听力原文:W: Roger, any problems in your Korean study?
M: The biggest problem with me is the Korean vocabulary. It really makes me frustrated.The pronunciation and usage put me into great confusion as l keep forgetting them.
W: I guess first of all,you can narrow down the vocabulary sphere. I mean, try to learn “core” vocabulary,the words with high frequencies of occurrence.
M: That sounds quite reasonable. Do you think I can find in bookstores a book or dictionary where such kinds of words are listed?
W: Yes, definitely. Another thing, the first several occurrences of strange words ale very important words are remembered best if they are learnt quickly with a few presentations. You may not have much trouble in remembering swear words,may you?
M: No. They're very impressive and quite memorable. I don't even need to practice them.
W: That's it! For other words lat don't have such a strong effect, you have to make yourself highly attentive and sensitive. If not,later practice and repetition don't seem to work so well.
M: I see.
W: The last thing I'll say is that if you want to remember something for periods long than a year or two, you need to space the presentations over quite long intervals of days, say 30 days A more frequent interval doesn't promise you longer remembrance.
M: Really? I have thought every word should be practiced as often as possible within a short time span.
W: No. How the word is practiced is much more important than how often it is practiced.
M: You really do me a great favor, Teresa.

听力原文: In my opinion, Frank Lloyd Wright was the greatest American architect of the 20th century. People who know his designs well point out that his roofs often leaked, his ceilings were too low, and his houses were uncomfortable. In my presentation, however, I'll be focusing on the virtues of his designs. For as you will see, it would be hard to dispute that he manipulated space extremely well, some of his smallest houses looked gigantic, and he had great respect for the materials he used and also a tremendous skill for placing his buildings in harmony with nature. Wright's career began when he was young. He was just a teenager when he helped build the chapel on his family's property in Wisconsin. And from there, he got hired as a draftsman by the project architect. So it was a very long career. He died at 91, while his final major work, the Guggenheim Museum, was still being built. Today, we'll cover what we consider to be the two great periods of his career: Wright's works before the Tokyo Imperial Hotel completed in 1922 and everything after Falling Water, a private residence in western Pennsylvania completed in 1936. The first period started around 1896, when he made a dramatic shift from the classical tradition to the arts and crafts movement. Here, the emphasis was on order, consistency and unity of design. Things were kept simple with minimal decoration. Natural forms were very important. Now let's take a look at a slide of his own dining room done in this style.

听力原文: One important thing about art movements is that their popularity can be affected by social conditions, which are themselves often affected by historical events. As an example, look at what happened in the United States early in the 20th century, around the time of the Great Depression, the art movement known as the Regionalism had begun in the United States even before the Depression occurred. But it really flourished in the 1930s, during the depression years. Why? Well, many artists who had been living in big cities were forced by the economic crisis to leave those big cities and move back to their small towns in rural America. Some of these artists came to truly embrace the life in small towns and to reject city life in so-called "sophisticated society". These artists or specifically certain painters really built the regionalist movement. They created things in everyday life in small towns or farming areas. And their style. was not all neutral, really big glorified or romanticized country life, showing it stable, wholesome, and embodying important American traditions. And this style. became very popular, in part because of the economic conditions of the time. You see, the Depression had caused many Americans to begin to doubt their society. But regionalism artists painted scenes that glorified American values, scenes that many Americans could easily identify with. So the movement helped strengthen people's faith in their country, faith that had weakened as the result of the depression. But in the 1940s, before and after the Second World War, American culture began to take on a much more international spirit, and Regionalism, with its focus on small town life, well, it lost a lot of popularity, as American society changed once again.
