：西班牙蔬菜汤
M:
What’s all that? Are you going to make a
salad?
W: No, I’m going to
make a gazpacho.
M: What’s
that?
W: Gazpacho is a cold
soup from Spain. It’s mostly
vegetables. I guess you can call it a
liquid
salad.
M: Cold soup?
Sounds weird.
W: It’s delicious. Trust
me! I tried it for the first time during my summer
vacation in Spain. You
see,
in
the
south
of
Spain,
it
gets
very
hot
and
summer,
up
to
42
degrees
Celsius,
so
a
cold
gazpacho is very
refreshing. The main ingredients are tomato,
cucumber, bell peppers, olive oil
and
stale bread.
M: Stale bread? Surely you
mean bread for dipping into the soup.
W: No. bread is crushed and blended in,
like everything else. It adds texture and
thickness to the
soup.
M:
um…and is it healthy?
W:
S
ure. As I said earlier, it’s mostly
vegetables. You can also add different things if
you like such
as half-boiled eggs or
cured ham.
M: Cured ham? What’s
that?
W: That’s another
Spanish delicacy. Have you never heard of it? It’s
quite famous.
M: No. Is it
good too?
W: Oh, yeah, definitely. It’s
amazing. It’s a little dry and salty. And it is
very expensive because it
comes from a
special type of pig that only eats a special type
of food. The ham is covered in salt to
dry and preserve it, and left hung for
up to two years. It has a very distinct favor.
M: um, sounds interesting. Where can I
find some?
W: It used to be difficult
to get Spanish produce here, but it's now a lot
more common. Most large
supermarket
chains have cured ham in little packets. But in
Spain, you can buy a whole leg.
M: A
whole pig leg? Why would anybody want so much ham?
W: In Spain, many people buy a whole
leg for special group events such as Christmas.
They cut it
themselves into very thin
slices with a long flat knife.
Q1 What do we learn about gazpacho?

：买酒送上司
M: Hello, I wish to buy a bottle of
wine.
W: Hi, yes. What kind of wine
would you like?
M: I don’t know. Sorry,
I don’t know much about wine.
W: That’s no problem at all. What’s the
occa
sion and how much would you like to
spend?
M: It’s for my boss. It’s his
birthday. I know he likes wine but I don’t know
what type. I also did
not
want
anything
too
expensive.
Maybe
middle
range.
How
much
would
you
say
is
a
middle
range bottle of a
wine approximately?
W:
Well,
it
varies
greatly.
Our
lowest
prices
are
around
60
dollars
a
bottle
but
those
are
table
wines. They are not very special and I
would not suggest them as a gift. On the other
hand, our
most
expensive
bottles
are
over
a
hundred
and
fifty
dollars.
If
you
are
looking
for
something
priced in the middle, I would say
anything between 30 dollars and 60 dollars would
make a decent
gift. How does that
sound?
M: um, yeah. I guess something
in the vicinity of 30 or 40 would be good. Which
type would you
recommend?
W:
I
would
say
the
safest
option
is
always
a
red
wine.
They
are
generally
more
popular
than
whites and can usually be paired with
food more easily. Our specialty here are Italian
wines and
these tend to be fruity
with medium acidity. This one here is a
Chianti which is perhaps Italy's
most
famous
type
of
red
wine.
Alternatively,
you
may
wish
to
try
and
surprise
your
boss
with
something less common such as this
Zinfandel. The grapes are originally
native to
Croatia, but
this
winery is in eastern Italy. And it has more spicy
and peppery flavor. So, to summarize, the
Chianti is more classical and Zinfandel
more exciting. Both are similarly priced, and just
under 40
dollars.
M: I'll go
with Chianti then, thanks.

Passage One
：
战时密码
Many people enjoy secret codes. The
harder the code, the more some people will try to
figure it
out. In wartime, codes are
especially important. They help army send news
about battles and the
sizes of enemy
forces. Neither side wants its codes broken by the
other. One very important code
was
never broken. It was used during World War II by
the Americans. It was a spoken code never
written down. And it was
develop
ed and used by Navajo Indians.
They were called “the Navajo
code
talkers” the Navajos created the code in their own
language. Navajo is hard to learn. Only a
few people know it. So it was pretty
certain that the enemy would not be able to
understand the
cold talkers. In
addition, the talkers used code words. They called
a submarine an iron fish and a
small
bomb thrown by hand a potato. If they wanted to
spell something, they used code words for
letters of the alphabet. For instance,
the letter A was ant or apple or eggs. The code
talkers worked
mostly in the islands in
the Pacific. One or two would be assigned to a
group of soldiers. They
would send
messages by field telephone to the code talker in
the next group. And he would relay
the
information to his commander. The code talkers
played an important part in several battles.
They
helped
troops
coordinate
their
movements
and
attacks. After
the
war,
the
US
government
honored them for what they had
accomplished. Theirs was the most successful
wartime code ever
used.

工作带来哪些变化
If you are young and thinking about
your career. You want to know where you can make a
living.
Well, it’s going to be a
technological replacement of a lot of
knowledge
-intensive jobs in the next
twenty years. Particularly, in the two
largest sectors of labor force with professional
skills. One is
teaching and the other
healthcare. You have so many applications and
software and platforms that
are going
to come in and provide information and service in
these two fields, which means a lot of
healthcare and education sectors would
be radically changed and a lot of jobs will be
lost. Now,
where will t
he
new jobs be found? Well, the one extra economy
can’t be easily duplicated by even
smart
technologies
is
the
caring
sector,
the
personal
care
sector.
That
is,
you
can’t
really
get
a
robot to do
a great massage or physically therapy. Or you
can’t get the
kind of personal
attention
