This time I had a three-day tour and I knew there exists something different. I like it better now. W: Really? What is the difference? M: I have seen a lot of fantastic office buildings and some of them are of eco-design. |
三问部分：
Question 1: What does that mean?
Answer 1: It means that the design combines environmentally friendly ideas. I visited one building with eco-designs. They helped cut energy cost greatly. Last year, that building saved up to 20 percent energy cost compared to other ordinary buildings, thanks to the various wonderful designs.
Question 2: What design impressed you most?/ What design impressed you best?/ What is your most impressive design?/ What is the most impressive design for you?
Answer 2: Well, I think what impresses me most is the high-tech curtain wall. For one thing, it is used to adjust temperature automatically in the building. The indoor temperature will not be affected by conditions outside. For another, it enables 90 percent of the office area to enjoy natural sunlight which makes people feel like closer to nature.
Question 3: Are there any other new designs in the building?
Answer 3: Yes, of course. For example, there is only one elevator in the building. Many st
aff have to walk to their offices. At first, some of them complained. But gradually they realized walking is pretty good exercise to keep them fit. Another example is that the parking spaces are reserved mostly for small cars, so the use of small cars is encouraged.

Part C
Tapescript: The Power of Silence Tom was an old man. He lived alone in a small village. His grandchildren visited him during their holidays. It was vacation time again, and Tom was happy receiving his grandchildren at home. The next day, he found his favorite watch missing. The watch was a gift given by his wife when they got married. Tom treasured the watch very much. Now, he was very upset. His grandchildren promised to find the watch for him. Tom told them that he last saw the watch when he was arranging things in the basement. The grandchildren decided to search there for the watch. But they searched for two hours in vain. Tom felt desperate. Then, one grandson volunteered to search the basement again and requested others not to follow him and to remain silent. Although the others were a little surprised, they agreed. The little boy went to the basement and sat in silence. Ten minutes later, he rushed to his grandfather with the watch. Tom was surprised with joy and asked how he found it. The little boy replied, “When it was quiet in the basement, I heard the tick-tick sound and found the watch.” |

They decided to search the basement since that was the last place Tom saw it. After two hours, they still hadn’t found the watch. Tom was desperate. Then one grandson said he would look around the basement again, but the others could not follow him and should keep silent. The little boy went down to the basement and sat in total silence. Ten minutes later, he brought his grandfather’s watch to him. Tom couldn’t believe what was happening. The little grandson said he just listened carefully for the ticking sound of the watch when it was quiet in the basement.
