Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once.After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choicesmarked A), B), C), and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2with a single line through the center.Passage OneThe water clock was an ancient clock. It could be used on cloudy days, at night, and indoors. Such clocks were probably first used in Egypt about 2,000 B. C. They were also used for many years in Arabia, India, China and all of Europe.The simplest water clock needed just two parts—a small bowl and a large bowl. The small bowl had a tiny hole in the bottom; the large bowl was divided into equal parts and marked by lines. Water was poured into the small bowl, and it fell slowly down into the large bowl in tiny drops. Usually it took an hour for the water to rise from one line to the next in the large bowl.A beautiful water clock was made in Persia over a thousand years ago. It was presented as a gift to the emperor of France. That water clock could be heard as well as seen. The dial of the clock was made up of twelve doors, each representing an hour. Every hour a door opened and the proper number of metal balls dropped onto a thin brass plate to strike the hour. At twelve o’clock, twelve tiny horsemen came out and shut all the doors. This was probably one of the first striking clocks.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. Where was the first water clock probably made?17. What do we know about the structure of the simplest water clock?18. What did the striking water clock use to strike hours?Passage TwoDo you have a tough math test coming up? Then listen to some classical piano music just before the test. You might end up with a higher score. Researchers at a university in California conducted an experiment. They asked a group of college students to listen to some piano music by a famous 18th century composer before taking a math test. They were surprised to find that the students’ scores jumped 8 to 9 points. The music seems to excite nerve activity in the brain; similar to the activity that occurs when a person is figuring out a math problem. However, the scientists warn before you get too excited about applying this method to your math tests. You should remember that brain’s exciting effects last only 10 to 15 minutes. Would rock music work as well as the piano music did? No, the scientists say. In fact, the less complex music might even interfere with the brain’s reasoning ability.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What is this passage mainly about?20. Why can classical music play a positive role in problem solving?21. What is one of the findings of the research?Passage ThreeThe male and female mosquitoes make an odd couple. The female eats and lives on blood. The male is a vegetarian that sips plant juices. Females of different species choose different hosts on which to dine. Some feed exclusively on cattle, horses, birds, and other warm-blooded creatures. Some favor cold-blooded animals. Still others prefer man.While the female’s menu varies, her bite remains the same. She drives her sharp, needle-like snout through the skin, injects a fluid to keep the blood from clotting, and drinks her fill, which takes a minute or less. It is the fluid she injects that carries disease. After her blood meal, she rests while eggs develop. She then looks for a moist or flooded place to lay them.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What conclusion can you make about the male mosquitoes?23. What do you learn about female mosquitoes?24. Which of the following are natural breeding places for mosquitoes?25. Which justifies the conclusion that mosquitoes should be destroyed?Section CDirections:In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time you should listen for its general idea. Then listen to the passage again.When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanksnumbered from 26 to 33 with the exact words you have just heard. For the blanksnumbered from 34 to 36 you are required to fill in the missing information. For theseblanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the mainpoints in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, youshould check what you have written.Everybody wants to stay young. But youthful innocence only reflects the (26) immaturity of the “half adult” generation. For many young people, adulthood means being ordinary and (27) struggling under a load of onerous responsibilities. “Being an adult is no fun,” said an (28) 18-year-old girl. “You are a (29) serious person and a conformist. You wear normal clothes and have to think a lot.” (30) Generally speaking, adulthood means no more partying, no easy money, and no (31) rose-colored glasses. An adult is seen largely as someone able and (32) ready to take over responsibility for his or her life.The anxiety of growing up is (33) attributed to the lack of adult role models and a break incommunications between generations. (34) The youth culture in our society is another possible cause. (35) Anybody who admits too early that he is old has had it. The adoration of youth is also to blame. “(36) If you are young, attractive and dynamic, you’ve got it made in this society,” a sociologist says. No wonder that getting old causes anxiet y.。

After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B),C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.Kenyan police say one person was killed and 26 injured in an explosion at a bus station in central Nairobi. The blast hit a bus about to set off for the Ugandan capital Kampala. Last July, the Somali group al-Shabab said it was behind the blasts in the Ugandan capital which killed more than 70 people. Will Ross reports from the Kenyan capital.The explosion happened beside a bus which was about to set off for an overnight journey from Nairobi to the Ugandan capital Kampala. Some eyewitnesses report that a bag was about to beloaded on board, but it exploded during a security check. Windows of the red bus were left smashed, and blood could be seen on the ground beside the vehicle. Just hours earlier, Uganda s police chief had warned of possible Christmas-time attacks by Somali rebels.1. What is the news report mainly about?2. When did the incident occur?Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.Woolworths is one of the best known names on the British High Street. It s been in business nearly a century. Many of its 800 stores are likely to close following the company s decision to call in administrators after an attempt to sell the business for a token 1 failed.The company has huge debts. The immediate cause for the collapse has been Britain s slide toward recession, which has cut into consumer spending. However, the business had been in trouble for years.Known for low-priced general goods, Woolworths has struggled in the face of competition from supermarkets expanding beyond groceries and a new generation of internet retailers.Many of the store group s 25,000 employees are likely to lose their jobs. Some profitable areas such as the DVD publishing business will survive.3. What do we learn about Woolworths from the news report?4. What did Woolworths attempt to do recently?Questions 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item.Cairo is known for its overcrowded roads, irregular driving practices and shaky old vehicles, but also for its air pollution. In recent months, though, environmental studies indicate there have been signs of improvement. That s due in part to the removal of many of the capital s old-fashioned black and white taxis. Most of these dated back to the 1960s and 70s and were in a poor state of repair.After new legislation demanded their removal from the roads, a low interest loan scheme was set up with three Egyptian banks so drivers could buy new cars. The government pays about $900 for old ones to be discarded and advertising on the new vehicles helps cover repayments.The idea has proved popular with customers ―they can now travel in air-conditioned comfort and because the new cabs are metered, they don t have to argue over fares. Banks and car manufacturers are glad for the extra business in tough economic times. As for the taxi drivers, most are delighted to be behind the wheel of new cars, although there have been a few complaints about switching from black and white to a plain white colour.5. What change took place in Cairo recently?6. What helped bring about the change?7. Why do customers no longer argue with new cab drivers?Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear two long conversations. At the end of each conversation, you will hear four questions.

After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre. Passage OneIn today s class, we ll discuss Toni Morrison s novel Beloved. As I m sure you all know, Morrison is both a popular and a highly respected author, and it s not easy to be both. Born in 1931, Morrison has written some of the mosttouching and intelligent works on the African-American experience ever written by anyone, and yet to call her an African-American writer doesn t seem to do her justice. In many ways, she s simply an American writer and certainly one of our best. Beloved is a truly remarkable work. It was recommended for nearly every major literary prize, including the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and it in fact won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1988. Morrison herself is distinguished for having won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1993.What makes Beloved unique is the skillful, sure way in which Morrison blends intensely personal storytelling and American history, racial themes and gender themes, the experience of Blacks with the experience of all people everywhere, the down-to-earth reality of slavery with a sense of mysterious spirituality.We ll be paying special attention to these themes as we discuss this work.I m particularly interested in your views on the relative importance of race and gender in this book. Is it more important that Sethe, the main character, is black or that she s a woman? Which contributes more to her being? What does Morrison tell us about both?Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What do we learn about Toni Morrison?17. What honor did Toni Morrison receive in 1993?18. What does the speaker tell us about Sethe, the main character in Morrison s novel Beloved? Passage TwoThe topic of my talk today is gift-giving. Everybody likes to receive gifts, right? So you may think that gift-giving is a universal custom. But actually, the rules of gift-giving vary quite a lot, and not knowing them can result in great embarrassment. In North America, the rules are fairly simple. If you re invited to someone s home for dinner, bring wine or flowers or a small item from your country. Among friends, family, and business associates, we generally don t give gifts on other occasions except on someone s birthday and Christmas. The Japanese, on the other hand, give gifts quite frequently, often to thank someone for their kindness. The tradition of gift-giving in Japan is very ancient. There are many detailed rules for everything from the color of the wrapping paper to the time of the gift presentation. And while Europeans don t generally exchange business gifts, they do follow some formal customs when visiting homes, such as bringing flowers. The type and color of flowers, however, can carry special meaning.Today we have seen some broad differences in gift-giving. I could go on with additional examples. But let s not miss the main point here: If we are not aware of and sensitive to cultural differences, the possibilities for miscommunication and conflict are enormous. Whether we learn about these differences by reading a book or by living abroad, our goal must be to respectdifferences among people in order to get along successfully with our global neighbors.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What does the speaker say about gift-giving of North Americans?20. What do we learn about the Japanese concerning gift-giving?21. What point does the speaker make at the end of the talk?Passage ThreeHetty Green was a very spoilt, only child. She was born in Massachusetts, USA, in 1835. Her father was a millionaire businessman. Her mother was often ill, and so from the age of two her father took her with him to work and taught her about stocks and shares. At the age of six she started reading the daily financial newspapers and opened her own bank account.Her father died when she was 21 and she inherited $7.5 million. She went to New York and invested on Wall Street. Hetty saved every penny, eating in the cheapest restaurants for 15 cents. She became one of the richest and most hated women in the world. At 33 she married Edward Green, a multi-millionaire, and had two children, Ned and Sylvia.Hetty s meanness was well known. She always argued about prices in shops. She walked to the local grocery store to buy broken biscuits which were much cheaper, and to get a free bone for her much loved dog. Once she lost a two-cent stamp and spent the night looking for it. She never bought clothes and always wore the same long, ragged black skirt. Worst of all, when her son Ned fell and injured his knee, she refused to pay for a doctor and spent hours looking for free medical help. In the end Ned lost his leg.When she died in 1916 she left her children $100 million. Her daughter built a hospital with her money.