听力题 Scientists say sharks have lived in the world''s oceans for millions of years. Scientists say there are more than three-hundred-fifty different kinds of sharks.
Sharks do not have bones, and a shark has an extremely good sense of smell. It can find small amounts of substances in the water, such as blood, body liquids and chemicals produced by animals. Sharks also sense electrical and magnetic power linked to nerves and muscles of living animals. These powerful senses help them find their food. Some sharks will eat just about anything. Many unusual things have been found in the stomachs of some tiger sharks. They include shoes, dogs, a cow''s foot and metal protective clothing.
About forty percent of the different kinds of sharks lay eggs. The others give birth to live young. Some sharks carry their young inside their bodies like humans do.
Scientists are beginning to understand the importance of sharks to humans. Medical researchers want to learn more about the shark''s body defense system against disease. They know that sharks recover quickly from injuries. Sharks appear never to suffer infections, cancer or heart diseases.

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 Experts say some farming activities are seriously damaging Earth''s environment. Bad farming methods can damage soil, forests and water supplies. They also have caused some plants and animals to disappear.
Two groups now say that bad farming methods are threatening the ability of farmers to produce enough food to feed the world population in the future.
The groups used satellite images, maps and modern equipment to study the effect of agriculture on the environment. The study found that the destruction of soil is widespread. Important organic nutrients are being removed from farmland.
Agriculture uses seventy percent of the freshwater in the world each year. The study found that many farmers are wasting water supplies. In addition, chemicals designed to protect crops may pollute waterways.
The report also says as much as thirty percent of the world''s forests have been cut down so the land could be used for agriculture. This has led to a severe loss of wildlife and their environments.

听力题 There was once a man in South America who had a parrot, a pet bird that could imitate human speech. The parrot was unique. There was no bird like him in the whole world. He could learn to say any word except one. He could not say the name of his native town—Katano. The man did everything he could to teach the parrot to say "Katano", but he never succeeded. At first he was very gentle to the bird. But gradually, he lost his temper. "You, stupid bird.
Why can''t you learn to say that one word? Say ''Katano'', or I''ll kill you!" But the bird would not say it. Many times the man screamed, "Say ''Katano'', or I''ll kill you!" But the bird would never repeat the name. Finally, the man gave up. He picked up the parrot and threw it into the chicken house. "You are even more stupid than the chickens."
In the chicken house, there were four old chickens, waiting to be killed for Sunday''s dinner. The next morning, when he went out to the chicken house, the man opened the door. He was shocked by what he saw. He could not believe his eyes and ears. On the floor lay three chickens. The parrot was screaming at the fourth, "Say ''Katano'', or I''ll kill you!"
