Part A Reading Aloud
视频原文字幕：
The history of gold is the history of the world. Since earliest times gold has been adored and treasured by man. A symbol of enduring value, gold has been used as a currency for centuries. In 1847 one man found gold in the bed of a Californian river. And so began the Californian Gold Rush. Men came in their thousands and the city that we now know as San Francisco was born. Today most of the world’s gold is found, not in rivers, but deep within the earth. Gold, now even more precious to men than ever.

A House by the Railway
One day Tom traveled by train to some place which had not been well developed. There was one part of the railway which bent sharply, and when the train came near to this part, it had to slow down. When the train slowed down, the passengers caught sight of an ordinary house, which was facing the railway bend. The house was quite ordinary by itself, but it attracted the passengers’ attention because there was no other house nearby in the vast area. Tom was also impressed by the house. He got off the train at the nearest station and managed to find the owner of the house. The
owner of the house told Tom that the noise of the train had caused a lot of trouble for him. He told Tom that he wanted to sell the house, but nobody would like to buy it. Three days later Tom bought the house for only twenty thousand dollars, for no one else wanted to buy it. He then tried his best to persuade some big companies to rent the house. He told the companies that they could put their advertisements on it. Finally a big company decided to pay Tom two hundred thousand dollars for a three-year rent.
