They’re everybody’s favorite.M: Well, we can certainly keep them but we need to give people some choices. [25] For example we could also prepare chicken without fat. We could serve it on some rice with lotus. Do you think that would appeal to the students?W: Well, I like fat. But you are right, you’d better find out what others think. Oh, sorry, I have got to go back to work.Section BPassage One【听力原文】Mrs. Jones was very fond of singing. She had a very good voice, except that [27(1)] some of her high notes tended to sound like a gate which someone had forgotten to oil. Mrs. Jones was very conscious of this weakness, and [26] took every opportunity she could find to practice these high notes. As she lived in a small house, where she could not practice without disturbing the rest of the family, she usually went for long walks along the country roads whenever she had time, and practiced her high notes there. Whenever she heard a car or a person coming along the road, she stopped and waited until she could no longer be heard before she started practicing again, because she was a shy person, and because she was sensitive about those high notes.One afternoon, however, a fast open car came behind her so silently that she did not hear it until it was only a few yards away from her. [27(2)] She was singing some of her highest and most difficult notes at the time. As the car passed her, she saw an anxious expression suddenly come over its driver’s face. He out his brakes on violently, and as soon as the car stopped, jumped out and began to examine all his tyres carefully.[28] Mrs. Jones dared not tell him what the noise he had heard had really been, so he got back into his car, and drove off, as puzzled as he had been when he stopped.Passage Two【听力原文】[31] Cars are an important part of life in the United States. [29] Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor, he doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around IN IT. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. [30] The third reason is the most important one. The American spirit of independence is what really made the car popular. A car gives Americans the freedom to schedule their own time. The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car that does not use so much gas.Passage Three【听力原文】Do you have trouble sleeping at night? Then maybe this is for you. When you worry about needing sleep and toss and turn trying to find a comfortable position, you’re probably only making the matter worse.[33] What happens when you do that is that your heart rate actually increases, making it more difficult to relax. You may also have some bad habits that contribute to the problem. Do you rest frequently during the day? Do you get virtually no exercise, [34] or do you do exercises very vigorously late in the day? Are you preoccupied with sleep, or do you sleep late on weekends? Any or all of these factors might be leading to your insomnia by disrupting your body’s natural rhythm.What should you do, then, on those sleepless nights? [35] Don’t bother with sleeping pills. They can actually cause worse insomnia later. The best thing to do is to drink milk or eat cheese or tuna fish. These are all rich in amino acids and help produce a neurotransmitter in the brain that induces sleep. This neurotransmitter will help you relax, and you’ll be on your way to getting a good night’s sleep.。
