[ti:Trouble with the Hubble]
[by:更多学习内容，请到VeryCD.com搜索“露珠”]
[00:10.59]What is the special importance of a telescope in space?
[00:17.11]The Hubble telescope was launched into
[00:19.66]space by NASA on April 20, 1990 at a cost of over a billion dollars.
[00:28.68]Right from the start there was trouble with the Hubble.
[00:33.84]The pictures it sent us were very disappointing because its main mirror was faulty!
[00:41.31]NASA is now going to put the telescope right,
[00:45.34]so it will soon be sending up four astronauts to repair it.
[00:51.20]The shuttle Endeavour will be taking the astronauts to the Hubble.
[00:56.33]A robot-arm from the Endeavour will grab the telescope and hold it while the astronauts make the necessary repairs.
[01:06.35]Of course, the Hubble is above the earth's atmosphere,
[01:11.24]so it will soon be sending us the clearest pictures of the stars and distant galaxies that we have ever seen.
[01:20.73]The Hubble will tell us a great deal about the age and size of the universe.
[01:27.74]By the time you read this, the Hubble's eagle eye will have sent us thousands and thousands of wonderful pictures.

[ti:After the Fire]
[by:更多学习内容，请到VeryCD.com搜索“露珠”]
[00:10.30]What was the danger to the villages after the fire?
[00:16.43]Firemen had been fighting the forest fire for nearly three weeks before they could get it under control.
[00:24.71]A short time before, great trees had covered the countryside for miles around.
[00:32.82]Now, smoke still rose up from the warm ground over the desolate hills.
[00:40.73]Winter was coming on and the hills threatened the surrounding villages with destruction,
[00:48.68]for heavy rain would not only wash away the soil but would cause serious floods as well.
[00:56.96]When the fire had at last been put out,
[01:00.53]the forest authorities ordered several tons of a special type of grass-seed which would grow quickly.
[01:08.80]The seed was sprayed over the ground in huge quantities by aeroplanes.
[01:15.84]The planes had been planting seed for nearly a month when it began to rain.
[01:21.84]By then, however, in many places the grass had already taken root.
[01:28.38]In place of the great trees which had been growing there for centuries,
[01:33.66]patches of green had begun to appear in the blackened soil.

[00:11.28]Why did Jenny want to leave the wedding reception?
[00:16.80]Jeremy Hampden has a large circle of friends and is very popular at parties.
[00:24.20]Everybody admires him for his great sense of humour--everybody, that is, except his six-year-old daughter, Jenny.
[00:34.85]Recently, one of Jeremy's closest friends asked him to make a speech at a wedding reception.
[00:43.10]This is the sort of thing that Jeremy loves.
[00:47.35]He prepared the speech carefully and went to the wedding with Jenny.
[00:52.84]He had included a large number of funny stories in the speech and, of course, it was a great success.
[01:01.52]As soon as he had finished Jenny told him she wanted to go home.
[01:08.38]Jeremy was a little disappointed by this but he did as his daughter asked.
[01:14.98]On the way home, he asked Jenny if she had enjoyed the speech.
[01:21.03]To his surprise she said she hadn't.
[01:25.10]Jeremy asked her why this was so and she told him that she did not like to see so many people laughing at him!

[ti:The Channel Tunnel]
[by:更多学习内容，请到VeryCD.com搜索“露珠”]
[00:10.00]Why was the first tunnel not completed?
[00:14.67]In 1858, a French engineer, Aime Thome de Gamond,
[00:20.80]arrived in England with a plan for a 21-mile tunnel under the English Channel.
[00:27.69]He said that it would be possible to build a platform in the centre of the Channel.
[00:34.17]This platform would serve as a port and a railway station.
[00:39.63]The tunnel would be well-ventilated if tall chimneys were built above sea level.
[00:46.35]In 1860, a better plan was put forward by an Englishman, William Low.
[00:53.93]He suggested that a double railway-tunnel should be built.
[00:58.66]This would solve the problem of ventilation for if a train entered this tunnel, it would draw in fresh air behind it.
[01:08.89]Forty-two years later a tunnel was actually begun.
[01:13.97]If, at the time, the British had not feared invasion, it would have been completed.
[01:22.13]The world had to wait almost another 100 years for the Channel Tunnel.
[01:28.61]It was officially opened on March 7, 1994, finally connecting Britain to the European continent.

