听力原文:Alan: Come in !
Sally: Hi Alan—I just wondered if you would like to come out for a coffee.
Alan: Oh, hi, Sally. I was just writing a letter.
Sally: Writing a letter! Is your phone out of order?
Alan: No—well, not exactly a letter. Alex has applied for a job at children's summer camp, and they've asked me for a character reference.
Sally: Oh dear—you're not going to tell them the truth, are you?
Alan: What do you mean?
Sally: Well, that he's a big-headed show off who never does a day's work.
Alan: Oh, come on, he's not that bad—I mean, kids love him. He's always entertaining his little brother's friends with his magic tricks.
Sally: Oh, yes, he's great with children, but he's big kid himself, isn't he?
Alan: Yes, I suppose he is a bit immature.
Sally: And I hope they don't expect him to work before four o'clock in the afternoon. You know what he's like—he needs a bomb under him to get him up in the morning.
Alan: Mm.
Sally: Also, he hates taking orders from anybody. Do you remember that job he had last summer in a restaurant? He ended up throwing a bucket of water over the chef when she asked him to wash the kitchen floor.
Alan: Oh no, don't remind me. But he did run that restaurant single-handed when the chef and two of the waiters were off sick with food poisoning.
Sally: That's true. Hers good in a crisis. Now shall we go and get some coffee?
Alan: All right.

听力原文: Have you ever seen a movie in which a building was burnt down or a bridge was destroyed? Have you seen films in which a train crashed or a ship sank into the ocean? ff so, you may have wondered how these things could happen without harming the people in the film. The man who knows the answer is the special effects man. He has one of the most important jobs in the film industry. He may be ordered to create a flood, or to make a battlefield explode. But he may also be asked to create a special effect. It is much more exciting. Once a film director wanted some fish that were swimming in a big glass bowl to stop swimming suddenly while they were seen to stare at an actor. Then the director wanted, the fish to stop staring and swim away. But fish can't be ordered to do anything. It was quite a problem. The special effects man thought about this for a long time. The result was an ides for controlling the fish with the harmless use of electricity. First he applied electricity to the fish howl causing the fish to be absolutely still. Then he rapidly reduced the amount of electricity allowing the fish to swim away. Thus he got the humorous effect that the director wanted.

B.Making a special film about fishing.

Some years ago I gave a dinner party during which I served a delicious hors d' oeuvre filled with a meat that tasted somewhat like chicken. My guests wondered what the meat was, but 1 refused to tell them until they had eaten their fill. I then explained that they had just dined on the flesh of freshly killed rattlesnake. The reaction was nausea--and in some cases violent vomiting. If I had served rattlesnake to a Chinese, he would doubtless had requested a second helping, for in China the dish is considered a delicacy.
Another interesting case is the young man I met recently in New York City. An American by birth, he had been removed from his native state of Oregon at the age of six months when his parents went to Japan as missionaries. Orphaned before his first birthday, he was reared by a Japanese family in a remote village. The young man was unmistakably American in appearance, with blond hair and blue eyes. But he had a Japanese style. of walking, Japanese facial expressions, and he thought like a Japanese. Though he had learned to speak English fluently, he felt uncomfortable and nut of place in an American city. He soon returned to Japan.
The best title of this passage is ______.
A.Cultural Conditioning
B.Our Parents' Values
C.American Customs
D.Taboos among the Chinese

听力原文: Sign language has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that sign languages are unique--a speech of the hands. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy: Whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the world's only liberal arts university for deaf people.
When Bill Stoke went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. He had been taught a sort of gesture code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English, At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form. of pidgin English. But Stoke believed the "hand talk" his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on earth? Stoke devoted his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture. For decades educators fought his idea that sign languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese.
