专四听力指导：听懂英语新闻的十大方法

英语专四听写模拟练习全套 英语专四听写练习：女人的生活发生了改变 A Change in Women’s Life The important change in women’s life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position.Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full-time or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them. Useful Words and Expressions: life-pattern生活方式 Share 英语专四听写模拟：美国和英国的警察局 British and American Police Officers Real policemen, both in Britain and the U.S., hardly recognize any common points between their lives and what they se on TV—if they ever get home in time. Some things are almost the same, of course, but the policemen do not think much of them much of them. The first difference is that a policeman’s real life deals with the law. Most of what he learns is the law. He has to know actually what actions are against the law and what facts can be used to p rove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a lawyer, and what’s more, he has to put it into practice on his feet, in the dark and, running down a narrow street after someone he wants to talk to. Little of his time is spent in talking with beautiful girls or in bravely facing cruel criminals. He will spend most of his working life arranging millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, ordinary people who are guilty--- or not of stupid, unimportantcrimes. Useful Words and Expressions: 1 think much of 重视，尊重 2 in court 在法庭上 3 criminal 罪犯，犯罪者 4 guilty 犯罪的，有罪的 英语专四听写练习：阿尔伯特爱因斯坦 Albert Einstein Albert Einstein was born in Germany in 1879, His father owned a factory that made electrical devices.