[00:11.07]Why did the police have to push Jumbo off the main street?
[00:17.78]Last Christmas, the circus owner, Jimmy Gates, decided to take some presents to a children's hospital.
[00:26.85]Dressed up as Father Christmas and accompanied by a 'guard of honour' of six pretty girls,
[00:34.00]he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant called Jumbo.
[00:41.60]He should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing.
[00:47.87]A policeman approached Jimmy and told him he ought to have gone along a side street as Jumbo was holding up the traffic.
[00:57.78]Though Jimmy agreed to go at once, Jumbo refused to move.
[01:04.87]Fifteen policemen had to push very hard to get him off the main street.
[01:11.05]The police had a difficult time, but they were most amused.
[01:16.72]'Jumbo must weigh a few tons,' said a policeman afterwards,
[01:22.77]'so it was fortunate that we didn't have to carry him.
[01:27.79]Of course, we should arrest him, but as he has a good record, we shall let him off this time.'

[00:10.69]What was 'sweet as honey' and why?
[00:16.04]In 1963 a Lancaster bomber crashed on Wallis Island,
[00:22.41]a remote place in the South Pacific, a long way west of Samoa.
[00:28.60]The plane wasn't too badly damaged,
[00:31.61]but over the years the crash was forgotten and the wreck remained undisturbed.
[00:38.58]Then in 1989, twenty-six years after the crash, the plane was accidentally rediscovered in an aerial survey of the island.
[00:51.34]By this time, a Lancaster bomber in reasonable condition was rare and worth rescuing.
[00:59.89]The French authorities had the plane packaged and moved in parts back to France.
[01:06.28]Now a group of enthusiasts are going to have the plane restored.
[01:11.64]It has four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines but the group will need to have only three of them rebuilt.
[01:20.44]Imagine their surprise and delight when they broke open the packing cases
[01:26.63]and found that the fourth engine was sweet as honey--still in perfect condition.
[01:34.21]A colony of bees had turned the engine into a hive and it was totally preserved in beeswax!

[00:10.03]Why does Tazieff risk his life like this?
[00:15.75]Haroun Tazieff, the Polish scientist, has spent his lifetime studying active volcanoes and deep caves in all parts of the world.
[00:27.85]In 1948, he went to Lake Kivu in the Congo to observe a new volcano which he later named Kituro.
[00:39.75]Tazieff was able to set up his camp very close to the volcano while it was erupting violently.
[00:49.28]Though he managed to take a number of brilliant photographs, he could not stay near the volcano for very long.
[00:58.83]He noticed that a river of liquid rock was coming towards him.
[01:03.93]It threatened to surround him completely, but Tazieff managed to escape just in time.
[01:12.79]He waited until the volcano became quiet and he was able to return two days later.
[01:20.47]This time, he managed to climb into the mouth of Kituro so that he could take photographs and measure temperatures.
[01:30.92]Tazieff has often risked his life in this way.
[01:35.69]He has been able to tell us more about active volcanoes than any man alive.

[01:14.56]'No, not at all,' I answered. 'I'm going to...'

[00:29.08]If the Houses of Parliament had not been burned down in 1834,
[00:35.36]the great clock would never have been erected.
[00:39.87]Big Ben takes its name from Sir Benjamin Hall who was responsible for the making of the clock when the new Houses of Parliament were being built.
[00:52.51]It is not only of immense size, but is extremely accurate as well.
[01:00.35]Officials from Greenwich Observatory have the clock checked twice a day.
[01:07.17]On the B.B.C. you can hear the clock when it is actually striking because microphones are connected to the clock tower.
[01:17.47]Big Ben has rarely gone wrong.
[01:21.16]Once, however, it failed to give the correct time.
[01:26.03]A painter who had been working on the tower hung a pot of paint on one of the hands and slowed it down!

[00:11.59]What mistake was made?
[00:15.43]The great racing driver, Sir Malcolm Campbell, was the first man to drive at over 300 miles per hour.
[00:26.14]He set up a new world record in September 1935 at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah.
[00:36.32]Bluebird, the car he was driving, had been specially built for him.
[00:42.92]It was over 30 feet in length and had a 2, 500-horsepower engine.
[00:50.42]Although Campbell reached a speed of over 304 miles per hour,
[00:56.20]he had great difficulty in controlling the car because a tyre burst during the first run.
[01:04.39]After his attempt, Campbell was disappointed to learn that his average speed had been 299 miles per hour.
[01:15.53]However, a few days later, he was told that a mistake had been made.
[01:22.11]His average speed had been 301 miles per hour.
[01:27.54]Since that time, racing drivers have reached speeds over 600 miles an hour.
[01:35.58]Following in his father's footsteps many years later, Sir Malcolm's son, Donald, also set up a world record.
[01:45.91]Like his father, he was driving a car called Bluebird.

