听力题 The period of engagement is the time between the marriage proposal and the wedding ceremony. Two people agree to marry when they decided to spend their lives together. The man usually gives the woman a diamond engagement ring. That tradition is said to have started when an Austrian man gave a diamond ring to the woman he wanted to marry. The diamond represented beauty; he placed it on the third finger of her left hand. He chose that finger because it was thought that the blood vessel in that finger went directly to the heart. Today we know that this is not true, yet the tradition continues. Americans generally are engaged for a period of about one year, ff they are planning a wedding ceremony and a party. During this time, friends of the bride may hold a party at which women friends and family members give the bride grits that she will need as a wife. These could include cooking equipment or new clothing. Friends of the man who is getting married may have a bachelor party for him. This usually takes place the night before the wedding. Only men are invited to the bachelor party. During the marriage ceremony, the bride and her would-be husband usually exchange gold rings that represent the idea that their union will continue forever. The wife often wears both the wedding ring and the engagement ring on the same finger. The husband wears his ring on the third finger of his left hand. Many people say the purpose of the engagement period is to permit enough time to plan the wedding. But the main purpose is to let enough time pass so the two people are sure that they want to many each other. Either person may decide to break the engagement. If this happens, the woman usually returns the ring to the man. They also return any wedding gifts they have received.

听力题 If you plan to remain in the United States for any length of time, you will soon find it too expensive to stay in a hotel and will want to find another place to live. As is true in cities everywhere in the world, the farther you live outside the city, generally the lower the rents will be. However traveling to and from the city by bus, car, or train may make it as expensive as living in the city. Naturally, it is easier to join in the life of a city if one is close to the center of the cit-y. For this reason, you may prefer to live as close to the center of the city as possible. Or, you may prefer to rent a place for only a month or two until you become more familiar with the area. Your best source of information about either houses or apartments is likely to be the local newspaper. Usually, the week''s most complete listing of houses or apartments to rent appears in the Sunday newspaper, which, in many cities, can be obtained late on Saturday night. Many people looking for houses or apartments believe that they have a better chance of finding a place to live if they have all the information as soon as possible. On Sunday morning, they are ready to call or visit.

听力题 The most important thing about first aid is to do only what is necessary, but to do that as carefully and quickly as you can. When an accident happens, don''t rush or get excited. Stop and think first. If the injured person is in no immediate danger from fire, water, or traffic, leave him lying where he is. A rolled-up coat or pullover placed under his head, and a coat or blanket over him, is the best treatment you can give while waiting for help. If the person is unconscious, loosen his clothing, especially round the neck. If an arm or leg lies awkwardly and looks out of shape, try not to move it. Remember that you can do a lot of harm by trying to do too much. Of course, there are times when you can''t wait for help and you must do the best you can until a doctor or ambulance arrives. If the injured person has stopped breathing, you must start artificial respiration as soon as possible. If he is bleeding badly, you must act immediately to stop the flow of blood. If you can''t stand the sight of blood, take a few deep breaths through your mouth. This will enable you to think clearly and act calmly.

听力题 A six-year-old boy has been found alive after spending four days and five nights in an icebox that was buried under tons of ruins in Thursday’s big earthquake. The boy, Tom, was found early yesterday in the village of Sem as rescuers were working to pull his father out of the ruins of their home. Hearing a faint cry of “get me out, get me out,” rescuers dug down another 1.5 m and found the boy in the icebox. He was pronounced in a good condition, suffering only four or five slight wounds. Tom’s eight brothers and sisters died in the earthquake, which officials say may have killed as many as 50,000 people. By Sunday foreign doctors were leaving the earthquake areas as hope had faded of finding any more survivors.

听力题 Brighton is a popular seaside town on the south coast of England. Not long ago some policemen at Brighton were very puzzled. There had been several serious accidents caused by motorists driving too fast. The police started to set up a speed trap. They measured a distance of 88 yards on a straight road and watched to see how long a car took to travel that far. They knew that if a car took less than six seconds, it was traveling faster than the speed limit of 30 miles an hour. When the policemen were ready, they hid behind a hedge and started to time passing vehicles. During their first half an hour, they caught five drivers. The policemen wrote down the number of each car and the name and address of the driver. But for the next half an hour the policemen did not see anybody driving too fast. They thought that this was very strange. One of them drove a quarter of a mile along the road and saw two students sitting on the grass. They were holding up a sheet of cardboard so that motorists could see it. On the notice one of the students had written: "Danger. Speed Trap." The policemen took the notice away and wrote down the names of the students. Later on they were each fined ￡ 5 for trying to stop the policemen from catching motorists who were breaking the law.
