23、ause although I enjoy swimming, I thought canoeing might be too difficult. And I was right. I really couldnt get the hang of it. But there the tutors all remembered me because I was one of their star students, far from it. But I fell out the canoeing more often than everyone else but together. But e
24、ven so, I enjoyed it so much that when some of the group signed up to do another course together, in six months time. I found myself signing up too, but that the tutor refused to teach me next time. Speaker 2: It was really good fun. Fifteen people from all sorts of backgrounds, all desperately tryi
25、ng to speak Italian to each other. And most of us were absolutely beginners. We kept fooling about laughing. But actually, it did get a lot easier by the last day. And the tutors were awfully patient. It was held in a big house in a country which now belongs to a university. And the whole thing was
26、brilliant. In fact, I dont know how they can do it for what they charged because it was almost like staying in a luxury hotel. Maybe it was subsidized by the university. Speaker 3: It was quite an out sort of course in a way because I expected everyone to be working together and helping each other t
27、o learn. But most of the time we were just working on our own computers with the tutor going around and helping each individually. No team work at all. It made me realize that I work much better with other people than on my own. Maybe its poor motivation or something. Anyway, I learnt much more abou
28、t using a computer which is what I wanted. So I supposed it was worth it, even though I cant say I enjoyed it much. Speaker 4: I can hardly move. I am so exhausted. We were out on the courts playing tennis from morning to night practically. Im suddenly not as fit as I ought to be. I suppose that the
29、y thought wed want to play all day to get our moneys worth. Well, I could have done with a bit more theory and demonstrations, and a lot more taking it easy. They told me I should go on to the advanced course next month, but I dont know. I think they have to say that to get the bookings because they
30、 seemed to be saying the same thing to everyone. Speaker 5: There were several people Ive met on other courses. I havent been on that many but some of them seem to take at least a dozen year. Actually, we ended up spending a lot of time chatting and going for walks in the garden. And that kind of ma
31、de up for the fact that I didnt really learn much about local history which is why Id gone. The tutor certainly knew a lot about the subject but she seemed to have very little idea how to teach.

35、l. He later spent two years studying acting theatre at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. But he left college to join the Army airforces during World War II.

You will hear a passage about “Living a Long Life “. You will listen to it twice. For questions 24-30, indicate which of the alternativ
42、es A, B, or C is the most appropriate response. Mark one letter A, B, or C on the Answer Sheet. Living a Long Life In the Caucasus region of the Soviet Union, nearly 50 out of every 100,000 people live to celebrate their 100th birthday. But these Soviet old people arent alone. The Pakistani Hunzas,
43、who live high in the Himalaya Mountains, and the Vilcabambans of the Andes Mountains in Ecuador seem to share the secret of long life too. These peoples remain healthy in body and spirit despite the passage of time. While many older persons in industrial societies become weak and ill in their sixtie
44、s and seventies, some Soviet Georgians, aged 110 to 140, work in the fields beside their great-great-grandchildren. Even the idea of aging is foreign to them. When asked “At what age does youth end?“, most of these old people had no answer. Several replied, “Well, perhaps at age 80.“ The very younge
45、st estimate was age 60. What accounts for this ability to survive to such old age, and to survive so well? First of all, hard physical work is a way of life for all of these long-lived people. They begin their long days of physical labour as children and never seem to stop. For example, Mr. Rustam M
46、amedov is 142 years of age. He remembers his life experiences: the Crimean War of 1854; the Turkish War of 1878; the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. His wife is 116 years old. They have been married for 90 years. Mr. Mamedov has no intentions of retiring from his life as a farmer. “Why? What else woul
47、d I do?“ he asks. Oh, hes slowed down a bit. Now he might quit for the day after 6 hours in the field instead of 10. All these people get healthful rewards from the environment in which they work. They all come from mountainous regions. They live and work at elevations of 5,000 to 12,000 feet(1,660
48、to 4,000 metres)above sea level. The air has less oxygen and is pollution-free. This reduced oxygen environment makes the heart and blood vessel system stronger. Another factor that may contribute to the good health of these people is their isolation. To a great extent, they are separated from the p
49、ressures and worries of industrial society. Inherited factors also play some role. Most of the longest-lived people had parents and grandparents who also reached very old ages. Good family genes may, therefore, be one factor in living longer. Finally, although these three groups dont exactly eat the same food, their diets are full of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, and a youthful approach to life all contribute to the health and remarkable long life