[00:32.68]They have all been put to shame by a boy who, while playing truant travelled 1, 600 miles.
[00:42.90]He hitchhiked to Dover and towards evening went into a boat to find somewhere to sleep.
[00:51.32]When he woke up next morning, he discovered that the boat had, in the meantime, travelled to Calais.
[01:00.90]No one noticed the boy as he crept off.
[01:04.89]From there, he hitchhiked to Paris in a lorry.
[01:09.46]The driver gave him a few biscuits and a cup of coffee and left him just outside the city.
[01:18.09]The next car the boy stopped did not take him into the centre of Paris as he hoped it would,
[01:26.40]but to Perpignan on the French-Spanish border.
[01:31.54]There he was picked up by a policeman and sent back to England by the local authorities.
[01:39.10]He has surely set up a record for the thousands of children who dream of evading school.

[00:10.98]Did the doctors find out how the woman died?
[00:16.55]The mummy of an Egyptian woman who died in 800 B.C. has just had an operation.
[00:25.14]The mummy is that of Shepenmut who was once a singer in the Temple of Thebes.
[00:32.44]As there were strange marks on the X-ray plates taken of the mummy,
[00:38.20]doctors have been trying to find out whether the woman died of a rare disease.
[00:44.92]The only way to do this was to operate.
[00:49.60]The operation, which lasted for over four hours,
[00:54.40]proved to be very difficult because of the hard resin which covered the skin.
[01:00.89]The doctors removed a section of the mummy and sent it to a laboratory.
[01:06.75]They also found something which the X-ray plates did not show: a small wax figure of the god Duamutef.
[01:17.10]This god which has the head of a cow was normally placed inside a mummy.
[01:23.78]The doctors have not yet decided how the woman died.

[00:10.39]For how long did the writer give up smoking?
[00:15.78]After reading an article entitled 'Cigarette Smoking and Your Health' I lit a cigarette to calm my nerves.
[00:26.25]I smoked with concentration and pleasure as I was sure that this would be my last cigarette.
[00:35.11]For a whole week I did not smoke at all and during this time my wife suffered terribly.
[00:43.84]I had all the usual symptoms of someone giving up smoking: a bad temper and an enormous appetite.
[00:53.83]My friends kept on offering me cigarettes and cigars.
[00:59.15]They made no effort to hide their amusement whenever I produced a packet of sweets from my pocket.
[01:08.29]After seven days of this I went to a party.
[01:13.04]Everybody around me was smoking and I felt extremely uncomfortable.
[01:19.78]When my old friend Brian urged me to accept a cigarette, it was more than I could bear.
[01:29.23]I took one guiltily, lit it and smoked with satisfaction.
[01:35.71]My wife was delighted that things had returned to normal once more.
[01:41.63]Anyway, as Brian pointed out, it is the easiest thing in the world to give up smoking.
[01:50.01]He himself has done it lots of times!

[01:03.46]and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it had touched down.
[01:09.23]Everybody on board was worried and we were curious to find out what had happened.
[01:16.21]Later we learnt that there was a very important person on board.
[01:21.17]The police had been told that a bomb had been planted on the plane.

[00:10.28]How many people visited the Great Exhibition of 1851?
[00:18.20]Perhaps the most extraordinary building of the 19th century was the Crystal Palace
[00:26.04]which was built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851.
[00:33.43]The Crystal Palace was different from all other buildings in the world, for it was made of iron and glass.
[00:43.01]It was one of the biggest buildings of all time and a lot of people from many countries came to see it.
[00:52.23]A great many goods were sent to the exhibition from various parts of the world.
[00:58.38]There was also a great deal of machinery on display.
[01:03.67]The most wonderful piece of machinery on show was Nasmyth's steam hammer.
[01:11.50]Though in those days travelling was not as easy as it is today,
[01:17.79]steam boats carried thousands of visitors across the Channel from Europe.
[01:23.94]On arriving in England, they were, taken to the Crystal Palace by train.
[01:30.34]There were six million visitors in all,
[01:33.91]and the profits from the exhibition were used to build museums and colleges.
[01:39.94]Later, the Crystal Palace was moved to South London.
[01:44.67]It remained one of the most famous buildings in the world until it was burnt down in 1936.

