[03:15.02]1.What changes happened with the Industrial Revolution?
[03:21.13]2.What do you know aobut the development of industry in China?
[03:27.75]The Industrial Revolution
[03:31.43]In Europe, in the second half of the eighteenth century,
[03:36.59]there was an important change in society.
[03:39.54]This change was called the "Industrial Revolution".
[03:43.70]Until then Europe had been a farming society.
[03:48.09]With the Industrial Revolution,
[03:50.45]factories appeared and mass production became possible
[03:54.49]for the first time.
[03:55.50]The factories were built in towns and as a result,
[04:00.57]the population of towns and cities greatly increased.
[04:04.25]These changes became possible because of inventions
[04:09.46]such as the steam engine.
[04:10.89]This was invented in 1769 by James Watt
[04:15.55]and was the main energy source during the Industrial Revolution.
[04:20.04]At first the steam engine was used in mines,
[04:24.12]but it was soon used in factories and on the railways.
[04:27.81]Duringthe Industrial Revolution,
[04:31.12]factory owners became more powerful than land owners.
[04:35.40]Thousands of people left the countryside to work in the city.
[04:39.54]Often,factory workers lived in poor and crowded conditions.
[04:44.29]From 1830 to the early 20th century,
[04:48.52]the Industrial Revolution spread through Europe and the US
[04:52.59]and then to other countries such as Japan.

[07:02.91]The Three Gorges Dam
[07:05.28]Mao Zedong wrote a poem in which he dreamed of
[07:10.68]"walls of stone to hold back clouds
[07:14.36]and rain till a smooth lake rises in the narrow gorges".
[07:19.18]Now his dream has come true.
[07:22.10]The power of the Yangtze River,
[07:25.51]which is the world's third longest river,
[07:28.20]has been harnessed by the Three Gorges Dam.
[07:32.20]The Three Gorges Dam,
[07:35.79]which is the biggest construction project in China
[07:38.61]since the building of the Great Wall and the Grand Canal,
[07:42.20]has been built to control flooding
[07:45.24]and provide hydro-electric power for the central region of China.
[07:49.93]The dam is nearly 200 metres high and 1.5 kilometres wide.
[07:57.59]It is the largest hydro-electric power station
[08:01.43]and dam in the world
[08:03.59]and has cost more than any other construction project in history.
[08:08.40]Sun Yat-sen, who was the leader of the 1911 Revolution,
[08:14.93]first suggested the idea of a dam across the Yangtze River in 1919.
[08:21.45]Three quarters of China's energy is produced by burning coal.
[08:26.95]In 1993, China used 1.2 billion tons of coal for heating
[08:34.25]and generating electricity.
[08:35.83]Unfortunately,burnin g coal causes serious air pollution
[08:41.56]and increases global warming.
[08:44.15]The dam will generate electricity equal to
[08:48.52]about 40 million tons of coal without causing so much air pollution.
[08:53.83]The reservoir has flooded 2 cities,11 counties,
[09:00.51]140 towns and more than 4,000 villages.
[09:05.28]More than a million people who lived in the region
[09:09.47]have moved from their homes.
[09:11.57]Now they're living a happy new life in different areas.
[09:15.69]The Three Gorges area is one of the most beautiful areas of China
[09:21.94]and the project has flooded some of China's most famous historical sites,
[09:27.47]including the Qu Yuan Temple, the Han Watchtower
[09:32.03]and the Moya Cliff carvings.
[09:33.86]About 800 historical relics have been submerged.
[09:38.93]Some of them are being removed and some are being put into museums.

[14:46.70]1.For how long was the Empire State Building
[14:52.15]the tallest building in the world?
[14:54.22]2. Why do you think there are so many tall buildings in the world now?
[15:01.11]The Empire State Building,New York
[15:05.73]Most of the tallest buildings in the world
[15:09.77]were built in the 1990s and in the twenty-first century,
[15:14.43]but the two tallest buildings in the US were built much earlier.
[15:19.50]In fact, the second tallest building in the US
[15:23.61]is more than 75 years old!
[15:26.28]The Empire State Building,
[15:29.63]which was the tallest building at the time was finished in May 1931.
[15:35.38]It was the tallest building in the world
[15:38.77]until the World Trade Centre was built in New York in 1972.
[15:43.86]The World Trade Centre twin towers,
[15:47.63]which were destroyed in September 2001,
[15:50.90]were 417 and 415 metres high.
[15:56.00]Facts about the Empire State Building:
[16:02.17]Ten million bricks were used in the construction of the building
[16:05.96]There are 6,500 windows.
[16:11.10]From the observatory at the top,
[16:14.96]on a clear day you can see five US states.
[16:18.96]Lightning strikes the Empire State Building about 500 times a year.
[16:25.71]In 1945, a US military plane,
[16:31.92]which was flying over Manhattan on a foggy day,
[16:34.83]crashed into the building just above the 78th floor.

