听力原文： When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available community services such as adult daycare centers. If the caregivers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other responsibilities. In contrast, a spouse usually the wife, is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home. Social workers discover that the wife normally tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can in order not to use up their life savings. Researchers have found that caring for the elderly can be a very positive experience. The elderly appreciated the care and attention they received. They were affectionate and cooperative. However, even when care-giving is satisfying, it is hard work. Social workers and experts on aging offer caregivers and potential caregivers help when arranging for the care of an elderly relative. One consideration is to ask parents what they want before they become sick or dependent. Perhaps they prefer going into a nursing home and can select one in advance. On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children. Caregivers must also learn to state their needs and opinions clearly and ask for help from others especially brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters are often willing to help, but they may not know what to do.

Questions:

29. Why are adult children more likely to use community services to help care for elderly parents？

30. Why are most wives unwilling to put their dependent husbands into nursing homes？

31. According to the passage，what must caregivers learn to do？

(30)

A．They think they should follow the current trend.

B．Nursing homes are well-equipped and convenient.

C．Adult day-care centers are easily accessible.

D．They have jobs and other commitments.

听力原文： Many large cities are anything but beautiful. Streets are littered with trash. In this trash, however, there is still something that can be useful.

If people want to solve the problem of waste, there is no time to be lost. They must work out ways of making use of good things which are just thrown away as waste.

When a car gets too old, it may not run any more. But the metal that the car was made of is still good. It can be put to use again. When a bottle is empty, it goes out in the trash. But bottle glass can be ground into sand and used to pave streets.

Garbage from food can be changed into fertilizer. But first you have to fish out all the glass and metal.

Garbage can also be a good source for making building blocks, which are then covered with concrete. Now, more and more machines are designed for this purpose. Some day, people will watch films in a magnificent cinema which has been built out of garbage. Future buildings, roads, and cities may be made from garbage. But so far, building beautiful cities out of garbage is only a dream.

(33)

A．Garbage Can Be Changed into Fertilizer.

B．Overcoming the Problem of Waste.

C．Making Buildings with Garbage.

D．Large Cities Are Anything but Beautiful.

听力原文：Cars are an important part of life in the United States. （29) Without a car most

听力原文： Cars are an important part of life in the United States. (29) Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesn't feel really poor when he has a car. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today. There are three reasons the car became so popular in the United States. First of all the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form. of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money. The second reason that cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form. of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently. (30) The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don't like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don't like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have. (31) The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, which does not use so much gas.

(30)

A．When they don't have a car.

B．When they live in a huge country.

C．When they don't use planes.

D．when they have a car.

Now however there is at least one group of happy commuters. These are the people who travel under the bridge instead of on it. They go to work by boat and enjoy it se much that' most of them say they will never go by car again. The ferry they take is spacious, quiet and comfortable. Commuters can enjoy the sun on deck, In the morning they can have breakfast in the coffee shop. And in the evening they can order a drink in the bar while looking at the beautiful scenery. The trip takes only 30 minutes and is not very costly. But best of all, being on a boat seems to make people friendlier toward each other. There has already been a marriage of two commuters who met on the ferry.

Because the ferry has been so successful, there are plans to use other still larger boats. There is also a proposal for a high speed boat that will make the trip in only 15 minutes. But not everyone is happy about that. A lot of people feel that half an hour is just enough time to relax.

(30)

A．They are delighted because they can enjoy the scenery while driving.

B．They are frightened because traffic accidents are frequents.

C．They are irritated because the bridge is jammed with cars.

听力原文：Are you interested in knowing about how to find a place to stay when traveling in

听力原文： Are you interested in knowing about how to find a place to stay when traveling in the United States？

Well, If you arrive by air, you will see plenty of hotels advertised at airports. If you arrive by train or car, probably the best thing to do is to look into the Yellow Pages under Hotels, Motels or Lodgings. You can start by comparing the services offered in their ads. In any case, you'll have to call them and see if they have the kind of room you're looking for.

Places for stay may be called hotels, motels or motor hotels, inns, lodges or resorts. They are all similar. Motels have plenty of parking space and are usually near a freeway or highway. Inns are usually like hotels. Lodges and resorts, or resort hotels, are in the mountains, on the coast or near lakes. Beds also go by many different names. Starting with the smallest, there are single, twin, double, queen and king size ones. "Long boys" are for exceptionally tall people. At some hotels, queen beds are of smallest size, so a double room has two of them. Some hotels even offer their guests waterbeds. Hide-a-beds are sofas that unfold out to make beds.

People who prefer camping to staying in hotels will have a hard time in American cities, because most of them don't have campgrounds nearby. You can camp in state and national parks, though, which generally have facilities for both tents and trailers.

It is my sincere wish that you will have a good time touring the States, and find a nice place to rest yourself.

(23)

A．To look at the hotels advertised at airports.

B．To look into the Yellow Pages under Hotels, Motels or Lodgings.

C．To compare the rooms offered by the hotels.

D．To call the hotels and book a room in advance.

听力原文：Robert recently attended a lecture on safety at a neighborhood center. The speake

听力原文： Robert recently attended a lecture on safety at a neighborhood center. The speaker was Detective Garcia of the New York Police Department. Here is what he said:

The first thing you need to do is to get to know your neighbors. Don't be shy. Introduce yourself, especially to people who live in your building. We people who live in large cities often are reluctant to make friends, but it may save our lives later. So make sure that you know your neighbors and that they know you.

Second, don't carry a lot of money with you. If you're a man, put your wallet in your front pocket; it's harder for a pickpocket to lift it out without your knowing. Women, get a purse with straps that you can slip over your shoulder and under your arm. Don't carry a small purse that a robber can grab from you easily.

Third, if you are mugged, don't resist. I wish people would listen to me when I say that. A month ago a fifty-year-old man ended up in a hospital because he thought he could beat a mugger in a fight. But if he hadn't tried to be a hero, that probably wouldn't have happened. Don't try to be a karate expert. Give the mugger what be wants. As soon as he leaves, call the police. Report any lost credit cards without delay.

Finally, remember that there's safety in numbers. Try to avoid dark, deserted streets at night. Also, do not get on empty subway cars. If you're traveling at night, get on the car with the conductor.

(30)

A．A detective from the Los Angeles Police Department.

B．Detective Garcia from the New York Police Department.

C．Someone who lives in the neighborhood.

D．Robert's neighbor.
