  F1 : Good afternoon .In today's class,we're going to continue our discussion of dance around the world with a look at the hula,a dance of the Hawaiian Islands,and we'll see a video of a traditional hula dance.Today,when he hear the word"hula",most of us think of woman in grass skirts swaying to ukulele music while tourists take a pictures.The traditional version though,is quite defferent from the dance as it sis performed today.The traditional hula was danced by both men and women who had been trained at special schools.It was accompanied by rhythmic chanting.The chants and the dances were originally  performed to honor the gods promote fertility,or praise great Hawaiian leaders.The traditional hula was hanned by missionarises from New England around 1820,and the hula dance itself survivedonly in a radically different form.The performance you'll see on the screen this afternoon,though is as much like the original dance as possible.Even the customes the dance

Part B        In part B,you will hear longer conversations.After each conversation,you will be asked some questions.The conversations and questions will be spoken just one time.They will not be written out for you,so you will have to listen carefully in order to understand and remember what the speaker says.     When you hear a question,read the four possible answers in your test book and decide which one would be the best answer sheet,find the number of the problem and fill in space that corresponds to the letter of answer you have chosen. Man :Did you see that TV program last night about the sky diver whose parachutes didn't open after he had jumped from his plane? Woman :No,I didn't.Did he die?

question39 to42 M2:   How many of you were at the football game Saturday night?Did you notice the blimp circling the stadium?Today's blimps are much smaller descendants of the giant airships-sometimes called zeppelins-that were used in the early twentieth century.Like those zeppelins,blimps are lighter-than-air aircraft.But blimps differ from zeppelins in a number of ways.First,as I said they are quite a bit smaller.The old airships were as long as football fields.And unlike zeppelins,blimps do not contain an internal metal frame.That's why blimps are sometimes called"nonrigid"airships.And blimps are a lot safer than the old zeppelins.That's because they use nonflammable belium in place of hydrogen to provide lift.          As you may know the age of the airship ended when the famous German airship Van Hindenburg exploded disastrously at Lakehurt,New Jersey,in 1937.I say that airship travel ended then,but some engineers believe that large,rigid airships will fly
