[00:25.19]At the end of each conversation, [00:27.85]one or more questions will be asked about what was said. [00:31.48]Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. [00:36.26]After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, [00:41.30]you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D), [00:46.36]and decide which is the best answer. [00:48.95]Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer [00:53.03]Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. [00:57.30]Now, let’s begin with the eight short conversations. [01:01.11]11. M: Honey, you’ve got to drink lots of water. [01:06.52]It will wash away the infection in your eyes. [01:09.72]W: I have been doing that all these days and I feel much better. [01:14.28]Q: Why does the woman drink so much water? [01:30.95]12. M: Hello, Mary, this is Dam Morrison from the office. [01:37.77]I’m calling to see how Tom is feeling today. [01:40.74]If he is not so well, [01:43.14]I may arrange someone else to do his work instead. [01:45.55]W: Oh, hello, Mr. Morrison. [01:47.71]The doctor said he’d be able to go back to work tomorrow. [01:51.68]Q: What can we learn about Tom from the conversation? [02:09.80]13. M: How are you going with your English morning report? [02:15.02]It is your turn next Monday morning. [02:17.41]Usually you do everything very well, [02:20.01]so all of us are expecting your presentation. [02:22.98]W: I have spent a whole week searching online for [02:25.92]the related information but nothing valuable came up. [02:29.95]Q: How did the woman go with her morning report? [02:48.17]14. M: Before the weather report, could you tell me some road news? [02:53.73]W: Yes, well, the A41 is still very busy at the Dome corner this morning. [02:59.55]Another traffic jam we have is in the A1M up near Hatfield, Harrow Road. [03:06.27]The A404, Harrow Road is now flowing freely, no problems there. [03:11.99]Q: What do we learn about the roads from the conversation? [03:30.50]15. M: Maybe we could do something this weekend. [03:35.19]I like sports. I play tennis and baseball. [03:38.72]I love bicycling and hiking. [03:41.31]Hey, let’s go hiking. Or maybe we could go bowling. [03:45.91]W: I am not much of an outdoors person. [03:48.67]Q: What will they most probably do together this weekend? [04:07.20]16. W: The problem is that I don’t get paid until tomorrow, [04:12.38]but I must register for Dr. Johnson’s class. [04:15.61]Could you hold a place for me? [04:17.64]M: I’m sure you know that [04:19.07]we are not permitted to reserve seats in a class without full payment. [04:23.80]You’ll have to wait and take your chances. [04:26.57]Q: What does the man mean? [04:43.06]17. M: Do you, uh, mind if I join you? [04:48.50]Allow me to introduce myself. [04:51.22]My name is Bill. And I am a student. [04:54.03]I am studying business… [04:55.62]W: Uh, I’m sorry. I’m on vacation, [04:58.31]and I really just want to read the newspaper. Do you mind? [05:02.28]Q: What can be inferred from the conversation? [05:20.00]18. M: I’m really exhausted. [05:24.15]But I don’t want to miss the performance of [05:26.33]the disabled artists in the hall at 8 o’clock. [05:29.73]W: If I were you, [05:30.89]I would stay at the dormitory and watch it on the campus net. [05:35.10]Q: What does the woman mean? [05:52.00]Now you’ll hear two long conversations. [05:55.25]Conversation One [05:57.06]W: Hello, Steve? [05:59.12]M: Hi, Veronica. What’s going on? [06:01.53]W: Oh, my car’s having problems again, [06:04.24]but I don’t have the time or the money to get it fixed. [06:07.75]M: Is it really bad? [06:09.47]W: It’s starting to overheat whenever [06:11.70]I’m idling or in heavy traffic, [06:14.20]and two days ago I had to pull off the expressway and [06:17.86]wait until the engine cooled down. [06:20.07]M: Have you taken it into a shop? [06:22.23]W: Well, I went to two different places yesterday; [06:25.11]one mechanic said he’d check the coolant level and look for fluid leaks; [06:30.23]the other guy said he thought it was the true reason. [06:33.42]I didn’t leave the car with either of them, though, [06:36.24]because I didn’t have a ride back. [06:38.67]M: What are you going to do? [06:40.36]W: I really don’t know. [06:42.27]I’ll have to figure out something; [06:44.20]the bus service is terrible around where I live. [06:47.74]Anyway, could I ask you for a favor? [06:50.46]M: Of course, what is it? [06:52.62]W: You know, tomorrow’s Monday and [06:54.55]we’re supposed to turn in our homework in English, [06:57.56]but I’ve only gotten halfway through it — I’ve just been