The fact that he or she mi

10、 of doing so, such an appeal should not be ignored. But the task should be undertaken gently, with great patience and a sense of humour.

Nice. CDs have such good sound. Do you ever wonder how they make CDs?Kathy: Well, they get a bunch of mus
18、icians together, and they sing and play.Mike: Come on. You know what I mean. Why is the sound quality so good? Imean, why do CDs sound so much clearer than cassette tapes?Kathy: Actually, I do know that.Mike: Really?Kathy: Its all based on digital sound. CDs are digital. Digital sound is like severa
19、l photos, all taken one after another. Its kind of like pictures of sound. The intensity of the sound how strong it is is measured very quickly. Then its measured again and again. When we hear the sound, it all sounds like one long piece of sound, but its really lots of pieces close together. And ea
20、ch piece is really clear.Mike:So digital is like lots of short “pieces” of sound.Kathy:Exactly. This is different from analog* thats how they used to record. Analog is more like one wave of sound. It moves up and down with volume and pitch. Anyway, analog is like a single wave. Digital is like a ser
21、ies of pieces.Mike: OK, I understand that. But how do they make the CDs?Kathy: I told you, Mike.

22、ape. So then the videotape is played through a computer.Mike: OK. What does the computer do?Kathy: Well, the computer is used to figure out the “pieces” of sound we were talking about; how long everything is, how far apart spaces are.Mike: OK. So the computer is figuring out those separate “pieces”
23、of sound.Kathy: Yeah. They need to do that to make the master.Mike: The master?Kathy: The master is the original that all the other CDs are copied from. Its made of glass. Its a glass disk that spins around just like a regular CD. And the glass disk is covered with a chemical. They use a laser to bu
24、rn the signal, or the song, into the glass plate. The laser burns through the chemical, but not through the glass.Mike: So the laser cuts the sound into the plate?Kathy: Right. What its doing is cutting little holes into the back of the disk. Those holes are called “pits.” The laser puts in the pits
25、.Mike: So CDs really have little holes on the back? I didnt know that.Kathy: Yeah. Tiny pits. Theyre too small to see. Anyway, then theyve got the master, and they make copies from it.

36、nt*would make really dirty clothes clean.Woman: Yeah?Man: So what do you think happened when they used the ad in the Middle East?Woman: I dont know.Man: Think about it. In the Middle East, languages are written from right to left. People look at things from right to left.Woman: So it looked like the
37、 soap made the clothes dirty?Man: “Our soap will make your clothes dirty!” Not a very smart ad campaign.Woman: They should have changed the order of the pictures. They should have put the picture of the clean clothes on the left side and the dirty clothes on the right.Man: Really. Oh, heres another

39、man: “Until I wore this shirt, I felt good”? Gee, changing one little word gave it the opposite meaning.Man: The article says sometimes its not just the advertising slogan that gets companies into trouble.

Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you will hear.Brushing our teeth such a
44、 commonplace activity today, has been around for a long time. Imagine: the ancient Egyptians were already concerned about their dental hygiene! We know this today because they also had the good habit of being entombed* with all their treasures . So we were able to discover that tombs from 3,000 year
45、s before Christ contained small tree branches whose ends had been frayed* into soft fibers. Its comical to imagine an Egyptian stopping to brush his teeth after a meal, on his break from building a pyramid!The true ancestor of our toothbrush, however, was invented by the Chinese in the 15th century
46、and brought back to Europe by travellers. This toothbrush was made of hairs from the neck of a Siberian wild boar which were fixed to a bamboo or bone handle. The people of the Occident*, however, found the wild boar hairs too stiff. At the time, very few people in the Western world brushed their te
47、eth, and those who did preferred horse hairs, which were softer than those of the wild boar! In Europe, it was more customary after meals to use a goose feather toothpick, or one made of silver or copper.Other animals hair was also used for dental care, right up until this century. But it was the poor Siberian wild boar that took the brunt of it. The animal was imported for its neck hairs for a long, long time . in fact, until nylon was invented, in the 20th century!In 1937, in the Du Pont laboratories in Nemours, U.