[19:04.94]Read the passage,an article written by a student called Mark.
[19:09.69]Number these countries in the order that Mark visited them.
[19:13.81]My Gap Year
[19:16.26]I decided to spend a year between school and university
[19:21.71]travelling round the world.
[19:23.62]I worked hard and saved quite a lot of money for the trip.
[19:28.10]I started my trip in France and after visiting the capital Paris,
[19:34.97]I travelled down to the south of France,
[19:38.34]which is known for its lovely beaches.
[19:40.88]Then I spent a month walking in the mountains
[19:44.75]in northern Italy.
[19:46.47]I then travelled to Rome, the capital of Italy,
[19:50.90]and spent a week visiting the city's wonderful art galleries,
[19:55.59]churches and museums.
[19:57.22]From there I flew to Athens, Greece,
[20:02.32]and took a boat to a small Greek island.
[20:05.92]I had planned to meet a friend of mine there
[20:09.52]and we took an apartment on a beach
[20:12.10]and had a wonderful time swimming and sunbathing.
[20:15.47]Next,I flew to India,and travelled round it for about three months.
[20:22.37]Although the cities were crowded, the countryside was beautiful.
[20:27.45]I stayed in a small fishing village on the west coast
[20:31.79]and it was the happiest time of my life.
[20:35.04]I then flew to northeast India,
[20:38.74]where there had been a terrible flood three months ago.
[20:41.77]The water had gone but the damage to crops
[20:45.95]and homes was terrible.
[20:47.81]I then flew to China, a country I had always wanted to visit.
[20:54.47]I saw Beijing, of course, and the Great Wall,
[20:58.72]and also took a trip to see some villages
[21:02.28]on the Yangtze River which would soon be under water
[21:05.90]because of the Three Gorges Dam.
[21:08.38]While I was in China,I read a lot about ancient Chinese history
[21:14.52]and became particularly interested in the ideas
[21:18.44]of the great philosopher Confucius.
[21:20.60]Then I flew to Japan where I spent two interesting weeks.
[21:27.32]I was astonished to see that some people in the big cities
[21:31.94]wear masks to protect their lungs from pollution.
[21:35.84]I hope that never happens in my city!
[21:38.72]Then, at last, I flew all the way home again.
[21:43.90]It had been a great experience,
[21:46.63]but, yes, it was good to be home!

[07:35.79]which is the biggest construction project in China
[07:38.61]since the building of the Great Wall and the Grand Canal,
[07:42.20]has been built to control flooding
[07:45.24]and provide hydro-electric power for the central region of China.
[07:49.93]The dam is nearly 200 metres high and 1.5 kilometres wide.
[07:57.59]It is the largest hydro-electric power station
[08:01.43]and dam in the world
[08:03.59]and has cost more than any other construction project in history.
[08:08.40]Sun Yat-sen, who was the leader of the 1911 Revolution,
[08:14.93]first suggested the idea of a dam across the Yangtze River in 1919.
[08:21.45]Three quarters of China's energy is produced by burning coal.
[08:26.95]In 1993, China used 1.2 billion tons of coal for heating
[08:34.25]and generating electricity.
[08:35.83]Unfortunately,burnin g coal causes serious air pollution
[08:41.56]and increases global warming.
[08:44.15]The dam will generate electricity equal to
[08:48.52]about 40 million tons of coal without causing so much air pollution.
[08:53.83]The reservoir has flooded 2 cities,11 counties,
[09:00.51]140 towns and more than 4,000 villages.
[09:05.28]More than a million people who lived in the region
[09:09.47]have moved from their homes.
[09:11.57]Now they're living a happy new life in different areas.
[09:15.69]The Three Gorges area is one of the most beautiful areas of China
[09:21.94]and the project has flooded some of China's most famous historical sites,
[09:27.47]including the Qu Yuan Temple, the Han Watchtower
[09:32.03]and the Moya Cliff carvings.
[09:33.86]About 800 historical relics have been submerged.
[09:38.93]Some of them are being removed and some are being put into museums.

