Conversation 1

M: Do you mind taking my photo with the statue【La statue】over there? I think it will make a great shot【Conception、Objectif、 Un petit verre 】.
W: Sure, no worries. You're always taking photos. What do you do with all the photos you take?
M: Well, don't laugh. My dream is to become an online celebrity【Célébrités】of sorts.
W: You are not serious, are you?
M: I am, completely. I just got the idea a few months ago after posting some holiday photos on my social media accounts. A lot of people liked my photos and started asking me for travel tips. So I figured I'd give it a go. I post a lot on social media anyway. So I've got nothing to lose.
W: I guess that's true. So what do you have to do to become Internet famous?
M: Surprisingly a lot more than I did as a hobby【Hobby】. Recently, I've been spending a lot more time editing photos, posting online and clearing storage on my phone. It's always full now.【 C'est toujours plein maintenant 】
W: That doesn't sound like too much work.
M: Well, there's more to it. I spent all last weekend researching what topics are popular, what words to use in captions【Titre】and similar accounts to follow. It really was a lot to take in. And I was up well past midnight【 Je n'ai pas dormi au milieu de la nuit 】. I'd say it's paying off though【 Je dirais que ça en valait la peine 】. I increased the number of people following my accounts by 15% already.
W: That is impressive【Impressionnant、Admirable】. I guess I never thought much about all the effort behind the scene【 Je n'ai jamais pensé à ces efforts en coulisses 】. Now that I think about it, there's always something wrong with my photos as it is—half smiles,closed eyes, messy hair. I hope you have better luck than I do. Then again【Deuxièmement,】, I think the only person interested in my photos is my mom.

1. What does the man ask the woman to do?
2. What does the man dream of?
3. What has the man been busy doing recently?
4. What does the woman say about her photos?

Conversation 2
M: Good evening and welcome to Physics Today. Here we interview some of the greatest minds in physics as they help us to understand some of the most complicated【Complexe】theories. Today, I'm very pleased to welcome Dr. Melissa Phillips, professor of theoretical physics. She's here to tell us a little about what it is she studies. Dr. Phillips, you seem to study everything.
W: I guess that would be fair to say I spent most of my time studying the Big Bang theory and where our universe【L'univers】came from.
M: Can you tell us a little about that?
W: Well, I'm very interested in why the universe exists at all. That may sound odd, but the fact is at the moment of the Big Bang, both matter and anti-matter were created for a short time, and I mean just a fraction of【Une petite partie】a second. The whole universe was a super-hot soup of radiation【Rayonnement】filled with these particles【Particules】. So what's baffled【Confusion】scientists for so long is "why is there a universe at all?"
M: That's because matter and anti-matter are basically opposites of each other. They are exactly alike【Exactement la même chose.】except that they have opposite electrical charges. So when they collide【Collisions】, they destroy each other?
W: Exactly. So during the first few moments of the Big Bang, the universe was extremely hot and very small. Matter and the now more exotic anti-matter would have had little【Presque rien】space to avoid each other. This means that they should have totally wiped each other out, leaving the universe completely barren【Pauvre、 Sans poils 】.
M: But a recent study seems to point to the fact that when matter and anti-matter were first created, there were slightly【Légère】more particles of matter, which allowed the universe we all live in to form.
W: Exactly. Because there was slightly more matter, the collisions quickly depleted all the anti-matter and left just enough matter to create stars, planets【Les planètes】and eventually us.

Section B
Passage 1
In this week's edition【Version】of special series on Bizarre Medical Conditions, there is a report of the case of【……Situation】Michelle Myers. Myers is an American woman who woke up one day speaking with a British accent【Accent】, even though she's lived in the United States all her life. In 2015, Myers went to bed with a terrible headache. She woke up sounding like someone from England. Her British accent has remained for the past two years. Previously, Myers had woken up speaking in Irish and Australian accents. However, on both of those occasions, the accents lasted for only a week.
Myers has been diagnosed with Foreign Accent Syndrome【Syndromes】. It's a disorder in which a person experiences a sudden change to their speech【Discours、Déclarations】so that they sound like they're speaking in a foreign accent. The condition is most often caused by a stroke【Accident vasculaire cérébral】or traumatic【 Trauma 】brain injury. Although people with the syndrome have intelligible【 Facile à comprendre 】speech, their manner of speaking is altered in terms of timing【Timing】and tongue placement, which may distort【Distorsion】their pronunciation.The result is that they may sound foreign when speaking their native language.It's not clear whether Myers has experienced a stroke or other brain damage, but she also has a separate【Seul、Différent】medical condition, which can result in loose joints【 Articulations desserrées 】, easily bruised【Une égratignure】skin and other problems.
Foreign Accent Syndrome is rare, with only about 60 cases reported within the past century. However, a different American woman reportedly spoke with the Russian accent in 2010 after she fell down the stairs【Les escaliers】and hit her head.

