听力原文: To the Sony engineers who designed it, the Walkman was not quite what they wanted. They were aiming for something different—a stereo version of Sony's Pressman.
In 1978, Sony engineers started shrinking stereo components. They could fit in playback parts and two tiny speakers, but not the recording mechanism.
One day Masaru Ibuka, Sony's co-founder, wandered by and heard the small stereo. He recalled a project being developed elsewhere in the company—lightweight headphones.
"What if you got rid of the speakers and combined your stereo with the headphones?" asked Ibuka. "The headphones would use less power and increase the quality of the sound.
Soon the teenagers discovered the new invention. Perfect for sports, small enough to fit into the pocket, the Walkman became a raging success.

听力原文: When John Milton, writer of Paradise Lost, entered Cambridge University in 1625, he was already skilled in Latin after seven years of studying it as his second language at St. Paul's school, London. Like all English boys who prepared for college in grammar school, he had learned not only to read Latin but also to speak and write it fluently and correctly. His pronunciation of Latin was English, however, and seemed to have sounded strange to his friends when he later visited Italy.
Schoolboys gained their skill in Latin in a bitter way. They memorized rules to make learning by heart easier. They first made a word-for-word translation and then an idiomatic translation into English. As they increased their skill, they translated their English back into Latin without referring to the book and then compared their translation with the original. The schoolmaster was always at hand to encourage them.
After several years of study, the boys began to write compositions in imitation of the Latin writers they read. And as they began to read Latin poems, they began to write poems in Latin. Because Milton was already a poet at ten, his poems were much better than those painfully put together by other boys. During the seven years Milton spent at the university, he made constant use of his command of Latin. He wrote some excellent Latin poems which he published among his works in 1645.

听力原文: You may remember that a few weeks ago, we discussed the question of what photography is. Is it art, or is it a method of reproducing images? Do photographs belong in museums or just in our homes? Today I want to talk about a person who tried to make his professional life an answer to such questions.
Alfred Stieglitz went from the United States to Germany to study engineering. While he was there, he became interested in photography and began to experiment with his camera. He took pictures under conditions that most photographers considered too difficult—he took them at night, in the rain, and of people and objects reflected in windows. When he returned to the United States, he continued these revolutionary efforts. Stieglitz was the first person to photograph skyscrapers, clouds, and views from an airplane.
What Stieglitz was trying to do in these photographs was what he tried to do throughout his life: make photography an art. He felt that photography could be just as good a form. of self expression as painting or drawing. For Stieglitz, his camera was his brush. While many photographers of the late 1800' s and early 1900' s thought of their work as a reproduction of identical images, Stieglitz saw his as a creative art form. He understood the power of the camera to capture the moment. In fact, he never retouched his prints or made copies of them. If he were in this classroom today, r m sure he' d say, "Well, painters don' t normally make extra copies of their paintings, do they?"
