[00:33.10]Conversation One对话一
[00:35.79]M: Welcome to the Book Club. 男：欢迎来到《读书会》节目。
[00:38.06]Today's guest is Susan Lane, the author of a new book on personal finances that has already
sold half a million copies. 今天的嘉宾是苏珊·莱恩。她所撰写的关于个人理财的新书已经售出50万册。
[00:47.13]Hi, Susan, your book is extremely successful. Why do you think that is? 嗨，苏珊，你的
书非常成功。你认为原因是什么？
[00:52.96]W: I think that's because of my message, which is making happiness a priority over money.
女：我想这是因为我（在书中传递）的信息，将幸福的重要性排在金钱的前面。
[00:59.24]So many of us in my generation have spent decades trying to earn more money just to
consume more, but it made us more miserable. 我们这一代中有许多人花了几十年的时间试图挣更
多的钱，但只是因为他们想花得更多，可这会让我们更加痛苦。
[01:09.70]M: You yourself were once caught in that cycle, working for two decades as an executive and
earning a high salary, but still accumulating debt. 男：你自己也曾陷入过这种循环，当了20年高管，
薪水很高，但债务仍然在累加。
[01:19.41]W: I most certainly was. I earned millions, but by the time I quit my job four years ago to
become a writer, I owed over $30,000. 女：的确是这样。我挣了几百万，但四年前我辞去工作成为
一名作家时，却还负债3万多美元。
[01:29.76]M: So how did you escape that pattern? And what would you advise other people to do?
男：那么你是怎么摆脱这种模式的呢？你会建议其他人怎么做？
[01:34.82]W: The first change is in what we value. 女：第一个（需要做的）改变是我们的价值观。
[01:37.65]We need to emphasize things that actually make us happy, like relationships, the environment
or even our hobbies. 我们需要强调那些真正让我们快乐的事情，比如关系、环境甚至我们的爱好。
[01:45.67]Once we make the right things our priority, our goals will change and so will our financial
behavior. 一旦我们把合适的事情放在首位，我们的目标就会改变，我们的财务行为也会改变。
[01:53.22]M: How does that translate into practical action? 男：这如何转化为实际行动呢？
[01:56.59]Can you give our audience examples of what you are talking about on an everyday basis?
你能以日常事物为例给我们的听众解释一下你所说的意思吗？
[02:01.82]W: The major areas for action are usually housing, food and transportation. 女：转化成行
动的主要领域通常是住房、食品和交通。
[02:07.42]So people might share a home with friends instead of living on their own, bring lunch from
home instead of going to restaurants, and use public transport instead of owning a car. 所以，人们
可以与朋友同住而不是独自生活，从家里带午餐而不是去餐馆，使用公共交通工具而不是拥有汽车。
[02:19.28]M: Those sound like major sacrifices. 男：这些听起来像是很大的牺牲。[02:22.00]I could never share my home. I need my own space. 我永远无法把家分享出去。我需要自
己的空间。
[02:26.19]W: But they aren't sacrifices. 女：但这些不是牺牲。
[02:28.15]When people change their values, their desires change. 当人们改变自己的价值观时，他们
的欲求也会改变。
[02:31.65]So in the example of housing, if we value relationships, sharing a home isn't depriving
ourselves of space, but giving us an opportunity to spend more time with our loved ones. 因此，
以住房为例，如果我们重视人际关系，共享住所不是剥夺了我们的空间，而是给了我们一个机会，让我们
有更多的时间与我们所爱的人在一起。
[02:43.00]M: Indeed it is. 男：的确如此。
[02:45.11]Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 请根据你刚刚听到的

[05:04.99]W: There's so much detail in this painting. 女：这幅画有很多细节。
[05:07.83]I feel like I can really immerse myself in the scene. 我觉得我真的有身临其境的感觉。

[05:28.61]I assume she is an eccentric artist. 我猜她是个古怪的艺术家。
[05:31.24]M: Quite the opposite. In fact, she's not at all eccentric. 男：恰恰相反。事实上，她一点
也不古怪。
[05:35.50]I would say she's one of the most easygoing and intelligent people I know. 我想说她是我
认识的最随和、最聪明的人之一。
[05:40.00]W: I'd love to be able to meet her. 女：我很想见见她。

[07:22.32]Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once.短文和问题均播放一遍。
[07:26.36]After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked

[07:34.05]Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the
centre.然后将相应的答案涂在答题卡1上。
[07:40.02]Passage One短文一
[07:41.96]Forgiveness is the release of resentment or anger. 宽恕是怨恨或愤怒的释放。
[07:45.90]Forgiveness doesn't mean reconciliation. 宽恕并不意味着和解。
[07:49.00]We don't have to return to the same relationship, nor do we have to accept the same
harmful behaviors from an offender. 我们不必回到以前的关系，也不必再承受冒犯者相同的伤害行为。[07:56.83]Forgiveness is vitally important for the mental health of certain victims. 宽恕对某些受害者
的心理健康至关重要。
[08:02.13]It propels people forward rather than keeping them emotionally engaged in an injustice or
trauma. 它推动人们向前，让他们摆脱情感上的偏颇或创伤。
[08:09.37]Carrying the hurt or anger of an offense leads the body to release stress chemicals. 满怀
冒犯后的伤害或愤怒会导致身体释放压力化学物质。
[08:15.56]Eliminating the perpetual flow of those chemicals may also explain why forgiveness provides
physical health benefits. 消除这些化学物质的不间断流动也可以解释为什么宽恕能给身体健康带来益
处。
[08:23.62]There are scenarios in which forgiveness is not the best course. 在有些情况下，宽恕不是
最好的选择。
[08:28.10]Sometimes the victim becomes more empowered when they give themselves permission not to
forgive. 有时，当受害者放任自己不去原谅时，他们会变得更有力量。
[08:33.93]Forgiveness can be challenging. 宽恕是很考验人的。
[08:36.28]This is especially true when the offending party offers an insincere apology, or maybe they
haven't offered anything at all. 当冒犯的一方给出的道歉并不真诚，或者他们根本没有显露出任何歉
意时，宽恕就更有挑战性。
[08:45.45]However, it's often the healthiest path forward. 然而，宽恕通常是最健康的前进道路。
[08:49.36]It's important to cultivate forgiveness by developing compassion for the offender, reflect on
whether their act was due to malicious intent, or whether it was caused by challenging circumstances
in the offender's life. 通过逐渐对冒犯者产生同情来培养宽恕，反思他们的冒犯行为是出于恶意，还
是由冒犯者充满挑战的生活环境所造成的很重要的。
[09:04.11]What about forgiving ourselves? 宽恕自己又会如何呢？
[09:07.14]We sometimes need to take responsibility for mistakes, but intense guilt and shame aren't a
desirable outcome in the long run. 我们有时需要为错误承担责任，但从长远来看，强烈的内疚和羞
愧并不是理想的结果。
[09:16.05]Forgiving yourself may seem like an ambiguous process. 原谅自己似乎是一个模糊的过程。
[09:19.71]You can begin by acknowledging that you are at fault。Take responsibility for the hurt you
caused, then reflect on why the event occurred. 你可以先承认自己有过错。对自己造成的伤害负责，
然后反思事件发生的原因。
[09:30.69]Draw the lessons you learned and try to avoid committing a similar offense in the future.
吸取你学到的教训，尽量避免将来犯类似的错误。
[09:36.23]Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard. 请根据你刚刚听到的短
文回答问题9到11。

[10:16.87]11. What should one do in order to forgive the offender? 11. 一个人应该怎么做才能宽恕
冒犯者？

[10:36.59]The Glasgow subway first opened in 1896 as a cable-hauled system. 格拉斯哥地铁于1896
年首次开通，当时是电缆牵引系统。
[10:43.01]It is generally recognized as the world's third underground railway, after London and Budapest.
它被公认为是世界第三条地下铁路，仅晚于伦敦和布达佩斯。
[10:49.65]In its long history, it has never been expanded, remaining as a single loop line with a mere15 stations. 在其漫长的历史中，它从未被扩建过，只是一条只有15个车站的单向环线。
[10:57.83]At its peak, it served the shipyard workers on the south side of the city. 在鼎盛时期，它
为城市南侧的造船厂工人服务。
[11:03.21]In the 1960s, there was a decline in the shipbuilding industry, and the popularity of private
transport grew. 在20世纪60年代，造船业出现了衰退，私人运输的普及率上升。
[11:11.39]As a result, the subway saw a rapid decline in ridership. 因此，地铁乘客量迅速下降。
[11:16.72]It ran with little further change until 1977 when its new operators closed it for major
modernization investment. 1977年之前，该线路几乎没有什么变化。那一年，新的运营商投入大量资
金进行现代化改造，关闭了这条线路。
[11:26.57]Carriages were replaced, ventilation was improved, and the main depot was also renovated
and fitted with connecting tracks to replace the outdated crane transfer mechanism. 更换了车厢，
改进了通风设备，翻新了主车库，并用新安装的连接轨道取代了过时的起重机转移装置。
[11:39.51]The subway in its present form reopened for operation in April 1980. 1980年4月，改造
后的地铁重新开放运营。
[11:46.09]Since its relaunch, the subway has seen a revival in its fortunes. 自重新运营以来，地铁的
命运得到了复兴。
[11:51.15]It serves as a viable alternative to other forms of transport and has gone a long way to
alleviate traffic jams in the city centre. 作为其他交通方式的可行性替代方案，地铁在缓解市中心的
交通堵塞方面取得了很大进展。
[12:01.00]In 1996, the system reached an important milestone—100 years. 1996年，该系统达到了一
个重要的里程碑--开通一百周年。
[12:07.23]To commemorate the special event, the colour scheme of the train carriages was updated.

