听力原文： An advertisement says "Learn English in six weeks, or your money back". Of course, it never happens quite like that. As we know, no language is easy to learn except one's mother tongue. And think how much practice that gets. Before the Second World War people usually learned English in order to read English literature. Now most people want to speak English. Every year many millions of people start to learn English. How do they do it？

Some people try at home, with books and tapes, some use radio or television programmes, others go to school or attend evening classes. If they use English only two or three times a week, it will take a long time to learn it, like English learning at school. A few people try to learn English fast and study six or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn English in England, Canada, Australia or the United States. However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary. They need English in order to do their work better. For example, most scientists and engineers chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in English. Whether English is learnt quickly or slowly; it is hard work. Good teachers, books and machines will help, but they cannot do the student's work for him.

听力原文：M: Hi, Vivian. What are you doing here？

W: Hi, Steve. I'm having a bit of trouble finding some of the stuff I need.

M: What're you looking for？

W: Well, I'm just trying to find out something about the use of steel in building construction. Do you have any idea？

M: Frankly, I don't know much about this. What about the library？ There's a database on the computer, and most of the stuff you need is catalogued. You can find it somewhere.

W: Yes, but that's the easy part! Then you have to find the book you want on the shelves, and you often find that it's out already.

M: I know what you mean ! Then you have to line up to borrow it, if it's CTL.

W: CTL？ What's CTL？

M: It means "confined to library" : you know, it means you can't take it out. You have to read it in the library.

W: It seems easy, doesn't it？ But you have to reserve it, and then you may want to photocopy bits of it, or make notes--and there never seems to be enough time.

M: Hmm! In your shoes, I think I'd have a word with our tutor.

W: I think I'll do that! Thanks! See you later. Bye!

听力原文： The first English dictionary was published in 1604. The dictionary was a list of about 3,000 difficult words, each followed by a one-word definition. The author, Robert Cawdrey, did not include everyday words in his dictionary. He believed that no one would look up a word in a dictionary if he already knew the meaning of the word.

During the 1600s, more dictionaries were published. Each followed Cawdrey' s lead and presented a few thousand difficult words. Around 1,700, one dictionary maker, John Kersey, did define easy words as well as difficult ones. But until the1750s, ail dictionaries were not very valuable.

A man called Dr. Samuel Johnson changed all this. In 1755 Dr. Johnson produced the first modem dictionary. He included in his dictionary all important words, both easy and hard, and he gave good meanings. He also gave good example sentences in speech and writing. By the end of the 1700s most dictionary makers had followed Johnson' s lead. Dictionaries were getting better and better.

The 1800s saw the greatest improvement in the quality of dictionaries. In England scholars planned and prepared the Oxford English Dictionary, a twenty-volume work. One of the most interesting features of the Oxford Dictionary is its word histories. It traces the history of each word from its earliest recorded use up to the time of the printing of the dictionary.
