9、ring and summer, an expedition of four men undertook what they believe to have been the first and only plete end-to-end crossing of Moroccos Attora mountains. I talked to Charles Owen, the leader of the expedition group, about the trip. Charles, how much planning went on beforehand? CHARLES Well, as
10、 you know, I run these walking trips across the mountains for tourists and over the years, Ive collected maps and other data to prepare what I call a route book for this trip and this book basically shows the route across the mountains that we took. Q11INTERVIEWER You actually broke records while yo
11、u were out there, didnt you? CHARLES Mmm. Yes, it was 900 miles in total Q12 and we managed to climb 32 peaks that were over 3000 metres high, including Toubkal, which is of course thehighest in North Africa. Q13 We werent actually out to make a name for ourselves - it just happened really. INTERVIE
12、WER What was the. weather like? CHARLES It got us right from day one and we were pretty taken aback really to findthat it rained on quite a number of days, and so we were forced to start Q14re-planning our route almost from the outset. One of the obvious problems is the heavy snow which blocks the m
13、ountain passes, so you have to make considerable detours. When we were on the way to Imilchil, for example, the snow forced us into a northern bypass which was new to us, but anyway, either way we would have been rewarded because we fell upon amazing, high meadows, huge gorges and wonderful snow-cap
14、ped mountains. The scenery was as fine as any we saw on the trip and that was how it was every time - having to take another pass was never adisappointment. Q15INTERVIEWER It was in many ways a social trip, wasnt it? CHARLES Yes, yes . wed arranged to meet up with friends at various points on the .
15、journey. I mean this was actually one of the purposes of the trip . . . and we managed to keep all these dates, Q16 which is amazing really considering the. detours we made. An old friend acted as a sort of transport organiser Q17 for everyone and the Hotel Ali in Marrakech was a good social base -
16、Id really remend it, although I cant remember who runs it. Anyway, groups of friends actually joined us for three-week stints Q18and others just linked up with us. Some, whom we hadnt met before the trip at all, tagged on for short bursts - people from the area - who just came along for the ride. Bu
17、t outside the major visitor areas like Toubkal we only met one other group of travellers like ourselves in the whole 96 days. INTERVIEWER Were there any bad moments? CHARLES We took two, I must say, long-suffering donkeys with us to help transport water and tents and things. I suppose if we were to
18、do it all again wed probably hire donkeys along the way. Taza and Tamri, as we called themafter the last places in the trip, Q19 well, they made quite a unique journey between them, and . . but it was continuously demanding for them. On both the really high summits, they took diversions that were qu
19、ite out of character Q20 and I can only assume that it must have been due to tiredness. INTERVIEWER Well, thank you . . And Charles has put together a video about thijourney and continues to lead groups to the Attora mountains, so if you want further information.SECTION 3 JANE Hi Tim! (Tim: Jane.) H
20、ow are you? (Tim: Fine.) Id been wondering when Id run into you. Have you been here long? TIM I arrived yesterday, on Sunday. How about you? JANE I got here a few days ago, on Saturday. No - wait a minute, whats today? - Sorry Friday, not Saturday. Q21TIM But we didnt have to be here till today. JAN
21、E Yes, I know, but I wanted to get my things moved into my room, and just take a look around. So, did you decide to do English in the end? TIM No, I changed my mind and opted for history instead. JANE Yes, although to start with I couldnt decide between that and geography. TIM How much reading have
22、you got? I was given an amazingly long list of books to read. See! JANE Wow, it does look pretty long. TIM Well, I counted 57.I could hardly believe it! Whats your list like? Q23JANE Well, its not as long as yours, but its still pretty big. There are 43.I dont know how Im going to get through them a
23、ll. Q24TIM Well you dont have to read them all this week! You just have to stay ahead of the lectures and seminars. Have you got your class schedule yet?JANE Yep. It came with the reading list. Whens your first lecture?TIM Tuesday. How about you?JANE The day after.JANE Its going to be different from
24、 school, isnt it!TIM Yeah, particularly the lectures. Have you got any special strategy for listening to lectures?JANE Well Im going to use a cassette recorder and record them all. Q26TIM What! Are you allowed to? JANE Sure. Lots of people do it nowadays. It means you can listen to the lectures all
25、over again later, and make really good notes.TIM I couldnt do that. I like to take notes as Im listening. I usually find I get all the important points. Reading is different of course. My approach is to skim the book first to see whats important and what isnt. It saves hours of time.JANE But what if
26、 you miss something?TIM You dont mean youre going to read every word, do you?JANE Well, thats what I usually do.TIM Well, thats up to you, but I think youre crazy! JANE Whats your first lecture on, anyway?TIM Oh, its a lecture on the French Revolution.Q28JANE The French Revolution! How boring! TIM I
27、ts not boring at all! It was an amazing period of history. It changed everything in Europe. So whats your first lecture about?JANE Its about animal behaviour. It sounds really interesting. TIM Look, I was on my way to the library. Im going to get some of these books out and start reading for the fir
28、st essay Ive got to write. JANE And what have you got to write about? TIM Well, youll never believe it, I think our professor must have a sense of humour. Hes given us the title Why study history? Q29JANE Thats a good one. When you find the answer, let me know! TIM Im going to enjoy writing it. Have
29、 you been given any writing assignments yet? JANE Yes, Ive got to write about animal language. Q30TIM Hmm! That sounds a challenge. I suppose youll be off to the zoo to do field research.SECTION 4 LECTURER Wele to further education Information Week. This is the Physical Education Facultys session an
30、d Im the Head of the Faculty.

31、u need previous qualifications, or relevant successful employment.So firstly, the Physical Fitness Instructors course is offered as a six-month certificate course which includes an important ponent of personal fitness but there are no specific entry requirements.

Q32For the Sports Psychologist course we offer a one-year diploma course,Q33 but this diploma course is avai
33、lable only to those who already hold a degree inpsychology, so you need to make sure you have that before you apply to do this course.

34、ndary schools and needs no prior qualifications as it is entered directly by school leavers.
