It's great to see that so many of you are interested in sharing the history of our local area with tourists. 1st, I'll describe our historical mining village where you'll be volunteering. Our town was established after gold was discovered here in 1867. There was a thriving gold mine right up until the 1970s. 00:01:23,260 Can you all see the map? The main museum building is located not far from the entrance to the site at the bottom of the map. Most visitors will want to see the old mine shaft, where the miners used to descend underground in a steam-driven lift. It's opposite the main museum building. It's the larger of the 2 adjoining buildings. 00:01:48,980 Although most of the gold is gone now, visitors to our historical village can still try looking for gold in the panning area. To find it, you need to take the path from the main museum building that goes left towards Sandy Creek. It's the area bordered by a line of trees just before the bridge. Oh, and if anyone finds any gold, they can take it home. 00:02:16,360 When the mine closed, the company donated the equipment to the Historical Society. The workshop is where we keep the old machinery, which some visitors like to see. You can actually see it from the entrance. It's on the eastern side of the village, next to the statue of the gold miner. Our newest building is the coach house. It houses all the early carts, coaches, and other items required in the days of horse-drawn transport. To get there from the main museum building, take the path round to the left, then go across the creek. Follow the path, and at the fork, it's the building on the right. 00:03:00,940 The blacksmith's shop, the place where metal tools used to be made, is one of our most popular attractions. One of our members does a daily demonstration of how to make a horseshoe there. From the main museum building, take the path which heads east. The blacksmith's shop is at the end of the path on the corner before the T-junction. 00:03:25,420 A very real danger in any working mine was fire. The village has its own fire station, which houses a fully restored 1942 fire truck. To see it, from the main museum building, take the path which goes right and follow it until you get to a T-junction. Turn left and head north. The fire station is located at the very end of that path. 00:03:55,920 Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20. 00:04:22,019 Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20. 00:04:29,200 Now let me tell you about some of the benefits you get by becoming a volunteer. As soon as you start volunteering for us, you get membership to the Historical Society. It's normally 50 dollars a year, but it costs nothing for volunteers. After our monthly meeting, you'll be able to access our archive room to help sort through our collection of original historical documents, which many of you will find interesting. Eventually, we'll scan them onto a computer when we get some funding to purchase one. We're hoping to open a souvenir shop in the village soon to help finance some of the society's activities. Some of you might enjoy volunteering there. 00:05:15,270 We also have a function room in the museum where we hold our meetings, and, uh, members have the right to book the room for other activities for a small fee. Something our members appreciate is the complimentary subscription that they get to our magazine, The Tracer, full of stories from the past. It comes out once a quarter. 00:05:40,160 The highlight of the year for our society is the annual Steam Festival, and it's a whole weekend of activities. We try to have different ones each year. Last year, for example, there was a cruise along the river in an old steam ship, and we also had a guest speaker, the famous author of The Age of Steam book, Gordon Baxter. This year, we're having a hands-on session making and repairing things made from iron. Also, rather than just having an exhibition of steam machinery, we want guests to see them in action. So 2 of our steam locomotives are going to compete to see which one is faster. We think the children will love it. It's so much more exciting to see them in real life than on the screen. 00:06:36,080 That is the end of Part 2. You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to Part 2. ## 题目与答案 ### 11.
