听力原文：Women often used the term "secondary handicapped" to describe short men in the pa

st. Nowadays, this wonting has long been out of use. Research done by Peking University has proved that between 1985 and 2000, Chinese women have become more and more practical in choosing their partners. The height and appearance of men are seldom mentioned.

A sample investigation made by people including Qian Mingyi, psychology professor and director of doctoral candidates on the advertisements for partners in the magazine Women of China from 1985 to 2000 shows that in terms of physiological conditions, age, which was number 1 in 1985 and 1995, is an important criterion for women in choosing their partners. However, women have been less strict about men's height year by year and their requirements on their appearance to the 10th place. Women now care more about the personal, social and economic conditions of men. However, women have always valued the health of their partners and this has not changed much during the 15 years.

In terms of social and economic conditions, during the 15 years, the rate of mention women's requirements on the job and educational experience of their partners has been falling, but the requirement on career rose from the 9th place in 1985 to second place by the end of 1990s. The changes of criteria on partners are a reflection of the political, economic and cultural changes in society. According to experts' analyses, in early 1980s, educational experience and job represented the income level of an individual, while in late 1990s, with diversified channels of income and increasingly frequent occupational differentiation, educational experience and job could not directly indicate one's income. Comparatively, the elements of career, social and economic status are more relevant. Men with high achievement in terms of career are more attractive to women and quality of life after marriage can be better ensured.

A．Vertically handicapped.

B．Short.

C．Secondary handicapped.

D．Height challenged.

听力原文： Experts on dyslexia say that the problem is not a disease. They say that persons with dyslexia use information in a different way. One of the world's greatest thinkers and scientists named Albert Einstein was dyslexic. Dr Einstein said that he never thought in words the way that most of us do. He said that he thought in pictures instead. Other famous people who suffered from dyslexia include Leonardo Da Vinci, a celebrated Roman artist, Thomas Edison, a well-Known American inventor and a former American Vice president, Nelson Rockfeller.

Dyslexia was first recognized in Europe and then in the United States over 80 years ago. Many years passed before doctors discovered that people with this disorder were not mentally slow or disabled. The doctors found that the brains of dyslexia persons are rather different. In brains of most people, the left side, the part that controls language, is larger than the fight side. In the people with dyslexia, the right side of the brain is much bigger. However, research has shown that dyslexia is more common in men than in women, and it is also found more often in people who are left-handed.

(30)

A．The left-handed women.

B．The left-handed men.

C．Excellent female scientists or artists.

D．Some celebrated female presidents.

听力原文：When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available communi

听力原文： When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available community services such as adult daycare centers. If the caregivers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other responsibilities. In contrast, a spouse usually the wife, is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home. Social workers discover that the wife normally tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can in order not to use up their life savings. Researchers have found that caring for the elderly can be a very positive experience. The elderly appreciated the care and attention they received. They were affectionate and cooperative. However, even when care-giving is satisfying, it is hard work. Social workers and experts on aging offer caregivers and potential caregivers help when arranging for the care of an elderly relative. One consideration is to ask parents what they want before they become sick or dependent. Perhaps they prefer going into a nursing home and can select one in advance. On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children. Caregivers must also learn to state their needs and opinions clearly and ask for help from others especially brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters are often willing to help, but they may not know what to do.

Questions:

29. Why are adult children more likely to use community services to help care for elderly parents？

30. Why are most wives unwilling to put their dependent husbands into nursing homes？

31. According to the passage，what must caregivers learn to do？

(30)

A．They think they should follow the current trend.

B．Nursing homes are well-equipped and convenient.

C．Adult day-care centers are easily accessible.

D．They have jobs and other commitments.

听力原文： American women are used to being independent. They are used to going places by themselves, earning their own money, and often living alone. Sometimes they will ask men for help, but they usually don't want to be protected. Since the women's movement started, it's not always clear whether women expect men to open doors or help them into their coats. American women may start conversations with men or even ask them to dance.

There are a lot of Americans who don't smoke or drink, and many who don't want people to do those things in their houses. It's always best to ask before you bring alcohol to a dinner or be fore you light up a cigarette, if you're with people you don't know very well. Nonsmokers have become more militant about smoking in public places. Many restaurants, for instance, have established special sections for smokers.

House guests may bring gifts when they come to visit, and they often offer to help in some way. As a guest, you may want to ask your host or hostess if there's anything you can do to help in the kitchen. In many cases, the gesture is more important than actual helping. You may also want to take your friends out to dinner at the end of your stay, but it's not expected for you to do so

(30)

A．They are used to earning their own money.

B．They often live alone.

C．They don't start conversation with men.

D．They may ask men for dance.

