Dear Johnson,
   In your last e-mail, you mentioned your interest in the “Tiangong Classroom.” Now I am writing to tell you the details of the “Tiangong Classroom” and my feelings.
   The “Tiangong Classroom” was conducted by taikonaut on the space station for teenagers across the country. The “Tiangong Classroom” has been broadcast to the third lesson, which is very popular with students. In the “Tiangong Classroom”, we watched many scientific experiments that were demonstrated in zero-gravity conditions. After watching the “Tiangong Classroom”, students’ interest in science learning was strengthened, and they had a sense of pride as a Chinese student.
   Looking forward to your reply.
                                                                                                                                                      Yours sincerely,

Discover World Heritage (遗产)
Heritage is treasure from the past — what we live with today and what we pass on to future generations. To preserve it, UNESCO safeguards hundreds of natural and cultural World Heritage sites around the world.
Here are 5 World Heritage sites:

Founded, according to legend, by Romulus and Remus in 753 BC, Rome was first the centre of the Roman Republic, then of the Roman Empire, and it became the capital of the Christian world in the 4th century.

Founded in 3,000 B．C．, Damascus is one of the oldest cities in the Middle East. In the Middle Ages, it was the centre of a splendid craft industry, specializing in swords. The city has some 125 monuments from different periods of its history.

Havana was founded in 1519 by the Spanish. By the 17th century, it had become one of the Caribbean’s main centres for ship-building. Although it is today a modern city, its old centre remains an interesting mix of Baroque and neoclassical (新古典主义的) monuments.

Ping Yao, founded in the 14th century, shows the evolution of architectural styles and town planning in Imperial China over five centuries. Of special interest are the splendid buildings associated with banking, for which Ping Yao was the major centre for the whole of China in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Rainforests of the Atsinanana are extremely important for keeping ongoing ecological processes necessary for the survival of Madagascar’s unique biodiversity (生物多样性), which reflects the island’s geological history. Having completed its separation from all other land masses more than 60 million years ago, Madagascar’s plant and animal life evolved in isolation (孤立).

36．According to the passage, Rome was ______ .

B
A recent study found that experiencing or even just anticipating uplifting events in daily life was related to feeling less depressed that same day. The study, conducted by Professor Lisa Starr at University of Rochester, found that a decrease in depression was especially marked when the experience included interpersonal uplifts, such as participating in fun activities with friends or family.
A number of laboratory-based studies suggest that the mood of people with depression is relatively unresponsive to positive stimuli(刺激物). In other words, when people with depression experience a positive event in the laboratory—like receiving a financial reward—their mood is unlikely to improve markedly. The issue here is that laboratory research doesn’t always translate to real-life settings.
The Rochester study is one of a growing number of studies examining how real life events with direct relevance to study participants affect their mood. The authors wanted to know if people with different levels of depression felt better when good things happened to them. The answer is simple—yes. The same is true for the expectation of good things to come.
The study included 157 young adults of whom two-thirds had mild, moderate, or severe depressive symptoms. The remaining third had no symptoms, allowing the authors to examine whether the level of depressive symptoms changes the way people respond to positive experiences. The study subjects completed a two-week online diary, tracking their mood as it related to recent and anticipated positive events in their lives—like time spent with friends, or exercising.
Those who reported higher levels of depressive symptoms at the beginning of the study, showed stronger associations between daily uplifts and lower daily depressive symptoms, particularly when the uplifts were interpersonal in nature.
“The findings have really important implications for treatment and are compatible with a treatment model called Behavioral Activation, which suggests that if you can help depressed people to engage in positive experiences—despite their low motivation to do so—their mood may improve,” says Starr. In other words: If you’re feeling seriously blue, make an effort to do something fun with friends.
41．What did the new study find?
A．Sociable people are less likely to experience depression.
B．People with depression are good at predicting the future.
C．Every one of us experiences depression from time to time.
D．Positive social activities can reduce people’s depressive mood.
42．What can we learn about the positive stimuli of the Rochester study?

