By 1850, almost all of New England’s forest had been chopped down, and much of this was turned to farmland, surrounded by stone walls. But then everything changed, as richer farmland and gold were discovered in the west. And many of the settlers chased their fortunes elsewhere. Towns like Livermore disappeared as quickly as they had been formed. Slowly, the trees of New England grew around the ruins and reclaimed the land. This new forest was very different. By chopping down the old-growth trees, people had given fast-growing maples and oaks a chance to claim the land. They grew back in greater numbers than ever before.
Part B Role Play
W: Hi, Tom. Where did you go for the winter holiday? 
M: Oh, I went to Australia. 
W: That must be very exciting! How long was your stay? 
M: I spent twenty days there. 
W: Wow! That’s a long holiday. Did you go there with family? 
M: No. I went there alone, and enjoyed the trip very much. 
W: Cool. But I don’t think I can afford a holiday there. It must be very expensive. 
M: Not at all. I did that through work exchange.
三问部分
1.那是什么意思呢？
（回答：Well, work exchange is a great way to save money when you travel. You just work to get a free bed and some free food and you meet new people. For example, I worked on a farm this time in Australia. In exchange, the host there afforded me very nice accommodation and food, and I even made a good friend there, who was also on work exchange.）
参照答案：
What do you mean?
What does it/that mean?
What’s the meaning of that?
2.你有诸多空闲时间旅游吗？
（回答：Sure. In Australia, I had two days a week for travelling, while last year in India, I worked only three days a week. It really depends. How many hours you work is decided by the host.）
参照答案：
Did you have a lot of free/spare time for travelling?
Was there plenty of spare time for you to travel?
Did you have plenty of time to travel?
3.游客能找到哪些工作呢？
（回答：There’re jobs available in hostels, art galleries, local families and so on. It really depends on the host and the country. For example, in Australia, there’re more jobs on farms than in hostels. In some countries, there’re many job opportunities offered by local families. The parents of those families mostly want you to teach their kids English. But I guess a hostel job is the most popular one.）

Aging is happening to us all of the time. Our own family is often our best guide to what it will mean. When we imagine our older age, a lot of us look at our parents. We know we’ve inherited their genes and suspect that what’s happening to them now may well be what happens to us in the future. And that’s something we’re likely to have mixed feelings about. Because we inherit our parents’ genes, we might also be vulnerable to some of the same illnesses. Our skin cells simply can’t replace themselves as well as they did. Even if you have spectacular genes, eventually we’ll start to look older.

At the time Hawking was working on black holes, he’d achieved amazing insights into the workings of these objects. Black holes are the most terrifying places in the universe. Created when a giant star dies, at their dark hearts is a point of infinite gravity. So powerful, nothing can escape it, not even light. Black holes, instead of lasting forever, as everyone thought, eventually disappear, leaving no trace of anything, including information. Every black hole has a boundary. It’s the point of no return. If anything passes the boundary, it takes its information with it.
