听力题 Welcome to Wildlife Haven! Now we''re away from the city in a remote area between a national park and the sea. To encourage you to relax, there are no radios or TVs and the only phones and newspapers are in the office. So, if peace and quiet is what you''ve come for, this is the place to be. Your luggage will be unloaded from the bus and taken to your rooms in a few minutes. Once you have picked up your key at reception, please locate your room and check that all your luggage has arrived. Tomorrow, there is a beachcombers and rock-hoppers tour, exploring marine life in the rock pools along the beach. Or, if you''d prefer to go inland, there''s a guided forest walk that takes you off the walking tracks. If you want to catch some lunch, you could join the beach fishing expedition. And at night, you''ll see there is a moonlight forest walk that leaves each night at 7:00 p.m. So there is plenty to choose from at Wildlife Haven, and of course, that includes just sitting on your balcony watching the waves roll in.

听力题 We have all heard about the importance of a balanced diet and seen poster after poster illustrating the four basic food groups and advising us to eat something from each group every day. Medical research has shown that the lack of a balanced diet can cause any number of physical problems, from fatigue to headaches to cancer. But if we take a wider view we realize that it is not the lack of a balanced diet that causes problems. A bad diet is the symptom of more deeply rooted social, cultural, and economic problems. When people don’t eat right, it is often because they can not afford to do so or because they have been so inundated with ads for fast food that they find convenience more attractive than good health. It may be because the stress of competing for success in school or at work has them seeking the comfort of candy bars, alcohol, and perhaps even drugs. Poverty, mass-marketing, and aggressive competition: these are the real causes of all the diet-related diseases. Putting posters of the four food groups in our classrooms will not begin to solve the real problems, which are too large to reduce to pictures on the wall.

听力题 There are many reasons why family life in Britain changed so much in the last fifty years. The liberation of women in the early part of the twentieth century and the social economic effects of World War II had a great impact on traditional family life. Women became essential to industry and professions. During the war they had worked in factories and proved their worth, now, with the loss of million of men, their services were indispensable to the nation. More recently, great advances in scientific knowledge, and particularly in medicine, have had enormous social consequences. Children are better cared for and are healthier. Infant death rate is low. Above all, parents can now plan the size of their family if they wish through more effective means of birth control. Different attitudes to religion, authority and tradition generally have also greatly contributed to changes in family life. But these developments have affected all aspects of society. It is particularly interesting to note that the concept of "the family" as a social unit has survived all these challenges.

听力题 Imaging this: You wake up each morning to find your sister lying beside you, to get dressed and tie your shoes, you use one hand and she uses another. You do everything out together, too, even sitting on the same chair at lunch and riding on the same bicycle. That''s what life is like for six-year-old Betty and Abby. Like most twins, the two girls look very much alike, but unlike most twins, Betty and Abby share parts of the same body. Twins like Betty and Abby are rare. Only about 40 sets are born in the United States each year. Few survive as long as Betty and Abby. That''s because twins often share vital organs, like a heart or brain. The shared organs are often badly shaped and may not be strong enough to support both twins. But Betty and Abby each has her own head, heart and stomach which function normally. Because she has three or four lungs which provide plenty of oxygen for both twins. Most of their completely shared organs lie below the waist. Betty and Abby live relatively normal lives. They attend a regular school, and each does her own school work. They prefer to do some projects together, though, for example, to cut out paper dolls, one twin holds the paper, while the other uses the scissors. But sometimes, the girls don''t want to do the same thing, for example, sometimes they want to play with different toys. What do they do then? "We toss a coin", says Abby.