【答案】41．D    42．D    43．A    44．C    45．B
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。最近的一项研究发现，在日常生活中经历或仅仅是预测令人振奋的事件，可以让你在当天感觉不那么抑郁。本文介绍了实验的研究过程和实验发现。
41．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A recent study found that experiencing or even just anticipating uplifting events in daily life was related to feeling less depressed that same day.”（最近的一项研究发现，在日常生活中经历或仅仅是预测令人振奋的事件，可以让你在当天感觉不那么抑郁。）可知，新的研究发现，积极的社交活动可以减轻人们的抑郁情绪。故选D项。
42．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“A number of laboratory-based studies suggest that the mood of people with depression is relatively unresponsive to positive stimuli.”（许多基于实验室的研究表明，抑郁症患者的情绪对积极刺激相对没有反应。）及下一段“The Rochester study is one of a growing number of studies examining how real life events with direct relevance to study participants affect their mood.”（罗彻斯特的研究是越来越多的研究之一，这些研究旨在研究与参与者直接相关的真实生活事件如何影响他们的情绪。）可推知，在Rochester的研究中，积极刺激与现实生活中的事件有关。故选D项。
43．主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“The study included 157 young adults of whom two-thirds had mild, moderate, or severe depressive symptoms. The remaining third had no symptoms, allowing the authors to examine whether the level of depressive symptoms changes the way people respond to positive experiences. The study subjects completed a two-week online diary, tracking their mood as it related to recent and anticipated positive events in their lives—like time spent with friends, or exercising.”（这项研究包括157名年轻人，其中三分之二有轻度、中度或严重的抑郁症状。剩下的三分之一没有症状，这让作者可以研究抑郁症状的程度是否会改变人们对积极体验的反应方式。研究对象完成了为期两周的在线日记，记录他们与生活中近期或预期的积极事件（如与朋友相处或锻炼）相关的情绪。）可知，第四段解释了研究是如何进行的。故选A项。
44．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Those who reported higher levels of depressive symptoms at the beginning of the study, showed stronger associations between daily uplifts and lower daily depressive symptoms, particularly when the uplifts were interpersonal in nature.”（那些在研究之初就报告了较高程度的抑郁症状的人，表现出了日常情绪高涨和较低的日常抑郁症状之间更强的联系，尤其是当这种情绪高涨在本质上是人际关系时。）可知，有严重抑郁症状的人的情绪对日常的情绪高涨最敏感。故选C项。
45．词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段“The findings have really important implications for treatment”（这些发现对治疗有非常重要的意义）及“a treatment model called Behavioral Activation, which suggests that if you can help depressed people to engage in positive experiences—despite their low motivation to do so—their mood may improve”（一种被称为行为激活的治疗模式，它表明，如果你能帮助抑郁症患者参与积极的体验——尽管他们动机不高——他们的情绪可能会改善）可知，这些发现对治疗有非常重要的意义，并且与一种叫做行为激活的治疗模型是一致的，consistent与compatible意义相近，表示“一致的”。故选B项。
C

