听力原文: Perth is actually a very young city which sits on the north bank of the Swan River. I'm sure many of you have already seen it. Less than 200 years ago the entire city center was an undeveloped wetland. Perth was founded by the British as the Swan River settlement in 1829, although the Dutch had visited other parts of the state much earlier. It grew quite slowly in the beginning, mostly because it was so isolated. There were constant problems with communications, and labor was always in short supply. Then in the 1890s gold was discovered in Western Australia and Perth boomed.
Anyway, there are now around 1.4 million people living in Perth and its suburbs. The city itself has sprawled in all directions and it will take you months to see it all. It stretches from the Darling Ranges—chain of hills—n the east, to the Indian Ocean in the West. It has swallowed Perth's southern sister city, Fremantle and almost reaches the small township of Yanchep in the north.

Studying in Sydney, Australia—an Overview for International Students
Australia has been a popular choice for thousands of international students over many years. Australia's universities and colleges have become increasingly recognized overseas for their exceptionally high standard. In addition, Australia is conveniently close to South-East Asia (Jakarta, the capital of Australia's closest Asian neighbor, Indonesia, is only 5,506 kilometers from Sydney). Revised entry procedures for overseas students have made it possible for an increasing number to study in Australia. Sydney, the largest Australian city, is the principal port of call for international airlines with services operating to Australia.
Named after an ex-Governor of New South Wales, Sydney is the state's capital, city. Located in the south-east of Australia in the temperate zone (温带), it enjoys a mild climate, averaging 14.5 hours of sunshine per day in summer and 10.25 hours in winter. It is also the largest, oldest, and perhaps most beautifully situated city in Australia. First established by the British as a convict settlement in 1788, it is a modem cosmopolitan (世界性的) city that has developed into one of the nation's major industrial, business, and manufacturing centers.
Sydney is home to nearly 4.4 million people (as of 1997). The suburbs reach out from the city center and harbor some 55 km to the north, 35 km to the west and 30 km to the south, creating a metropolitan (大城市) area of about 3,000 square kilometers. The 57 square kilometer harbor is one of the largest in the world, and famous for the unmistakable 134 meter high arch of the Harbor Bridge and the graceful sails of the Opera House. It is a busy waterway with ferries, freighters, hydrofoils (水翼船) and pleasure craft.
Not far from the city center are the attractive old residential suburbs of Balmain, Glebe, and Paddington, where many people live in smart terraced houses, art galleries, pubs, and restaurants abound in(充满)the cozy streets that tend to be quite narrow, whereas the suburbs surrounding the city's colleges and universities consist mainly of family homes and multiunit blocks, an ideal situation for students looking for a home-stay, or to rent. Sydney's newer suburbs now have a large multicultural population, and local shopping centers reflect the influences of many cultures.
Sydney is home to the State Art Gallery of New South Wales, the state Conservatorium of Music, the Australian Opera, the Sydney Dance Company, and the Australian Ballet. The world-class Sydney Symphony Orchestra offers superb classical music all year round. Local theatre is innovative and well supported, and large-scale overseas productions tour regularly.
As well as scores of cinemas and theatres throughout the city and suburbs, there are numerous clubs which appeal to people of all ages, and cater for (迎合) all tastes. Pubs are the venue (集合地点) for smaller modern bands, while the big-name popular music artists, both local and international, attract capacity audiences at the huge Entertainment Center in the heart of the city.
Dining out
In Sydney, a vast array of ethnic and local restaurants can be found to suit all palates (口味) and pockets. In summer, caf6 patrons (顾客) often sit outside at tables under umbrellas, and enjoy the passing parade of shoppers. Students who prefer to cook at home can choose from several large weekend markets, where fresh fruit, fish, and vegetables may he bought more cheaply than at the local supermarket. Sydney also has its own Chinatown.
Shopper's delight
In the heart of the city are several big department stores linked by enclosed over-the-street crossings and underground walkways. Most noticeable are the towering Centrepoint Complex and the Queen Victoria Building, both containing many shopping arcades (拱廊), coffee shops and restaurants. Out

Ray Kroc, a milk shake machine salesman, saw the massive potential of the brothers' business and decided to get involved. He purchased the rights from the brothers, on April 15th, 1955. He became the McDonald brothers' first franchisee when he opened his own McDonald's restaurant in Des Plaines, a suburb just north of Chicago.
The entry of Ray Kroc into the business contributed to the development in the history of McDonald's. He bought the rights to expand the McDonald's concept outside of California and Arizona, and quickly built the restaurant chain and by 1959 over 100 restaurants were in operation.
What is the secret of Ray Kroc? As a matter of fact, the restaurant was a favor for many of the local teens at first and the menu was primarily barbeque items. Eight years later, the restaurant was closed for several months as it was renovated to become a restaurant that served food and was easy to prepare and served quickly. The food was very limited including Hamburgers, French fries and cold drinks. The employees prided themselves on creating an assembly line type of food preparation and being speedy in getting their food to the customers. The very basic step paved the path to glory. It separated McDonald's from the rest of the competitors and attributes to their great success. The restaurant proved to be an instant success.
By 1984, McDonald's served 17 million customers a day that was equivalent to serving lunch to the entire population of Australia and New Zealand. Today, McDonald's becomes one of the most famous and successful "fast food" chain in America and the world. McDonald's restaurants are now located in 31,000 locations all over the world, and the company employs more than 1. 5 million people. Just have a look at its development in UK. In September 2004 the UK company-owned restaurants employed 43, 491 people: 40, 699 hourly-paid restaurant employees, 2, 292 restaurant managers, and 500 office staff. McDonald's franchisees employed a further 25,000 people.
Which of the following about McDonald's is true?
A.It is started by brothers McDonald and Ray Kroc.
B.It is highly welcomed at the beginning.
C.Its barbeque is the most favorable among people.
D.Its prosperousness is mostly due to Ray Kroc.
