61. I have made contact with many old people. Some of them have become my good friends. When we meet, we are able to ramble on/ chat away about everything on earth. Through talking with these old people, I have got the feeling that they are often worried about their being idle. These old people have a terrible amount of idle time yet few opportunities to make contact with the outside world. They are often forgotten by their busy younger generation. At home, young people may talk enthusiastically and endlessly with their friends and colleagues, while leaving the elders alone. Sometimes, old people will chip in/ cut in by saying a few words, only to be scolded impolitely. Young people don't understand that the elders like a lively and exciting atmosphere in the home. They don't understand the sadness old people feel towards the cold and indifferent attitude of the young.,,,,,

,,,,,		 63. What Are Qualifications For A Good Youth Of Today? Youth are the future masters of the country. Being a youth is one thing, and being a good one is another: For sure everyone tries or has tried to be a good youth, but not everyone has the same or the right idea about it. Then what are the qualifications for being a good youth? Well, they should include at least the following. First of all, one must be of good heath. A healthy body is the best treasure a person can ever possess. Without it, nothing can be accomplished. If you are poor in heath, you will have to rely on bottles after bottles of vitamin pills day after day. And just imagine having to be absent from classes, work, sports and other social activities just because you are lying sick in bed again. Secondly, one must be of good virtue, and have high moral standards. Always do to others what you should like others to do you. If everyone did the same kindness to others, what a wonderful world this would be. Thirdly, one must have the ability to work with others. Cooperation and communication are two major keys to better human relations. Everyone needs team spirit and everyone needs friends because no one can live alone or do everything he wants to do all by himself and at all times. In addition, patriotism is what we should never give up. Patriotism means a love for one's own country. It is one of the noblest of human sentiments. Everyone should be patriotic. But people sometimes think that patriots must be fighters or that they should live in times of war and fight for their country. They are mistaken. As long as you're a good citizen, always be there when your country calls for you. Last but not the least, a good youth of today should have the basic training in art. If everyone can appreciate art and be able to create more of it for others, people will live better and enjoy more.,,,,,

TYPESCRIPT FOR LISTENING COMPOSITION
PART I LISTENING COMPREHENSION
In Sections A, B and C you will hear everything ONLY ONCE. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. Mark the correct response to each question on the Colored Answer Sheet.
SECTION A TALK  
Questions 1 to 5 refer to the talk in this section. At the end of the talk you will be given 15 seconds to answer each of the following five questions.
　
Now listen to the talk.
The earliest libraries existed thousands of years ago in China and Egypt where collections of records on tablets of baked clay were kept in temples and royal palaces. In the western world, libraries were first established in Ancient Greece. For example, Aristotle once had a research library in the 3rd century BC.
The 1st library in the United States was a private library, which could be used only by authorized readers. In 1633, John Harvard gave money and more than 300 books to a newly established college in Massachusetts. In return for his generosity, the legislature voted that the school be named Harvard College. The library there set the rules for the new library. Only college students and faculty members could use the books. No book could be lent for more than one month.
The earliest public library was established in Philadelphia in 1731. Although this library was open to everyone, all readers had to pay a membership or subscription fee in order to borrow books. Very few subscription libraries exist today. Some book and stationery stores maintain small rental libraries where everyone may borrow a book for a daily charge. The 1st truly free public library that circulated books to everyone at no cost was started in a small New England town in 1833. Today there are more than 7000 free public libraries throughout the U.S. They contain about 160 million books, which are circulated to over 52 million readers.
Historically, the major purposes of the free public libraries were educational. They were expected to provide adults with the opportunity to continue their education after they left school. So the function of a public library was once described as lesser reservoir than a fountain. In other words, emphasis was to be placed on wide circulation rather than on collecting and storing books. Over the years, public library services have greatly expanded. In addition to their continuing and important educational role, public libraries provide culture and recreation, and they are trying to fill many changing community needs. Most libraries offer browsing rooms where readers can relax on comfortable chairs and read current newspapers and magazines. Many also circulate music records. Library programs of films, lectures, reading clubs and concerts also attract library users.
In addition to books, records, periodicals and reference materials, libraries provide technical information such as books and pamphlets on gardening, carpentry and other specialized fields of interest. The largest public library in the U.S. is the library of Congress. It was originally planned as a reference library for the Federal legislature. Today, in addition to that important function, it serves as a reference library for the pubic, and sends out many books to other libraries on an inter library loan system.  
Unlike free pubic libraries which open to everyone, private libraries can be used only by authorized readers. Many industrial and scientific organizations and business firms have collections of books, journals and research data for their staffs. Several private historical associations have research collections of special interest to their members. In addition, many elementary and secondary schools operate libraries for use by students and teachers. Prisons and hospitals maintain libraries, too.  
The largest and most important private libraries are operated by colleges and universities and are used by students, faculty members, and occasionally by visiting scholars. Many universities have special libraries for research in particular fields such as law, medicine and education. Recent surveys report that more than 300 million books are available in these academic libraries and they are regularly used by over 8 million students.
SECTION B INTERVIEW
Question 6 to 10 are based on an interview. At the end of the interview you will be given 15 seconds to answer each of the following question.