For Mao Zhongwu, who was paralyzed (瘫痪) from the waist down in an accidental fall 16 years ago, sports have opened up a new world. The 37-year-old cross-country “sit-skier” collected one gold and two silver medals at the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games — in men’s middle-distance, men’s sprint (短距离) and men’s long distance, respectively. “It was sports that made me come out of the lowest point in my life and changed me physically, mentally and spiritually,” Mao said.
Born and raised in Dalian, Liaoning province, Mao has been fond of sports since childhood. The accident changed everything. Paralysis ended his functional independence. He had to live under his mother’s care. For a long time, he felt ashamed and was unwilling to go out. In 2017, persuaded by his mother, he started to learn table tennis. Ten days later, he took part in a citywide competition and performed well.
Fan Yi, a coach from the sports department of Dalian’s service center for the disabled, picked Mao and brought him to the wheelchair racing team. Fan recalled that in the beginning Mao didn’t dare to talk with other people. But he gradually became cheerful and confident in training. Three years ago, Mao shifted to train for cross-country skiing. “As an older athlete, he recovers slowly. He persevered through willpower,” Fan said.
Mao said that when he decided to be a professional athlete, he told himself there was no turning back. “I have experienced the bitterness of life, and I know this is a rare opportunity that I must seize,” he said. Everyone’s body has its limits. When he was suffering through the period of tiredness caused by overtraining, he thought he was too old to compete in the Olympics. “But I never gave up. With the support of my team, I stepped toward my goals one by one,” he said. “Although I’m not young now, I will keep training and eye on more gold medals as long as I can.”
46．What can be inferred about Mao Zhongwu from the passage?
A．He was paralyzed at the age of 16.
B．He won the gold medal in men’s sprint.
C．He was grateful for the accident.
D．He found new life in sports after the accident.
47．Why did Mao Zhongwu resist going out according to Paragraph 2?
A．Because he felt embarrassed by his disability.
B．Because he preferred doing sports indoors.
C．Because he couldn’t go out without any assistance.
D．Because he suffered from depression and anxiety.
48．According to Fan Yi, the biggest challenge for Mao Zhongwu was _________.
A．his age
B．his poor mental state
C．the lack of confidence
D．the bitterness of his life
49．Which of the following can best describe Mao Zhongwu?
A．Adventurous and creative.
B．Passionate and sympathetic.
C．Determined and persistent.
D．Intelligent and communicative.
50．What does the author mainly want to tell us in the passage?
A．All good things come to an end.
B．Every man is the master of his fate.
C．One shouldn’t miss forest for the trees.
D．One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.
【答案】46．D    47．A    48．A    49．C    50．B

