The day after I began to diet, I got sick. I stayed in the hospital for the last two weeks and lost five kilos. Text 2 M: Hi. I need to check out this book. W: Sure. May I have your card? M: Okay. W: Sorry, I՚m afraid you have to return one of the five books you՚ve already borrowed before you check this one out. Text 3 M: What time is it, Mary? We՚ve waited here for about ten minutes. W: It՚s 7:40 now. M: Oh, our bus is late today. W: Yes, it should have arrived five minutes ago. Text 4 W: Bob, turn off the TV. It՚s time for bed. M: Most of my classmates say they go to bed after nine o՚clock. W: Never mind what time your friends go to bed. I say your bedtime is half past eight. And it՚s 8:20 now. Text 5 W: Hi Jim. Did you have a nice weekend? M: Yes, Kate. It was great. I went camping with my friends in the Catskills. W: Really? How was the weather there? M: It was very nice. Text 6 W: fHow long have you been having the pain? M: I first felt it in November last year. W: Well, you should have come in earlier. Have you changed your eating habits in any way? M: No, not really. W: Is there a certain type of food that would cause stronger pain than other types? M: Hmm. Heavy foods like steak or cheese usually bring it on. W: I see. fWhat about if I touch here, does it hurt? M: Ouch! It does hurt. What do you think it is? W: I՚m not sure. gWe need to take an X-ray to see if anything is wrong. M: Okay. Text 7 W: Hi Peter. Have you been in London long? M: Hi Maggie. hI got here last Friday. It՚s about a week now. W: I just arrived. What՚s the hotel like? M: iIt՚s okay. Not perfect, but for this price, not bad. W: Why? What՚s the matter with it? M: Well, the heating doesn՚t always work. And it was freezing in here yesterday. Breakfast is very early in the morning. Today I overslept and missed it completely. W: You overslept? Why was that? M: Well, there՚s a man with a boy staying next door. They՚ve been here for three days now, and the boy is 2020 年 9 月全国英语等级考试第二级（PETS–2） on shelves, dresses hung on the door. I like my room clean and tidy. I’ve put away most of my childhood things, but I’ve kept some. It’s very important for me to have my own space. If I’m away at school, I usually leave the door open. But if it is shut, I’d like my parents to knock. 96 really noisy. I didn՚t get any sleep. W: Oh no. Well, I don՚t know what we can do about the breakfast or other guests. jBut why don՚t you ask the hotel to look at the heating? M: Hmm. jGood idea. I՚ll talk to them about it right now.

But now, research suggests that false happiness may just make things worse. M: Really? Tell me more about it. W: lResearchers took pictures of bus drivers and then looked into the expressions on their faces. M: They did? What happened then? W: mAfter following the drivers closely, researchers found that the drivers had to force a smile at work. They felt so bad that they wanted to give up their jobs. M: I never imagined it could be so serious. Why is that? W: mThe report says when people try to hold back bad feelings, it turns out that the feelings become even stronger and last longer.

W: What plans do you have for the future? M: Now that we have completed a textbook and its new CD program, we plan to develop more textbooks for other markets. People sometimes say to me, “You work too hard.” oThe truth is I enjoy what I do, and I don՚t consider it to be work. W: What do you like to do that՚s not education related? M: I like playing the piano. qI՚m fortunate to have been born with the ability to play the piano by ear. If I remember a music piece, I can play it. I՚m not sure how I do it, but I՚ve had that ability since the age of twelve. pI took music lessons from the age of six. I also write music. Although I՚m a language teacher, I can՚t write words to songs. I have to turn to others for the words. Actually, I have more confidence in my book-writing ability than my song- writing ability. Text 10 rOur listener question this week comes from Australia. Jeff Bailey has been listening to our program since 2004. And he wants to know more about coal-mining in the United States. The United States produces about half of its electric power from coal. sAmerica is the second-largest producer of coal after China. Coal is mined in half the states, but Wyoming mines the most, followed by West Virginia, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania. The United States gets about two-thirds of its coal from surface mining rather than underground mining. Surface mining is the name for the different methods that are used to remove coal that is less than sixty meters underground. The United States has about 87,000 coal miners. The jobs pay well, especially for the poor areas where mines are often found. tHowever, the jobs can also be dangerous. The government says more than 100,000 coal miners lost their lives in the past century. 106 2021 年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试 （全国乙卷） 1–5 ACCBB 6–10 ABACB 11–15 CACCA 16–20 BCABB 2021 年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试 （全国新高考Ⅰ卷） 1–5 CCBAC 6–10 ABABA 11–15 CBCAB 16–20 ACBCC 2021 年 1 月普通高等学校招生全国统一考试 （浙江卷） 1–5 CBABA 6–10 ACBAC 11–15 CBCAB 16–20 BCCBA 2021 年 3 月全国英语等级考试第二级 （PETS–2） 1–5 CBACB 6–10 ACCBC 11–15 AABCA 16–20 BACBA 2021 年 9 月全国英语等级考试第二级 （PETS–2） 1–5 BABAC 6–10 CABAC 11–15 BAACB 16–20 CCBCA 2020 年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试 （全国Ⅰ卷） 1–5 CBACA 6–10 BBCCB 11–15 ACCAB 16–20 ABCBA 2020 年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试 （全国Ⅱ卷） 1–5 BCCAB 6–10 ABACB 11–15 BCACA 16–20 CBAAC 2020 年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试 （新高考山东卷） 1–5 ABCAB 6–10 CCACA 11–15 BCBAA 16–20 CBCAB 2020 年 7 月全国英语等级考试第二级 （PETS–2） 1–5 CAABA 6–10 CCCCC 11–15 BAACB 16–20 BBBAB 2020 年 9 月全国英语等级考试第二级 （PETS–2） 1–5 BABAC 6–10 ABCBC 11–15 ABCCA 16–20 BCACB 2019 年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试 （全国Ⅰ卷） 1–5 BABCA 6–10 CBACC 11–15 BACAB 16–20 ACBAC 2019 年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试 （全国Ⅱ卷） 1–5 BCBAC 6–10 CABAC 11–15 BACCB 16–20 ACABA 2019 年 3 月全国英语等级考试第二级 （PETS–2） 1–5 CBBAA 6–10 CBCBA 11–15 CABAC 16–20 BBAAC 2019 年 9 月全国英语等级考试第二级 （PETS–2） 1–5 BABCA 6–10 CCBAB 11–15 ABCAB 16–20 ACACB
