11
Just as mankind has always had a desire to fly,
12
the human race has wanted to swim under the water since prehistoric times.
13
Pictures of primitive devices to enable people to breathe underwater have been found dating from 3,000 years ago.
14
But our dream of moving freely beneath the ocean waves for long periods of time was only realised about sixty years ago,
15
when French diving legend Jacques Cousteau developed the first practical self-contained underwater breathing apparatus, scuba.
16
Since then, the sport of scuba diving has gone from strength to strength.
17
Lovers of scuba diving rave about the feeling of weightlessness,
18
the peace and quiet under the water,
19
the ability to move in three dimensions,
20
and the sense of adventure they get while on a dive.
21
Scuba divers often travel to some of the most beautiful
22
and remote places in the world in the search for rare underwater flora and fauna.
23
Palau, the Red Sea, the Maldives and Hawaii have many of the most popular diving sites,
24
but recreational divers often have to make do with less exotic local destinations,
25
like the North Sea in Britain.
26
Scuba diving is not without its dangers, however.
27
The mixture of nitrogen and oxygen divers breathe under water,
28
combined with the pressure under the water,
29
can be deadly if a diver rises too quickly to the surface,
30
causing a condition called the bends.
31
Divers can also get lost or trapped when diving on wrecks,
32
and fatalities are particularly common in cave diving,
33
where divers add to the dangers of diving by swimming through underground caves filled with water.
34
Diving can also be harmful to the underwater environment.
35
In the past, irresponsible divers have caused a great deal of damage to coral reefs.
36
However, with proper precautions, diving can open up a whole new world,
37
far from the stresses of daily life.
38
So what are you waiting for?
39
Get your wetsuit on, strap your board to the roof rack,
40
throw your scuba gear in the boot and head for the beach.
41
I'll see you there.
42
Now, open your question paper and look at Talk or Lecture 2.
43
You'll have 30 seconds to look through the questions and the options in each question.
44
Now, we are ready to start.
45
Listen carefully.
46
After a bad start to the year,
47
25-year-old Tiger Woods has won his last two golf tournaments.
48
In March, he won the Bay Hill Tournament and the Players' Championship, both in Florida.
49
He has earned more than $2 million this year and is number one on the U.S money list.
50
He has also won the last three majors.
51
Can anyone stop him in the U.S.
52
Masters at Augusta, Georgia this week?
53
Vijay Singh, a 38-year-old golfer from Fiji,
54
is one man who can.
55
In March, he lost to Tiger Woods by only one hole at the Players' Championship.
56
He finished fifth on the money list in 2000.
57
More importantly, he won the U.S.
58
Masters last year.
59
Only two players have ever won consecutive U.S.
60
Masters tournaments, Jack Nicklaus, 1965 and 66,
61
and Nick Faldo, 1989 and 90.
62
Perhaps Vijay Singh will be the third.
63
He is playing well and has finished in the top four in his last six tournaments.
64
Another possible winner is Phil Mickelson.
65
The 31-year-old American was the first left-handed player to win the U.S.
66
Amateur Championship, 1990.
67
He won four tournaments in 2000 and finished second on the money list to Tiger Woods.
68
He lost to Woods by only one hole at the Bay Hill Tournament in March this year.
69
And there is Joe Durant.
70
This has been a wonderful year for the 37-year-old American.
71
At the beginning of this year,
72
he was not even in the top 200 players,
73
but suddenly he has started playing the best golf of his life.
74
He was the first player this year to win consecutive tournaments and was top of the money list for two months.
75
They are three excellent players,
76
but it will be hard to beat Woods.
77
Since he became professional in 1996,
78
he has won 34 tournaments.
79
In 1997, he was the youngest player to win the U.S.
80
Masters.
81
He is also the first golfer since Jack Nicklaus,
82
1972, to win three consecutive majors.
83
But he must be careful.
84
He finished fifth at the U.S.
85
Masters last year.
86
And nobody has won the Florida Players' Championship and the U.S.
87
Masters since Sandy Lyle in 1988.
88
Many people have a feeling that this is Tiger Woods' year.
89
He is already the best golfer in the world.
90
If he wins the U.S.
91
Masters this week, he will be the first man in history to win four consecutive majors.
92
On Sunday evening, we shall see if he is one of the greatest sportsmen the world has ever known.
93
Now, open your question paper and look at Talk or Lecture 3.
94
You now have 30 seconds to look through the questions and the options in each question.
95
Now we are ready to start.
96
Listen carefully.
97
The concept of peace is a very important one in cultures all over the world,
98
and there are certain symbols which people in very different cultures recognise as representing peace.
99
Let's look at the origins of a few of them.
100
The dove The dove has been a symbol of peace and innocence for thousands of years in many different cultures.
101
In ancient Greek mythology, it was a symbol of love and the renewal of life.
102
In ancient Japan, a dove carrying a sword symbolized the end of war.
103
There was a tradition in Europe that if a dove flew around a house where someone was dying,
104
then their soul would be at peace.
105
And there are legends which say that the devil can turn himself into any bird except for a dove.
106
In Christian art, the dove was used to symbolise the Holy Ghost and was often painted above Christ's head.
107
But it was Pablo Picasso who made the dove a modern symbol of peace
108
when he used it on a poster for the World Peace Congress in 1949.
109
The Rainbow The rainbow is another ancient and universal symbol,
110
often representing the connection between human beings and their gods.
111
In Greek mythology, it was associated with Iris,
112
the goddess who brought messages from the gods on Mount Olympus.
113
In Scandinavian mythology, the rainbow was a bridge between the gods and the earth.
114
In the Bible, a rainbow showed Noah that the biblical flood was finally over and that God had forgiven his people.
115
In the Chinese tradition, the rainbow is a common symbol for marriage because the colours represent the union of yin and yang.
116
Nowadays, the rainbow is used by many popular movements for peace and the environment,
117
representing the possibility of a better world in the future and promising sunshine after the rain.
118
The Olive Branch The olive tree has always been a valuable source of food and oil.
119
In Greek mythology, the goddess Athene gave the olive tree to the people of Athens,
120
who showed their gratitude by naming the city after her.
121
But no one knows for sure when or why it began to symbolize peace.
122
There is probably a connection with ancient Greece.
123
Wars between states were suspended during the Olympic Games,
124
and the winners were given crowns of olive branches.
125
The symbolism may come from the fact that the olive tree takes a long time to produce fruit,
126
so olives could only be cultivated successfully in long periods of peace.
127
Whatever the history, the olive branch is a part of many modern flags symbolizing peace and unity.
128
One well-known example is the United Nations symbol.
129
This is the end of part three.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
