By the early 1900, vaudeville theater had sprang up in all large cities, in the large theater, there were usually two performances a day ,some theater would come to be four performances a day , but with the introduction of silent films ,live performance had to compete with movie theaters, and vaudeville attendance started to decline ,some vaudeville theater started to show some movies as well, movies were showing between vaudeville act, that kept people for coming to vaudeville for a while, but when talking films arrived ,vaudeville faced even stiffer competition ,and then with the great depression in the 1930s when the Americans has less income to spend on entainment and the growth of radio and around television programme,vaudeville experienced a further decline, pretty disappeared entirely by the end of the second world war2.We have been discussing some factors that influence the globe climate today we are going to a factor that you might find it surprising ,surprising because it is so small that you probable wouldnt expect it to be important . that factor is dust ,by dust ,we dont mean only tiny pieces of dirt, but any small particles, bacterium, or fungus box. There are several methods to collect data on dust, one method is flying in the storm with alit craft equipped with dust collection devises ,we can then analyze the dust samples to find out what types of dust are present at a given time of year and at certain location and height in the atmosphere,well,why would you want to map out how the types and amount of dust varies under certain different circumstances, because different types of dust behave differently and affect the weather in different way. Some types of dust help rain droplet to form,however,other types of dust prevent rain., although some effects of dust on the climax now are understood ,there is some debate on the overall effect of dust on temperature ,for example, you know, the dust can cool our planet by blocking sunlight from reaching the ground ,on the other hand ,it can absorb sunlight ,warming the atmosphere ,this warming effect may have caused the ice age to end . hopefully ,more research will answer the question of just how dust affects the temperature3.now many people living near the Mediterranean sea in ancient time had extensive shipping network ,two of the prominent are the Minoan and the Mycenaean .the Minoan lived on the island of kuit,they did extensive trade by sea trading farm products and highly priced bronze objects they made ,things like weapons and tools, they established a trading network or trading colonies through the east of Mediterranean ,and these became great commercial centers ,these commercial centers produced real wealth ,and the Minoans used these wealth to build palace and acre duct. The Minoan civilization reached its peak in the sixteen century B.C. but they gradually lost its dominance to the Mycenaean who were from the -land ,well north of the Crete, the Mycenaean actually learned a lot about sea trade from the Minoan ,but this mentor relationship changed after a volcano erupted on the island of - in 415B.C,that devastated Minoan ships and destroyed important part of Crete. After that, the Mycenaean become the dominant sea trader of this area,well,we know that natural disaster might have been largely responsible for the decline of the Minoan sea trade,but reasons for the decline of the Mycenaean sea trade are more controversial ,the key factor may have been the political unrest both internally among the Mycenaean and in countries they traded with ,which disrupted trade works.05年 5月 托福听力文字Part A1.

Class doesnt start for a ten more minutes, so I put up the novel Im reading.W: What is it?M: It is called Sister Carrie. It is about a woman named Carrie who leaves her country home to earn a living in Chicago and New York.W: Oh, Ive studied Theodore Dreiser（美国小说家). His work is a little depressing, but I like him, even though his characters always get in trouble. He tricks them with sympathy. How do you like Sister Carrie? M: Its not what I expected. On the back cover it says the book created a lot of controversy when it was first published in 1900. It even says the publisher withdrew out from market after only 500 copies were sold. But I dont see why.W: Well. The novel might not be shocking by our standards but it sure created a stir then. Think about what Carrie does. She leaves her country home and gets caught up in some personal scandals in the city. Now most other authors of that time would have punished the character to provide a moral lesson, but Dreiser has Carrie become a successful actress at the end.M: Wow, that puts the story in a different perspective. I bet Dreiser must have been discouraged when the publisher took it off from market. W: He sure was. He stopped writing