9. What happened to Michelle Myers one day?
10. What does the passage say about Foreign Accent Syndrome?
11. What accent did another American woman speak with after a head injury?

Passage 2

​​​​​​​There is something about water that makes it a good metaphor【Métaphore】for life. That may be one reason why so many people find relief in swimming when life's seas get rough【Rugueux】. And it goes some way towards explaining why books about swimming, in which people tackle icy lakes【 Un lac glacé 】, race in rivers and overcome oceans while reflecting on【Penser、Réflexion】 their lives, have recently become so popular.
These books reflect a trend, particularly strong in Britain, where swimming in pools is declining, but more and more folks【Les gens】are opting for【Sélectionner】open water. "Wild swimming" seems to be especially popular among women. Jenny Landreth recently published a guide to the best swimming spots in London. Her new book, Swell, interweaves【Entrelacement】her own story with a history of female pioneers【Pioneer】who accomplished remarkable feats【Service méritoire】and paved the way for future generations.
Notions of modesty【Modestie（Timide.）La notion de】 restricted women in the Victorian era, but they still swam. A "bathing machine" was rolled down【 Descends! 】to the seashore【La côte】so women would not be seen in swimwear【Maillot de bain】. In 1892, The Gentlewoman's Book of Sport described a woman swimming in a heavy dress【Les vêtements】, boots【Bottes】, hat, gloves【Gants】and carrying an umbrella【Parapluie】.
Eventually, swimming became freer. Mixed bathing【 Bain mixte 】was permitted【Allow】on British beaches in 1901. Women won the right to swim in public pools, learned to swim properly, created appropriate swimwear and, in time, even competed against men. The first woman to cross the English Channel【 La Manche 】was Gertrude Ederle in 1926. She beat the record by almost two hours and her father rewarded【Récompenses】her with a red sports car.

12. What has become so popular recently?
13. What did Jenny Landreth do recently?
14. What do we learn about women in the Victorian era?
15. What does the passage say about Gertrude Ederle?

Section C
Recording 1
Today I'm going to talk about a very special kind of person. Psychologists call them "masters of deception," those rare individuals with a natural ability to tell with complete confidence when someone is telling a lie. For decades, researchers and law enforcement agencies have tried to build a machine that will do the same thing.
Now a company in Massachusetts says that by using magnetic【Magnétique】brain scans they can determine with 97% accuracy whether someone is telling the truth. They hope that the technology will be cleared for use in American courts【Le Tribunal】by early next year. But is this really the ultimate tool for you, the lawyers of tomorrow?
You'll not find many brain scientists celebrating this breakthrough. The company might be very optimistic, but the ability of their machine to detect deception【Tricher】has not provided credible proof【 Des preuves crédibles 】. That's because the technology has not been properly tested in real-world situations. In life, there are different kinds of lies and diverse【Divers】context【Environnement】in which they're told. These differences may elicit【Exportation、Je l'ai.】different brain responses. Does their hypothesis【Hypothèses】behind the test apply in every case? We don't know the answer, because studies done on how reliable this machine is have not yet been duplicated. Much more research is badly needed【 Il est urgent de poursuivre la recherche 】.
Whether the technology is eventually deemed reliable enough for the courts will ultimately be decided by the judges. Let's hope they're wise enough not to be fooled by a machine that claims to determine truthfulness at the flick of a switch【 Appuyez sur l'interrupteur 】. They should also be sceptical of the growing tendency to try to reduce all human traits and actions to the level of brain activity. Often, they do not map【La carte、Cartographie】 that easily.
Moreover, understanding the brain is not the same as understanding the mind. Some researchers have suggested that thoughts cannot properly【Oui.、C'est vrai】be seen as purely "internal." Instead, thoughts make sense【C'est logique.】only in reference to【À propos de】the individual's external world. So while【Bien que】there may be insights【Aperçu】to be gained【Obtenir】from matching behavior to brain activity, those insights will not necessarily lead to justice in a court of law. Problems surround the use of machines to spot deception【 Découvrir la tromperie 】, at least until it has been rigorously【Sévère】tested. A high-tech test that can tell when a person is not telling the truth sounds too good to be true. And when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

16. What have researchers and law enforcement【Mise en œuvre】agencies tried to do?
17. How do many brain scientists respond to the Massachusetts company's so-called【Ce qu'on appelle】technological breakthrough?
18. What does the speaker think of using a high-tech【Haute technologie】test to determine whether a person is telling the truth?
