【题目】 I have just been to the opening ceremony for a new exhibition of early French photographs. Some of them are really beautiful. A French photographer made some very interesting comments about them. Then I went to look at some of my favorite exhibits: a photograph by Lewis Carroll, who wrote the Alice series and also loved cameras and photography, and the Baker’s Boy, a very interesting picture from the 1860s.

There is so much to see. And the museum has three historic firsts: the world’s first negative(底片), the first moving picture and the first shots taken for television.

Before I show you around, let me just tell you something about the museum. The National Museum of Photography, Film and Television was first set up in 1983. We have three million different items in different categories(类别). We store a lot of our collection in special rooms to keep it safe, but there is still a lot to see. We are the most visited museum in the UK outside London. We attract over a million visitors a year, and most of them report that they really enjoyed their visits.

Take the train. It’s very easy. Just go through the city centre square outside the museum and it’s a three-minute walk to Forster Square Station. By the way, before you leave, take a look at the gift shop. It’s rather special. It’s rather great. The kids are loving it.

There will soon be a new attraction here. We will open Experience TV. It will be really interactive. Visitors will be able to use the equipment and go in front of the camera to read the news or present the weather. It will be great fun and very educational.

We have many treasures. There is the Talbot Collection. He was one of the inventors of photography and we have his pictures, letters and notebooks. And we have all the photos taken for a newspaper which was popular from 1912 until the 1960s. Researchers keep on finding new things in it.

【题目】Jerry: Hello, will you tell me something about Tae Kwon Do?

Kim: Yes, of course. You know it is one of the martial arts(武术) of Asia. Tae Kwon Do comes from ancient Korea, but is now popular all over the world. There are different types, but the important thing is that the leg, not the arm, is used most for fighting. The leg is the strongest and longest part of the body and, if you use it carefully, you can defeat(打败) your enemy. Of course, we use the leg to kick. There are three kicks we use. There is a fourth, but it can kill people and is not used in the sport.

Jerry: Do you know that kick?

Kim: No, only a few champions(冠军) with great skill learn it.

Jerry: Tell me about the belts(腰带).

Kim: Yes, beginners have white belts to show they know nothing. Then you move through a number of colors. Different schools of Tae Kwon Do are different. My school has ten colors. The top level is black. And there are nine types of black belts. The very top are the Grand Masters. I will never be one of those!

Jerry: How many Grand Masters are there?

Kim: I think there are twenty. I will give you my Tae Kwon Do Yearbook. The different belts are described there and there is a list of Grand Masters.

Jerry: Who can enjoy Tae Kwon Do?

Kim: In the past, Tae Kwon Do was for men, but now it is for boys and girls. If you are strong, want a chance for exercise and enjoy skill, it is a good sport for you. I think it attracts serious people as you need discipline(训练;纪律) and a lot of thoughts. It is not like football, running around, shouting and having fun.

Jerry: What happens in a match?

Kim: Two people fight. They must follow rules. If you touch the right part of the other persons body, you get a point. You lose points if you break any rules. There are three two-minute fights in each match.

Jerry: This is all very interesting. I think my project will be good.

Kim: Sorry, I must go now. It is my turn. I will talk to you later.
