M: Santa Fe is one of the nicest towns I have been to in the U.S. I had no idea there was so much to see there! And I love the southwestern look. All the buildings are built to resemble the adobe architecture of the Pueblo Indians.
W: Wow, that sounds beautiful! Did you get a chance to meet some of the locals while you were there?
M: Yeah, I went to the Indian market in town to shop for some arts and crafts. While I was there, I met a fascinating old woman from a pueblo just outside the city. She was selling beautiful stone jewelry which she had carved herself. She really was an amazing artist. We talked for over an hour, and she told me all about her life on the reservation.
W: Were there many Indian people in Santa Fe?
M: There are a lot of native American people in New Mexico, especially in Santa Fe. Most of the people at the market were Indian, and they represented several different tribes from all over the state: Pueblo Indians, Zuni, Ute, Apache, and even some Navajo and Hopi from Arizona. I also drove to the Taos Pueblo, which is about an hour north of Santa Fe. Did you know that Taos is one of the oldest towns in America? The Pueblo has been continuously inhabited for almost a thousand years.

听力原文: The word "okay" is known and used by millions of people all over the world. Still, language experts do not agree on where it came from. Some say it came from Indian people. When Europeans first came to America, they heard hundreds of different Indian languages. Many were well developed. One tribe especially had a well developed language. They were farmers and fishermen who lived in the rich Mississippi valley in what is now the state of Alabama. When problems arose, the headers of this tribe discussed them with the tribal chief. They sat in a circle and listened to the wisdom of the chief. He heard the different proposals often raising and lowering his head in agreement, and saying, "okeh," meaning, "all is so". The Indian languages have given many words to English. Many American states have Indian names, and so do rivers, streams, mountains, cities and towns.
(30)
A.American Indian.
B.British people.
C.Europeans.
D.African people.
