听力原文：Some people do not like anything to be out of place; they are never late for work

; they return their books to the library on time; they remember people's birthdays; mad they pay their bills as soon as they arrive. Mr. Dodds is such a person.

Mr. Dodds works in a bank, and lives by himself. The only family he has is in the next town: his sister lives there with her husband, and her son, Mark. Mr. Dodds does not see his sister, or her family, from one year to the next, but he sends them Christmas cards, and he has not forgotten one of Mark's seventeen birthdays.

Last week Mr. Dodds had quite a surprise. He drove home from his office at the usual time, driving neither too slow nor too fast; he parked his car where he always perked it, out of the way of other cars, and he went inside to make his evening meal. Straight away, there was a knock at the door. Mr. Dodds opened the door, to find a policeman standing on the door step.

"What have I done wrong？" Mr. Dodds asked himself. "Have I driven on the wrong side of the road？ Has there been some trouble at the office？ Have I forgotten to pay an important bill？"

"Hello, Uncle." said the policeman. "My name's Mark."

(23)

A．In a travel agency.

B．In a lawyer's office.

C．In a post office.

D．In a bank.

听力原文：Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to

听力原文： Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or different from it. Unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted one.

Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling in, or living in a country and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. How different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different at all!

Differences between peoples do of course exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike. Some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves.

(30)

A．They will find out what its people like.

B．They will know how to live in another way.

C．They will know the country and its people better.

D．They will like its inhabitants and their language.

听力原文：The poverty line is the lowest income that people need for an acceptable standard

听力原文： The poverty line is the lowest income that people need for an acceptable standard of living. People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.

As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. Therefore, even with today's relatively high standard of living; about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.

For one thing, more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40 percent of the poor people axe children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries. A large number of poor people are old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old, the normal retirement age.

Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not have any motivation, they have family problems, or they do not believe they can find a job.

Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school. Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills they can offer.

Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present time, many people depend on welfare for a living.

(33)

A．To define what the poverty line is.

B．To explain why some people live the poverty line.

C．To find solutions to the problem of poverty.

D．To show sympathy for those poor people.

听力原文：How do you rise to the top in business？ What personal qualities, skills, and back

听力原文： How do you rise to the top in business？ What personal qualities, skills, and background arc needed？ Such questions are frequently asked by students preparing to enter the work force end by men and women already in the business world.

Some companies want executives who combine administrative ability with a specialty in some branch of knowledge, such as mathematics or engineering. Other companies look for people skilled in human relations. For them, good management is the art of solving "people problems".

These are interesting insights, but what are the specific traits that will help people to climb the ladder of success？

First, drive. Business takes an unusual amount of energy. A successful executive—almost by definition--is a striver. According to one industrial psychologist, 86.5% of top managers have a higher activity level than the average middle managers. Top men get tense when they are not striving.

Second, people sense. Some say being able to judge people is more important than a high IQ. The skill can be instinctual, but in most cases it's learned through hard work.

Third, communication ability. An executive gets things done through other people. That means his communications must come through loud and clear. Different executives make themselves understood in different ways. Some transmit ideas best face to face; others are masters of the telephone call; still others are persuasive writers. One way or another, they all communicate clearly.

Fourth, calm under pressure, or as Hemingway put it, "grace under pressure". No businessman will get very far if he chokes up.

(30)

A．Two.

B．Three.

C．Four.

D．Five.

听力原文： Have you eaten too much over the holidays？ You should try fidgeting, or moving your hands or feet for a while. Those around you might not like it, but scratching and twitching is an important way of burning up calories.

American researchers have found that some people's squirming and wiggling equals several miles of jogging each day.

The scientists, based at the National Institute of Health's laboratory in Phoenix, Arizona, are studying why some people get fat and others stay slim.

In one study, 177 people each spent 24 hours in the institute's respiratory chamber—a room where the amount of energy people expend is measured by their oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. By the end of the day, some people had burned up 800 calories in toe-tapping, finger-drumming and other nervous habits. However, others had expended only 100 calories.

The researchers found that slim women fidget more than fat women, but there was net significant difference in men. Heavy people expend more energy when they fidget than do thin people.

(23)

A．Keeping moving hands and feet.

B．Jogging several miles.

C．Walking a long distance.

D．Taking deep breathes.

听力原文：Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationshi

听力原文： Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For instance, in American culture the smile is typically an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other functions. A smile may show affection, convey politeness, or disguise true feelings. It is also a source of confusion across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even suspicious behavior. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places. Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong place; some Americans believe that Russians don't smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover emotional pain or embarrassment.