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What do we learn about Hetty Green as a child?23. How did Hetty Green become rich overnight?24. Why was Hetty Green much hated?大学英语四级听力训练大学英语四级听力训练美文1Hotter or Colder ?It was once thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large citieswith factories and/or heavy automobile traffic.Today, we know that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem isliterally worldwide.On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered theentire eastern half of the United States and led to health warnings even in rural areas awayfrom any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic.In fact, the climate of the entire earth may be affected by air pollution.Some scientists feel that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resultingfrom the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a greenhouse effect holding inheat reflected from the earth and raising the world s average temperature.If this view is correct and the world s temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of thepolar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be underwater.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particulate matter in the atmosphere isblocking sunlight and lowering the earth s temperature a result that would be equallydisastrous.A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to new ice age and would makeagriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas.At present we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though onerecent government report prepared by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouseeffect is very likely).Perhaps, if we are very lucky, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world stemperature will stay about the same as it is now.大学英语四级听力训练美文2People with DisabilitiesPeople with disabilities acomprise a large part of the population.It is estimated that over 35 million Americans have physical, mental, or other disabilities.About half of these disabilities are developmental , i.e., they occur prior to the individual stwenty-second birthday, often from genetic conditions, and are severe enough to affect threeor more areas of development, such as mobility, communication, employment, etc.Most other disabilities are considered adventitious , i.e., accidental or caused by outsideforces.Prior to the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long.Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable.Advancements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people withdisabilities can expect to have such basic needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment.Unfortunately, these basics are often not available.Civil liberties such as the right to vote, marry, get an education, and gain employment havehistorically been denied on the basis of disability.In recent decades, the disability rights movement has been organized to fight against theseinfringements of civil rights.Congress responded by passing major legislation recognizing people with disabilities as aprotected class under civil rights statutes.Still today, people with disabilities must fight to live their lives independently.It is estimated that more than half of qualified Americans with disabilities are unemployed, anda majority of those who do work are underemployed.About two-thirds live at or below the official poverty level.Significant barriers, especially in transportation and public awareness, prevent disabledpeople from taking part in society.For example, while no longer prohibited by law from marrying, a person with no access totransportation is effectively excluded from community and social activities which might leadto the development of long-term relationships.大学英语四级听力训练美文3Will Man Conquer Space?Man will never conquer space.Such a statement may sound absurd, after we have made such long strides into space.Yet it expresses a truth that our forefathers knew and we have forgotten,one that ourdescendants must learn again, in heartbreak and loneliness.Our age is in many ways unique, full of phenomena that never occurred before and may nevercome again.。

[19] Biodiversity—the web of all life on Earth一depends fundamentally on plants and fungi. Plants are used by every human being on theplanet, every single day. Just think of what you ate for breakfast this morning, the cup of coffee at your desk, the clothes you're wearing. Plants provide the human race with food, fuel, medicine, clothing and shelter, whether we live in the countryside or a modern city, in Europe or in sub-Saharan Africa.• Plants provide invaluable services, they provide us with the very air we breathe, clean water and fertile soil and they help regulate the climate. Plants also provide habitats and food for mammals, birds and invertebrates around tile globe. [20] But we are living in an age of acute plant blindness. Somehow, while we make great strides in technology, many of us have forgotten the fundamental importance of the verythings on winch our lives ultimately depend.• P lant diversity is being destroyed at a greater rate than ever before and much of this is due to habitat loss through changes in land use. [21] We believe that economic development must go hand in hand with care for tile environment. At the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and other botanic gardens around the world, our plant scientists and horticulturists are working towards effective, science-based conservation solutions to ensue that we leave a healthy and hopeful world to the next generation.•19.