First the robots came for our jobs. Now they’re coming for our hobbies. Google’s DeepMind AI lab has been busy the past few years, creating programs to take on human players across a variety of games. In 2016 its AlphaGo beat the best Go player in the world. Earlier this year, its Alpha Star defeated two middle-tier players at the popular online game StarCraft II. Now it’s learning to win at multiplayer games.
“Artificially intelligent agents are getting better and better at two-player games, but most real-world endeavors require teamwork,” DeepMind’s researchers wrote in a paper published in Science in June.
To be sure, computers have been proving their dominance (优越) over humans in one-on-one turn-based games such as chess ever since IBM’s Deep Blue beat Russian chess master Garry Kasparov in 1997.
However, successfully using teamwork to win in multiplayer games with complex environments was difficult to achieve.
For this purpose, DeepMind’s researchers designed AI agents that taught themselves how to play first-person game Quake III Arena. The team, led by Max Jaderberg, worked on a modified (修改的) version of Quake III Arena.
The game mode they chose was “Capture (抢) the Flag”. All the players must work together to steal the other team’s flag while safeguarding their own.
The AI agents “trained” with 12 hours of game data, then matched up against professional game testers. The AI won 75 percent of the time, even when its reaction time artificially slowed down to human levels and when their aiming ability was similarly reduced.
And in order to make improvements, the programmers used various kinds of “rewards” to help the AI players weigh their goals and actions to help them cooperate in the teamwork. They also used randomized maps for each new match.
“That meant the solutions that the agents find have to be general –– they cannot just memorize a sequence (系列) of actions,” said co-author Wojciech Czarnecki.
The only time humans were able to beat the AI agents was when they teamed up together. A team consisting of one human and one AI agent had a five percent greater win probability than a team of just AI agents.
Ethan Gach said at the video game news website Kotaku, “It suggests that the AI program is able to adapt to playing with non-AI teammates.” In the near future, AI may cooperate with human beings in some other fields, such as medicine and other branches of science.
51．What might be the most difficult task for AI agents in multiplayer games?
A．Understanding the rules.
B．Cooperating with other players.
C．Memorizing complex actions.
D．Increasing reaction speed.
52．How did the researchers of Google’s DeepMind train AI agents?
A．They gave various “punishments” when AI agents lost the games.
B．They made AI agents team up with non-professional human players.
C．They limited the time for AI agents to complete difficult tasks.
D．They put them through thousands of games with different situations.
53．What does Gach mean in the last paragraph?
A．AI players perform better than humans in a team game.
B．AI programs should be offered more game data.
C．AI players are able to do well with human players.
D．AI programs have been successfully applied in the field of medicine.
54．The underlined word “randomized” in Paragraph 8 can be understood as________.
A．generalized B．specialized C．updated D．memorized
55．What’s the best title of this passage?
A．Researches on DeepMind AI B．Training AI Agents
C．Teaming up with AI D．AI Competing with Human Beings
【答案】51．B    52．D    53．C    54．A    55．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人工智能在团队合作上的发展，人工智能可以通过训练与人类在不同的领域进行团队合作。
51．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“However, successfully using teamwork to win in multiplayer games with complex environments was difficult to achieve.(然而，在复杂环境的多人游戏中成功利用团队合作获胜是很困难的。)”可知，很难实现使现需要团队合作来赢得环境复杂的多人游戏，也就是说团队合作可能是很困难的任务。故选B项。
52．细节理解题。根据第七段中的“The AI agents “trained” with 12 hours of game data, then matched up against professional game testers.(AI代理使用12小时的游戏数据 进行“训练”，然后与专业游戏测试人员进行匹配。)”以及第八段中的“And in order to make improvements, the programmers used various kinds of “rewards” to help the AI players weigh their goals and actions to help them cooperate in the teamwork.(而为了做出改进，程序员们用各种“奖励”来帮助AI玩家权衡他们的目标和行动，帮助他们在团队合作中合作。)”可知，研究者利用12小时的游戏数据以及与专业游戏玩家对抗来训练人工智能，甚至通过各种奖励手段来帮助玩家权衡目标和行动来实现团队合作，由此可知，研究者通过将人工智能置于各种不同的情况下进行训练。故选D项。
53．推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Ethan Gach said at the video game news website Kotaku,“It suggests that the AI program is able to adapt to playing with non-AI teammates.”(Ethan Gach在视频游戏新闻网站Kotaku上说，“这表明AI程序能够适应与非AI队友一起玩。”)”可知，Ethan Gach认为人工智能能够适应与非人工智能团队合作，即可以与人类团队合作，所以他认为人工智能在与人类玩家合作中表现很好。故选C项。
54．词句猜测题。根据倒数第四段中的“And in order to make improvements, the programmers used various kinds of “rewards” to help the AI players weigh their goals and actions to help them cooperate in the teamwork.(而为了做出改进，程序员们用各种“奖励”来帮助AI玩家权衡他们的目标和行动，帮助他们在团队合作中合作。)”可知，为了训练人工智能的团队合作能力，程序设计师利用各种方式去帮助实现团队合作，结合划线单词所在的句子“They also used…maps for each new match.(他们为每一款新游戏使用……地形图。)”可知，他们也使用新比赛的各种地形图来训练人工智能的团队合作，再根据第四段“However, successfully using teamwork to win in multiplayer games with complex environments was difficult to achieve.(然而，在复杂环境的多人游戏中成功利用团队合作获胜是很困难的。)”可知，多玩家游戏相对来说环境是很复杂的，所以在训练过程中的地图也不应该是固定的，而是随机的，由此可猜测该单词的意思是“随机化的”，generalized的意思是“广泛的”，词义最为接近。故选A项。
55．主旨大意题。根据第二段““Artificially intelligent agents are getting better and better at two-player games, but most real-world endeavors require teamwork,” DeepMind’s researchers wrote in a paper published in Science in June.(“人工智能代理在双人游戏中越来越好，但大多数现实世界的努力都需要团队合作，”DeepMind的研究人员在六月发表在《科学》杂志上的一篇论文中写道。)”可知，人工智能在双人游戏对战中表现越来越好，但是大多数的现实世界中需要的是团队合作，由此引出下文的介绍，研究者通过训练来培养人工智能的团队合作能力，结合尾段“In the near future, AI may cooperate with human beings in some other fields, such as medicine and other branches of science.(在不久的将来，人工智能可能会在其他一些领域与人类合作，例如医学和其他科学分支。)”可知，在未来，人工智能能在某些领域与人类合作，所以该文主要介绍的是人工智能的团队合作。故选C项。