[00:22.17]Working rapidly in the darkness, he soon changed into the dead man's clothes.
[00:29.11]Now, dressed in a blue uniform and with a rifle over his shoulder,
[00:35.61]the prisoner marched boldly up and down in front of the camp.
[00:40.97]He could hear shouting in the camp itself.
[00:44.53]Lights were blazing and men were running here and there: they had just discovered that a prisoner had escaped.
[00:54.19]At that moment, a large black car with four officers inside it, stopped at the camp gates.
[01:03.80]The officers got out and the prisoner stood to attention and saluted as they passed.
[01:11.43]When they had gone the driver of the car came towards him.
[01:16.65]The man obviously wanted to talk.
[01:20.28]He was rather elderly with grey hair and clear blue eyes.
[01:25.90]The prisoner felt sorry for him, but there was nothing else he could do.

[00:11.44]What was the monster called?
[00:15.27]Fishermen and sailors sometimes claim to have seen monsters in the sea.
[00:21.92]Though people have often laughed at stories told by seamen,
[00:27.10]it is now known that many of these 'monsters' which have at times been sighted are simply strange fish.
[00:36.82]Occasionally, unusual creatures are washed to the shore, but they are rarely caught out at sea.
[00:45.77]Some time ago, however, a peculiar fish was caught near Madagascar.
[00:53.36]A small fishing boat was carried miles out to sea by the powerful fish as it pulled on the line.
[01:02.23]Realizing that this was no ordinary fish, the fisherman made every effort not to damage it in any way.
[01:13.66]When it was eventually brought to shore, it was found to be over thirteen feet long.
[01:21.91]It had a head like a horse big blue eyes, shining silver skin, and a bright red tail.
[01:31.54]The fish, which has since been set to a museum where it is being examined by a scientist, is called an oarfish.
[01:41.93]Such creatures have rarely been seen alive by man as they live at a depth of six hundred feet.

[00:23.83]No one knows how long it will last.
[00:27.51]The busmen have stated that the strike will continue until general agreement is reached about pay and working conditions.
[00:38.37]Most people believe that the strike will last for at least a week.

[00:21.12]If they are not brought to the surface soon they may lose their lives.
[00:26.79]However, rescue operations are proving difficult.
[00:31.65]If explosives are used, vibrations will cause the roof of the mine to collapse.
[00:38.73]Rescue workers are therefore drilling a hole on the north side of the mine.
[00:45.14]They intend to bring the men up in a special capsule.
[00:50.09]If there had not been a hard layer of rock beneath the soil,
[00:55.15]they would have completed the job in a few hours.

[01:08.62]Meanwhile, a microphone, which was lowered into the mine two hours ago,

[00:27.29]So it comes as a surprise to learn that giant fish are terrifying the divers on North Sea oil rigs.
[00:37.30]Oil rigs have to be repaired frequently and divers, who often have to work in darkness a hundred feet under water,
[00:47.27]have been frightened out of their wits by giant fish bumping into them as they work.
[00:54.83]Now they have had special cages made to protect them from these monsters.
[01:01.06]The fish are not sharks or killer whales,
[01:05.12]but favourite eating varieties like cod and skate which grow to unnatural sizes,
[01:12.92]sometimes as much as twelve feet in length.
[01:17.85]Three factors have caused these fish to grow so large:
[01:23.01]the warm water round the hot oil pipes under the sea;
[01:28.17]the plentiful supply of food thrown overboard by the crews on the rigs;
[01:34.73]the total absence of fishing boats around the oil rigs.
[01:39.95]As a result, the fish just eat and eat and grow and grow in the lovely warm water.

[00:21.58]was presented to the USA in the nineteenth century by the people of France.
[00:29.30]The great statue, which was designed by the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, took ten years to complete.
[00:39.14]The actual figure was made of copper supported by a metal framework which had been especially constructed by Eiffel.
[00:49.09]Before it could be transported to the United States,
[00:53.21]a site had to be found for it and a pedestal had to be built.
[00:58.79]The site chosen was an island at the entrance of New York Harbour.
[01:04.37]By 1884, a statue which was 151 feet tall had been erected in Paris.
[01:13.43]The following year, it was taken to pieces and sent to America.
[01:19.43]By the end of October 1886,

[00:16.63]Experiments have proved that children can be instructed in swimming at a very early age.
[00:25.10]At a special swimming pool in Los Angeles,
[00:28.72]children become expert at holding their breath under water even before they can walk.
[00:36.50]Babies of two months old do not appear to be reluctant to enter the water.
[00:42.95]It is not long before they are so accustomed to swimming that they can pick up weights from the floor of the pool.
[00:51.71]A game that is very popular with these young swimmers is the underwater tricycle race.
[00:59.56]Tricycles are lined up on the floor of the pool seven feet under water.
[01:06.26]The children compete against each other to reach the other end of the pool.
[01:12.26]Many pedal their tricycles but most of them prefer to push or drag them.
[01:19.68]Some children can cover the whole length of the pool without coming up for breath even once.
[01:28.12]Whether they will ever become future Olympic champions, only time will tell.
[01:34.50]Meanwhile, they should encourage those among us who cannot swim five yards before they are gasping for air.