[22] One factor may be unconscious biases that could keep women physicists from advancing一and may even prevent women from going into physics in the first place.Amy Bug, a physicist at Swarthmore College, examined the bias question. Her research team trained four actors一two men, two women一to give a 10-minute physics lecture. Real physics classes watched the lecturers. [23] Then the 126 students were surveyed. When it came to questions of physics ability 一whether the lecturer had a good grasp of the material, and knew how to use the equipment—male lecturers got higher ratings by both male and female students.[24] But when asked how well the lecturer relatesto the students, each gender preferred their own. And while female students gave a slight preference to female lecturers, male students overwhelmingly rated the male lecturers as being superior. The research appears in the journal Physics World. 1 . CO FTI• [25] Bug says the results may be evidence of inherent biases that could hold women back—alongwith economic inequalities, such as lower wages and smaller start-up grants, which reduce career acceleration and thus the amount of force available to crack the glass ceiling LAMAMA f —ccic ccm•22. Q: According to the passage, why are there fewer women physicists than men physicists?A)U nconscious biases. C) Intelligent differenceB)Mental difference. D) Physical difference.•23.

M: I hear you are thinking about moving back into the dorm next semester.W: Who told you that? I‟d never give up my apartment.Q: What does the woman mean?12. M: I can‟t understand why Mary didn‟t telephone me.W: She did. Didn‟t I tell you? She said she was sorry she couldn‟t come for dinner, but hoped to be able to next time she came to town.Q: What does the woman say about Mary?13. W: Y ou can change planes in either Chicago or Denver.M: Y ou mean there‟s not a direct flight from New Y ork to Phoenix?Q: Where does the man want to go?14. W: Will Jim be able to come to the meeting?M: I don‟t know yet. When I phoned just now, his friend said he had taken his girlfriend out to the movies.Q: What can we learn from the conversation?15. M: Where can I learn more about your health and fitness training program? I think I would like to join your club.I really haven‟t taken very good care of myself.W: I will have you speak with the new account director.Q: What is the man going to do next?16. W: Hello, Mr. Green. I‟ve something to tell you. Would you mind if I called on you?M: Not at all. When would you like to come?Q: What does the woman want to do?17. M: Kathy, I want to hang this new picture, do you have a hammer I can borrow?W: No. But you could use this old shoe.Q: What does Kathy suggest the man do with the old shoe?18. W: I hope I haven‟t made this dish too hot for you.M: Too hot for me? It couldn‟t be. I love spicy food.Q: What does the man mean?Now you will hear the two long conversations.Conversation OneM: Morning, Alice. Still having problems with your faucet?W: No, got that fixed. But I have another headache — trying to make a decision about credit cards. Well, I need one but which one?M: Y es, that is tricky, especially since the rates are not standard.W: That‟s right. What people don‟t realize is that the credit associations like Visa and MasterCard don‟t issue credit cards or set terms and interest rates as individual banks do.M: So you will need to investigate what interest rates are charged by different issuers.W: Yes, also how the rates are actually calculated, I think.M: Alice, you should remember to ask them what rules you must follow to maintain these rates. If you don‟t pay off your bill, all new charges will begin rising immediately.W: Y es, that‟s another problem and banks charge varying amounts for annual membership, late payments and exceeding your credit line.M: Y ou know, I read somewhere that 70% of people with credit cards pay interest on their purchases and only about 2% of the cardholders knew the interest rate they were being charged. Nearly all credit card debt carries an interest rate of 24% or more.W: Wow, I guess I should ask a few hard questions.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. What’s the woman’s problem?20. Why is it important for the woman to know her grace period?21. What will the woman probably do next?Conversation TwoM: Hi, Susan, do you have anything planned for this Saturday?W: Uh, I‟m kind of busy. Why do you a sk?M: Oh, I was wondering if you‟d like to get together and do something, like watch a movie or take a walk down by the lake.W: I‟d love to, but I‟m really going to be busy all day on Saturday.M: What do you have going on that day?W: First, my mom asked me to help clean the house in the morning, and then I have a dentist appointment at 12:30. I can‟t miss that because I‟ve canceled twice before.M: Well, what about after that?W: Well, I‟m going to be running around all day. After the dentist appointmen t, I need