听力原文: Strikes are very common in Britain. They are extremely harmful to its industries. In fact there are other countries in Western Europe that lose more working days through strikes every year than Britain. The trouble with the strikes in Britain is that they occur in essential industries. There are over four hundred and ninetyfive unions in Britain. Some unions are very small. Over twenty have more than one hundred thousand members. Unions do not exist only to demand high wages. They also educate their members. They provide benefits for the sick and try to improve working conditions. Trade unionists say that we must thank the unions for the great improvement in working conditions in the last hundred years. It is now against the law fur union members to go on strike without the support of their union. This kind of strike la called the unofficial strike and was common until recently. Employers felt that unofficial strikes were most harmful because they could not be predicted. However, these unofficial strikes still occur from time to time and some unions have also refused to cooperate with the law. As a result, the general picture of the relations between workers and employers in Britain has gone from bad to worse.

His instruments could reproduce tones as rich as those produced by the human voice. During his career he made over eleven hundred violins by hand. Those still in existence have become treasured possessions.
Unfortunately, the secret of the Stradivarius violin died with its maker. During his lifetime Stradivarius kept his notes safely hidden. Even his two sons, who helped him in his workshop, did not know all the steps involved in each violin's construction.
Through the years, many experts have offered possible explanations for the unique tone of a "Strad". Some say it is the instrument's shape and the harmony of its parts. Others suggest that the secret lies in the special properties of the wood that no longer exist. The most widely accepted supposition is the paint that the old master used to coat his instruments. Still, no violin maker has been able to fully reproduce the tone of Stradivarius's violins.

Go into any average provincial town and the last thing you will
find is a decent book-shop. More than one great industrial town of
a population of over a hundred thousand has only one such shop,
and that is generally kept going by the sale of school-books.
It is because we cannot afford to buy books. We spend six 【S1】______
hundred million pounds a year on the beer, but we certainly do not 【S2】______
spend six hundred million pence on literature. Many people can 【S3】______
afford to buy motor-cars with anything from seven hundred pounds 【S4】______
would be aghast at the idea of spending a single pound occasionally
on a book. Yet, merely like furniture, books are a cheaper and 【S5】______
better decoration than blue chinas or the eighteenth century chairs. 【S6】______
They are better because they put out the stamp of individuality 【S7】______
upon a house. The desire of the eighteenth century chairs and blue 【S8】______
china may represent not as a genuine personal taste for beautiful 【S9】______
things, but an artificial passion for rare and expensive ones. On
the other hand, a collection of books will give a house character
and meaning. It should tell you about its. 【S10】______

听力原文:W: Hi, Jim. How are things going?
M: Just fine, Ellen, how are you?
W: Oh, I'm just fine.
M: Well, I've got to go to Hong Kong next month, and I'd like you to make the arrangements.
W: Wonderful! When do you want to go?
M: OK, I've got to be there from the sixth through the ninth of February.
W: OK, the sixth through the ninth. Now, the sixth is a Thursday. Do you know, if you could leave on Friday, the seventh, before noon, I could get you a special weekend fare for only three hundred dollars. That's a real bargain. The regular fare is five hundred dollars.
M: What time would I arrive in Hong Kong on the seventh?
W: Let me check. At nine o'clock.
M: Is that a direct flight?
W: Yes.
M: That sounds good, but I really should be there the night before. What about other specials?
W: OK, well, there is a seven-day excursion fare. That's cheaper, but that means you have to go for seven or more days, and you have to fly on weekdays. The fare is two hundred and eighty dollars round trip.
M: When does the flight leave?
W: Oh, that flight leaves at three twenty in the afternoon and arrives in Hong Kong at seven o'clock.
M: Is that a nonstop flight?
W: No. There is a half-hour stop over in Tokyo, but you don't have to change planes, at least.
M: You know, it might be possible for me to stay in Hong Kong for a week, because I have a lot of friends down there. I'll think it over and let you know my final decision in a few days. Thank you very much.
W: You are welcome.

听力原文: Nobody can ever know who made the first doll. Perhaps a prehistoric man picked up a piece of wood or stone that looked like a human, What we do know is that early dolls were for magic and not for children. They were meant to bring good luck. The Greeks and Romans made wooden and clay dolls. Greek and Roman girls stayed with them until just before they were married when they took them to temple to show that they were grown up. About six hundred years ago, the dolls were sent all over French and abroad to show everyone how good French fashions were. The dolls wore nothing special. It was the place that counted. Dolls really became children's toys around eighteen hundred. Factories made plenty of them and rag dolls were made at home. Until about nineteen hundred dolls usually looked like grown-ups, not children. And later, dolls whose eyes could open and shut became popular.

A.They were first made of wood or stone.
