There have been celebrations of the composer’s work all year long. On December 5, music houses around the world observed the anniversary of the composer’s death. That music is from Mozart’s Requiem, a work the composer did not complete before his death. A Requiem is music written in honor of someone who has died. Many people consider the music and its subject matter to add to the mystery surrounding Mozart’s death. Could it be that the composer sensed his approaching death from lever and wrote Requiem in his own honor? There is no doubt, however, that the music of Mozart has more to do with life and happiness than with sadness or mystery. Mozart wrote and performed music in the second half of the 18th century. During this period, European musicians performed for kings, queens and other royalty. Musicians often depended on wealthy people called patrons to support them. Mozart, along with his friend Joseph Haydn, became the best example of the classical style—the important performance music of his time. Today, people often use the word “classical” to describe other kinds of music written for and performed by an orchestra. Some music critics consider Symphony Twenty-Five in G Minor to be the first work showing Mozart’s full ability. He was 17 when he wrote it. See what you think of this young man’s skills. The word “effortless” is often used to describe the musical compositions of Mozart. Music came so naturally to the child born in Salzburg, Austria, in 1756. Wolfgang was the last of seven children born to Leopold Mozart and Anna Maria Peril. Five of the children died while babies. Only Wolfgang and his older sister, Maria Anna, survived. Both were extremely gifted musicians from a very young age. The children traveled with their parents and performed across Europe. Wolfgang’s father was a well-known violin teacher. The year Wolfgang was born, Leopold published a popular book on violin playing. Soon Wolfgang started to show an unusual command of many instruments. By the age of eight, he played the piano — sometimes with his eyes covered. He also played the organ and violin very well. He showed an understanding of music of a much older person. Travel enriched the education of the young Mozart. His father worked in many of the great cities of 18th century Europe. The family visited London, Munich, Vienna, Prague and Paris. Mozart married Constanze Weber in the Austrian capital in 1782. He described his wife as having “plenty of common sense and the kindest heart in the world.” Constanze had six children but only two survived. They were happy together, although their life was sometimes difficult. In Vienna, Mozart wrote his greatest operas — musical plays performed with an orchestra. His works were performed in other cities as well. His Marriage of Figaro was so popular in Prague that he was asked to write an opera especially for a music house there. The opera he composed was Don Giovanni, considered by many to be his best. The opera is based on the story of the lover and fighter, Don Juan, by the Spanish writer Tirso de Molina. In this scene, the spirit of a man Don Giovanni had killed long ago returns to the world of the living to seize him and drag him down to hell. Events have been held all over Europe and in the United States to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Mozart’s birth. Salzburg alone held about 500 events to celebrate the famous composer. Vienna spent about 60 million dollars in public and private money for its Mozart celebration. In reality, there is an ongoing Mozart celebration all the time. Mozart’s music is performed around the world. Mozart died on December 5, 1791. He was only 35. He had composed more than 600 pieces of music. Some experts consider Mozart the greatest composer of all time. Near the end of his life, Mozart composed the Forty-First Symphony. After his death, it came to be known as Jupiter, possibly in praise of its style and expression. Critics consider it one of Mozart’s truly great works and a beautiful expression of the classical style that he helped to define. Listen, and consider that what you have heard on our program represents just a few of Mozart’s best works.Part III. The man with the HornA1.b 2.c 3.c 4.a 5.a 6.c 7.c 8.aBslow sweet fast hot high low strong exciting wonderfulThe crowd cheered and cheered. The man with the horn waved and smiled his great, happy smile. “More! More!” cried the crowd. And Louis Satchmo Armstrong took his horn and began to play again. Here he was in England. Now a famous man, he was rich. He knew many important people. Wherever he went, people knew his name. They wanted to hear his music. As Louis played the sad, slow songs, he thought of his home in New Orleans. He lived there as a boy. How many years ago it was? It was a busy, exciting city. But Louis’s family was very poor. He went to work to help his mother. He also went to school. One of Louis's teachers asked him to be in the school band. “This horn is yours until you leave our school,” his teacher said. Louis's music was jazz and he loved it. He remembered all the music he heard. He didn’t learn to read music until he was a man. When he left school, he played in many bands. He loved his work and people loved him. They knew that he had a wonderful talent. Louis played in little towns and in big cities. Satchmo’s horn had as many sounds as ten horns—sometimes slow and sweet? Sometimes fast and hot, high and low. His music was always strong and exciting. “He does make wonderful music,” said the man who listened happily. “Yes,” said another man, “he makes that horn speak.” Then the music ended and the crowd cheered. Louis Armstrong spoke with tears in his eyes, “I think, my friends, you can listen to as much jazz as I can play. I thought jazz was my music, but now I understand it is ours. Isn’t it beautiful how music brings us together!” Questions:1. Where was Louis from?2. What kind of family was he born into?3. Who knew Louis?4. What music did he play?5.

