听力原文: Perth is actually a very young city which sits on the north bank of the Swan River. I'm sure many of you have already seen it. Less than 200 years ago the entire city center was an undeveloped wetland. Perth was founded by the British as the Swan River settlement in 1829, although the Dutch had visited other parts of the state much earlier. It grew quite slowly in the beginning, mostly because it was so isolated. There were constant problems with communications, and labor was always in short supply. Then in the 1890s gold was discovered in Western Australia and Perth boomed.
Anyway, there are now around 1.4 million people living in Perth and its suburbs. The city itself has sprawled in all directions and it will take you months to see it all. It stretches from the Darling Ranges—chain of hills—n the east, to the Indian Ocean in the West. It has swallowed Perth's southern sister city, Fremantle and almost reaches the small township of Yanchep in the north.

Sometimes, inexperienced students will plagiarize unintentionally, and then be surprised when the teacher warns the unexpected papers or gives them the failing grade. The best way to avoid unintentionally plagiarizing is to be very carefully gathering your information as you take notes of books and magazine articles about the topic you 'ye selected. First, try to assimilate the information thoroughly; Secondly, write it down in your own words, this is called paraphrasing. If you do a good job of paraphrasing, you will capture the main idea from your source without actually using any phrases from it. Most of your notes should probably be paraphrases from it. However, occasionally, you may find something you wish to quote directly in your research paper. In this case, be sure that you'll copy the quotation precisely in your notes and enclose it in quotation marks. That way when you're finalizing your research paper, you'll be able to remember which of your notes are direct quotes. You can then incorporate proprietarily and give your original author proper credit.
What does the speaker warn the students against doing?

A. Stealing another person's ideas.
B. Handing in assignments late.
C. Sharing notes with someone else.
D. Gathering non-relevant materials.
