英語流行話題聽力:Unit 10 美麗的裙子

[00:00.01] Unit 10 A Beautiful Dress My neighbor's eight year-old daughter used to stay in the countryside, her native place. [00:11.37] Recently her parents brought her to town to live with them. [00:15.41] Wild and uneducated, she would swear or use dirty words when she was displeased. [00:22.32] Sometimes she went so far as to roll on the ground, to the shock of all people around. [00:28.07] Her parents tried to tame her by beating and kicking, only to result in more violent outbursts. [00:35.58] Finally they became thoroughly disappointed with her. [00:39.30] One day their next door neighbor, a retired woman teacher, gave the girl a snow white dress, which was very beautiful. [00:48.14] It immediately caught the girl's eyes and made them shine brightly. [00:53.54] The girl put on the dress and became quite another person. [00:58.20] She no longer abused or hit others, even less rolled on the floor. [01:04.06] She knew running wild was beneath her in such a beautiful dress. [01:08.47] Since then the girl had been gentle, neat, and lovely. [01:13.10] The story set me thinking a lot. [01:15.47] Perhaps everyone has a beautiful dress hidden somewhere in his or her heart. [01:21.56] Only some people are not aware of it, forget it or abandon it. [01:27.21] Beauty is a power force or weapon -- that's something unrealized by many of us. [01:34.04] it can arouse fine qualities that humans are born with but have so far hidden somewhere. [01:40.02] It has a soul shaking influence that is indeed unmatched.