第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
When I was eight or nine years old, I wrote my first poem. My mother read the little poem and began to cry. “Buddy, you didn’t really write this beautiful, beautiful poem!”
Shyly, proud-bursting, I stammered that I had. She poured out her praise. Why, this poem was nothing short of genius! I glowed.
I spent the best part of that afternoon preparing for the arrival of my father. But he did not return until an hour late for dinner. “Ben, a beautiful thing has happened,” my mother began. “Buddy has written his first poem! And it’s beautiful, absolutely amazing.”
“If you don’t mind, I’d like to decide that for myself,” Father said.
That poem was only ten lines. But it seemed to take hours. I could hear my father breathing. “I think it’s lousy,” my father said.
“Ben, these are the first lines of poetry he’s ever written,” my mother was saying. “He needs encouragement.”
They quarreled over it. I couldn’t stand it another second. I ran from the dinning room bawling.
Up in my room I threw myself on the bed and sobbed.
A few years later I took a second look at that first poem; it was a pretty lousy poem. But it wasn’t until years later that the true meaning of that painful “first poem” experience dawned on me. As I became a professional writer, it became clearer and clearer to me how fortunate I had been. I had a mother who said, “Buddy, did you really write this? I think it’s wonderful!” and a father who shook his head no and drove me to tears with “I think it’s lousy.” A writer — in fact every one of us in life — needs that loving-mother force from which all creation flows; and yet alone it is incomplete, even misleading, finally destructive, without the father force to caution, “Watch. Listen. Review. Improve.”
56．How do you understand the underlined part in Paragraph 2?(no more than 8 words )
_________________________________________________________________
57．Why did the writer’s parents quarrel at dinner?(no more than 10 words )
_________________________________________________________________
58．What did the writer think of his first poem when he grew older?(no more than 8 words )
_________________________________________________________________
59．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?(no more than 15 words )
_________________________________________________________________
60．What kind of parents do you need in life?(no more than 20 words )
_________________________________________________________________