听力原文：The family is changing. In the past, grandparents, parents, and children used to

听力原文： The family is changing. In the past, grandparents, parents, and children used to live together, and they had an extended family. Sometimes two or more brothers with their wives and children were part of this large family group. But family structure is changing throughout the world. Nowadays, many families consist of only one Father, one mother, and children. It is becoming the main family structure everywhere.

The new family structure offers married women some advantages: they have freedom from their relatives, and the husband does not have all the power of the family. Studies show that in these families, men and women usually make an equal number of decisions about family lives.

In the past, wives usually have to pay for the benefits of freedom and power. When women lived in extended families, sisters and grandparents and aunts helped one another with housework and childcare. In addition, older women in a large family group had important positions.

But now, wives do not often enjoy this benefit, and they have another disadvantage too: women generally live longer than their husbands, so older women from these families often have to live alone. Studies show that women are generally less satisfied with marriage than men are. In the past, men worked outside the home and women worked inside. Housework and childcare were a full time job, and there was no time for anything else. Now women work outside and have more freedom than they did in the past, but they still have to do most of the housework. The women actually have two full-time jobs, and they have not much free time.

(30)

A．There were only grandparents and children.

B．There was one father, one mother, and their children.

C．There were many relatives.

D．There were two or more brothers with their wives.

听力原文：Many women are attracted by the excitement of being a flight attendant -- you ear

听力原文： Many women are attracted by the excitement of being a flight attendant -- you earn your living and see the world at the same time. Yet, many people consider flight attendants to be simply multi-lingual waitresses doing a very routine job.

Surely the truth must lie somewhere between these conflicting views. Of course, flight attendants do travel a lot yet are often tired or do not have enough time to take advantage of all the places they visit. They are working women after all! It is also true that speaking several languages and having hotel experience are requirements for the job. But in addition, a flight attendant must be a psychologist and a nurse and be able to remain calm and efficient and carry out the necessary procedures in case of an emergency. A passenger's life may depend on her just as much as on the pilot.

So let us not underestimate her -- apparently she is a charming waitress but she is also a highly trained and essential member of the crew of an aeroplane. Without her, there is no doubt that traveling by air would become a terrible experience. From this we can see what important role she plays in modem transportation.

(30)

A．They do routine work and speak a few languages.

B．They see the world and earn a lot of money.

C．They look pretty and look after passengers.

D．They see the world and do routine work.

听力原文： The majority of people, about nine out of ten, are fight-handed. Up until recently, people who were left-handed were considered old, and once children showed this tendency they were forced to use their right hands. Today, left-hand- edness is generally accepted but it is still a disadvantage in a world where most people are fight-handed. For example, most tools are still designed for right-handed people.

In sports, by contrast, doing things with the left hand or foot is often an advantage. Throwing, kicking or hitting from the "wrong" side may confuse opponents, who are accustomed to dealing with the majority of players who are right-handed.

In the past, in most Western societies, children were often forced to use their right hands, especially to write. In some cases, the left hand was tied behind the child's back so that it could not be used. If, in the future, they are allowed to choose, there will certainly be more left handed people, and probably fewer depressed people as a result of being forced to use their right hands.

(30)

A．They thought them strange.

B．They considered they were funny.

C．They thought them clever.

D．They considered they were creative.

听力原文： It seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain, its first use was as a shade against the sun.

Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B. C. We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sun shade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: It becomes a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high office.

In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as a protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.

During the Middle Age, the use of umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered as a symbol of the power and authority. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France, and later on in England.

By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style. during all the time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that women's umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colors.

A．In ancient China.

B．In ancient Egypt.

C．In ancient Greece.

D．In ancient Rome.

听力原文：It's generally agreed that serious, violent crime has reached alarming laroportio

听力原文： It's generally agreed that serious, violent crime has reached alarming laroportions in the United States. A survey by the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration found that 61% of all women feel unsafe in their own neighborhoods at night; that 45 % of the population is afraid to walk alone at night near their own homes; and that 47% own guns, large for self-protection.

Those arrested for crimes and disproportionately likely to be male, young, a member of a racial minority, and a city resident. Males are arrested about four times as often as females. Only in juvenile runaway cases and prostitution are females more often arrested. One is the sex role stereotyping which encourages males to be more aggressive and daring, while females are encouraged to be more passive and conforming to the rules and norms. The second reason is the tendency of police officers and the courts to deal more kindly with female offenders. However, it should be noted, in the past decade, crime among females has been increasing at much faster rate than among males, a negative side effect which has been attributed to women challenging the traditional sex role of passivity and conformity.

Young people appear to commit far more than their share of crime, including the crimes that are classified by the FBI as most serious-rape, murder, robbery, arson, burglary, aggravated assault, auto theft. In 1985, 31% of all arrests were of person under the age of 21, and 50% of all arrests were of persons under 25.

(30)

A．For hunting.

B．For protecting himself.

C．For stimulation.

D．For protecting the country.