　
Now listen to the interview.
Interviewer: Hello, Nancy. I know you are one of the few women taxi drivers in the in the city now and you drive for a living. What made you want to become a taxi driver in the first place?
Nancy: I took pride in driving well even when I was young, for I had to wait until I had a car to learn to drive. When I finally learned, it was something I really enjoyed and still enjoy. I remember how smart those taxi drivers had seemed driving so well and dressed so neatly in their uniforms. And I thought I'd like to do that myself.
Interview: You really enjoy driving, I see. And how long have you been a taxi driver?
Nancy: Err...altogether 12 years.
Interviewer: Mm...It had been quite some time already, hasn't it?
Nancy: Yeah.
Interviewer: Then, what did you find the most difficult about becoming a taxi driver?
Nancy: I can still remember when I was learning to drive. It was scary. I did not yet know how to judge distance, and when a truck came nearer, it is seemed  like its wheels would just come right over me. Anyway, soon I learned to judge distance. I began looking ahead, stopped worrying about the truck and about what was moving on either side.
Interviewer: In your opinion, what does it take to become a good taxi driver?
Nancy: Err...besides driving well, the most important thing a taxi driver needs to know is the streets, and I knew the city well because I'd lived there for a long time. I knew all the main streets and even the side streets. And, of course, you have to keep up-dating your knowledge of the streets because the city changes. There might be a new road appearing somewhere one day.
Interviewer: Now, what about annual leave? Do you have them?
Nancy: Oh, yes. When I first started, I had only 10 days. And now I have 3 weeks every year with pay.
Interviewer: Just out of curiosity, when you go on vacation to an other place or city, do you drive there as well?
Nancy: In most cases, not. I prefer to be driven by others if we go by car. I would also prefer to go by train or plane if there is a choice. I've had too much driving in my life. So when on holiday, I just want to relax.
Interviewer: Em, I see. Let's come back to your work. Are there any unpleasant aspects in your job?
Nancy: The only serious difficulty in this work is that sometimes it's dangerous to drive at night. But you have a choice and I always choose to work days rather than nights.
Interviewer: Then, what's the best part of your job?
Nancy: I soon found that what I liked the best about this job was being outdoors, seeing how the city changes from season to season, and there are places I've seen that I would probably never have seen in anther job. And I love all kinds of weather. I'd like to leave the window down in a fine rain. And when I have a long drive near the end of the day, I sometimes go past my home to tell my two little children that I'll be home soon. And they always want to come along in my car.
Interviewer: Oh, do they? I guess kids all like to be taken for a ride sometimes.
Nancy: Yeah, but you cannot take anyone along unless they pay or you pay for them. So I've pay their fare one of these days and take them out in my taxi, because they really think it's fun. Out in the countryside on a long drive, with the fresh air and sun shining, you just seem to want to drive for ever. At least that's how it's for me.
Interviewer: Being a taxi driver, you have to meet all kinds of people. How do you feel about that?
Nancy: I enjoy meeting many different people. I might not have met some if not for this job, and I've learned a lot about how people behave in these years.
Interviewer: Can you tell us a bit more about it?
Nancy: The biggest advantage is that you come across various characters in your work. Some people are interesting, some rushed, some pleasant, some funny, some talkative. Some are so pressed for time that they change their clothes in the taxi. Those who are in the greatest rush would sometimes forget to pay.
Interviewer: Have you ever met someone who doesn't like women drivers?
Nancy: Yes. Once a passenger really objected to having a woman diver, and I laughed at him so much that he stopped his fussing. Although there has been one or two cases like this, I still think most people are nice to women drivers. So this is really an interesting part of my work.
Interviewer: Now, my last question. Have you ever thought of changing your job?
Nancy: Not yet. I might in a few years time, but not all this moment, because I really enjoy my work and I do get a  lot of satisfaction out of it. So why should I?
Interviewer: OK. Our interview is coming to the end. I'd like to wind up our interview by wishing you good luck. Thank you very much for your time, Nancy.
Nancy: Pleasure.
SECTION C NEWS BROADCAST
NEWS ITEM 1
Question 11 is based on the following news. At the end of the news item, you will be given 15 seconds to answer the question.
Now listen to the news.
Present Clinton has renewed his attacks on the American tobacco industry, accusing it of using delaying tactics to block anti-smoking legislation. The U.S. congress is considering a bill which would place tight restriction on tobacco advertising and impose penalties on tobacco companies if they continue to sell cigarettes to children. Mr. Clinton said it was a fight with the lives of American children and he urged congress to move ahead with the bill. But a spokesman for one of the big tobacco companies called the legislation totally unreasonable and he said the process had become wholly politicized.
NEWS ITEM 2
Questions 12 and 13 are based on the following news. At the end of the news item you will be given 30 seconds to answer the questions.
　
Now listen to the news.
