[11:30.91]Good-bye, England's Rose
[11:33.54]Good-bye, England's rose;
[11:36.24]May you ever grow in our hearts.
[11:39.08]You were the grace that placed itself
[11:41.64]where lives were torn apart.
[11:43.80]You called out to our country,
[11:46.25]and you whispered to those in pain.
[11:48.70]Now you belong to heaven,
[11:50.53]and the stars spell out your name.
[11:53.38]And it seems to me you lived your life,
[11:56.65]like a candle in the wind,
[11:58.96]never fading with the sunset
[12:01.33]when the rain set in.
[12:03.13]And your footsteps will always fall
[12:05.62]here along England's greenest hills;
[12:08.71]your candle's burned out long before,
[12:11.48]your legend ever will.
[12:13.64]Loveliness we've lost,
[12:15.62]these empty days without your smile.
[12:18.83]This torch we'll always carry
[12:21.06]for our nation's golden child.
[12:23.80]And even though we try,
[12:25.74]the truth brings us to tears,
[12:28.19]all our words cannot express the joy
[12:31.39]you brought us through the years.
[12:33.84]Good-bye, England's rose,
[12:36.47]from a country lost without your soul,
[12:39.78]who'll miss the wings of your compassion
[12:42.77]more than you'll ever know.

[13:06.64]Exercise 1:Directions:A student wrote these notes while she was listening to the tape.
[13:15.92]Unfortunately, she made a few mistakes. Listen to the passage and underline her mistakes.
[13:23.99]Therese Costabile is a cashier at a big drug store in Cupertino, California.
[13:29.89]People buy medicine, makeup, shampoo, garden tools, watches, and toys at the drug store.
[13:36.80]They pay Ms Costabile. They also pay her for their lottery tickets.
[13:42.20]At the drug store people buy tickets for the California State Lottery.
[13:46.56]They pay one dollar for a lottery ticket. Then they look at the pictures in the ticket.
[13:51.71]Some pictures are winning pictures. Some pictures are losing pictures.
[13:56.35]Most people win nothing. Some people win two dollars. A few lucky people win thousands of dollars.
[14:04.42]One day Ms Costabile was working at the drug store. She sold three lottery tickets to a woman.
[14:11.62]The woman looked at the pictures on the tickets. Then she threw the tickets on the counter and walked away.
[14:18.31]Ms Costabile picked up the woman's tickets. One ticket was a winning ticket for $50,000.
[14:25.84]"Excuse me," Ms Costabile called to the woman. "You won $50,000."
[14:32.10]The woman walked back to the counter. "I thought they were all losing tickets," she said.
[14:37.43]She took the winning ticket and looked at it. "Thanks," she said.
[14:41.96]Slowly she walked away.
[14:44.12]Why did Ms Costabile give the woman the ticket? Why didn't she keep the ticket?
[14:49.13]Didn't she want the $50,000?
[14:52.15]"Of course I wnated the money," Ms Costabile said. "But it was her ticket. It wasn't my ticket."
[14:58.31]Ms Costabile telephoned her mother. She told her mother about the ticket.
[15:02.81]"Well, I'm sorry that you aren't rich," her mother said. "But I'm happy that you're honest."  (262 words)
