[听力原文]
The real problem with pollution is people--/the way people think about their environment and their relationship with it. /We are all reluctant to accept the fact that our natural resources are fixed--/fixed, in fact, since the earth was created. /We want to go on using virgin materials. /We are not educated on reusing resources, /or even placing a value on "waste" products. /We are a crisis society. /Currently, we are fearful of losing the use of our water and air to pollution. /In one context, it is probably a good thing/that we are so concerned because now we will begin/to adjust our thinking on the values of natural resources. /We once thought of water and air as free. /They are not, not any more than the land is free. /People have not wanted to be educated on the part/they must play in solving our environment problems.
[听写提示]
本文的第一句如果不仔细就容易把破折号写成逗号,犯语法错误中的comma mistake,停顿后的内容是对people的进一步说明,不可能用逗号。第二句也是破折号问题,试想,如果两个fixed之间是逗号,本句就连接有三个逗号出现了,这是不正常的,因而可以想到代之以破折号。突破这两个难点之后,听写就可以顺利进行了。

Career Planning
Career planning is an essential chain of our career. It doesn't necessarily follow routine or logical steps. But all career decisions require us to learn both about ourselves and work, and to integrate these two kinds of knowledge.
Study ourselves is the key to career planning. Understanding what we value, and what we want is the foundation of all career planning. We examine our strengths and weaknesses, goals, and the trend in our personal development, which enables us to imagine how certain occupations may best fit our personality, abilities, and goals. This is the most important point. For only a sound judge of ourselves can we know where we are going, can we fulfill our ambition and devote ourselves to the work and make a full play of our potentials.
What needs to be pointed out is there're serious flaws when people make career plans. Do not search frantically for career possibilities and seize on hastily contrived solutions, overlooking the consequences as well as other alternatives. On the other side, we shall have a clear picture of the talent market. We cannot covet positions beyond our reach. Not to fix our eyes only on big cities and descent jobs, bearing in minds that social need is superior to our private happiness.
Career planning does not guarantee that all the problems, difficulties that face us in the future will be solved, nor can any formula be given to do that. But career planning should help us to approach and cope with new problems wisely.

Jane, your classmate, is thinking of buying an MP3. And you would like to recommend one to her. Write a note, telling her which brand it is and describing two features of the MP3.
April 09, 2010
Dear Jane,
I am told that you want to buy an MP3, and I think the Newman 2A is a good choice for you. It's as small as your thumb and can be easily taken everywhere. And the tone of Newman 2A is so excellent that once you used it, you might want to listen on and on. That's why I guess you will like it.
Yours,
Tom
