Script for the recording:
The song you are about to hear is all
about taking a break from city life, escaping from
the crowds,
rinding a quiet place, far
from trie human race.
For those of us
who live in cities, getting out in the country can
provide a welcome break, letting
us
recharge our batteries. Out in the country, as the
song says, we can find a place tostand alone
and take tack somethin' worth
remembering.
The
countryside
also
promises
escape
from
the
pollution
of
the
city,
somewhere
to
get
some
decent air to breathe. The countryside
also offers somewhere where the sun is not hidden
by smog,
making it seem no more than
a bright spot in the nighttime.
So, just remember, as the song advises,
whenever you
need a bit or room to move
When life becomes too fast

Translation
A decade ago, Nancy did
what so many Americans dream about. She quit an
executive position
and opened / set up
a household equipment store in her neighborhood.
People like Nancy made the
decision
primarily because of/owing to/due to their desire
to improve the quality of their lives.
But, to run a small business is by no
means an easy job. Without her steady income,
Nancy had to
cut back on her daily
expenses. Sometimes she did not even have the
money to pay the premiums
for the
various kinds of insurance she needed. Once she
could not even pick up the phone bill and
had to ask her parents to loan her some
money.
Fortunately, through her own
hard work, she has now got through the most
difficult time. She is
determined to
continue pursuing her vision of a better life.

Recent Changes in Chinese Family Life
Great
changes
have
taken
place
in
Chinese
family
life
in
the
past
twenty
years.
In
my
parents'
words,
the
difference
between
their
childhood
and
mine
is
as
vast
as
that
between
heaven
and
earth.
When
my parents were young, there was no TV
,
no computers nor any other electronic appli-ances
in
their
home.
Their
food
was
simple
and
their
clothing
plain.
What
is
unbelievable
to
young
people
today
is
that
they
seldom
dined
out
in
a
restaurant,
or
traveled
to
a
scenic
spot
for
a
holiday.
In
contrast to family life one generation ago, each
family in China today has at least one TV set
and many have been equipped with
telephones, computers, even cars. While the senior
members
of a family watch films on TV
at home, the younger members like to play computer
games or talk
to their friends who may
live thousands of miles from them.
The
changes in Chinese family life mirror the economic
development of our country. Without the
prosperity of the whole country, our
family life would probably be just the same as
before. Times
have changed, and
changed, most would surely agree with me, for the
better.

Can

He freed

But it seems the good

And he's gone,

Can you tell me, where he's gone,
I thought I saw him walhin' up over the

The unit we are going to study is all
about civil-rights heroes. The song you have just
heard is
about four of them. Can you
guess who they are? All are American. All are
dead, all, as the song
says,
comes when she quotes the proverb:
guess is Dion has in mind Abraham
Lincoln, the American president who freed the
slaves and was
assassi-nated. How about
John, another leader who helped people to free
themselves? He too died
young.
Can
you
guess
who
it
might
be?
President
John
F.
Kennedy
seems
most
likely.
He
too
supported civil rights. He too died
young, assassinated like Lincoln.
Now
who could Martin be? Another civil-rights leader
who died young, once again assassi-nated.
A
great
speaker
comes
to
mind.
Who
do
you
think?
Martin
Luther
King,
surely.
And
finally,
Bobby.
Bobby
who?
Probably
Dion
is
thinking
of
Bobby
Kennedy,
John
Kennedy's
brother,
another supporter of civil rights. He
was running for president when, like his brother
before him,
he too was gunned down.

The Civil-Rights
Movement in the U.S.
Black
Africans
were
first
brought
as
slaves
to
what
was
to
become
the
United
States
in
the
seventeenth
century.
Slavery
was
strongest
in
the
South,
where
large
plantations
grew
cotton,
to-
bacco, and other crops. Towards the end of the
eighteenth century, a growing demand for cotton
led to an increase in the demand for
slaves in the region. Slavery was less profitable
in the North,
however,
and
much
of
the
opposition
to
slavery
came
from
the
northern
states.
The
tension
between the North
and the South over the issue of slavery led to the
Civil War in 1861.
With the victory of
the North, slavery was abolished. Discrimination,
however, did not end. Black
Americans
were
treated
as
second
class
citizens,
especially
in
the
South.
Dissatisfaction
with
unfair
treatment
eventually
led
to
the
civil
rights
protests
of
the
1950s
and
1960s
that
brought
about government action aimed at
reducing discrimination.
As a result,
African Americans have come a long way
in the last fifty
years, but
they still find
themselves
at
a
disadvantage
in
comparison
with
Americans
of
European
descent.
Only
17
per
cent of the black population are able
to finish higher education, in contrast to 28 per
cent of whites.
Incomes for the average
white family were just over $$44,000 in 1999. For
an average black family,
however, the
figure was in the region of $$25,000. Not one of
the chief executive officers of the top
500 companies is black.
Anyway, the civil-rights movement in
the U.S. still has a long way to go.

Despite calling it by such a familiar
name, it's clear the singer has no time for the
handgun. He
sings of it as being good

guns, the singer moves on to how dangerous guns

drinking leads to violence.
We hear the story of Big Jim, the gambler. As he

he is losing at cards because others are cheating.
He gets into an argument and
