听力原文： When my interest shifted from space to the sea, I never expected it would cause such confusion among my friends, yet I can understand their feelings (32) . As I have been writing and talking about space flight for the best part of 20 years, a sudden switch of interest to the depth of the sea does seem peculiar. To explain, I'd like to share my reasons behind this unusual change of mind (35) . The first excuse I give is on economic one. Underwater exploration is so much cheaper than space flight (33) . The first round-trip ticket to the moon is going to cost at least 10 billion dollars if you include research and development. By the end of this century, the cost will be down to a few million. on the other hand, the diving suit and a set of basic tools needed for skin-diving can be bought for 20 dollars. My second argument is more philosophical. The ocean, surprisingly enough, has many things in common with space. In theft different ways, both sea and space are equally hostile. If we wish to survive in either for any length of time, we need to have mechanical aids (34) . The diving suit helped the design of the space suit. The feelings and the emotions of a man beneath the sea will be much like those of a man beyond the atmosphere.

But is there another cost, a deeper cost, to documenting a life experience instead of simply enjoying it？ "You hear that you shouldn&39;t take all these photos and interrupt the experience, and it&39;s bad for you, and we&39;re not living in the present moment," says Kristin Diehl, associate professor of marketing at the University of Southern California Marshall School of Business.
Diehl and her fellow researchers wanted to find out if that was true, so they embarked on a series of nine experiments in the lab and in the field testing people&39;s enjoyment in the presence or absence of a camera. The results, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, surprised them. Taking photos actually makes people enjoy what they&39;re doing more, not less.
"What we find is you actually look at the world slightly differently, because you&39;re looking for things you want to capture, that you may want to hang onto," Diehl explains. "That gets people more engaged in the experience, and they tend to enjoy it more."
Take sightseeing. In one experiment, nearly 200 participants boarded a double-decker bus for a tour of Philadelphia. Both bus tours forbade the use of cell phones but one tour provided digital cameras and encouraged people to take photos. The people who took photos enjoyed the experience significantly more, and said they were more engaged, than those who didn&39;t.
Snapping a photo directs attention, which heightens the pleasure you get from whatever you&39;re looking at, Diehl says. It works for things as boring as archaeological(考古的)museums, where people were given eye-tracking glasses and instructed either to take photos or not. "People look longer at things they want to photograph," Diehl says. They report liking the exhibits more, too.
To the relief of Instagrammers(Instagram用户)everywhere, it can even makes meals more enjoyable. When people were encouraged to take at least three photos while they ate lunch, they were more immersed in their meals than those who weren&39;t told to take photos.
Was it the satisfying click of the camera？ The physical act of the snap？ No, they found; just the act of planning to take a photo—and not actually taking it—had the same joy-boosting effect. "If you want to take mental photos, that works the same way," Diehl says. "Thinking about what you would want to photograph also gets you more engaged."
What does the author say about photo-taking in the past？
A.It was a painstaking effort for recording life’s major events.
B.It was a luxury that only a few wealthy people could enjoy.
C.It was a good way to preserve one’s precious images.
D.It was a skill that required lots of practice to master.
Kristin Diehl conducted a series of experiments on photo-taking to find out __________.A.what kind of pleasure it would actually bring to photo-takers
B.whether people enjoyed it when they did sightseeing
C.how it could help to enrich people’s life experiences
D.Whether it prevented people enjoying what they were doing
What do the results of Diehl’s experiments show that people taking photos？A.They are distracted from what they are doing.
B.They can better remember what they see or do.
C.They are more absorbed in what catches their eye.
D.They can have a better understanding of the world.
What is found about museum visitors with the aid of eye-tracking glasses？A.They come out with better photographs of the exhibits.
B.They focus more on the exhibits when taking pictures.
C.They have a better view of what are on display.
D.They follow the historical events more easily.
What do we learn from the last paragraph？A.It is better to make plans before taking photos.
B.Mental photos can be as beautiful as snapshots.
C.Photographers can derive great joy from the click of the camera.

听力原文： Pamela Royal and her partner Edith Clark are the owners of the sea-view hotel in Brighton. As much of their business is seasonal, they do a good deal of the work themselves. In order to make a profit, it is necessary to keep down the cost of extra staff. Although they've never made a fortune for the last ten years, they have earned a reasonable living from the hotel. They work extremely well together and each has her own duties. In general, Pamela does the bookkeeping. She is excellent with figures and seldom makes a mistake. She also takes care of the decorations, particularly the flower arranging, which is her hobby. Edith on the other hand, makes all the staff arrangement, and when necessary, does the cooking. She is a very patient woman. And if guests make complaints, she tries her best to solve their problems. However, the two ladies do not do all the work themselves. They usually employ college students to do the cleaning and washing up. Old Albert, who is a retired policeman, goes in two hours a day to do the gardening and takes care of the swimming pool. Both ladies are very popular. They believe in having an informal relationship with the guests and often make friends with the regular visitors. Last month was their tenth anniversary in Brighton, and they had a dinner for their friends to celebrate. Pamela gave a speech and everyone wished them lots of success for the future.