too busy. [07:01.62]If I came over, would you help me finish it? [07:04.87]M: Sure, I’ll be here all evening. [07:07.62]And actually I haven’t finished the homework either; [07:10.87]I’ve just been putting it off, [07:12.72]so it’s good you’re coming over — I need someone to motivate me. [07:16.75]W: Thank you so much, Steve. It’s so nice of you. See you later. [07:20.68]Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard. [07:27.50]19. How did the woman deal with her car after something was wrong with it? [07:49.00]20. Which of the following is true about the place where the woman lives? [08:09.91]21. Why is the man happy about the woman’s coming? [08:28.85]Conversation Two [08:30.85]M: Why, Mary Smith. I haven’t seen you for ages. How have you been? [08:36.86]W: John, John Brown. It has been a long time, [08:40.01]hasn’t it? It must be at least a year. [08:42.77]M: No, we talked at the Johnson’s Christmas party last December. [08:47.49]Don’t you remember? [08:48.25]W: That’s right. Well, how are you? [08:50.31]Still working for the Jones and French Company? [08:53.55]M: No, I changed jobs about 3 months ago. [08:56.74]I’m with the National Bank now. How about you? [09:00.24]W: I’m still teaching at the university. [09:02.74]But I switched from the German department to the Spanish department. [09:06.87]M: Don’t tell me you speak Spanish, too. [09:09.56]W: Sure. I grew up in Spain, you know. [09:12.03]German was what I studied in college, but my Spanish is much better. [09:16.78]M: All I’ve ever managed to learn is a little Italian. [09:20.53]I can get a pizza in Rome, but not much more. [09:24.12]W: Well, how is your family? Are the children all in school now? [09:28.00]M: No, Billy is still at home. [09:30.50]Tom is in the third grade and Jane’s in the second. [09:34.23]Billy could have gone to kindergarten, [09:36.50]but we didn’t want him to start school too early. [09:39.35]So we’re keeping him out until next year. [09:42.00]W: Our two children haven’t started school yet either. [09:45.19]But my daughter Sue will go in the fall, too. [09:48.32]Oh, my husband just came in. [09:50.51]I want to go ask him something. [09:52.38]I’ll talk to you again later, John. [09:54.54]M: It was nice seeing you again, Mary. [09:57.19]Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard. [10:03.57]22. Which company did the man last work for? [10:23.22]23. Which is true about the man’s language level? [10:42.00]24. Which statement about the man’s children is true? [11:02.14]25. Which grade is the woman’s daughter in? [11:20.88]Section B [11:22.79]Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. [11:29.42]At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. [11:34.01]Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. [11:39.14]After you hear a question, [11:41.76]you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). [11:48.77]Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer [11:52.00]Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. [11:55.19]Passage One [11:57.06]Let children learn to judge their own work． [12:00.40]A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time： [12:05.50]if corrected too much，he will stop talking． [12:09.03]He notices a thousand times a day the difference between [12:12.68]the language he uses and the language those around him used． [12:17.22]Bit by bit，he makes the necessary changes to [12:20.60]make his language like other people’s． [12:23.07]In the same way，children learning to do all the other things [12:26.91]they learn to do without being taught — [12:29.60]to walk，run，climb，whistle，ride a bicycle — [12:34.32]compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, [12:38.28]and slowly make the needed changes． [12:40.91]But in school we never give a child a chance to find out [12:44.32]his mistakes and correct them for himself．We do it all for him． [12:49.60]We act as if he thought that he would never notice a mistake unless [12:53.85]it was pointed out to him， [12:55.67]or correct it unless he was made to． [12:58.17]Let him work out，with the help of other children if he wants it， [13:02.33]what this word says，what the answers are to that problem， [13:06.26]whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not． [13:09.98]If it is a matter of right answers， [13:12.70]as it may be in mathematics or science， [13:15.11]give him the answer book． [13:17.06]Let him correct his own papers． [13:19.08]Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? [13:22.59]Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that [13:26.29]he can’t find