[12:13.11]Recently, high-tech systems such as smartcard ticketing machines and smart gates are used
across all subway stations. 最近，所有地铁站都使用了智能卡售票机和智能闸机等高科技系统。
[12:23.11]The smartcard provides more convenient travel and passengers simply top up their cards and
tap them to get in and out the subway. 智能卡提供了更便捷的出行方式，乘客只需给卡充值后刷卡
即可进出地铁。
[12:33.00]Since its launch, the technology has been adopted by more than 100,000 subway customers.
自推出以来，该技术已被超过10万名地铁客户采用。

[14:10.00]The recordings will be played only once.录音只播放一遍。[14:12.58]After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked

[14:20.20]Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the
centre.然后将相应的答案涂在答题卡1上。
[14:26.12]Recording One录音一
[14:28.17]If you visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, chances are you will remember the
roadside or campground bears above all else. 如果你参观大烟山国家公园，你最有可能记住的会是
（出现在）路边或露营地的熊。
[14:37.57]Bears are the most popular animals in a number of our national parks. 熊在我们的很多国
家公园中都是最受欢迎的动物。
[14:42.67]In these mountains, where the population of bears runs into the hundreds, opportunities to
observe these large wild animals are plentiful during the summer. 在这片山区，熊的数量多达数百
头，在夏季，有大量的机会可以看到这些大型的野生动物。
[14:53.03]Since national parks are wildlife sanctuaries where no disturbance of the native animals is
allowed, years of protection have served to break down the wild bears' fear of humans. 由于国家
公园是野生动物保护区，不允许干扰当地动物，多年的保护消除了野生熊对人类的恐惧。
[15:05.96]Now, instead of depending on their own resources for a living, many bears patrol park roads
and campgrounds. 现在，许多熊不再依靠自己的资源为生，而是在公园道路和露营地闲逛。
[15:14.39]They give the garbage cans a frequent going over. 他们经常在垃圾桶里搜寻。
[15:18.06]An occasional offer of food from a park visitor, an illegal and dangerous practice, makes
beggars of them. 公园游客偶尔会做出危险且违法的行为，向熊提供食物，而这让熊学会乞食。
[15:27.04]Bears are very often hungry and since they will feed on almost any kind of plant or animal,
garbage is quite acceptable. 熊通常很饿，而它们几乎可以以任何种类的植物或动物为食，所以，吃
垃圾也没问题。
[15:36.12]Feeding them, however, represents misguided kindness because the bears come to expect such
generosity from everyone and consequently, trouble could lie ahead. 然而，这种善意的喂养带有误
导性，因为熊开始期待每个人都能如此慷慨，而这很可能会引发麻烦。
[15:48.29]Park rules prohibit the feeding of bears. Violators are arrested. 公园规定不许喂熊。违者将
被逮捕。
[15:53.74]Every year, doctors who have offices near the park treat a number of cases of bear bites and
bear scratches. 每年，在公园附近的医生都会治疗一些被熊咬伤和抓伤的病例。
[16:01.52]Some of the accidents have come about in strange ways. 有些事故真是千奇百怪。
[16:05.85]One man was in the process of feeding two small cubs, when the mother bear appeared and
insisted upon having some of the food. 一名男子正在喂养两只幼崽，这时熊妈妈出现了，坚持要食
物吃。
[16:14.85]Shoving the big bear aside with one hand, the man continued feeding the cubs when
suddenly he was struck a fierce blow in the face. 这名男子用一只手将大熊推开，继续给幼崽喂食，
突然他的脸上受到了猛烈的一击。
[16:24.72]A bear, prompted by the food that a lady kept offering to him, entered the car where the
generous person was sitting. 一只熊在一位女士不断向他提供食物的吸引下，爬进了这位慷慨的人的
坐驾。
[16:32.48]Her efforts to push the bear out of the car resulted in injuries. 她试图将熊推出车外，结
果受了伤。
[16:37.52]A man required medical attention after he applied a lighted cigarette to a bear's nose. 一名男子将点燃的香烟插进了一只熊的鼻子，以需要就医告终。
[16:44.10]Another man tried to boost a bear into the front seat of his car so that he might take a
picture of a bear sitting beside his wife who was behind the wheel. 另一名男子试图将一只熊推到
汽车的前排座位上，这样他就可以拍到熊和驾驶座上的妻子的合照。
[16:54.52]Because bears prefer roads and campgrounds, the possibility of a hiker meeting up with a
bear along park trails is small, but there's always that chance, for a bear seems to know if you are