[00:09.57]Why was the Ambassador particularly lucky?
[00:14.92]When the Ambassador of Escalopia returned home for lunch, his wife got a shock.
[00:23.22]He looked pale and his clothes were in a frightful state.
[00:28.74]'What has happened?' she asked.
[00:32.77]'How did your clothes get into such a mess?'
[00:37.81]'A fire extinguisher, my dear,' answered the Ambassador drily.
[00:43.66]'University students set the Embassy on fire this morning.'
[00:48.63]'Good heavens!' exclaimed his wife.
[00:52.87]'And where were you at the time?'
[00:56.61]'I was in my office as usual,' answered the Ambassador.
[01:01.45]'The fire broke out in the basement.
[01:04.41]I went down immediately, of course, and that fool, Horst,
[01:09.87]aimed a fire extinguisher at me.
[01:12.80]He thought I was on fire.
[01:15.67]I must definitely get that fellow posted.'
[01:20.33]The Ambassador's wife went on asking questions,
[01:24.40]when she suddenly noticed a big hole in her husband's hat.
[01:30.27]'And how can you explain that?' she asked.
[01:34.88]'Oh, that,' said the Ambassador.
[01:38.56]'Someone fired a shot through my office window.
[01:42.59]Accurate, don't you think?
[01:44.88]Fortunately, I wasn't wearing it at the time.
[01:49.36]If I had been, I would not have been able to get home for lunch.'

[00:11.01]What happens to the lanterns at the end of the festival?
[00:17.38]A Festival for the Dead is held once a year in Japan.
[00:22.72]This festival is a cheerful occasion,
[00:26.05]for on this day, the dead are said to return to their homes and they are welcomed by the living.
[00:34.36]As they are expected to be hungry after their long journey, food is laid out for them.
[00:41.81]Specially-made lanterns are hung outside each house to help the dead to find their way.
[00:49.85]All night long, people dance and sing.
[00:54.07]In the early morning the food that had been laid out for the dead
[00:59.49]is thrown into a river or into the sea as it is considered unlucky for anyone living to eat it.
[01:09.25]In towns that are near the sea, the tiny lanterns which had been hung in the streets the night before,
[01:17.84]are placed into the water when the festival is over.
[01:22.15]Thousands of lanterns slowly drift out to sea guiding the dead on their return journey to the other world.
[01:31.58]This is a moving spectacle, for crowds of people
[01:36.07]stand on the shore watching the lanterns drifting away until they can be seen no more.

[00:03.30]Do they speak English?
[00:12.26]Why does the writer not understand the porter?
[00:17.71]I arrived in London at last.
[00:21.05]The railway station was big, black and dark.
[00:26.35]I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter.
[00:32.60]I not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well.
[00:40.16]The porter, however, could not understand me.
[00:44.44]I repeated my question several times and at last he understood.
[00:51.37]he answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly.
[00:57.42]'I am a foreigner,' I said.
[01:01.12]Then he spoke slowly, but I could not understand him.
[01:07.15]My teacher never spoke English like that!
[01:11.68]The porter and I looked at each other and smiled.
[01:15.91]Then he said something and I understood it.
[01:20.14]'You'll soon learn English!' he said.
[01:24.32]I wonder.
[01:26.53]In England, each person speaks a different language.
[01:31.50]The English understand each other, but I don't understand them!

[by:更多学习内容，请到VeryCD.com搜索“露珠”]
[00:10.99]Who is the student's best critic?
[00:15.97]I am an art student and I paint a lot of pictures.
[00:21.45]Many people pretend that they understand modern art.
[00:26.32]They always tell you what a picture is 'about'.
[00:30.55]Of course, many pictures are not 'about' anything.
[00:35.30]They are just pretty patterns.
[00:38.11]We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material.
[00:44.18]I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else.
[00:52.01]They notice more.
[00:54.27]My sister is only seven,
[00:57.08]but she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not.
[01:02.67]She came into my room yesterday.
[01:05.94]'What are you doing?' she asked.
[01:09.36]'I'm hanging this picture on the wall,' I answered. 'It's a new one. Do you like it?'
[01:17.48]She looked at it critically for a moment.
[01:21.07]'It's all right,' she said, 'but isn't it upside down?'
[01:26.93]I looked at it again.
[01:28.97]She was right! It was!