the way to get the right answer． [13:29.07]Let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn， [13:33.60]how to measure their own understanding, [13:36.07]how to know what they know or do not know． [13:39.82]Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. [13:46.32]26. What is the best way for children to learn things? [14:06.27]27. What should teachers do when teaching mathematics? [14:25.87]28. According to the speaker，what should the teachers in school do? [14:46.76]Passage Two [14:48.39]Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being [14:52.26]the normal one and to praise or criticize others as [14:56.05]they are similar to or different from it. Unfortunately, [14:59.64]our picture of the people and the way of life of [15:01.89]other countries is often a distorted one. [15:04.80]Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel [15:08.21]and learning foreign languages. [15:10.62]It is only by traveling in, [15:12.49]or living in a country and getting to know its inhabitants and [15:16.08]their language that one can find out [15:18.37]what a country and its people are really like. [15:21.55]How different the knowledge one gains this way [15:24.49]frequently turns out to be from the second-hand [15:27.31]information gathered from other sources! [15:30.21]How often we find that the foreigners whom [15:32.84]we thought to be such different [15:34.56]people from ourselves are not very different at all! [15:38.46]Differences between peoples do of course exist and, [15:42.34]one hopes, will always continue to do so. [15:45.59]The world will be a dull place indeed when all [15:48.48]the different nationalities behave exactly alike. [15:51.80]Some people might say that [15:53.83]we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. [15:57.01]With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, [16:00.11]there might seem to be some truth in this [16:02.73]at least as far as Europe is concerned. [16:05.18]However this may be, [16:06.77]at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed to more people [16:11.39]than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or [16:15.59]German is not some different kind of animal from themselves. [16:20.27]Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard. [16:26.59]29. What will people know by traveling in a [16:31.53]foreign country and learning its language? [16:48.97]30. What does the speaker think of the knowledge gained [16:52.80]by traveling in a foreign country? [17:09.25]31. What is the result of the great ease of travel in Europe today? [17:30.00]Passage Three [17:31.54]A world-champion body builder has [17:34.00]no more muscles than does a 90-pound weakling. [17:37.96]So what makes him so strong? What other qualities does he need? [17:42.78]Muscles are made of thousands of stringy fibers— [17:47.00]a number that is fixed during childhood—which contract when doing work. [17:52.75]Strength does not depend on the number of fibers but on the function of [17:57.72]their thickness and how many of them contract simultaneously. [18:02.50]Exercise actually damages the muscles. [18:05.60]During the recovery stage, the muscle fibers increase in size. [18:10.41]Exercise also trains more muscle fibers to work at one time. [18:15.19]If a muscle is weak or untrained, for example, [18:18.94]only about 10 percent of its fibers will contract, [18:22.72]whereas up to 90 percent of the fibers [18:25.57]in a weight lifter’s bulky biceps will contract. [18:29.38]Aside from strength, [18:30.82]two other ingredients go into making an athlete: fitness and endurance. [18:35.79]Fitness is related to the condition of the heart. During exercises, [18:41.35]there is an increase in the amount of returning to [18:44.59]the heart from the muscles. [18:46.67]A typical volume for a runner at rest is about 5 quarts a minutes, [18:50.91]compared with 30 quarts during a vigorous trial. [18:54.51]This greater volume means more work for the heart—a muscular balloon [18:59.85]that expands and contracts to take in and squeeze it out. [19:04.48]Like any other muscle, [19:06.26]the heart enlarges and gets stronger with routine exercise. [19:10.29]Endurance, or the length of time muscles can work, [19:13.92]depends in part on how much fuel—in this case sugar—the muscles can store. [19:19.42]A muscle that is continually exercised until [19:22.98]it is exhausted of sugar tends to store more when [19:26.08]it refuels at the next meal. [19:28.67]And more sugar can translate into greater endurance [19:32.05]the next time the muscle is put to the