(33)Also in England in the 1600s,young men and women who were apprentices or servants returned home on Mothering Sunday, bringing to their mothers small gifts like costume jewelery or a" mothering cake". Sometimes a special food called furmety was served--wheat grains boiled in sweet milk, sugared and spiced.
In northern England and in Scotland. (35) the preferred refreshments were carlings, a kind of pancake made of steeped pease fried in butter, with pepper and salt. In fact, in some places this day was called Carling Sunday
Another kind of mothering cake was the simnel cake, a very rich fruit cake. (34) Mothering Sunday is sometimes known as Simnel Sunday or Refreshment Sunday, because of the tradition of baking simnel cakes. The Lenten fast dictated that the simnel cake had to keep until Easter. It was boiled in water, then baked, and was often finished with an almond icing. Sometimes the crust was of flour and water, having an orange color.

听力原文: The entertainment profession, or" show business", attracts many young people. Unfortunately, only very few can hope to become famous and prosperous. (32) Talent is not enough, because show business is as competitive as any other business. (32) (33) Without a good manager, a performer can never hope to succeed. This is true for actors, dancers and comedians, but perhaps most of all for singers.
"Pop" stands for" popular", and (32) (34) a pop singer has to work very hard to become popular. He must either give the public what they already want, or he must find a new way of singing that will attract their attention. (34) Even when he has succeeded and his records are sold everywhere, he cannot relax.
The life of a successful pop singer is not at all easy. He can only relax when he is alone, (35) because everything he does is watched and reported in the special newspaper written for the" fans". The fans are the most important people in the world for a singer. They buy his records, they go to his concert, and make him rich and famous. But they can be very annoying, too. Sometimes their enthusiasm gets so hysterical that they do anything to get a" souvenir". They steal handkerchiefs, they tear off buttons, and they even cut off pieces of the unfortunate singer's hair. Many singers have been forced to hide. A pop singer has to spend a lot of money on clothes, because he must always look smart, or, at any rate, different. He must have a luxurious car. And-most important-he must always keep smiling for the benefit of his public.

听力原文: The podcast revolution is erupting all over the world—and seemingly all at once. (29) Why is it getting so popular? The technology is simple to master and podcasting software is inexpensive, sometimes even free. Two Chinese students are receiving international fame as millions of people around the world watch them podcast from their dormitory. They are called the Back Dormitory Boys, and they specialize in mouthing Backstreet Boys' songs. Although most people in China don't have iPods, podcasting is sweeping the country. (30) The Back Dormitory Boys are among the thousands of Chinese who are putting their own homemade audio and video up on the Internet for all to enjoy. "You just gotta love two guys making a fool of themselves, and gaining international attention," said "Good Morning America" technology expert Becky Worley. The Internet is becoming more and more popular with China's youth; (31) about 60 percent of the 100 million Chinese who use the Internet are under the age of 24. "This generation grew up with values that are very, very similar to their peers in the United States," said Huang Hung, publisher of Time Out Beijing. "You're going to see a complete change in the cultural landscape of China." Already, podcasting has taken off in the United States. Earlier this year, 19-year-old Gary Brolsma skyrocketed to Internet fame with what he calls his "Numa Numa" dance—a lip sync to a Romanian pop song.

Camps help children, too. For most children, overnight camp is the only time during the year independent. Campers live together in cloth tents or in wood cabins. They eat their meals together in a large dining room. Sometimes, however, the first time at summer camp can be difficult. Children might not like living with other campers. They might not like the food. Or, they might not like to do things like swimming in a cold lake. Some new campers miss their parents very much.
Mental health expert Chris Thurber studied almost 330 boy campers, who were between the ages of eight and sixteen. They were staying at an overnight camp. 83% reported that they wished they were at home at least one day during their time at camp. The American Camping Association suggests that parents prepare children before sending them to camp. They say parents should let children help choose the camp. And they advise parents to discuss what the camp will be like and what campers will need to know. Experts say young children may feel better at camp if they bring a toy from home and if their parents write letters to them often.