The French President Jacques Chirac is to discuss the efforts to stimulate the Japanese economy during a visit to Japan which begins today. The French President is no stranger to Japan. He visited the country forty times before and this will be his second visit as president. Mr. Chirac will hold summit talks with the Japanese Prime Minister next Monday. He's expected to discuss efforts to boost Japanese economy as well as investment by Japanese companies in France. He'll also meet the Emperor and the Empress at Longshong Tuesday. But perhaps the event that will draw most attention is the launch of a year-long festival of French art and culture in Japan. A replica of the Arch de Triumph that usually stands in Paris has been transported to Tokyo Bay for the festival and Mr. Chirac will unveil it. The festival includes film, theatrical performances, dance and exhibitions as well as promotions for French food and wine, both of which are very popular in Japan.
NEWS ITEM 3
Questions 14 and 15 are based on the following news. At the end of the news item you will be given 30 seconds to answer the questions.
　
Now listen to the news.
Officials of the World Food Program, WFP, said they are receiving information that famine has gripped parts of Central Afghanistan. WFP officials say as the winter snow begins to melt and high mountain paths begin to clear, local leaders and international aid workers are reporting some people are dying of starvation. Officials say a major disaster affecting hundreds of thousands of people may be in the making. The Taliban are blocking food deliveries to Central Afghanistan. The UN has warned for several months that more than 1,000,000 people are suffering from the blockage and 160,000 face starvation. And emergency air-lift food to Central provinces was cancelled earlier this year when the Taliban bombed the local airport. WFP officials say existing food stocks in that area are exhausted and an emergency effort will be launched to bring wheat and potatoes into the area.
SECTION D NOTE-TAKING
In this section you will hear a mini-lecture. You will hear the lecture ONLY ONCE. While listening to the lecture, take notes on the important points. Your notes will not be marked, but you will need them to complete a 15-minute gap-filling task on ANSWER SHEET ONE after the mini lecture. Use the blank sheet for note-taking.
Good morning. Today I'd like to discuss with you the secret of good conversation. That is, how to talk to anyone, anytime, anywhere. When someone tells you that you have to give a speech, your response may be, "I've got to do what?" But it's important to remember the speech is like anything else in life. There's always a first time. People, even those who are wonderful talkers in a conversational setting, are often terrified over the prospect of giving their first speech. Some are scared about it no matter how many speeches they have given before. I suspect you may have the same experience or have seen others in similar situations. I give speeches many times a year to groups of every possible description. My secret is simply that I think public speaking as no different from any other form of public talk. It's a way of sharing my thoughts with other people. You know, in one sense, it's actually easier than social conversation, because you are in complete control of where the talk is going. At the same time, you have to have something to say, of course. This leads us to the first key of being a successful public speaker. Talk about something you know about. The second key to being a good speaker is to follow the motto of the boy-scout: be well prepared. Never go to a speech without some prior work on it. If you are talking about the subject you know well, as I just advised, preparing the speech itself should not be too difficult. If you let the audience know where you are going at the beginning, they will follow you more easily through the body of your speech. At the end of your speech, try to summarize your most important points in slightly different words from the ones you used in your opening. Here are some other key tips based on my own speaking experience and what I have noticed in other good speakers. Look at your audience. I've already said how important it is to make eye contact. First, be sure to look up from your text or notes. Second, don't talk to the wall to the back or to the window or to the side. They are not the audience. Each time you look up from your text, look at a different part of the audience so the whole group fells they are being addressed. Know the pacing and the inflection you want to use in speech. Some speakers, if they are reading from a complete text, underline the words they want to emphasize. If you are using an outline or notes, highlight ideas or phrases you should stress in your speech with a different colored pen or something. This accomplishes two things. It guarantees that your emphasis will be where you intend to be and it assures your audience that you won't be speaking in a dull monotone that will pull them to sleep, especially if you are talking after a heavy meal. Stand up straight. I don't mean that you have to assume a parade-ground posture, but stand in a comfortable, natural way rather than hunching over the lectern. Hunching can restrict your breathing and it makes you look bad as well. If there's microphone in front of you, adjust it to the right height rather than forcing yourself to stoop during the speech. If you can, check this out before it's your turn to speak. Talk normally into the microphone. If you speak at high volume into it, you'll actually be harder to hear. And be careful to keep your mouth in range of the mike. Don't weave around or turn away to answer a question from the side. Last but not the least, a speaker has to keep in mind the value of brevity. It's not easy to be brief, especially on the topic you know a lot about. But in any kind of communication, it's always worth taking the time to boil your message down to its essentials. That emphasis on brevity applies even more when you are delivering a speech. The show business expressions know when to get off, come to play again and the best public speakers always know them. Some of the longest speeches ever inflicted on the American public have been inaugural addresses of our presidents. However, one of the shortest inaugural addresses if also one of the best remembered and most often quoted. It was delivered on January 20, 1960 by John F. Kennedy. Kennedy spoke for less than 15 minutes. We can learn from these speakers whose ability to talk effectively were essential to their success as is the case with so many successful people in every profession. Brevity is the first thing we can learn from them. If people like Kennedy are willing to keep it short to maximize their effectiveness as speakers, we should be smart enough to do the same thing. To sum up, I'd mention several key points in becoming a successful public speaker such as good preparation, audience awareness, brevity, etc. I hope you'll find them very useful in making your speeches effective. Thank you. This is the end to listening comprehension.