test. [19:35.49]Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. [19:41.55]32. Why is a world-champion body builder very strong? [20:01.86]33. What does an athlete need according to the passage? [20:22.18]34. How does the heart enlarge and get stronger? [20:41.86]35. What does the passage mainly discuss? [21:01.55]Section C [21:03.37]Directions: In this section, [21:06.73]you will hear a passage three times. [21:09.27]When the passage is read for the first time, [21:12.40]you should listen carefully for its general idea. [21:15.68]When the passage is read for the second time, [21:19.05]you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with [21:24.93]the exact words you have just heard. [21:27.24]For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 [21:32.09]you are required to fill in the missing information. [21:35.77]For these blanks, [21:37.90]you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down [21:42.34]the main points in your own words. [21:44.72]Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, [21:49.16]you should check what you have written. [21:51.81]Now listen to the passage. [21:54.81]With the assassination of President McKinley, [21:58.06]Theodore Roosevelt, not quite 43, [22:01.10]became the youngest President in the Nation’s history. [22:04.50]He brought new excitement and power to the Presidency, [22:08.10]as he vigorously led Congress and the American public toward [22:12.45]progressive reforms and a strong foreign policy. [22:16.05]He took the view that the President should take [22:18.80]whatever action necessary for the public good unless [22:22.64]expressly forbidden by law or [22:25.08]the Constitution.“ I did not misuse power, ” he wrote, [22:29.68]“but I did greatly broaden the use of executive power.” [22:33.71]Roosevelt’s youth differed sharply from that of the log cabin Presidents. [22:38.59]He was born in New York City in 1858 into a wealthy family, [22:43.96]but he too struggled against ill health and in his triumph became [22:48.81]an advocate of the energetic life. [22:51.78]As President, Roosevelt held the ideal that the government should [22:55.65]have the power to deal with conflicting economic forces [22:59.22]in the nation and guarantee justice to each. [23:03.09]Roosevelt’s achievements are numerous. [23:05.72]He won the Nobel Peace Prize for mediating the Russo-Japanese War, [23:10.56]reached a Gentleman’s Agreement on immigration with Japan, [23:14.60]and sent the Great White Fleet on a goodwill tour of the world. [23:18.97]Some of his most effective achievements were in conservation. [23:22.76]He added enormously to the national forests in the West, [23:26.88]reserved lands for public use, and fostered great irrigation projects. [23:32.45]Leaving the Presidency in 1909, [23:35.73]Roosevelt went on an African journey and then jumped back into politics. [23:41.07]While running for President again, [23:43.32]he was shot in the chest. [23:45.36]Roosevelt soon recovered, but his words at that time [23:48.51]would have been applicable at the time of his death in 1919:" [23:52.60]No man has had a happier life than I have led; [23:55.95]a happier life in every way.” [23:59.14]Now the passage will be read again. [24:03.82]With the assassination of President McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, [24:08.99]not quite 43, became the youngest President in the Nation’s history. [24:14.15]He brought new excitement and power to the Presidency, [24:17.90]as he vigorously led Congress and the American public [24:21.34]toward progressive reforms and a strong foreign policy. [24:25.62]He took the view that the President should take [24:28.56]whatever action necessary for the public good unless [24:32.46]expressly forbidden by law or the Constitution.“ [24:36.12]I did not misuse power, ” he wrote, “ [24:39.40]but I did greatly broaden the use of executive power.” [24:43.19]Roosevelt’s youth differed sharply from that of the log cabin Presidents. [24:48.25]He was born in New York City in 1858 into a wealthy family, [24:53.50]but he too struggled against ill health and in his triumph became [24:58.35]an advocate of the energetic life. [25:01.56]As President, Roosevelt held the ideal that [25:04.57]the government should have the power to deal with [25:06.81]conflicting economic forces in the nation and guarantee justice to each. [26:22.02]Roosevelt’s achievements are numerous. [26:24.62]He won the Nobel Peace Prize for mediating the Russo-Japanese War, [26:29.65]reached a Gentleman’s Agreement on immigration with Japan, [26:33.69]and sent the Great White