　　Hello, everyone. Have you ever wondered what the weather is like in other places around the world? Today, I’d like to talk to you about the changing seasons in my city which was the assigned topic for this class.

　　First of all, the winter season usually begins in December and ends in early March. The coldest month is January, and temperatures can drop below freezing for most of this month. The city usually averages about 30 inches of snow during this entire 3-month period. Occasionally, we have snow storms that can drop a foot of snow in a very short period of time. Winter activities during this season include sledding, skiing, and snowshoeing.

　　Spring usually arrives in late March, and the temperatures hover(stay) around 50 degrees during the day. It is a beautiful season because the flowers start to bloom. It is sometimes windy, and this is great for flying kites. People in my city often like to go on picnics, stroll through parks, and play outdoor games.

　　Next, summer starts in June, as temperatures slowly rise to around 80 degrees. The summer in my city is very dry with little rain throughout the season, and temperatures can soar(increase quickly) above 100 degrees in August. Fortunately, the weather is very dry with low humidity(湿度), so it is really pleasant even on hot days. Popular activities during this season are hiking, fishing, camping, water skiing, and outdoor sports including football and soccer.

　　And finally, summer changes to fall in late September when the weather cools off, and the trees begin to change colors. A lot of people enjoy driving into the mountains and viewing the fall colors. It is also a time when people clean up their yards and gardens in preparation for the winter season.

　　So, as you can see, my city has a lot to offer no matter when you visit this area.

　　LOS ANGELES-Jesus Ibarra was confused by the elderly man in the skullcap(无沿便帽).He was obviously much older than other students at Central Adult High School. And he was an Anglo on a campus where most students are Latinos, blacks, and Asian-Americans.

　　“I asked myself what he was doing here,” says Ibarra, 21, of Los Angeles. “I thought he was a volunteer. The first time I talked to him, I asked a question in English, and he answered in Spanish. I thought he was white and Jewish. I never imagined that he would speak Spanish.”

　　Jacob Blitzstein surprised his fellow students all the time. He isn’t some stuffy guy, though he wears his neat gray beard and conservative(traditional) clothes.

　　Blitzstein is warm and gregarious (enjoys being with others). He likes to hear a good joke-and loves to tell a good story. He is determined, especially when it comes to pursuing his dream.

　　Recently, that dream came true. At a ceremony attended by two of his children and three grandchildren, Blitzstein, 81, graduated from high school

　　After Principal Lanny Nelms handed him the diploma(证书)and announced his age, Blitzstein waved to the audience and cried.

　　And why not? He’s probably the oldest Central High graduate since the school opened in 1974. Although no records of such things are kept, a Los Angeles district spokesman says Blitzstein is the oldest graduate he’s ever heard of.

　　Earning his diploma took 10 years, during which the retired store owner suffered a stroke(中风)and two bouts of pneumonia, had two pacemakers(心脏起搏器)installed, and lost his wife and two brothers.

　　He kept to his task for a reason. School “is the best medicine you can have,” he says. “You have something on your mind-a goal.”…

　　With his diploma in hand, Blizstein states that he’s not through yet.

　　“You know something? I’m going to college,” he told a visitor recently. He has checked out West Los Angeles and Santa Monica community colleges and says he hopes to transfer from there to a four-year school.

　　“It’s not a joke, ” he says. “If I live to the year 2006, maybe I’ll be a doctor.”

　　49.What was Jacob Blizstein’s dream?

　　A. To be the oldest graduate.

　　B. To graduate from high school.

　　C. To surprise his fellow students.

　　D. To invite his children to attend his ceremony.

　　A. it’s always possible to learn more

　　B. it’s necessary to receive the college education

　　C. it isn’t a joke to be a doctor

　　D. it’s easy to graduate from high school

　　51.What does Blitzstein mean by saying he’s not through yet?

　　A.It’s a dream from which he can’t wake up.

　　B.It’s a start for him to go on with his study.

　　C.He can’t believe that he can receive the diploma.

　　Where is that noise coming from? Not sure? Try living with your eyes closed for a few years.

　　Blind people are better at locating sounds than people who can see, a new study says, Without the benefits of vision the ears seem to work much better.

　　Previous studies have shown that blind people are better than others at reaching out and touching the sources of sounds that are close by. Researchers from the University of Montreal wanted to see if blind people were also better at locating sounds that are far away. www.
