England is a narrow country and everywhere in England is quite near to the sea. There are many seaside towns for holidays. There are many farms in England， often with sheep， cows and pigs. Many English villages are very pretty and some people go to farms for holidays as well. Children like to see and feed the animals. Some crops are also grown there. Most of England is suitable for farming because there are not many mountains.

Most people live in the south of England where there are more jobs than in the north. And it is a little warmer in the south of England！ Many people travel a long way， by car or train， every day to work in London. In the central part of England， which is called the Midlands， and the north of England， there are more factories. Fifty years ago you would also have seen coal mines but they are closed now. Have you heard of any big English cities， like Manchester， Liverpool， Newcastle and Leeds？ They are all in the north of England and all have very good football teams！

M： Our town will become cleaner after the plant is built.

During the 1930s there was a popular song whose title was “Everything Stops for Tea” and to millions of British people a cup of tea is still an ideal way to relax for a few minutes from the tiredness of the day.

The English custom of drinking tea has its roots in the 17th and 18th centuries. When first imported into Britain， “cha” （as the Chinese tea was called） was considered to be mans drink enjoyed with friends at London coffee shops. These were popular meeting places for many walks of life—politicians， poets， actors and writers.

In 1706 Toms Coffee House owned by Tom Twining began to offer tea. He realized that he needed to introduce an added attraction to compete with the other coffee houses in London. He added tea to the menu and gained a great deal of success. As a result， many other London clubs began to do the same. Today tea-drinking has become an important part of peoples daily life in England.

M： But I thought that Lake Erie was so polluted that everything living in it had died.

W： Not exactly. And both America and Canada are taking some action to fight water pollution and there has been a great change. In fact， all the Great Lakes will be improved within the next generation.

M： Im glad to hear that.

This is Ned Weather， your weatherman. This afternoon heavy rain fell in our town. The big storm caused a lot of damage， and the traffic came to a complete stop.

Now lets look at the weather report for tomorrow and the weekend. Friday will be warm and sunny during the day and cool at night. Temperatures will be in the sixties during the day and in the forties at night. You wont need a heavy coat， but take a jacket to work just in case.

The weather on Saturday will be nice in the morning and cloudy in the afternoon. Itll probably rain at night. Showers are quite common during spring， but youll have clear weather to do some gardening on Saturday morning. Sunday will be cold and windy， and maybe itll snow in the mountains. If youre planning to go there， dont forget your boots and jackets. And now for sports， here is Mathew Delaney...

In your schoolbags， most of you may have a pencil， some kind of pens， a ruler and some books. None of these grow in the fields. They are all made in factories and invented by someone. Thousands of years ago no one knew these things.

Who invented them？ We dont always know. There have been many thousands of inventions， large or small， in history. Some of these inventions have changed the world， such as paper， printing and radio， and we know the inventors. But we have forgotten most of the other inventors. Who invented the clock， for example， or the lock on the door？ We dont know， because most of their inventions have become so familiar to us now.

W： So you just got rid of your southern accent？

M： Thats right. I wiped it out completely.

W： Thats really interesting. I guess thats why you sound like youre from New York.

In 1927， while Amelia was working in Boston， she was offered an opportunity to be the first woman to cross the Atlantic， not as a pilot， but as one of the crew members. The flight was arranged by publisher George Putnam， whom Amelia later married， in 1931. Then on May 21， 1932， Amelia became the first woman pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic. On August 24， 1932， she was the first woman pilot to complete a transcontinental flight， from New Jersey to California. And on January 11， 1935， she completed the first solo flight from Hawaii to North America. She also set records in flying times.

Hi！ I am Kate Black. I am a nurse. I work at the City Hospital. Some people ask how I feel about my job. I tell them， “Its hard， but I see my patients getting better and smiling， and that makes me happy.”

Next month I will go to Africa to help take care of some African people. I will be part of the team， and we will visit many small villages in southern Africa. We will take them clean water， food and medicine. In these villages they have no clean water or health care. It is very difficult for the children living there. Our project is very small， but I hope that it will make a big difference in their lives. I am writing this because we need money to help the African people. If you would like to help， please call 424-359-8847. All of the money you give will be used to help the African people.

