Do you think the air in Beijing is bad?
Yes, it's often quite dirty.
But don't you think it's better than it used to be?
Well,I can't say for sure.I've only lived here for a year.
Me too. But my uncle knows.
He's lived here all his life.
Oh, really!What does he say?
He says Beijing's sky is much clearer than a few years ago,
although people still complain a lot.
Hmm ... Did he tell you why it's better?
Yes, he said that fewer homes are using coal for cooking and heating.
Also,most of the factories that produced pollution
have been closed or moved out of the city.
That's true.And many more parks will appear before the 2008 Olympic Games.
Yes, and the city is planting more trees near the roads.
My uncle also told me that more public transportation is planned by the city.
That's really good.I think Beijing has too many cars and trucks.I agree.
If more people leave their cars at home when they go to work,that will help a lot.
Lesson 34 2 Read THE SKY OF LOS ANGELES
When most Americans mention Los Angeles,they think of lots of sun and fun.
They picture the place with palm trees,beaches,and Hollywood,
where so many famous movies have been made.
Los Angeles, or LA, is in south California.
It is the largest city in the state
and the second largest city in the United States.
Its western part lies by the Pacific Ocean.
To its east are the Santa Monica Mountains.
Los Angeles,meaning"city of angels"in Spanish,is only 200 kilometres from Mexico.
It is a city of immigrants,many of whose grandparents came from Mexico,
the Philippines,China,and Japan.
Millions of Americans from other states have also moved to LA.
You might imagine that LA must be a very beautiful city.
Although it often is,it also has days when the sky is not so clear.
On these days,you cannot see the mountains.
Some people stay inside so that they don't have to breathe the bad air.
A lot of work has been done to improve the air in the past thirty years,
though much still needs doing.
As early as 1953,natural gas was used instead of coal.
Later on,cars were made to drive with cleaner petrol.
Factories were told to control their smoke,and thousands of buses were provided.
Most importantly,
people realized that they must learn to care for their living environment.
During the 1970s,many people moved to LA from other places.
The city was growing very fast.
At that time,air pollution was a very serious problem.
Cars jammed the roads in the mornings and evenings.
It was called rush hour
because everyone was in a hurry to get to work or leave work.
The air was filled with smog coming from hundreds of factories
as well as the heavy traffic.
City planners knew they had to do something.
More public transportation was provided and cars were made to drive cleaner.
Nowadays the air in LA is usually quite good.
Lesson 35 2 Read and act
Hey,Bill,I'm tired of driving in heavy traffic every morning.
Me too.I'm also tired of looking for a place to park my car.
Well,I don't have that problem.
My company gives me a place,although I have to pay a lot of money for it.
My wife has the same problem.
Bill,what do you say if we try a car pool?
Why,that's a good idea.And we can get Steve to join us!

Lesson 30 2 Read Give a title for this story.
Americans have been celebrating Thanksgiving in one way or another since the 1600s
However,this holiday wasn't really celebrated in the modern way until the 1890s.
At that time,the leaders were searching for a holiday that could bring the people together
as one nation,especially new immigrants from abroad.Some leaders tried to change the truehistory of the first Thanksgiving
more than a little bit.They wrote about how the English settlers found friendship with theIndians
who they met in the new land called America.They said that the settlers and the Indians werelike brothers and sisters.
These leaders also described the first Thanksgiving meal
as one cooked by the settlers for their guests,the Indians.So it seemed that the settlers andthe Indians lived happily together.
Sadly,some of what Americans were told was really just a myth.Soon after the firstThanksgiving,
the Indians began to have problems with the settlers.Some of the settlers had strange diseasesthat killed many of the Indians.
The settlers,who had a strong belief in God,wanted to teach their religion to the Indians.
Most of the Indians,however,weren't interested in it. About twenty years after the first settlersarrived in New England,
fighting often broke out between the settlers and the Indians.The settlers took most of theland from the people they had once called their friends.
Many of the Indians who were still alive ran away.to live with French settlers in Canada.
Some were not so lucky.They were sold as slaves in the south of the country.
However,the story is not all sad.In fact,the first Thanksgiving was a time of celebration.
William Bradford,one of the leaders of the settlers,invited an Indian named Squanto and hisfamily to dinner.
These Indians had helped the settlers to become better farmers.The Indian leader,his family andmany others were also invited.
Everyone gave thanks for a successful harvest and ate a great feast for threedays,Today,Thanksgiving lasts only one day but American families still get together everyautumn to give thanks
and have a big meal with friends and neighbours.Lesson 31 1 Read and answer,You may besurprised to learn
that some Indian groups had six Thanksgiving festivals every year.
The first was in early February.It celebrated the harvest of a juice from special trees.Thesecond took place in the early spring.
It celebrated the planting of seeds in the ground.The third Thanksgiving was celebrated in thelate spring
for the first fruit of the season.The next was in the summer to give thanks for the corn.
The fifth festival came in late autumn to celebrate the harvest.
The last took place during the winter to give thanks for another safe year.
Lesson 32 2 Dictation,1.This is an Indian prayer of thanks.
Listen to the tape as you read the text and write in the missing words.2.Form a small groupand read the text aloud.
3.Then choose one person to read it to the rest of your class.Gwa!Gwa!Gwa!Now the time hascome!Hear us,Great Father of the Sky!
We are here to _1_the truth,for you want only truth.We are your children,Great Father of theSky.Now begins our _2_.
With this fire and smoke we _3_ our prayers to you.Now in the beginning you_4_ us with all weneed on earth.
You said:I shall make the earth for the people to live on.They shall look to the earth as theirmother and they shall say,
"It is she who gives us much." We are_ 5_ for the earth and each other.So this is why we havecome here today to give you thanks.
Now see the smoke from the _6_.It rises high into the sky.We will eat food from our hardwork.You have given us a world to grow many things.
You give us the _7_ Corn.It keeps us _8_.Now it grows colder.But it will be warm again in thespring and life will return to us.
We_9_you and we are thankful.The_10_from the fire rises again.See the _1l_ and hear ourwords
4.Read,Many,many years ago,Sister Corn wanted to bring more pleasure to her people.She hadalready made the shoes they wore.
Now she wanted to make something different.So she asked the Great Spirit if she could makelittle people of cornhusk.
The Great Spirit agreed.Then Sister Corn began the hard work and made a very beautiful youngcorn woman.One day this woman went into the forest and looked at herself in a clear lake.
She saw how beautiful she was and became very proud and naughty.Soon people becameunhappy,so the Great Spirit told the woman not to be so proud,but she didn't listen.
The Great Spirit decided to teach her a lesson:she would have no face,nor could she talk to thepeople,
the birds,or the animals of the forest.She must walk around the earth forever looking forsomething to do
to get her lovely face back again.To this day,the Indian people do not put any face on theircorn husk dolls.