to meet Julie at 2:00 to help her with her science project that‟s due on Monday morning at school.M: Okay, but are you free after that?W: Hardly. Then I have to pick up my brother from soccer practice at 4:30, and my mom asked me to cook dinner for the family at 5:30. I feel like a slave sometimes. Then, I have to clean the dishes and finish reading my history assignment. Who knows how long that‟ll take.M: Wow, sounds like you‟re going to have a full day. Hey listen, why don‟t I come over later in the evening, and we can make some popcorn and watch a movie.W: Oh, that‟d be great, but our video machine is broken.M: Huh. Well, let‟s just play a game or something.W: Sounds good, but give me a call before you come. My mom might try to come up with something else for me to do.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.22. Where does Susan have to go at 12:30?23. When is Susan going to meet Julie?24. What will Susan do after she cooks dinner?25. Why can’t the speakers watch a video at Susan’s house?Section BPassage OneNext time you bring your kids in for a checkup, don‟t be surprised if the doctor asks about their tastes and entertainment. The American Academy of Medicine suggested last week that doctors work with parents to evaluate how much TV kids watch and what they see, what video and computer games they play, which websites they visit on the internet, whether they play, website they visit on the Internet, whether they view R-rated videos with the company of their parents, what music they like and what books they read. Doctors are worried that kids who spend too much time in front of the tube don‟t get enough exercise and can become overweighted. The Academy is also concerned that the message the kids get from entertainment media can make them more violent and sexually active. The Academy recommends that children under age two not watch any TV. “Children need activities to stimulate the brain during the first two years of life”, says Doctor Marien Barren, who chair the Academy‟s Committee on public education. “They need feedback and socialization. Older children,” she says, “should watch TV in a common area. Their bedrooms should be electronic media free zones where they could have a quiet place to read, study, play or just relax.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What unusual question may doctors ask when giving kids a checkup next time?27. What does the academy suggest children under age two should do?28. What do we learn about children’s bedrooms from the report?Passage T woAn allowance is an important tool for teaching kids how to budget, save and make their own decisions. Children remember and learn from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly. How large an allowance is appropriate? Experts say there is no right amount. Actual amounts differ from region to region, and from family to family. To set an appropriate allowance for your child, work up a weekly budget. Allow for entertainment expenditures such as movies and snacks. Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, and school supplies. “If you make the child responsible for these …bills‟,” says Josephine Swanson, a consumer specialist, “he or she will learn to budget for necessary exp enditures.” Finally, add some extra money to make saving possible. If you can, keep your child‟s allowance in line with that of his friends. A child whose purchasing power falls away below his peers can feel left out. It can be tough, but avoid excusing your children when they make a mistake with their allowance. Experts advise that an allowance should not be tied directly to a child‟s daily chores. Kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they share responsibilities as members of a family. Y ou might, however, pay a child for doing extra jobs at home, which can develop his or her initiative.Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. What is the passage mainly about?30. What do the experts say about the appropriate allowance for a child?31. What do experts advise?Passage ThreeWhat will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology. With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. Today‟s leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medic ine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medic ine to repair their organs. The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on — in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.32. Which is the main cause for human death now according to the passage?33. In the speaker’s opinion, in which aspect does today’s most important advance in technology lie?34. Why humans may live longer in the future?35. What can we learn from the passage?Section CPocket electronic dictionaries, popular with students, are raising concern among local educators. Used primarilyby students studying English, it contains dictionaries and general information. The products range in price from several hundred yuan to several thousand, depending on the functions “The electronic dictionary lightens both my school bag and my work load,” said a middle school student. “Most of my classmates use electronic dictionaries for the convenience.” he said.Even some teachers defend electronic dictionaries. “Electronic dictionaries often allow students to read more,” said an English teache r. “they prefer to look up words they don‟t understand without having to leaf through a dictionary. They often find ordinary dictionaries are too complicated.”However, educators have expressed some concerns about the potential risks of allowing students to use these products.