Passage OneMembers of the city council and distinguished guests, it is my privilege to introduce to you today Mr. Robert Wa
12、shington, chief of our citys police force. He will address us on the subject of the Community Policing Program. Most of you know that Mr. Washington has a distinguished record as head of our police force for more than ten years. However, you may not know that he also holds a masters degree in crimin
13、ology and studied abroad for a year with the international police force which deals with crimes around the world. Mr. Washington first introduced the Community Policing Program 8 years ago. The idea behind the program is to get the police officers out of their cars and into our neighborhood when the
14、y can talk directly to merchants and residents about the real dynamics of our city. These officers do more than make arrests. They try to find ways to help solve the problems that contribute to crime in the first place. Often that means hooking people up with services offered by other city agencies,
15、 such as schools, hospitals, housing, drug treatment centers. And the program seems to be working: crime is down and our citizens report that they feel more secure. Today Mr. Washington is going to tell us more about this program. Now lets welcome Mr. Robert Washington.26. What is the purpose of the
16、 speakers remarks?He will address us on the subject of community policing program.27. What does the speaker say about Mr. Robert Washington?Passage TwoThere are between 3000 and 6000 public languages in the world, and we must add approximately 6 billion private languages since each one of us necessa
17、rily has one. Considering these facts, the possibilities for breakdowns in communication seem infinite in number. However, we do communicate successfully from time to time. And we do learn to speak languages. But learning to speak languages seems to be a very mysterious process. For a long time, peo
18、ple thought that we learned a language only by imitation and association. For example, a baby touches a hot pot and starts to cry. The mother says, “Hot, hot!” And the baby, when it stops crying, imitates the mother and says, “Hot, hot!” However, Noam Chomsky, a famous expert in language, pointed ou
19、t that although children do learn some words by imitation and association, they also combine words to make meaningful sentences in ways that are unique, unlearned and creative. Because young children can make sentences they have never heard before, Chomsky suggested that human infants are born with
20、the ability to learn language. Chomsky meant that underneath all the differences between public and private languages, there is a universal language mechanism that makes it possible for us, as infants, to learn any language in the world. This theory explains the potential that human infants have for
21、 learning language. But it does not really explain how children come to use language in particular ways.Question 30. Why does the speaker say there are great possibilities for communication breakdowns?There are numerous public and private languages.Question 31. What is Chomskys point on the ability
22、to learn a language?Human infants are born with the ability to learn language and the potential to learn any language in the world.Question 32. What does Chomskys theory fail to explain according to the speaker?It does not really explain how children come to use language in particular ways.10月20号，21

I bet our ancestors returned home form hunting wild animals and gathering nuts and complained about how little time they had to pay i
36、n battle scenes on their cave wars. The difference is that the boss of animal-hunting and the head of nut-gathering probably told them to shut up or no survival for you. Todays workers are still demanding control over their time. The difference is todays bosses are listening. Ive been reading a repo
37、rt issued today called “When Work Words” produced jointly by three organizations.
