I want to welcome each and every balloon enthusiast to Philadelphia. Thank you for coming here this morning to commemorate the first balloon voyage航空 in the Unite States. On January 9th, 1793, at 10 o’clock in the morning, a (suit) silk balloon lifted into the skies above this city which was at the time the capital of the country. 3 D8 L7 C4 w& b1 T

According to the original records of the flight, the voyage lasted 46 minutes, from the departure in Philadelphia (do) to its landing across the Delaware River in New Jersey. (Low hour pallus) Though our pilots飞行员+ Z3 m, h" O8 C+ Z0 M: N) X

Even the balloonist in 1793 experienced (someone certain) some uncertain weather that day. There were clouds, fog and mist薄雾 in various directions.

Gas-filled models are pretty uncommon now because of (their) the extremely high cost, so the 80 other ballots in today’s long (charge hard there) launch起飞 are hot air, heated by propane丙烷 burners. These balloons are (fur moreover) from all over the country.

Consider how long it used to take to (think) send a letter across a relatively short distance. Back (to) in the 16,00’s, it(’s) took two weeks on horseback to get a letter from Boston to New York, a distance of about 260 miles. Crossing (the) a river was also a challenge. Ferry渡口 service was so irregular (but) that a carrier (was) would sometimes wait hours just to catch a ferry. For (Jerny’s) journeys inland, that was always (a stick coach) the stagecoach公共马车, but the ride was by no means comfortable because (they) it had to (share) be shared with other passengers旅客.

Questions 47-50+ q: Q" R' Q# b% s8 e* V
Listen to part of a talk in an art history class.
: L! G7 Q: s. S$ o/ lYou may remember that a few weeks ago, we discussed the question of what the photography is. Is it the art or is it the method of reproducing images?
, u$ ?: k. P5 \+ P( e. |Do photographs belong in the museums or just in our homes? Today I want to talk about a person who trid to make his professional life and answer to such questions. " q6 \. [  c+ I& a0 f3 n& c- q" o
AS went from United States to Germany to study engineering. While he was here, he become interested in photography and began to experiment with his camera. He took pictures under the condition that most of the photographers considered too difficult---he took them at night in the rain and of people and objects reflected in windows. When he returned to the United States, he continued these revolutionary efforts.
/ A1 y' N, J; t. xS was the first person to photograph skyscrapers, clouds and view from the airplane.  v' O5 ?) Z$ _  v7 K( \6 U( I' H
What S was trying to do in these photographs was what he tried to do through all his life - make photograph an art. He felt that photography could be just as good form of self-expression as painting or drawing. For S, his camera was his brush.
- _, A! a% x0 \1 q4 _" I. J8 K+ b4 @: i
While many photographers of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s thought their works as reproduction of identical images, S saw his as a creative art form.
2 C$ O7 d3 |4 h; @6 y# F3 \He understood the power of the camera to capture the moment.) f3 `/ c* V0 v: P7 |
In fact, he never retouched his prints or made copies of them.
4 s3 f9 C& \5 k2 g- W; y+ K# YIf he were in this classroom today, I am sure he’d say, well, painters don't normally make extra copies of their paintings, do they?

Question 40-43
5 I6 f% b& M: ~0 Y- \% c; UListen to a student report in United States history class.5 x0 w; q' _, R
So as Jim said, James Polk was 11th President, and that my report’s about the next President---Zachary Taylor.
3 e5 k7 B# V7 `3 d' I9 XTaylor was elected in 1849. It’s surprising because… well, he was the first President that didn’t have any previous political experience. The main reason he was choose as the candidate was because he was a war hero.0 N( W7 e+ E5 e* o7 \8 t6 @- Y5 @# G
In the army, his men called him Old Rough and Ready, I guess because of his rough edges：透彻、深刻的特性.
, Y. y! e0 \" ^% {: rHe was kind of blunt and he didn't really look like a military hero.* s! X* h; \) g# S3 R+ i. d+ N
He liked to do things like wear civilian clothes instead of uniform, even in battle.! [2 H" b  B( S/ O
And he was so short and plump圆胖的 he had to be lifted up 提起onto his horse.
. g  J" Y$ }7 F5 ~$ MBut he did win a lot of battles and he became more and more popular. ; i2 |, x7 ~2 ?+ _+ F, _
So, the Whig辉格党party decided to the nominate him for the presidency, even though no one knew anything about where he stood on the issues.
, y5 V& S9 E6 N$ v  z  B+ \% ]I couldn't find much about these accomplishments, probably because he was only in office about a year and half before he died.7 W/ `! J1 G! r+ n
But one thing he pushed for the development of transcontinental 横贯大陆的 railroad because he thought it was a link with the West Coast---there was a lot of wealth in California and Oregon俄勒冈州from commerce and minerals and stuff. Also, he established an agricultural bureau in the development of the Interior and promoted more government aid to agriculture.
9 C. b# g7 J3 V$ YWell, that’s about all I found. Like I said, he died in office in 1850, so his Vice President took over, and that’s the next report, so… thank you.

我也是在职啊,我会监督你的,呵呵,add oil together!

我也是工作了的，我们大家一起加油！可以多交流心得阿。
