The jewellery designer
He was young and completely unknown, but Paul Waterhouse believed in himself. He'd heard that there was going to be a large exhibition for jewellery designers and he asked the organisers whether he could show some of his work. 'I was only 21,' he says, 'and they agreed, if I could show a complete collection.' So he went to the bank, borrowed £1,500 for materials, and began to work on new designs. 'The exhibition was fantastic. Although everyone else was much more experienced than I was, my designs were still praised.'
He decided to transfer his business to Canada and began to experiment with new materials: all sorts of stones from around the world, some totally new to him. 'As most of them weren't precious, it changed the way I approached design. It was great! I was able to produce much larger pieces of modern jewellery,' he says. 'Then I was asked by an advertising agency to design a wedding ring for a TV advert. The agency liked what I'd done, but their client, a car manufacturer, wanted something a little more traditional. I was happy to make changes and that work gave me a lot of free publicity.'
At the start of his career, Paul felt confident.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Doesn't say

The first lift was just a box suspended on a rope. Using a series of pulleys, a group of oxen ox strong men would pull the rope end lift the box to a higher point. Lifts were used only for heavy materials, not passengers. Even in the nineteenth century, when steam power was used to operate the lifts, people didn't ride them. They didn't trust the rope that held the box.
In 1853, Elisha G. Otis invented the first safe lift. He showed his invention in New York at the Crystal Palace Exhibition. At the exhibition, Otis was pulled up in an open box that was attached to two guide mils. When he was lifted far above the spectators, he gave the order to cat the rope. To the amazement of the crowd, the lift did not fall straight downward to the floor. Instead, it was held fast to the guide rails by a certain device. He had built powerful metal clamps on the carriage as a safety measure. The demonstration worked, and people have been riding as passengers in elevators ever since.

听力原文: I wonder how many of you would want to work in a tall building such as the Empire State Building if you had to climb 102 flights of stairs to reach the top. Not many, I imagine. If it were not for the invention of elevators, or lifts, tall buildings would be unusable.

The man who runs the Attic Hall Hotel is Nils Yngve Bergqvist. He built his first ice building for an art exhibition in 1991 and he designed the present hotel—over 200 meters square—himself. It took workmen about two months to pile 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base. As the weather got colder, the snow froze and then they removed the base. The whole building and everything in it are made of snow—except for the wooden front door. There's a theatre which Nils uses for a jazz club, a radio station and a large ice bar. As you can imagine, hot drinks are popular with the guests! The rooms have no doors; there's no furniture, no heating and everyone sleeps on ice beds. But the 800 people who stayed at the hotel this winter seemed to like it. If you want to stay in one of the ten ice rooms, it will cost you about £30 a night. You will receive a survival certificate from the manager.
When the winter's over, Nils holds his annual contest to predict the day that the hotel will fall. The person that guessed the day correctly last year receives a large painting from an ARTic Hall exhibition. Nils's ice hotel is becoming world-famous and he loves his work.. He's already excited about his next project — an ice hotel that will have more complicated architectural features and, he says, will be bigger and better.
What do we know about the Artic Hall Hotel?
A.It is completely made of snow.
B.It is designed by Nils's friend.
C.It is built once a year.
D.It has a wooden base.
