Good morning. I'm speaking to you today from Beijing. In just two days, I've seen some of the rich history and remarkable changes that are taking place in China, home to nearly one- quarter of the world's population.
China is the oldest civilization on Earth. In Xi'an, on Friday, I saw the old and the new China, from magnificent Terra Cotta Warriors sculpted by artisans 2,000 years before America was founded, to the beginnings of democracy in a nearby village, where residents soon will hold elections.
I've been touched by the warm reception given to me, my family, and the members of Congress travelling with us. Tens of thousands of Chinese families have lined the streets to greet us. For all these people, China is changing. I see cell phones, beepers, new office buildings.
China is no longer the same country it was when president Nixon first came here 26 years ago. Never before have so many Chinese had the opportunity to start businesses, lift their families out of poverty, choose where to live, work, and travel, and enjoy the fruits of their labors.
Today in Beijing I am meeting with China' s leaders to talk about the future of our two countries and a relationship between us that is essential to a peaceful, stable, and prosperous world in the next century. We talked about the United States and China's mutual interests ---- promoting peace in Korea, where 400,000 U.S. soldiers still risk their lives to patrol the Cold Wars last frontier; preventing a nuclear arms race between India and Pakistan; restoring economic stability in Asia; stopping the spread of unclear soldiers chemical, and biological weapons and the misspread of unclear soldiers chemical, and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them; combating international crime and drug trafficking; preserving the environment; and opening trade.
China is important to our future, with the largest population on Earth, a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council, an economy increasingly connected to our own. Without China, it will be difficult to face the challenges. In dealing with China, we must stay true to a course that is both principled and pragmatic.We must continue to expand our areas of cooperation, even as we deal directly with out differences. With China, we can build a safer, more prosperous future for our children, a world of unlimited possibility in the new century
Thanks for listening.

“Are you too stupid to do anything right?”These words—said by a woman to a little boy who was obviously her son—were spoken 1 he had walked away from her. They boy returned, his eyes down-cast.

I recently heard a story from a man named Malcolm Dalkoff. For the last 24 years he has been a professional 6 . Here is what he told me:
As a boy in Rock Island, Dalkoff was terribly 7 . He had few 8 and no self-confidence. One day, his English teacher, Ruth Brach, gave the class an assignment(作业).

Dalkoff wrote his chapter and turned it 10 . Today he can not recall anything 11 about the chapter he wrote, or what 12 Mrs. Branch gave him. What he does remember is the four words Mrs. Brach wrote in margin(空白处)of the paper:“This is 13 writing.”
Four words. They 14 his life.
“ 15 I read those words, I had no idea of who I was or 16 I was going to be.”he said.“After reading her note, I went home and wrote a short story, something I had always been 17 of doing but never believed I could do.”
Over the rest of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to school for Mrs. Brach to evaluate. She was 18 , tough and honest.“She was just what I 19 ,”Dalkoff said.
His confidence 20 . Dalkoff believes that none of this would have happened if that woman had not written those four words in the margin of his paper.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. 1
First of all, remember that you are not alone.Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language.The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. 2 The Internet is really a useful tool for English students.You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com.The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated by limited understanding. 3
Here is some of the advice I give my students:
●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
●Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.
● Do not translate everything into your native language.
● 4 Don’t concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.
● Listen to something you enjoy.
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany.In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind.This method usually resulted in confusion. 5 Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker.Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly.By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn’t pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.
A.But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all!
B.What should you do?
C.But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!
D.However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.
E.So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.
F.Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.
G.Listen for the general idea of the conversation.
