One Way to Solve the Problem
Too many vehicles, such as cars, tracks, motorcycles, have created a lot of serious problems in our world. Besides congestion, accidents and fast fuel consumption, they are responsible for a good part of air pollution in big dries. All the time, the vehicles are pumping huge amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere. These gases are harmful, causing disease and even death.
One possible solution that may reduce air pollution created by so many vehicles is to develop modem public transportation systems and restrict the use of private cars. If the price of petrol rises constantly and the public vehicles are efficient and convenient enough, most people will not have private cars. And the total number of cars in big cities will reduce greatly. People would find more room to walk, to jog, to perform what they used to do in the open air. Moreover, dirt, noise exhaust, parked cars, and smog would decrease greatly.
There is no inherent incompatibility between man in an urban setting and the automobile. But we don't want cars to seize our living space. We take for granted that everyone could enjoy the pleasure of stretching his legs freely, breathing and sniffing the air cheerfully. On the whole, the elimination of air pollution needs the co-efforts from the government, the public and the environments.

Dear George,
I've got a ticket for the computer fair for this coming Sunday at the Municipal Exhibition Center. I wanted to go, but my sister is away on business and my brother-in-law is in hospital. I have to look after my little niece. I know you are a computer lover. So I've decided to send you this endorsed ticket. The fair will begin at 9 a.m. You may take Bus No. 32 to go there.

PART ⅡDICTATION
The Railway in Britain
The success of early railways, such as the lines between big cities, /led to a great increase in railway building in Victorian times. /Between 1835 and 1865, about 25 thousand kilometers of track were built, /and over 100 railway companies were created./
Railway travel transformed people's lives. /Trains were first designed to can-y goods. /However, a law in the 19th century forced railway companies to run one cheap train a day, /which stopped at every station and cost only a penny a mile. /Soon working class passengers found they could afford to travel by rail. /Cheap day excursion trains became popular and seaside resorts grew rapidly. /The railways also provided thousands of new jobs, /building carriages, running the railways, and repairing the tracks./ Railways even changed the time. /The need to run railways on time meant the local time was abolished / and clocks showed the same time all over the country.
