And because of this, we have been very interested in finding out about the history of this town itself —and some of the famous people who used to live here. We’ve also visited several historic houses in the area. This year we’re planning on going out much more to visit various historic sites away from the college.

This wind will bring us the first snow of this year. With that snow, the temperature will drop to three or four below zero. So remember to keep warm and watch out for the poor road conditions. If you like skating, however, here is the good news for you. This low temperature will last for at least two weeks and London will be a world of white.

When she had finished the cooking, she filled all her empty jam jars and left the rest of the jam in the pan. She would put it in the fridge when it was cooler. But just then the telephone rang, her mother was in hospital after a car accident. Mary picked up her bag and ran out of the house.Some days later, her husband, John, came home from a business trip. He had been travelling all day and felt like having a drink and a piece of cake. As he came into the kitchen he saw a pan with a dark red mess inside it, he lifted it up and smelled it. It smelled bad. Mary must haveforgotten to clean this pan, he thought. So he poured all the jam into the chicken yard and cleaned the pan. Then feeling comfortable, he began to eat a piece of cake.Part 2When Mary returned, she noticed the chickens behaving strangely. They were running round the yard as if they were sick. She saw the dark red mess on the ground and went closer. When she saw a plum stone she went into the kitchen. Her husband was reading a newspaper at the table. Angrily Mary rushed up to him. You threw away my jam, she shouted, Oh, thats what it was, he said. Im sorry but I thought it was porridge which had gone bad in the hot weather. Good heavens! said Mary. That must be the jam I left in the pan, but why didnt you threw it in the dustbin? John laughed, It was a mistake. However, the chickens have enjoyed the jam, except that it has made them drunk. What are we going to do with these drunken chickens?。

Unit 1Listening 1 A LectureOK, everyone, what I want to do today is continue our discussion about cities and the challenges they face, and, I’d like to focus on the city of Venice, in Italy, which is an extraordinary example. So, to begin with, let’s review a few of the points we’ve discussed so far. Remember that, for centuries, the city has been struggling with the problem of flooding. As you know, the regular floodwaters—called the acqua alta—are a big problem in the city. You may also recall that the government has started the innovative MOSE project to build water barriers and stop flooding from the ocean.Now, flooding is an important issue, but many Venetians say that the city has more serious problems than the acqua alta or the MOSE project. And most of these problems have to do with tourism.Of course, tourism has both the positive and negative side—tourism is extremely profitable. But the problem in Venice is too many tourists.For example, in 2007 the number of Venetian residents was 60,000. And what do you think the number of visitors to Venice was in that year? Twenty-one million! Recently, on a single holiday weekend in May, 80,000 tourists visited the city. Public parking lots filled up and were closed. And tourists walked through the streets eating and drinking and leaving a lot of trash behind.The result is that Venice’s city services just can’t handle so many people. The city has to pay more and more money for garbage collection to clean up all of the trash. In addition, public transportation on the famous boats and gondolas is so crowded that Venetian residents can barely find room to get on.Along with trash and crowded transportation, city residents also have to deal with higher prices for food and for housing. Food prices continue to rise around the city. Some cafés charge as much as 13 U.S. dollars for a soft drink! In the Rialto Market—an area with many shops and stores—some of the grocery stores have been replaced by souvenir shops, which means that Venetians have fewer places to buy their groceries. In popular tourist areas, rent has almost tripled, and many small local businesses—for example, toy stores and hardware stores—can’t afford to pay.Let me add that there is a serious housing problem in Venice. At one time, there were regulations making it illegal to convert residential buildings into hotels. But a law in 1999 removed those regulations, and the housing problem got even worse. Since then, the number of hotels and guesthouses has increased by 600 percent, and the number of houses that are available for local residents has gone down.These days, housing is only affordable for the very rich or for people who already own houses because they’ve been passed down by family. Young Venetians simply can’t afford to buy any property in the city. This has forced a huge number of Venetian residents to move out of the city. Thirty years ago, the population of Venice was around 120,000. Now it’s less than 60,000.So, why does Venice continue to encourage tourism when it causes so many problems? Mainly it’s because tourism in Venice generates more than two billion U.S. dollars a year in revenue—and many think that the amount is much higher.Also, there’s a lot of financial pressure on Venice. The cleaning of canals, restoration of old structures, and the MOSE project are all very expensive. Tourism brings in money to help the city solve these problems.Another point I want to make is that many people in Venice have jobs related to tourism. As moretourists come to the city, hotels, restaurants, and museums need to hire more workers. In fact, the city of Venice has a lower unemployment rate than the rest of Italy, and it’s likely a result of the tourism industry.Some people think that Venice is to blame for its own problems—that these problems are the result of greed for tourists’ money. There’s a lot of talk about limiting tourists, taxing tourists, and even asking tourists to avoid the busy seasons of Easter and Carnival. However, as you can see, maximizing the number of tourists in Venice is also necessary. So, there seem to be no simple solutions to Venice’s tourism problem.好，大家，我今天要做的就是继续讨论城市和他们面临的挑战，我想把重点放在意大利的威尼斯市，这是一个非常好的例子。

Glass RecyclingGlass has the least volatile pricing of all the post consumer recycling commodities. Composed of sand and potash; bottle glass is made from readily available and inexpensive raw materials. To be competitive, recycled glass must maintain a price that competes with these abundant raw materials. Traded as flint (clear), amber (brown), emerald (green) or mixed color broken glass.The price depends on the cleanliness and color of the recycled product. Clean flint cullet (another word for broken glass) is usually the most desirable form of recycled glass scrap. Mixed color broken glass with ceramics or stones mixed in it is the least desirable grade of cullet bringing the lowest price. Most Recyclers color sort and break or crush and screen bottles before selling their product. Modern, high production bottle manufacturing requires very clean and uniform feedstock. Over the past decade there has been a growth in the glass benefaction sector. These are intermediate processors that receive glass from recycling programs and run it through a series of steps to remove any contaminants (rocks, ceramics, metal caps, etc.) and provide a uniform feedstock to the bottle manufacturers. These preprocessor provide an excellent market for recycling programs that do not have the volume or ability to produce glass for direct mill delivery.Glass beneficiation plants use sophisticated optical sorting machines to separate the glass into the three color types. They may also x-ray the glass to detect any rocks or ceramics which are then removed. Magnets and eddy current separators are used to removed magnetic and non-magnetic metal contamination from caps and lids. The end product is a uniformly sized load of ground glass that is free of contaminants readily acceptable by bottle manufacturers.Lower grades of recycled glass that are too mixed or contaminated, may be used in concrete or in road paving material called "Glass halt". In some areas where there is an overabundance of low grade glass it is used to cover over the rubbish in the land fill in place of sand. This is not truly recycling and it is hoped that better sorting technology will soon make this material usable for new bottles.Glass recycling saves energy because recycled glass can be processed at a lower temperature than blending new glass from raw materials. Also, recycled glass is usually closer to the bottle plants than the sources of potash, the most expensive component in glass bottles and jars. Bout 32% of energy can be saved because of its low melting point. It is easier to manufacture new glassware from recycled glass than from raw material, which can also reduce air pollution by 20%, and water pollution by 50%.。
