6,Homecoming,Answers to Listening:,First conversion,：,W:Doctor Cole,thank you for agreeing,to this interview for the Daily Campus News.Can you tell us about what you and your colleagues discussed at the annual astronomy society meeting last month?,M:Yes.For the first time ever,the scientific community has established the existence of planets outside our own solar system.Of course,we knew that certain distant stars existed,but only recently did we learn that several of them are orbited by their own planets.,W:Why did it take so long to locate those planets?,M:Well,you have to understand that they are a billion times dimmer than their parent stars.It would be like trying to see the light of a candle next to a huge explosion.We dont currently have a telescope that can be used to see them.,W:But if the astronomers didnt see the planets through a telescope,how did they find them?,M:By a very indirect method.Umm,the astronomers measured subtle distortions in the frequency of the light from the parent stars and observed that some of the stars seem to rock back and forth,they determined that this is caused by the gravitation pull from orbiting planets.,W:There is a powerful new telescope being built in Arizona.Will that help them see these planets?,M:They should be able to see them at least in the form of small spots of light.And then the scientists would be able to break down and analyze this light.By doing so,they hope to learn about the chemical composition of these planets.Oxygen and ozone molecules,for example,would be telltale signs of life on these planets.,W:Im looking forward to hearing more when the telescope is in operation and Im sure our readers would be interested too.,Questions 1 to 3 are based on the passage you have just heard.,1.What is the purpose of the conversation?,2.What is the conversation mainly about?,3.How did scientists establish the existence,of the planets?,1.C 2.D 3.B,second conversion,W:Hi,Mark!How is it going?,M:Well,not so great.,W:Whats wrong?,M:Ive got a big problem with the poetry course thats required for my major.,W:Is that all filled up?,M:No,no,there is plenty room,but there is a prerequisite.Ive got to take an introduction to poetry before I can take the special course in poets of the 1960s and the introductory courser is only offered in the evenings.,W:You dont like evening classes?,M:No,thats not the point.I work in the cafeteria every evening.I need the money to pay my tuition.,W:Can you ask someone that work to switch hours with you?Maybe you could just switch a couple of evenings,since the course probably only meets two times a week.,M:I wish I could.My boss just did me a favor by putting me on evening,and hell hit the ceiling if I ask to change again.,W:Wait a minute!I have an idea.Have you checked the courses over at the community college?They might offer introductory poetry course during the day.,M:Hey!Thats a great idea.Im free this afternoon.I think Ill go over and check it out.,W:Yeah,their courses are actually cheaper and you can transfer the credits over here.,M:Thanks for the advice.Ill let you know what happens.,W:Sure,Mark!Good luck!Oh,while you are there,can you find out when their pool is open?,M:No problem!,Questions 4 to 5 are based on the conversation you have just heard.,4.What prevents the man from taking the poets of the 1960s class?,5.What problem does the man have with the introduction to poetry class?,4.B 5.A,Part 2 Reading,Lead-in,Discuss the following questions in groups.,In this part,students can express their ideas freely.,返校节,1.临近橄榄球赛季结束，学校通常都会举行庆祝活动，称之为“返校节。活动一般都会持续一周，包括各种各样有意思的活动，比方：盛装日、游行、返校舞会，当然还有盛大的橄榄球赛。通常往届的学生会返校观看比赛，“返校节即因此得名。,2.返校节通常和精神周同期举行。期间老师和学生们可以穿上任何有意思的服装来学校，来映衬当日的主题。一次我们命名为“颠倒日，这天学生可以反穿衣服。还有一次举行了“模仿名人日，学校到处都是Lady Gaga和哈里波特以及其他名人。最让我开心的事看到自然课老师扮成艾尔伯特爱因斯坦。,3.还会有学生参与竞选返校节国王和王后的竞选。由学生们推选出12个男生和12个女生参与竞选。推选出的对象通常为热心学校活动的人，成绩优异，女孩通常很漂亮而男孩那么要英俊。,4.我一年级的时候，发生了一件感人的事。一个名叫艾瑞卡的女孩想成为返校节王后，但不知道该怎么做。是这样的，她得了唐氏综合症，是由基因突变引起，导致心智和身体发育缓慢，还会影响到语言表达。但是同学们很支持的她想成为返校节往后的想法，不但提名了她，还帮助她竞选。,5.他们称她为“一缕阳光觉得她总是感染着大家，因为她总是乐观面对一切。每当被问到今天好吗，她总会说：“棒极了！她那年最终中选了返校节王后。看到这些女孩放弃这样一项荣誉为去帮助一位同学，真的令人感动。,6.,返校节王后和国王获得者会在那一周星期五，也是橄榄球赛半场休息时间。也是庆祝活动的尾声，往届的同学可以返回学校观看。军乐队也会在半场休息时间表演。比赛结束后就是返校节舞会，同学们可以聚到一起狂欢。有时舞会甚至会持续到深夜。,7.返校节挥动通常在上课时间进行。学校缩短了上课时间为了全校都能参与其中。拿我们学校为例，通常会在周四下午举行发动大会或集会。是为了让学生们为即将到来的比赛提前进入状态。拉拉队员们会做全套的表演，乐队会演奏一些鼓励的曲目，校长会说一些表扬橄榄球队队员的话。,8.,周五下午，下午通常不上课，为了让大家参加返校节游行。还会有拉拉队和乐队的表演，球队成员会坐在卡车上。之后，各社团会在学校设置摊位，学生们可以做任何想做的事。,Tasks,：,.Complete