(F)Whenever there’s a Rank Holiday weekend in Britain, a certain kind of shop always gets very busy, and it’s not what you might think— clothes shops or music shops. The British flock to DIY stores and garden centres and huge numbers of people spend their days off doing home improvements instead of relaxing!Doing DIY is very popular in Britain, and there are lots of TV programmes which show people how to improve their homes.Some people stick to simple decorating — putting up wall-paper and painting walls. But there arc all sorts of DIY projects that some people decide to take on, from laying new flooring, to plumbing, such as putting in a new shower, or tiling walls.Unfortunately, some people bite oil more than they can chew, and start doing a job which ends in DIY disaster. For example, it’s recommended that anything electrical should be done by a qualified electrician, but many people ignore this warning and put themselves in danger.There is also a huge market for flat-pack furniture which you put together yourself with a few basic tools. Often people who are not very savvy about DIY find the supposedly simple instructions impossible to follow, and it’s easy to build a piece of furniture which is unstable or just not very attractive!Gardening is also popular, and a good way to enjoy the weather on a sunny Bank Holiday. But it’s not as simple as planting plants and doing some weeding. More complicated work such as building a new patio or some decking can cause some stress and backache!So why do people do it? Who knows, maybe we are so used to working that we aren’t very good at relaxing. One thing’s for sure, though a lot of DIY or gardening projects will be started with the best intentions during the Bank Holiday weekend, many of them may not get finished!Statements:1. Many British people go to clothes shops, music shops or relax at home on a Bank Holiday weekend.2. DIY projects are very easy to finish because there are many TV programmes showing people how to do them.3. Pulling in a new shower is more difficult than putting up wall-paper.4. Non-electricians are not supposed to do anything electrical because they might put themselves in danger.5. Hat-pack furniture is furniture that can be put together with a few basic tools.6. Gardening can cause stress and backache.Unit 8 Everybody can help the environmentPart I Warming upA1. Greenpeace, attitudes and behavior, environment, peace2.

The focus of the party was the planting of a single tree, the first of 20 million to be planted in 40 Californian cities over the next decade. The tree planting campaign is an attempt to deflate what’s been called the Greenhouse Effect. Scientists believe that the earth is getting warmer because of an accumulation of carbon dioxide in the air. Trees take carbon dioxide out of the air.Martin Rosen is the director of the Trust for Public Land, the organization that is coordination the stat-wide tree plating effort. “Time is not neutral. We are so rapidly depleting the atmosphere, we are so rapidly changing the climate, that unless we start now the situation may well become irreversible.”Some movie stars were on hand for the tree planting ceremony. Actor Peter Cyote served as the master of ceremonies. “Unless the environmental movement comes into everybody’s life, in real simple activities, it’s not going to work. Planting a tree is real simple. So I wanted to participate in something that was really accessible to the citizen, just to everyday people, to children. So that as citizens we can do a lot.”After Peter Cyote introduced a few speakers and a couple of songs were sung, the ceremony moved over to a corner of the park where a group of youngsters planted a Copper Beech tree.Isobel Wade is the state coordinator for Campaign California Re-Leaf. Wade says the tree plantings are important because they will help clean up the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, improve the environment and make neighborhoods more attractive, but Isobel Wade cautions it isn’t enough. “It’s one step in a combination of things. The other kinds of things that we can all be doing are being much more conscious about how we use energy in our home, whether we’re buying—ah—fuel efficient cars and products, whether we’re using Styrofoam when we don’t have to be, --ah—whether we’re turning off light bulbs when we—ah—leave the room—um—and just a variety of personal actions like recycling that we need to start thinking about and doing more.”Isobel Wade also says she’d love to see everyone in California’s urban arrears take the time to plant one tree and take care of the ones that are already growing.Part III PBS – a biodegradable plastic productOutlineI. headachenot easily bread downII.

For lot of us, probably won’t. What you eat out? Can you guarantee not to use any plastic tableware? And how about if someone asks you; can you recommend a replacement for plastic products? Don’t say paper! Here is a new solution; biodegradable plastic!As everyone knows, plastic is a big environmental headache although it brings us much convenience. Like plastic bags, plastic food containers, and plastic tableware. But it is perhaps the most harmful of all our garbage because it does not easily break down in nature.A researcher form the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Ji Junhui says he and his colleagues have found a better solution.“When the PBS in the biodegradable plastic comes in contact with microorganisms or enzymes, the plastic structure will degrade into smaller pieces, and finally it turns into water and carbon dioxide. This is how the break-down process works.”PBS is a chemical component that is the key to this new biodegradable plastic. It can help the plastic degrade into non-polluting elements, so the broken-down plastic fragments can be absorbed by soil and water.PBS is not an entirely new product, however, this China-made biodegradable plastic is safer and more heat-resistant. According to Ji Jun-hui, testing has shown that 90% of this new biodegradable plastic can be degraded within 90 days. And it even takes a shorter period of time if it is buried in a dump rather than exposed to the air.Usually, biodegradable plastic food containers made in other countries will melt when the temperature reaches 60 degree Celsius, while the Chinese product can retain its shape in up to 100 degrees.However, Ji Junhui says his-tech products often come at a higher price.“PBS product is a bit more expensive than ordinary plastic. Taking a plastic bowl as an example, the PBS bowl can be 20% more expensive than the current plastic bowl we use.”Some hotels and restaurants in Shanghai have already started using the new PBS biodegradable plastic food containers, and the product will be popularized in Beijing as well as in other big cities.It will play a role in the Olympic Games. Besides in the production of plastic food containers and tableware for the Games, PBS biodegradable plastic will also be used to make road signs, team cheering equipment like horns and mini flags, as well as trash bags, umbrellas and eyeglass frames.Probably in the near future, we will really be able to say “farewell” to plastic pollution.Part IV Short talks on listening skillscharacteristics, its structure, the logical orderinverted pyramid, the news lead, a condensed form, further informationsum up, either inside or outside, comment, remarks, attitudes, analysissome breakthroughs, update, vocabulary, hinders our understanding of, enhance our ability, frequently appear, carefully studied, the experiment reports, subjects, findings or results, the latest developmentsUnit 9 DisastersPart I Warming upA1. 60,000/ 8.75 2.452/ 8.3 3.100,000/ 8.614.8.9/ 2,990 5.8.7/ 1,530 6.12,000/ 5.87.7.1/ 12,230 8.7.5/ 22,778 9.6.8/ 25,00010.6.7/ 50,000 11.9.0/ 300,000 12.8.0/ 69,197/ 18,341B1. ice, snow, earth, rock/the side of a mountain2.