[13:43.40]with non-defining relative clauses.
[13:46.27]1.The tallest building that I have seen
[13:51.16]is the Empire State Building in New York.
[13:54.65]2.The Grand Canal,

[14:03.78]was built in the fifth century BC.
[14:06.88]3.The Three Gorges Dam is a hydro-electric project
[14:14.47]which has brought an end to the danger of flooding.
[14:17.12]4.There is a boat
[14:22.60]which takes you all the way along the Yangtze River.
[14:25.76]5.The river, which is the third longest in the world,
[14:34.04]is an absolutely beautiful place to visit.
[14:37.09]Culture Corn
[14:42.38]Read about the passage and answer these questions.
[14:46.70]1.For how long was the Empire State Building
[14:52.15]the tallest building in the world?
[14:54.22]2. Why do you think there are so many tall buildings in the world now?
[15:01.11]The Empire State Building,New York
[15:05.73]Most of the tallest buildings in the world
[15:09.77]were built in the 1990s and in the twenty-first century,
[15:14.43]but the two tallest buildings in the US were built much earlier.
[15:19.50]In fact, the second tallest building in the US
[15:23.61]is more than 75 years old!
[15:26.28]The Empire State Building,
[15:29.63]which was the tallest building at the time was finished in May 1931.
[15:35.38]It was the tallest building in the world
[15:38.77]until the World Trade Centre was built in New York in 1972.
[15:43.86]The World Trade Centre twin towers,
[15:47.63]which were destroyed in September 2001,
[15:50.90]were 417 and 415 metres high.
[15:56.00]Facts about the Empire State Building:
[16:02.17]Ten million bricks were used in the construction of the building
[16:05.96]There are 6,500 windows.
[16:11.10]From the observatory at the top,
[16:14.96]on a clear day you can see five US states.
[16:18.96]Lightning strikes the Empire State Building about 500 times a year.
[16:25.71]In 1945, a US military plane,
[16:31.92]which was flying over Manhattan on a foggy day,
[16:34.83]crashed into the building just above the 78th floor.

[19:04.94]Read the passage,an article written by a student called Mark.
[19:09.69]Number these countries in the order that Mark visited them.
[19:13.81]My Gap Year
[19:16.26]I decided to spend a year between school and university
[19:21.71]travelling round the world.
[19:23.62]I worked hard and saved quite a lot of money for the trip.
[19:28.10]I started my trip in France and after visiting the capital Paris,
[19:34.97]I travelled down to the south of France,
[19:38.34]which is known for its lovely beaches.
[19:40.88]Then I spent a month walking in the mountains
[19:44.75]in northern Italy.
[19:46.47]I then travelled to Rome, the capital of Italy,
[19:50.90]and spent a week visiting the city's wonderful art galleries,
[19:55.59]churches and museums.
[19:57.22]From there I flew to Athens, Greece,
[20:02.32]and took a boat to a small Greek island.
[20:05.92]I had planned to meet a friend of mine there
[20:09.52]and we took an apartment on a beach
[20:12.10]and had a wonderful time swimming and sunbathing.
[20:15.47]Next,I flew to India,and travelled round it for about three months.
[20:22.37]Although the cities were crowded, the countryside was beautiful.
[20:27.45]I stayed in a small fishing village on the west coast
[20:31.79]and it was the happiest time of my life.
[20:35.04]I then flew to northeast India,
[20:38.74]where there had been a terrible flood three months ago.
[20:41.77]The water had gone but the damage to crops
[20:45.95]and homes was terrible.
[20:47.81]I then flew to China, a country I had always wanted to visit.
[20:54.47]I saw Beijing, of course, and the Great Wall,
[20:58.72]and also took a trip to see some villages
[21:02.28]on the Yangtze River which would soon be under water
[21:05.90]because of the Three Gorges Dam.
[21:08.38]While I was in China,I read a lot about ancient Chinese history
[21:14.52]and became particularly interested in the ideas
[21:18.44]of the great philosopher Confucius.
[21:20.60]Then I flew to Japan where I spent two interesting weeks.
[21:27.32]I was astonished to see that some people in the big cities
[21:31.94]wear masks to protect their lungs from pollution.
[21:35.84]I hope that never happens in my city!
[21:38.72]Then, at last, I flew all the way home again.
[21:43.90]It had been a great experience,
[21:46.63]but, yes, it was good to be home!
