States, in Appalachia(阿巴拉契亚). It's found in several other countries, too, though right now scientists are most interested in ambers coming from the Dominican Republic(多美尼加共和国). Because it has a great many inclusions, something like one insect inclusion for every one hundred pieces. One possible explanation for this it that the climate is tropical and a greater variety of number of insects thrive in tropics than in other places. What's really interesting is the scientists are now able to recover DNA from these fossils and study the genetic material for important clues to revolution.

听力原文: In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The "spiderstory" is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times to span the gap. On the seventh time, he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English.
Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked why he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often. He replied,
"Failure? 1 have no failures. Now, I know 50,000 ways that it won' t work."
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top form. yourself? What can you change so that things may go right next time?
Second, is the goal you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some titivating about what your real goals may be. Think about this question, "If I do succeed in this, where will it gel me?" This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn' t be doing anyway.
The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to live with yourself even though you may have failed. Remember, you can't win them all .

A.Failure and success.
B.The "spider-story".
C.Two sides of failure.

听力原文:M: So you' re visiting San Francisco?
W: Yes, I just got here yesterday. And you?
M: I' m a native.
W: Oh, really? Everyone else I' ve met so far has been a tourist like us. I was beginning to think that there were no natives.
M: Well. San Francisco has a lot of different ethnic groups so you might think you' re seeing a lot of foreigners. But actually, the city has a population of about 700 000.
W: What are the different ethnic groups?
M: Well, after whites, the largest one is blacks.
W: I thought it was Chinese.
M: It's true that San Francisco has the largest Chinese community outside of Asia. But there are many more blacks here than Chinese.
W: That' s interesting. Don' t most of the Chinese people live in China-town?
M: Well, no, they live all over the city, but China-town is definitely the center of Chinese culture here. That' s where you' ll find the best Chinese restaurants, bookstores, art, theaters, things like that.
W: What about the Japanese? Doesn' t San Francisco have a large Japanese population too?
M: No, actually there are only about 12 000 Japanese people here, but we do have an area called "Japan-town" that has Japanese restaurants and bookstores.
