Transcript — SECTION A. LISTENING (TTS từ transcript)
Dolls have always fascinated me, and that's why, five years ago, I was delighted to be offered the job of running a doll museum. Dolls have existed for thousands of years, and the earliest dolls we know about were found in graves in ancient Egypt. I only wish we could get one or two for our museum, but we haven't unfortunately got anything as old as that in the museum. All the same, we have got examples from Europe from the twelfth century, but my favourite early dolls are actually from the seventeenth century. They interest me not just because they are early, or fairly early, but also because of the clothes they're wearing. They have their original clothes, and from them we know what the owners wore, since dolls in those days were always dressed like their owners. They were made of the only material readily available for things like this at the time: solid wood, and they were painted in great detail. In fact, on the best examples, like the ones in the museum, the detail includes the seventeenth-century make-up. Dolls like these were very expensive then, and only the very rich could afford them. These days, they're popular with collectors and if you want one today, you have to pay anything up to ten thousand pounds for a doll in perfect condition from this time! By the way, what makes them so valuable is that, as far as a collector is concerned, a doll is only worth collecting if it's in perfect condition, and that means having the original clothes. Doll collecting has become very fashionable since the museum opened, with people interested in dolls from every period, including later dolls. There's great interest in nineteenth-century examples, when dolls were no longer made of wood, but began to have soft bodies and real hair. They were very delicate and few have survived, meaning such a doll would be worth about two thousand pounds, perhaps a bit more. Later, in the nineteenth century, you could often take off the doll's hair. If you can, you can often see the maker's name underneath, and of course the right one increases a doll's value. There was a really big change in dolls at the beginning of the twentieth century. In the museum we have one of the earliest examples, from about 1909, of a doll that's a model of a baby. Previously all dolls, the earlier ones, were little adults. That's just one of the changes that have occurred in the last hundred years. Another, again, is to do with what dolls are made of. Although dolls with soft bodies continued, after about 1930, plastic began to be used. In fact, dolls from the 1930s and 40s are now very popular with collectors, some of them selling for very, very high prices.

Error passage (Pyramids):
It seems that the mystery of why the Pyramids were built may have solved. Until quite recently people got used to think that they were just tombs for pharaohs. Instead, the connection with astronomy seems much more important. Egyptologists have often asked them how long it took to build them and why people built them in the first place. Experts came up against a suggestion that the Egyptians may have believed that the River Nile was the earthly equivalent of the Milky Way. Many agree that the sizes of the three Giza Pyramids are in proportion to the three stars of Orion. Nothing, then, was by the chance. Rather, the souls of dead pharaohs were deliberately being projected through shafts to reach his goal of the Orion constellation.

GREEK THEATRES
The word theatre comes from Greek and literally means seeing place. The theatre has (61) popular since ancient times. People did not go to the theatre simply to see an interesting performance for the plays formed part of religious festivals. All early Greek theatres (62) of no more than a flat space with an altar at the foot of a hillside. (63) that time, there were no seats as there (64) in modern theatres, so the audiences stood or sat on the slopes of the hillside. Gradually, special theatres were made (65) building large stone or wooden steps one behind (66) up the hillside. In later times, a hut was built at the far side of the acting area (67) it formed a background for the actors playing the parts of the different characters. Eventually, a raised platform was built (68) that the actors could be seen more clearly. This was the first appearance of anything like our modern stage. As (69) as these permanent theatres, there were simple wooden stages carried around by actors when they performed in different places. There was also a hut with curtains that served (70) as background scenery and as a dressing room.

A study of how often people (74) gratitude found Thank you only once in every 20 interactions. There were some (75) between languages, but even the highest was 14%.

Global reluctance to (78) helpful acts does not indicate rudeness; close-knit groups take co-operation for (79). Social life (80) because it is in our nature to ask for help and pay back in kind.

Winterthur Museum is both a collection and a house. Rarely in the US is a great collection displayed in a great country house. A private estate for more than a century; renovations 1929–1931, yet it remained a family residence — hence the lived-in atmosphere. Like an English country house, it is an organic structure; the house, collection and manner of displaying it have changed with developing concepts of American arts. Period rooms show objects related by style, date, or place of manufacture.

A Family of Worlds:
1 Mercury: day melts metals, night makes rubber brittle; no atmosphere, black sky.
2 Venus: thick atmosphere, baking desert, nothing can live.
3 Mars: redness from oxidization; discredited canal theory.
4 Jupiter: ice-ball, poisonous stormy atmosphere, Great Red Spot >200 years.
5 Saturn/Uranus/Neptune; Saturn’s rings visible even with binoculars.