【答案】56．This poem was well-done./This poem was the same work of genius./This poem was almost wonderful/excellent.    
57．Because they had different attitude towards the poem./Because they had different opinions about the poem.    
58．It was lousy./It was very bad./It was a pretty lousy poem.   
59．Everyone needs a loving mother and a strict father.    
60．I need a mother who can encourage me and a father who can caution me. /I need parents who both love me./I need parents who always encourage me.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍的是作者父母对作者在七八岁时写的第一首诗歌的不同评价让作者认识到一个作家的成长既需要母亲的鼓励，也需要父亲的鞭策。
56．考查词句猜测。根据第一段中的“My mother read the little poem and began to cry. ‘Buddy, you didn’t really write this beautiful, beautiful poem!’(母亲读了这首小诗，哭了起来。“伙计，你不会真的写了这首非常非常漂亮的诗吧!”)”可知，母亲表扬作者的诗歌写的很好，第二段中的“Shyly, proud-bursting, I stammered that I had. She poured out her praise.( 我羞涩地，骄傲地，结结巴巴地说是我。她倾吐她的赞美之词。)”可知，作者听到母亲对诗歌的赞美之词感到非常的高兴，由此可推断，划线句子的意思是对作者诗歌的赞美。故答案为This poem was well-done./This poem was the same work of genius./This poem was almost wonderful/excellent.。
57．考查推理判断。根据第五段中的“That poem was only ten lines. But it seemed to take hours. I could hear my father breathing. ‘I think it’s lousy,’ my father said.( 那首诗只有十行。但这似乎要花好几个小时。我能听到父亲的呼吸声。“我觉得很糟糕，”父亲说。)”可知，父亲对作者写的诗歌并不满意，结合第三段中的“‘Ben, a beautiful thing has happened,’ my mother began. ‘Buddy has written his first poem! And it’s beautiful, absolutely amazing.’(“本，一件美好的事情发生了，”我妈妈开始说。“巴迪写了他的第一首诗!它很美，绝对令人惊叹。”)”可知，母亲认为作者写的是个很精彩，由此可以推断，父母两人吵架是因为他们的观点不一致。故答案是Because they had different attitude towards the poem./Because they had different opinions about the poem.。
58．考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“A few years later I took a second look at that first poem; it was a pretty lousy poem.(几年后，我重新审视了那首诗；这是一首非常糟糕的诗。)”可知，几年后，作者在看到自己写的第一首诗歌后，感觉这首诗歌真的很糟糕。故答案是It was lousy./ It was very bad. /It was a pretty lousy poem.。
59．考查主旨大意。根据最后一段中的“A writer — in fact every one of us in life — needs that loving-mother force from which all creation flows; and yet alone it is incomplete, even misleading, finally destructive, without the father force to caution, “Watch. Listen. Review. Improve.”(一个作家——实际上是生活中的每一个人——都需要那种慈母般的力量，所有的创作都源自这种力量；然而，如果没有父亲的告诫，它是不完整的，甚至是误导的，最终是毁灭性的，“观察、倾听、审查、改善。”)”可知，作者认为生活中的每一个人只有一个爱自己的母亲是不完美的，还需要一个严厉的父亲才能让自己不断的进步，所以最后一段主要阐述的是人人都需要一位慈母和一位严父。故答案是Everyone needs a loving mother and a strict father.。
60．开放性题目。根据介绍的作者的写的第一首诗歌的经历以及最后一段中的“A writer—in fact every one of us in life—needs that loving-mother force from which all creation flows; and yet alone it is incomplete, even misleading, finally destructive, without the father force to caution, “Watch. Listen. Review. Improve.”(一个作家——实际上是生活中的每一个人——都需要那种慈母般的力量，所有的创作都源自这种力量；然而，如果没有父亲的告诫，它是不完整的，甚至是误导的，最终是毁灭性的，“观察、倾听、审查、改善。”)”可知，人们都需要一个鼓励自己，爱护自己的而母亲，也需要一位客观公正的父亲，所以在生活中，我需要的也是一位如同作者一样的父母，即我需要一位鼓励我的母亲和一位鞭策我的父亲。故答案是I need a mother who can encourage me and a father who can caution me. /I need parents who both love me. /I need parents who always encourage me.。

W: Tens of thousands of Africans are studying in China.
M: Oh, yes?
W: The country provides students with financial assistance for education to develop skills that Africa needs most.
M: Wish them to use their knowledge to serve their countries in the future.

W: Are you working flexible hours?
M: No, I’m not. The weather today is so nice, so I decided to walk to work, and that meant I had to leave an hour earlier than usual.

W: Hey, do you think technological development may threaten your job, especially the driverless cars reported recently?
M: Well, driverless cars may be safer, but it will take away the fun of driving.

M: The shuttle bus is running behind schedule. Maybe we won’t make the 7:30 show.
W: Okay. Let’s try to get there on foot. And if we don’t make it, we’ll just have dinner near the theatre.

W: Have you decided where you want to go for vacation?
M: I want to go to Japan and China for our vacation. Two weeks in China and one week in Japan.
W: That’s a great idea, but do you have enough paid time off for that period of time?
M: Of course, I do. Even if I didn’t, I’d take a few days’ leave without pay.
W: OK. Then, what’s your schedule?
M: We start in Beijing and then go along the coast to Qingdao, Shanghai, Xiamen and end in Hong Kong. After spending a couple of days there, we will then go to Japan. We’d start in Hiroshima and end up in Tokyo or maybe Hokkaido.
W: Wow, it sounds you will enjoy a meaningful and wonderful holiday.