Fleet on a goodwill tour of the world. [26:38.03]Some of his most effective achievements were in conservation. [26:41.75]He added enormously to the national forests in the West, [26:45.91]reserved lands for public use, and fostered great irrigation projects. [28:01.11]Leaving the Presidency in 1909, [28:04.04]Roosevelt went on an African journey and then jumped back into politics. [28:08.73]While running for President again, he was shot in the chest. [28:13.23]Roosevelt soon recovered, [28:15.25]but his words at that time would have been applicable [28:17.89]at the time of his death in 1919: “ [29:30.20]No man has had a happier life than I have led; [29:33.42]a happier life in every way.” [29:36.89]Now the passage will be read for the third time. [29:43.27]With the assassination of President McKinley, [29:46.52]Theodore Roosevelt, not quite 43, [29:49.58]became the youngest President in the Nation’s history. [29:52.83]He brought new excitement and power to the Presidency, [29:56.59]as he vigorously led Congress and [29:59.11]the American public toward progressive reforms and [30:02.50]a strong foreign policy. [30:04.56]He took the view that the President should take [30:07.43]whatever action necessary for the public good unless [30:11.34]expressly forbidden by law or the Constitution.“ [30:14.93]I did not misuse power, ” he wrote, “ [30:18.25]but I did greatly broaden the use of executive power.” [30:22.13]Roosevelt’s youth differed sharply from that of the log cabin Presidents. [30:27.09]He was born in New York City in 1858 into a wealthy family, [30:32.34]but he too struggled against ill health and in [30:35.85]his triumph became an advocate of the energetic life. [30:39.92]As President, Roosevelt held the ideal that [30:43.45]the government should have the power to deal with [30:45.67]conflicting economic forces in the nation and guarantee justice to each. [30:51.62]Roosevelt’s achievements are numerous. [30:54.21]He won the Nobel Peace Prize for mediating the Russo-Japanese War, [30:59.21]reached a Gentleman’s Agreement on immigration with Japan, [31:03.09]and sent the Great White Fleet on a goodwill tour of the world. [31:07.34]Some of his most effective achievements were in conservation. [31:11.37]He added enormously to the national forests in the West, [31:15.47]reserved lands for public use, [31:17.94]and fostered great irrigation projects. [31:21.28]Leaving the Presidency in 1909, [31:24.19]Roosevelt went on an African journey and then jumped back into politics. [31:29.28]While running for President again, he was shot in the chest. [31:33.81]Roosevelt soon recovered, but his words at that time [31:37.13]would have been applicable at the time of his death in 1919:“ [31:41.19]No man has had a happier life than I have led; [31:44.60]a happier life in every way.” [31:47.44]This is the end of listening comprehension.

Passage One Let children learn to judge their own work． He notices a thousand times a day the difference between A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time： if corrected too much，he will stop talking． the language he uses and the language those around him used． Bit by bit，he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s． In the same way，children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught — to walk，run，climb，whistle，ride a bicycle — compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes． But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself．We do it all for him． We act as if he thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him， or correct it unless he was made to． Let him work out，with the help of other children if he wants it， If it is a matter of right answers， what this word says，what the answers are to that problem， whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not． as it may be in mathematics or science， give him the answer book． Let him correct his own papers． Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer． Let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn， how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know． Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26. What is the best way for children to learn things? 27. What should teachers do when teaching mathematics? 28. According to the speaker，what should the teachers in school do? Passage Two Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or different from it. Unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of and learning foreign languages. other countries is often a distorted one. Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel It is only by traveling in, or living in a country and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. How different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different at all! Differences between peoples do of course exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike. Some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves. Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard. 29. What will people know by traveling in a foreign country and learning its language? 30. What does the speaker think of the knowledge gained by traveling in a foreign country? 31. What is the result of the great ease of travel in Europe today? Passage Three A world-champion body builder has no more muscles than does a 90-pound weakling. So what makes him so strong? What other qualities does he need? Muscles are made of thousands of stringy fibers— a number that is fixed during childhood—which contract when doing work. Strength does not depend on the number of fibers but on the function of their thickness and how many of them contract simultaneously. Exercise actually damages the muscles. During the recovery stage, the muscle fibers increase in size. Exercise also trains more muscle fibers to work at one time. If a muscle is weak or untrained, for example, only about 10 percent of its fibers will contract, whereas up to 90 percent of the fibers in a weight lifter’s bulky biceps will contract. Aside from strength, two other ingredients go into making an athlete: fitness and endurance. Fitness is related to the condition of the heart. During exercises, there is an increase in the amount of returning to the heart from the muscles. A typical volume for a runner at rest is about 5 quarts a minutes, compared with 30 quarts during a vigorous trial. This greater volume means more work for the heart—a muscular balloon that expands and contracts to take in and squeeze it out. Like any other muscle, the heart enlarges and gets stronger with routine exercise. Endurance, or the length of time muscles can work, depends in part on how much fuel—in this case sugar—the muscles can store. A muscle that is continually exercised until it is exhausted of sugar tends to store more when it refuels at the next meal. And more sugar can translate into greater endurance the next time the muscle is put to the test. Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 32. Why is a world-champion body builder very strong? 33. What does an athlete need according to the passage? 34. How does the heart enlarge and get stronger? 35. What does the passage mainly discuss? When the passage is read for the first time, Section C Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written. Now listen to the passage. With the assassination of President McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, not quite 43, as he vigorously led Congress and the American public toward became the youngest President in the Nation’s history. He brought new excitement and power to the Presidency, progressive reforms and a strong foreign policy. He took the view that the President should take whatever action necessary for the public good unless expressly forbidden by law or the Constitution.“ I did not misuse power, ” he wrote, “but I did greatly broaden the use of executive power.” Roosevelt’s youth differed sharply from that of the log cabin Presidents. He was born in New York City in 1858 into a wealthy family, but he too struggled against ill health and in his triumph became an advocate of the energetic life. As President, Roosevelt held the ideal that the government should have the power to deal with conflicting economic forces in the nation and guarantee justice to each. Roosevelt’s achievements are numerous. He won the Nobel Peace Prize for mediating the Russo-Japanese War, reached a Gentleman’s Agreement on immigration with Japan, and sent the Great White Fleet on a goodwill tour of the world. Some of his most effective achievements were in conservation. He added enormously to the national forests in the West, reserved lands for public use, and fostered great irrigation projects. Leaving the Presidency in 1909, Roosevelt went on an African journey and then jumped back into politics. While running for President again, he was shot in the chest. Roosevelt soon recovered, but his words at that time would have been applicable at the time of his death in 1919:" No man has had a happier life than I have led; a happier life in every way.” Now the passage will be read again. not quite 43, became the youngest President in the Nation’s history.