“The definitions are simplified and somewhat unclear compared with those in ordinary print dictionaries” said an official with an education commission. “Most of these devices do not include sample sentences which are of vital importance if a student is to learn correct usage.” he said.Another teacher provided an amusing example of what can happen when a student does not use a proper dictionary. “One of my students wrote in a composition …He asked her to marry him, but she garbaged him,‟ he said. I questioned him about his use of the noun …garbage‟ in this context and discovered that he wanted to use the verb …refuse‟, but he was not sure of its meaning, then he looked it up in a cheap dictionary, and saw refuse garbage!。

did a lot of walking and at the end of the week,they were very tired.[02:39.95]Bob went with Susan to the airport and saw her on a plane to London.[02:46.35]While he was waiting for his plane to Geneva,a mist began to form.[02:53.17]Eventually,his plane look off.[02:57.06]As soon as he sank into his seat,Bob fell fast asleep.[03:02.86]Unfortunately,as the plane flew to Geneva,[03:07.56]the

United States[04:53.75]is one of the world's oldest national flags.[04:58.06]Only the basic flags of Austria,Denmark,Great Britain,[05:03.86]the Netherlands,Sweden,and Switzerland are older.[05:08.74]During the discovery and the settlement of what is now the United States,[05:15.32]the flags of various European nations were flown over the land,[05:20.73]as symbols of possession.[05:23.74]Later,in the Colonial and Revolutionary War periods ,[05:28.83]lags representing famous persons,places,and events[05:34.32]were flown in the American Colonies.[05:37.71]The first official flag of the United States[05:42.00]was created by Congress on June 14,1777.[05:48.29]It consisted of 13 alternate red and white stripes[05:54.38]and 13 white stars in a field of blue,[05:58.97]representing the 13 colonies that had declared their independence in 1776 [06:07.39]Congress adopted a new flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes in 1779,[06:15.88]to give representation to the two new states admitted into the Union, [06:21.57]Vermont and Kentucky.[06:24.29]By 1817,there were 20 states in the Union,[06:29.67]and it became apparent[06:32.36]that adding one stripe for each new state[06:36.04]would destroy the shape of the flag.[06:39.23]As a result,Congress in 1818 restored the original design of 13 stripes [06:47.43]and provided that each state was to be represented by one star.[06:53.41]In 1912 President William H.Taft made the first official provision[07:01.09]for the arrangement of the stars.[07:04.49]He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each.[07:10.47]Previously the arrangement of the stars[07:14.86]had been left to the flag-maker's fancy.[07:18.44]The evolution of the Stars and Stripes[07:23.12]reflects the growth of the United States[07:27.11]After the admission of Hawaii into the Union in 1959,[07:33.09]the flag was officially changed for the 26th time since its creation.[07:39.21]There are many governments' flags flown in the United States[07:44.40]in addition to the national flag.[07:47.30]Among them are the president's and vice-president's flags[07:52.61]and those of the federal departments and some federal agencies.[07:57.81]Each state in the Union has an official flag.[08:02.40]The United States Navy uses special flags for signaling.[08:08.20]questions 6-9 according to Part B6.Before the Independence

Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing (29) clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people (30). A person’s self-concept is (31) in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s (32). In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives. Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliments because they believe they (33) praise.A shy person may respond to a compliment with a statement likethis one:” You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely (34), or at least reduced? Since shyness goes hand in hand with (35) self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths.People’s expectations of themselves must be realistic. Living on the impossible leads to a sense of inadequacy.。