carrying a lunch or a candy bar. 因为熊更喜欢公路和露营地，徒步旅行者在公园小路上遇到熊的几
率很小，但凡事总有可能，因为熊似乎知道你是否带有午餐或是糖果。
[17:11.00]He may even insist on taking it. 他还可能会坚持索要。
[17:14.67]Questions 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard. 请根据你听到的讲座
回答问题16到18。
[17:20.00]16. What does the speaker say about the bears in national parks now? 16. 讲话者对国家
公园中熊的现状是怎样描述的？
[17:39.44]17. What does the speaker say about visitors feeding bears in national parks? 17. 关于游
客在国家公园喂熊，讲话者怎么说？
[17:59.42]18. What is the speaker's advice to people who carry some food while hiking on a park trail?
18. 对于携带食物在公园小路上徒步旅行的人，讲话者有什么建议？
[18:20.05]Recording Two录音二
[18:21.83]Why do we form opinions or attitudes about someone or something without really knowing
much about them? 为什么我们在没有真正了解某人或某事时就已经对他们形成了某种看法或态度？
[18:29.28]Just hearing something good or bad about a person, a place or thing can influence our
opinions positively or negatively. 仅仅听到一个人、一个地方或一件事的好或坏，就能对我们的看法
产生积极或消极的影响。
[18:38.21]But letting the opinions of another person determine what our opinions will be is dangerous.
然而，让别人的意见决定我们的意见是非常危险的。
[18:44.96]Forming opinions about someone or something before really knowing them well is called
prejudice. 在真正了解某人或某事之前形成对他们的看法被称为偏见。
[18:51.73]"Pre-" means before and "-judice" refers to judgment. Pre-意为"之前"， -judice意为"判断"。
[18:56.68]Hence, prejudice means to judge before having adequate knowledge. 因此，偏见意味着在
拥有足够的了解之前进行判断。
[19:01.72]We can be prejudiced toward or against someone or something. 我们可能对某人或某事抱
有正面或反面的偏见。
[19:06.09]In either case, we are only allowing ourselves to see half of the picture. 无论哪种情况，
我们都只看到事物的一半。
[19:11.41]Very few people or things in this world are all good or all bad. 这个世界上很少有人或事
是全好或全坏的。
[19:16.94]Prejudiced attitudes are usually based on myths, half-truths or incorrect information, and they
are dangerous because they can keep us from learning the truth about someone or something. 偏
见的态度通常基于不真实的、半真半假的或不正确的信息；偏见很危险，因为它们使我们无法了解某人或
某事的真相。
[19:30.54]People form prejudices against others for many reasons—differences in their race, religion,
gender or occupation. 人们对他人形成偏见的原因有很多--如在种族、宗教、性别或职业等方面的差
异。[19:41.06]Prejudices keep people apart. 偏见使人疏远。
[19:44.18]They keep us from really knowing and understanding each other. 它们使我们无法真正了解
和理解彼此。
[19:48.23]We should feel proud of who we are and the group of people we represent. 我们应该为
自己和我们所代表的群体感到骄傲。
[19:53.25]If feelings of pride begin to turn to feelings of superiority, when we think that our group or
our beliefs are better than those around us, however, then we begin to develop prejudiced attitudes
that can be harmful. 然而，如果我们认为我们的团队或我们的信念要优于身边的人，自豪感开始转
变为优越感，那么我们就会开始形成有害的偏见态度。
[20:08.22]For example, the prejudiced attitudes of one group may keep another group from attending
certain schools, from living in any neighborhood they want, or from getting a job or a promotion.
例如，一个群体的偏见态度可能会使另一个群体无法进入某些学校，无法居住在他们想要居住的社区，也
无法获得工作或晋升。
[20:20.13]Extreme feelings of prejudice have caused the deaths of innocent people. 极端的偏见造成
了无辜者的死亡。
[20:25.24]We are responsible for our own thoughts and opinions. 我们应该对自己的想法和观点负责。
[20:29.11]When we let someone else tell us what to think about someone or something, we are giving
up some control of our own lives. 当我们允许别人告诉我们该如何看待某人或某事时，我们就放弃
了对自己生活的某种控制。
[20:37.08]Before you form an attitude or opinion, find out for yourself about the person or the thing in
question. 在你形成一种态度或观点之前，先亲自了解一下这个人或事。
[20:44.02]Sometimes we don't realize that we hold prejudiced attitudes toward or against someone or
something. 有时我们没有意识到我们对某人或某事持有正面或负面的偏见。
[20:51.12]We need to carefully examine our lives and our fears, and to ask ourselves whether our
