听力题 The first step in stopping drug abuse is knowing why people start to use drugs. The reasons people abuse drugs are as different as people are from one to another. But there seems to be one common thread: people seem to take drugs to change the way they feel. They want to feel better or to feel happy or to feel nothing. Sometimes, they want to forget or to remember. People often feel better about themselves when they are under the influence of drugs, but the effects don''t last long. Drugs don''t solve problems, they just postpone them. No matter how far drugs may take you, it is always a round trip. After a while, people who misuse drugs may feel worse about themselves and they will use more and more drugs. If someone you know is using or abusing drugs, you can help. The most important part you can play is to be there. You can let your friend know that you care. You can listen and try to solve the problem behind your friend''s need to use drugs. Two people together can often solve a problem that seems too big for one person alone. Studies of heavy drug users in the United States show that they felt unloved and unwanted. They didn''t have close friends to talk to. When you or your friends take the time to care for each other, you are all helping to stop drug abuse. After all, what are friends for?

听力题 The history of plastics is longer than you might expect. In fact the first man-made plastic ever to appear on the market was made over a hundred years ago. It was discovered both by an Englishman and by an American in the same year. But it was the American who first manufactured it on a large scale during the 1860s. Everybody was excited by this new material which was so cheap to buy. Poor young men working in smoky cities were able to buy plastic collars. These collars were hard and uncomfortable. But they did not have to wash them. The poor young men could rub them clean every evening with soap and water. Poor mothers who had not been able to afford playthings for their children, were now able to buy them playthings made of plastic. The history of plastics is longer than you might expect.

听力题 "Sesame Street" has been called "the longest street in the world". That is because the TV program by that name can be seen in so many parts of the world. The program started in New York in 1969. In the United States, more than six million children watch the program regularly. Parents praise it highly. Many teachers consider it a great help. Tests have shown that children from different backgrounds have benefited from watching "Sesame Street". Those who watch it five times a week learn more than the occasional viewers. In the United States the program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly. In its American form, "Sesame Street" is shown in nearly fifty countries. Three foreign shows based on "Sesame Street" have also appeared: In Spanish, Portuguese, and German. The program uses songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relations. Why has "Sesame Street" been so much more successful than the other children''s show? Many reasons have been suggested: the educational theories of its creators, the skillful use of a variety of TV tricks, the famous stars on "Sesame Street", etc. But the best reason for its success may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more. "Sesame Street" has been called "the longest street in the world".
