听力原文: When you see a clever advertisement in a newspaper, do you say to yourself, "Ah, that's good. I'd like to have one of those"? Or do you say, "What lies are they telling this time? It can't be very good or they wouldn't have to advertise it so cleverly"? Both of these people exist; the first are optimists; the second, pessimists and realists.
Advertisements can be extremely useful if they are honest; if, let us say, you have broken your pen and you want to buy another, the first thing to do is to look at as many advertisements for pens as you can find. That will help you to choose the model, color and price that suit you. Advertisements save a lot of time and trouble by putting sellers in touch with buyers in a quick and simple way. If the advertisements are true and accurate, the customers will be satisfied and will probably buy from the same firm next time and advise their friends and acquaintances to do the same.
The really dishonest advertiser hopes to sell his goods quickly and to make a large profit on them before the customer's reactions begin. He knows that no customers will buy from him a second time, and that none will recommend his products to their friends. But there are also semi-dishonest advertisers. They make claims for their products which they know perfectly well to be incapable of verification, like advertising that a certain toothpaste contains a particular substance—which it in fact does—knowing that this substance is in fact neither beneficial nor harmful to the teeth. Such advertisements do not tell downright lies, but their advertising is deliberately misleading.

A.Trust all advertisements and make purchases accordingly.
B.Get suitable colors and prices from advertisements.
C.Doubt the truthfulness of advertisements.
D.Admire the clever ways advertisements are made.
听力原文: Father's Day was first observed in Spokane, Washington, in 1910. [32] Mrs. Dodd first proposed the idea of a "father's day" in 1906. Mrs. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart, who was widowed when his wife died in childbirth after their sixth child was born. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself. Mrs. Dodd wanted Father's Day to be celebrated on the first Sunday in June, her father's birthday. But it wasn't until 1966 that President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation, declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day. [33] In 1972, President Richard Nixon established a permanent national ceremony of [34] Father's Day to be held on the third Sunday of June, coming almost sixty years after Mother's Day had been proclaimed a national holiday. Today, Father's Day has become a day to [35] not only honor your father, but all men who act as a father-like figure, such as stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers, and adult males.

听力原文: A lot of people think that cultural anthropology is just about studying the special and strange aspects of a society, but anthropologists are also interested in the aspects of life that seem so ordinary that the people in the society think they're not significant. Let me give you an example. I see lots of T-shirts here in class today, but you probably don't think of them as an important part of your culture, but anthropologists could learn a lot about the culture of the US just by studying the T-shirt. For one thing, T-shirts are a mark of how casual clothing has become in America. No one was quite sure where they came from, but the T-shirt first became popular in this country as an undershirt for Sellers in the 1940s. Then in the 1950s, it became a sign of rebellion for teenagers to wear this white undershirt by itself, not under anything. By the 1960s and 70s, T-shirts had become accepted as part of the uniform. views. You could even say that they came to symbolize that generation's attitude towards informality and all things, including dress. Another aspect that anthropologists would find interesting is that T-shirts are used to express personal opinions. Look around this room, you know who likes watching TV shows, who went where on vacation, who belongs to what organizations on campus. All of these aspects of our culture are printed on your T-shirts. OK, I want to stop for a minute and ask you to try to write down five different conclusions you could reach about American culture from just the T-shirts in this classroom.

A.The effect of ordinary aspects of life on anthropology.
B.A good source of information about a society.
C.Attitudes toward culture in the 1940's.
D.The relationship between anthropology and military.
W: No,Simon.I hate demonstrations.I have heard the police will be standing by with tear gas.
M: Yes,but North Korea boasts it has nuclear arms.
W: One hundred ninety countries have signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, but the issues are just too complex.There are two sides to every story.I don't understand it and I have no intention of going to a demonstration.Demonstrations don't seem to accomplish anything anyway.
M: Several demonstrations have changed politician's minds throughout history. As a responsible citizen I think it is important to stand up for what you believe in.
W: Leave it to someone else.As I said,if you listen to both sides of a story,both sides have some good points. Why should I demonstrate and risk getting hurt for something that I am not even sure is right?
M: You are not likely to get hurt. This will be a peaceful demonstration. I have spoken to the organizer for the university group. He insists that this will be peaceful. He advocates if you want world peace, peace begins at home, and that means right here in this city.
W: You go if you want, Simon. But I plan to study for my physics exam.
M: It would only take two hours of your day. The bus leaves the campus at 11:30 and leaves downtown to return to campus at 12:45. You could eat your lunch on the bus.
W: I am not going. Simon. Why don't you ask the students in your political science class this afternoon if they want to go?
M: They are all going.
W: Okay, Simon. I need to meet my sister for coffee now.
M: Bye then. See you in physics class tomorrow.

听力原文:M: Is Mr. Cheng in the office?
W: He won't be in the office today. I'm his assistant. Perhaps I can help you.
M: I need an extension for a paper. And my professor said I would have to get special permission from the dean.
W: For what course?
M: World history, Prof. Brown's course.
W: Is this a term paper or a paper written instead of a final exam?
M: It's to take the place of the final exam.
W: So usually, it would be due on the last day of the exam period, which is this Friday. That's two days away. Don't you think you could have the paper finished by then?
M: I haven't even started yet. You see, I've been sick since last Saturday with flu. I just left hospital this morning.
W: So you were in the hospital for 4 days?
M: Yes, from Saturday until today.
W: Generally for this kind of case, we can postpone the exam or the due day of a paper by the number of days the student has been iii, in your case, by 4 days.
M: That means I'll be able to hand in my paper next Tuesday instead of this Friday.
W: That's right. But first you have to fill out this form, writing down the name of the course, your reasons for the extension and so on, then take the request to the hospital to have it signed by the doctor, then bring it back to me today. And I'll have a copy sent to Prof. Brown.
