听力原文： This summer the Shakespeare Festival will feature four plays that focus on Roman history, and since we've just finished reading Julius Caesar, I thought you'd be interested in going. The performances should be excellent. Besides our own college actors, there will be actors coming from New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and London. The festival has received a grant from the National Endowment for the humanities to support the plays, as well as a series of events to increase the public's appreciation of the plays. One of the events I hope you can go to is a public lecture by our own chair, Dr. Arthur Johnson. That will be two weeks from Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the community room downtown at the public library. Dr. Johnson will first give a brief introduction to the whole series, and then discuss Julius Caesar in detail. Tickets for the whole series are on sale now at the campus box office. The first play will begin two weeks from Friday.

听力原文： In 1968, the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, had a problem. The city' s school system needed a new school building and teachers but did not have the money to pay for this multi million-dollar project.
City officials solved the problem in a unique way. They decided m use the many scientific and cultural institutions in the city as the classrooms. Experts who worked in the various institutions would be the teachers. About 100 institutions in Philadelphia -- public, private, and commercial -- helped the program.
The experiment in institutions in education, known as the Parkway Program, began in February 1969. John Bremer, an Englishman and an innovator in the field of education, planned the program and became its director.
The Program has grown in size from 142 to 500 high school students and is so popular that thousands of applicants are denied places each year. The program gives a freedom to high school education never known before. Besides basic courses required for a diploma -- languages, history, science -- students may choose from more than one hundred other courses. Any subject will be offered if an instructor can be found. Every group of 15 boys and girls belongs to a "tutorial group", led by a teacher and one assistant. Students in the Program say that school is no longer a place but an interesting activity.

Chicago: Some Big Places to See in the "City of the Big Shoulders"
Early last century, the poet Carl Sandburg described Chicago, Illinois, as the "City of the Big Shoulders." That still seems right. Chicago does a lot of things in a big way.
For example, the city is a big transportation center in the Midwest for trains, trucks, ships and planes.
Manufacturing is one of the biggest industries in Chicago.
And Chicago has one of America's busiest ports. The city stretches for about 40 kilometers along the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan. The Saint Lawrence Seaway opened in 1959. It connects the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean.
Big Things in Chicago

At the Museum of Science and Industry, visitors crowd a working coal mine and a World War Two submarine(潜水艇).
At the Adler Planetarium, people see stars and learn about space. And at the Shedd Aquarium, they see colorful fish and learn about life under the sea.
Not surprisingly Chicago has a lot of big buildings. The two tallest are the Sears Tower and the John Hancock Building.
Many people take architectural tours around Chicago. There are many interesting landmarks and building designs to see.
The Wrigley Building, near the Chicago River, opened in the early 1920s. This office building is hard to miss. It is bright white.
Downtown Chicago, the business center, is known as the Loop. There are many offices and stores. The Loop includes the financial district around LaSalle Street. The financial district is home to the Chicago Board of Trade, the Chicago Stock Exchange and many banks.
Another big thing to see, and feel, is the weather. After all, another name for Chicago is the "Windy City." People turn their shoulders to the strong winds off Lake Michigan. In winter, Chicago gets a lot of snow; in summer, the weather is hot and sticky.
Almost 3 million people live in Chicago. Chicago is America's third largest city, after New York and Los Angeles. More than 9 million people live in surrounding communities.
