Shadows are easily explained since we know that light travels in a straight line. We also know that light waves pass through some bodies and not through others.
When light strikes a body and passes through it unchanged, we call such a body or material transparent. Most glass is such a material, especially window glass, and it is for this reason that we do not see the shadow of the window pane which the men are carrying. Do you know of any other transparent materials? The most common one, with which we are familiar, is air. Another is clear water.
On the other hand, some materials do not let light pass through them at all. They stop the light waves just as you would-catch a ball that was being thrown to someone standing between you. Such materials are called opaque. Men' s bodies, like steel, rock, concrete or even cardboard, are opaque and do not permit the light to pass through. An opaque body casts a shadow.
The title that best expresses the ideas of the passage is ______.
A.Why are there shadows
B.The transparent materials
C.How to cast a shadow
D.Shadows and light waves
听力原文:W: So what are the two main times of the day that you watch TV?
M: Well, a little around breakfast time and then it tends to be really late— eleven or even midnight—when I've finished work.
W: And what sort of programs do you go for?
M: Some news bulletins but I also really like to put my feet up with some of the old comedy shows.
W: Fine. And turning to the new channel...which type of programs would you like to see more of?
M: Well, I certainly don't think we need any more factual programs like news and documentaries. I think we need more about things like local in formation...you know, providing a service for the community. And in the same vein, perhaps more for younger viewers...you know, good quality stuff.
W: Ah ha. And if you had to give the new directors some specific advice when they set up the channel, what advice would you give theme
M: I think I'd advice them to pay more attention to the quality of the actual broadcast, you know, the sound system. They ought to do lots more of these kinds of interview, you know, talking with their potential customers.
W: Oh, I'm glad you think it's valuable!
M: Certainly...yeah.
W: Good. Ok, this will be a commercial channel of course, but how often do you think it is tolerable to have adverts?
M: Well out of that list I'd say every quarter of an hour. I don't think we can complain about that, as long as they don't last for ten minutes each time!
W: Quite. And…would you be willing to attend any of our special promotions for the new channel?
M: Yes, I'd be very happy to, as long as they're held here in my area.
W: Thank you very much for your time.

听力原文: In public speaking, the watch word is preparation. Most of us tend to put things off, at least occasionally. It's so easy to put things off especially those things we do not look forward to doing. So if the speaking engagement is several weeks off, we may feel that we still have plenty of time. But as the day draws closer, we begin to panic. Don't let this happen to you. Start preparing as soon as you're given or accept the speaking assignment. You have much to do and to do it right will take time. How much better your speech will be and how much better you'll feel if you have taken the time to do it right! When you are prepared, you have gathered the needed data, determined what is appropriate to the listener's understanding and acceptance levels, organized the ideas so they flow logically, selected examples and other supports for your ideas and made them interesting to your listeners, developed a great opening that you know will capture the attention of even the daydreamers in your audience checked out the room where you'll be speaking and requested any feasible changes you wish in the set-up of the room If you are prepared, you are confident that you can best convey your message to your listeners. If you waited until a few days before your presentation to begin to prepare, or worse, yet, the day before, no doubt you'll be anxious and with good reason. And now there is not enough time to engage in more than a superficial attempt. Both you and the audience will feel uncomfortable, like retirement planning. It is never too early to start preparing for your presentation. So, start preparing right away.

A.Confidence.
