听力原文:M: What happened at your farm when the earthquake passed?
W: Oh, it was terrible, I'll never forget it to my dying day. I hope I never see anything like that again. It was terrible.
M: But that's incredible, Mrs. Skinner. Did you say that everything in front of your house had moved?
W: Yes, everything had moved into the place of the other!
M: But your front path had completely disappeared?
W: Yes, that's right. Oh it was terrible, terrible.
M: And your husband Jack? Was he all right?
W: Yes, but the cowshed had moved too, it had moved several metres. Jack was all right, I could see him running round after the cows, all the cows had escaped, you see. They were running all over the place, it was impossible to catch them.
M: So Jack, your husband, was all right.
W: Well he was a bit shocked like me, but he was all right. Oh, I forgot to tell you about the granary that had moved south too. Its normal place was behind the house and now it was near the cowshed. Can you believe it?
M: Incredible, Mrs. Skinner. And the house itself, what about your house?
W: Well then we saw what had happened. Everything had moved one way, that is, to the south, except the house. The house, can you believe it, had moved the other way—the house had moved north. So the house went one way and everything else—the garden, the trees, the granary—went the other way.
M: Incredible, Mrs. Skinner, absolutely incredible.

M: The assignment? No, not yet.
W: But tomorrow's the deadline.
M: Anna, take it easy. I can always pull it together in no time.
W: Hey, don't you think playing PC games takes up too much of your time?
M: Oh, computer games represent the latest technology. You can't simply ignore them.
W: I know. You can play as much as you like during the holiday, but not now. It's affecting your studies.
M: It's not. I feel I'm getting smarter day by day, and my reaction time is much quicker.
W: You only become alive and alert at those war games. In class, I saw you doze off.
M: It's not my fault. The textbooks are boring and the lectures are tedious. I dislike those teachers who love to call the roll. But the games are interesting, challenging and can broaden my mind as well.
W: I didn't say the games are all bad, but you can't play games all the time. Have you ever considered what you will do if you fail the exams?
M: well…
W: I know it's not easy to resist the temptation, but self-discipline is essential to one's success. It's part of one's character. Look at yourself in the mirror. You look pale and haggard. See, you have nothing but half a life.
M: Really? Oh, heavens!

Are thoughts and behavior. determined by heredity (遗传) or by environment? Social scientists have long been interested in this question; the results of "twin studies" are particularly interesting to them.Twin studies of the similarities and differences between twins.There are two types of twins: identical twins, who look exactly the same because they have identical genetic characteristics, and fraternal twins, who have different genetic characteristics.In a 1937 study, Newman, Freeman, and Halzinger found that identical twins are more similar in height and weight than fraternal twins.Because identical twins have the same genetic characteristics, the conclusion was that size is determined more by heredity than by environment.In 1962, James Shields compared the height, weight, and intelligence of identical twins who were brought up together (in the same environment) with those of identical twins brought up apart (in different environments).He found that although the differences were small, identical twins who were brought up together were more similar than those brought up apart.Shields concluded that height, weight, and intelligence are largely determined by heredity.However, because of the differences between identical twins brought up together and those brought up apart, these characteristics may be partly determined by environment.
In the case of Oscar and Jack, heredity seems to determine physical and mental abilities, tastes, and behavior.Environment seems to determine thought.

submit to interviews. In 1879, an American named

American correspondents helped transforming the 【S4】______
standing of the interview in Britain. One of them
recalled, "You saw the immemorial aloofness of the

American journalists at Sandringham; you beheld the
holy of holy of the British War Office as the setting 【S6】______
of a weekly conference with reporters."
The World scored with the pope (Benedict