A young couple was having dinner at an expensive restaurant. They saw a lady sitting alone， looking at them. They smiled politely， but were a little surprised when the old lady came over to their table. The old lady told the young woman that she looked like her daughter. She said it would make her happy if they said “Goodbye， Mom” when she left the restaurant. How could they refuse？ A few minutes later， the old lady stood up to leave. The young couple waved， as she had asked them， and said goodbye as the old lady walked out. When the young couple received their bill， they saw that it included the cost of the old ladys meal. They called the manager and asked him what happened. “The bill includes the charge for your mothers meal，” he explained. “She said you would pay.

Life as a lorry driver is not always easy， thats for sure， and it can be very dangerous. I practically live on the road. My lorry is like my home. I travel non-stop delivering goods countrywide. Sometimes I drive for 15 hours without getting any rest， not even during the night. My record is 20 hours of non-stop driving. For the past ten years Ive been driving across Europe and I have had my share of adventures and problems. You cant imagine the traffic sometimes. As if thats not enough. I also have to put up with drivers shouting at me as if its my fault. Anyway， I dont care what they say. The world needs us， lorry drivers. Without us there would be no food in the supermarkets， no petrol at the petrol stations... you name it， it just wouldnt be there.

W： I will. Thanks again. Bye， bye！

M： Bye！

A few years ago I was walking to pick up my seven-year-old son from school. We lived too far from the school， so I had to walk 6 blocks every afternoon.

One afternoon， it began to rain on our way home. My son and I were getting all wet. Just then a car passed by and stopped five meters or so ahead of us. The driver got out of the car and handed me an umbrella. Then before I could say “thanks”， he had got back into his car and drove off. This small but wonderful gesture has stayed with me ever since. Everywhere， every day， there are people who help others. They are not looking for public praise. They just do something nice on their own. This makes the world， though not perfect， better and better.

Ladies and gentlemen， it gives me great pleasure to have this opportunity to tell you something about American colleges today.

There are about seven million Americans in colleges and universities. Young people under twenty-five make up nearly half of the American population. Many of these will soon be in charge of the nation. Their ideas are welcomed by everyone in the country， and it is important for older generations to understand what they think and feel. College students today have strong opinions about what is right or wrong. They are deeply interested in making a better life for everyone， especially for those who have not been given a fair chance. They see much about what is wrong in the lives of their parents. It is hard for them to see what is right and good in American families. I think your country may be meeting with such problems， too.

M： Thats a pity.

W： Ill have many chances to go to France in the future， so I can travel around the country some other time.

M： I hope Ill get the chance to go， too.

Mr Grey was the manager of a small office in London. He lived in the country， and came to work by train. He liked walking from the station to his office because it gave him some exercise， unless it was raining.

One morning he was walking along the street when a stranger stopped him and said to him， “You may not remember me， sir， but several years ago I came to London without a penny in my pockets. I stopped you in this street and asked you to lend me some money. And you lent me five pounds， because you said you are going to take a chance and give a man a start on his way to success.”

Mr Grey thought for a few minutes and then said， “Yes， I remember you. Go on with your story.” “Well，” answered the stranger， “are you still willing to take a chance？”

Many years ago， I was traveling in the northwest of India. One evening， after hunting in the forest all day， I was returning alone to the place where I had put up my tent. It was growing dark and I was walking along a narrow path. On my right was a wide river. On my left， a thick dark forest. Suddenly， I saw two eyes looking at me from among the trees. A tiger was getting ready to jump on me. What could I do？ Should I jump into the river and hope to save my life by swimming？ I looked to the right. In the river there was a huge crocodile waiting to welcome me with its mouth wide open. I was so frightened that I closed my eyes. I heard the tiger as he jumped. I opened my eyes. What do you think had happened？ The tiger had jumped right over me and was now in the mouth of the crocodile. Can you believe that？

Today Im going to tell you something about table manners in different countries. I think you already know that people in different countries have different ways of doing things. Something that is rude in one country maybe quite polite in another. For example， in Britain you mustnt lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some liquid food. And in Japan you neednt worry about making noise when you drink it. It shows that you are enjoying it. But that is considered bad manners in Britain.

In Britain we try not to put our hands on the table at all during a meal. In Mexico， however， guests are expected to keep their hands on the table throughout a meal. But it is in the Arab countries that we really must be careful with our hands. You see， in Arab countries you mustnt eat with your left hand. This is considered to be very impolite. So， what should you do if you visit another country？ Well， you neednt worry. You can ask the native people there to help you or just watch carefully and try to do as they do， not as you do at home.