M: Well, I started learning Chinese a long time ago. First I learned a little bit when I was in college. But I probably picked up most of it when I was overseas in Beijing.
W: Did you meet any difficulties in your learning?
M: Yes, a lot. Grammar and vocabulary are not easy for foreigners like me. But two of the most challenging things when you study Chinese are the tones and the characters. Writing Chinese characters is like drawing pictures. As a Chinese character with square structure, its “form”, “sound” and “meaning” form a close combination, but the relationship between the three is relatively complex. I think that’s just extremely difficult. And it was frustrating to be teaching...teaching kindergarten students and realizing that their reading was much better than mine.
W: Of course they were. They have been exposed to Chinese for so many years.

W: Hey, John. Can I talk to you for a minute?
M: Sure, what’s up?
W: I wanted to let you know about a book club I joined a few months ago. I know you do a lot of reading, so I thought you might want to come with me next month.
M: Oh, that sounds like fun. When does the group meet?
W: Usually the last Saturday of the month at 7:30 in the evening. Is that too late for you?
M: No, I think that’s okay. What do you talk about in the group?
W: Well, every month we choose a new book. And then during the next meeting, we discuss it.
M: What books have you read?
W: Quite a lot. Recently we have read The Beautiful Mind, Paper Towns and The Great Gatsby. Now we are reading The Kite Runner.
M: The Kite Runner? I’ve heard that’s a good book. What is it about?
W: It’s a story about a boy who grows up in Afghanistan during the 1980s and struggles to find his place in the world because of the results of a series of extremely unpleasant childhood events.
M: That sounds interesting. I’d love to come.
W: Great! The next meeting will be held in two weeks, so you still have time to read the book.
M: OK.

W: Good evening! Welcome back to Fresh Air on National Public Radio. Our program brings you news about important topics and art forms around the world. I’m your host Terry Gross. With me tonight is Mr. Gavin MacGregor. Mr. MacGregor, will you tell us a little about what you do?
M: Sure, Terry. I work for National Geographic magazine. My job takes me all over the world.
W: Are you a photographer or a writer?
M: Actually, I used to be a photographer. But for the past five years, I’ve worked on a special project called NOVICA. We help people sell their handwork products. My role is to find people who make unique and well-made items. Right now, we have 4000 artists working with us.
W: And how does National Geographic help them?
M: Through the NOVICA program, artists can sell their handwork products directly to other people throughout the world on our website. This way, they can get a fair price and reach a bigger market. Production is usually done in the artists’ own homes.
W: That sounds amazing! What kind of handwork products are available, Mr. MacGregor?
M: Well, for example… I just got back from a trip to Peru. I was able to convince a young mother who makes beautiful clothing to try out our program. And in three days, I’m off to Fiji to talk to a man who makes silver jewelry with traditional designs. The program is intended to preserve cultural traditions and help people make a better living with their art.

W: Good morning. I’m very pleased to have this opportunity to say a little about an exciting new development in the city: the Brackenside Open-Air Swimming Pool. As many of the older members of the audience will remember, there used to be a wonderful open-air pool on the sea front 30 years ago but it had to close when it was judged to be unsafe. For the design of this new heated pool, we were very happy to secure the talents of internationally famous architect Ellen Wendon, who has managed to combine a charming 1930s design, which fits in so well with many of the other buildings in the area, with up-to-the-minute features such as a recycling system.
Now, there has been quite a bit of discussion in the local press about whether there would be enough room for the number of visitors we’re hoping to attract. We’re on schedule for a June 15th opening date and well within budget. We hope that as many people as possible will be there on June 15th. We have engaged award-winning actress Coral White to declare the pool open and there’ll be drinks and snacks available at the pool side. There’ll also be a competition for the public to decide on the sculpture we plan to have at the entrance: you will decide which famous historical figure from the city we should have.