M: Ok! I knew that the brakes of my car needed repairing, but I did nothing about it, until one night I dreamt I was driving my car along a familiar road. Suddenly I had to brake because I was driving towards a wall. However, when I put my toot on the brake nothing happened and I crashed into the wall.
W: Oh! That's amazing! How about your second one, Jack?
M: I was walking down an unfamiliar road when I reached a dark and miserable house. Grey clouds covered the sky, and so I went inside the house where I found a poor, pathetic person, wearing clothes similar to those my wife wore. I didn't recognize her and felt sorry for her. There was nothing else in the dream but when I woke the next morning, I felt the misery and unhappiness of it all day.
W: It's quite special. And how about your third one, do you have anything special to say? M: One day I was sitting in my office, listening to a group of colleagues whispering and talking about me. I couldn't hear what they were saying but it worried me. That night I dreamt exactly the same sequence again, except that in my dream I saw something I'd missed during the day. While they were whispering they were all looking down at something. The next morning when I woke up I realized exactly why they'd been whispering and talking about me. That day was my birthday. Wasn't it possible that they'd been looking down at a birthday card? My dream was right. I did get a card from my colleagues, whom I'd suspected of talking about me.

听力原文:M: I'm Jack with human resources consultant Sharon Smith, and (19) this week on our program World master —(20) surviving a job interview! Ms. Smith, what's your advice for an interviewee?
W: Well, (21) firstly avoid a flat monotone voice that people sometimes get when they are nervous. Besides, showing your passion and your eagerness to work for that company will add much.
M: (20) What should the interviewee do for interview questions?
W: Good interviewers will ask you very detailed questions and they'll want to know specifically your role in a particular project. So the key to giving a good answer to an interview question is to do what I call a STAR, S-T-A-R. The S and the T stand for explaining a situation or a task that you were given, the A is the action you took and the R is the results.
M: So what you're saying is that you need to be prepared before you walk in the door.
W: Right. Go through some mock interviews. Practice in the mirror, answering questions. Go in with three or four things you really want to stress about yourself. Then you can bring those out no matter what question is asked.
M: (20) How do you follow up after an interview?
W: Please send a thank-you letter or e-mail. Express sincere appreciation for the time that they spent interviewing you. (22) You have an opportunity tore-emphasize some of your strongest qualities and how your skills match their needs.

He saw palaces grander than any in Europe, sculptures of great beauty, large, finely-carved precious stones.., a new world full of many wonders. After leaving China, Marco Polo traveled to Japan, southeastern Asia, India, and eastern Africa as a representative of the Chinese ruler.
In 1292—two hundred years before Columbus—the great voyager set out for home. The stories of China he brought back spread quickly throughout Europe. Europe was never again the same.

听力原文: About two percent of the population of the United States is of Asian origin—some five million people. Chinese, Japanese, and Philippines form. the largest groups. However, there are also significant numbers of Asian-Indians, Pakistanis, Koreans, and Vietnamese now living in America. As a result of the war in Vietnam, some 350,000 refugees from that country have entered the United States since the early 1970s.
Chinese and Japanese workers were imported into the United States by employers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.Most of the Chinese settled in California, where they were employed mainly in heavy industries, such as mining and railroad construction. They were faced with intense prejudice and discrimination, especially from lower-class white people, who saw them as a source of threat to their jobs. The retreat of the Chinese into distinct Chinatowns was not primarily their choice, but was enforced by the hostility they faced. Since Chinese immigration was ended by law in 1882, the Chinese remained largely isolated from the wider society—at least until recently.
Most of the Japanese immigrants also settled in California and the other Pacific states. During World WarⅡ, following the attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan, all Japanese Americans in the United States were made to report to“relocation centers”which were effectively concentration camps. In spite of the fact that most of the Japanese were American citizens, they were compelled to live in the hastily established camps for the duration of the war.

There would probably have been other successful commercial growers before Fish if Florida had not been under Spanish rule for some two hundred years. Columbus first brought seeds for citrus trees to the New World and planted them in the Antilles. But it was most likely Ponce de Le6n who introduced oranges to the North American continent when he discovered Florida in 1513. For a time, each Spanish sailor on a ship bound for America was required by law to carry one hundred seeds with him. Later, because seeds tended to dry out, all Spanish ships were required to carry young orange trees. The Spaniards planted citrus trees only for medicinal purpose, however, they saw no need to start commercial groves because oranges were so abundant in Spain.
What is the main topic of the passage?
A.The role of Florida in the American Revolution
B.The discovery of Florida by Ponce de Le6n in 1513
C.The history of the cultivation of oranges in Florida
D.The popularity of Florida oranges in London in the 1770's