Our faces reveal emotions and attitudes, but we should not attempt to "read" people from another culture as we would "read" someone from our own culture. The degree of facial expressiveness one exhibits varies among individuals and cultures. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural restraints on the amount of nonverbal expressiveness permitted.

If we judge people whose ways of showing emotions are different according to our own cultural norms, we may make the mistake of "reading" the other person incorrectly.

(30)

A．The meaning of facial expressions depends on situations.

B．Facial expressions can cause misunderstanding across culture.

C．People from one culture may lack facial expressions because they experience lessemotions.

D．Facial expressions may disguise true feelings.

听力原文：We must admit that their job is not the most romantic one in the world. We often

听力原文： We must admit that their job is not the most romantic one in the world. We often take dustmen for granted. Perhaps because they usually come very early in the morning, before most people are up, we are inclined to forget that they exist. Our dustbins are emptied regularly, but we rarely stop to think about the men who do this. However, it is one of the most important jobs in the world, and when there are no dustmen to take away the rubbish the general public soon becomes aware that something is wrong.

Recently, the dustmen of England went on strike for higher wages. During the first few days it was regarded as a joke. For some reason, jokes have always been made about dustmen, and some people thought this strike was very amusing. But when the first two weeks had passed, and the dustbins were overflowing in nearly every backyard in the country, the joke did not seem so funny any more. As the strike continued, people could not bear the accumulation of rubbish around their dustbins, and they looked for other places in which to get rid of it. Even when the strike was over, and the wages dispute had been settled, it took several weeks for the country to get cleaned up completely, as so much rubbish bad accumulated. Perhaps now the English people appreciate the work of their dustmen rather more highly, and won't take them for granted any more.

(30)

A．Because they are often early risers.

B．Because they often do their work unnoticed.

C．Because they were born to do their work.

D．Because people never stop to talk to them.

听力原文： Why do people want to save the Whales？ There are two important reasons. One reason is that whales help to keep a balance between plants and animals. People have disturbed this balance. People get rid of their wastes by throwing them into the oceans and seas. People's sewage and garbage increase the salt in ocean and sea water. The increased salt helps some plants and some very small animals to grow. These plants and animals can be harmful to fish. Whales eat enormous amount of plants and animals that grow in very salty water. Therefore, whales are very important because they keep the ocean environment clean enough for fish. In addition, because fish provide necessary food for many people, people need whales, and many people want to save them.

(23)

A．Because whales keep a balance between plants and animals on land.

B．Because whales eat a lot of fish.

C．Because whales eat large amounts of garbage.

D．Because whales keep oceans clean for fish, and people need fish.

听力原文：Some people think that the best time to begin studying a foreign language is in c

听力原文： Some people think that the best time to begin studying a foreign language is in childhood and that the younger you are, the easier it is to learn another language. There is little evidence, however, that children in language classrooms learn foreign languages any better than people over age fifteen in similar classroom situations. In fact, adults have many advantages over children: better memories, more efficient ways of organizing information, longer attention spans, better study habits, and greater ability to handle complex mental tasks. Adults see learning a foreign language as necessary for education or career. In addition, they are particularly sensitive to correctness of grammar and appropriateness of vocabulary: two factors that receive much attention in most language classrooms.

You can indeed master a foreign language—as lots of adults do. The best time to learn a foreign language is when your need is the clearest and you have sufficient time. If you feel strongly the need to study a foreign language and if you have the time to do it, the best time to begin is now.

(30)

A．Better memories.

B．More efficient ways of organizing information.

C．Better study habits.

D．More working experience.

听力原文：W: Now people are suffering more stress, especially women. I wonder what most people can do to relax themselves？

M: Well, I read of a global study about this. According to it, listening to music is what most people do to ease stress.

W: I guess, that's because we have easy access to music via radio, TV, personal CD players and so many other channels.

M: Yeah, and watching TV is listed as the next popular stress reliever, followed by taking a bath or shower.

W: Well, I've heard that it is quite popular in your country for people to consult psychologists and doctors.

M: I'm afraid that's not true. I believe only a few people think it's helpful.

W: I have noticed that our manager always looks energetic, even though he works more than 12 hours a day. Perhaps, he takes some specific medicine.

M: I know his recipe. He likes dancing and often visits bars alone so that he can dance to his heart's content.

W: So that's how it is. But when I feel anxious or exhausted, I prefer to take a walk or read a funny story.

M: That's not a bad idea. Meanwhile, you can find some other ways to relax yourself if they are suitable for you.

(23)

A．Listening to music.

B．Listening to CD players.

C．Watching TV.

D．Taking a bath.
