Q: What is said to be special about English vocabulary？

W: And what's the other advantage of English？
M: It's that English grammar is really quite easy. For example, it doesn't have dozens of different endings for its nouns, adjectives and verbs, not like Latin, Russian, and German for example.
W: Why is that？
M: Well, it's quite interesting actually. It's because of the French. When the French ruled England, French was the official language and only the common people spoke English. They try to make the language as simple as possible, so they made the grammar easier.

听力原文：W: A great day, isn't it？
M: I guess so. But I feel awful because I watched TV until after midnight last night.
W: After midnight! Did you watch so late because you were bored？ I usually watch TV only ff I have nothing better to do.
M: Bored？ No, I was upset because I left my meal tickets in the cafeteria.
W: That worth more than fifty dollars. So, did watching TV make you feel better？
M: A bit. But after I turned the TV off, I just felt disgusted with myself for wasting so much time.
W: I've had that feeling before.
M: I had intended to watch just one program, but somehow I couldn't make myself switch off the TV.
W: Actually, I've read that there's a scientific explanation for that. It seems that there's a part of the brain that processes complex information, but that part becomes less active while watching TV.
M: That's certainly how I felt last night--like my brain wasn't very active.
W: That's not the worst of it. If you watch TV a lot, or for a long time, that part of the brain--the part that processes complex information, shows lowered activity and you become more and more passive.
M: That's incredible.
W: Next time you feel upset, you should go swimming. That's what I do, and it always makes me feel better.
M: I suppose. Now I've got to go to the cafeteria and get some more meal tickets.
(23)
A．When she's bored.
B．When there is a good program on.
C．After midnight.
D．After swimming.
听力原文：M: You're not still watching television, are you？
W: I enjoy your television--I'll have to watch lots more while I'm here. The camera-work was very good. It looked like the work of real experts. Er... how long has television been going in Britain？
M: Oh, since 1936.
W: Ah!
M: (19) Only in the London area at that time, though. There wasn't any television during the Second World War. It started up again afterwards. The BBC was the organization responsible for it.
W: What do the initials BBC stand for？
M: (20) British Broadcasting Corporation. It's a public corporation. It isn't controlled by the government, but it's not a private company either. That means that the government can't use the BBC for propaganda purpose, and nor can private individuals or firms.
W: Is there any advertising？
M: Not on the BBC, ITV gets its money from advertising, though.
W: ITV？
M: ITV stands for Independent Television. It was started in 1954 again in the London area. It covers the whole country now, though.
W: What do people think of the advertisements on television？
M: It depends. A lot of people think it's a good idea because it means that television can pay its way--the ITV gets all its money from the advertisements.
W: What about the BBC？
M: You have to pay a TV license of ￡7 a year that goes to the BBC. Or ￡ 12 for color. A lot of people don't like having to pay and wish that there were advertisements on the BBC too. On the other hand, (21) other people hate TV advertising because they think it's an insult to their intelligence.
(20)

B．There was no television anywhere in England.
C．There was television, but only in the London area.
D．There was television somewhere in Britain.

W: The next generation has begun to look at retirement a little differently. Why limit that last "vacation" to just a few years and to a time when your health might be too poor to let you do all the things you've planned to do？ They are determined to alter that fate.
M: Do they have any way to lengthen their period of retirement？
W: They have a simple solution. Just retire earlier. Don't wait until age 65. Retire at 50. You will be able to enjoy life after retirement for 15 or 20 years. This is a nice strategy, but there are still some problems.
M: What are they？
W: First, quitting work at 50 deprives you of 15 of your most productive years, and you accumulate less money to support yourself in retirement. Second, you are not going to die at 68, you are likely to live longer. It means your money must last you longer.
M: Do you mean that to retire earlier than scheduled is not a good solution？
W: In fact, because of these reasons, retirement as you know will not even exist.
M: How can you say that？
W: This sounds both horrifying and incredible. However, it's a natural evolution of society. Because what many retirees discover after a while is that they've become just bored. Going to work can solve that problem. Work can be mentally challenging and stimulating, and lots of fun, especially you know you're doing it because you want to, not because you have to.
(23)
A．Because he thought the job was boring.
B．Because his health got poor.
C．Because he wanted to enjoy his life with his family.
D．Because he wanted to realize his dreams of life after retirement.
