听力原文:W: Jack, have you and Anne decided when you're going to get married?
M: Next year, we hope, Mom, but we are not sure about it. It is not easy to find a house.
W: Have you made any inquiries yet?
M: Yes. It's almost impossible to find an unfurnished house to rent. There are lots of furnished flats, but the rents are very high.
W: How much does it cost to buy a plot of land and build a house? Have you any idea?
M: I haven't a very definite idea. Between 30 and 40 thousand pounds at least. It's no use thinking about building a house.
W: And even if you had a house, there'd be the furniture, and all sorts of other things.
M: Yes, I know. Anne and 1 have been saving up. We've saved a few thousand pounds, and could buy furniture. But the house is still the problem.
W: What size of the house would you want, Jack?
M: Oh, quite a small one. A living room and a kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom.
W: Suppose your dad and I offer to help, Jack?
M: Oh, Mom! That would be wonderful! But do you mean it? Are you serious?
W: I think we could offer you some money. It's time you and Anne were married. Your father married before your age. Talk about it to Anne and find out where Anne would like to live--in the suburbs, or right out in the country.
M: Anne will be de. lighted, I'm sure. And we both like to build our house in the country. Thank you, Mom! We shan't have to spend weeks and weeks hunting house now.

There is little doubt that lifestyle. are changing and that these changes will have an influence on the way business operates in t he years ahead. Several factors are causing lifestyle. changes in US society.
First, there is more leisure time than ever before. (30)The workweek is now less than forty hours, as compared to seventy hours a century ago. Some experts believe it will be twenty-five hours or less before the year 2000. Several firms have adopted four-day workweeks with more hours per day. Others have cut the number of hours worked each week. Reduced work schedules mean increased leisure time.
Second, families have fewer children than before and young couples are postponing childbirth instead of having their children early in the marriages.

Now Gerber products include infant clothing, stuffed animals, and accessories such as bottles, baby's carriages, and baby powder.

Passage 1
Archaeologists have long thought that stone ships served as graves for one or several individuals, and have even been viewed as death ships _1_ to take the dead to living eternally. However, a new study conducted by researchers from the University of Gothenburg shows a different picture. It suggests Bronze Age stone monuments in the form. of ships were built by sailors as a symbol of their practices at sea. The study indicates that the stone ships and the activities that took place there point to people who were _2_ focused on practices at sea.Details found within the stone structures show they were built to _3_ real ships. The stone ships offer up _4_ about the ship-building techniques of the time and about the ships that sailed on the Baltic Sea during the Bronze Age. “These consist of areas that resemble hill forts and are located near easily _5_ points in the landscape—that is, near well-known waterways leading inland,” Wehlin, head of the team, said. “While these areas have previously been thought to be much younger, recent age _6_ have dated them to the Bronze Age.” Archaeologists have believed that bronze was _7_ to Scandinavia from the south, and recent analyses have helped confirm this _8_. However, the people who distributed the bronze objects are _9_ addressed in these thoughts. “One reason why the meeting places of the Bronze Age are not discussed very often is that we haven’t been able to find them,” Wehlin said. “This is in _10_ contrast to the trading places of the Viking Age, which have been easy to locate as they left behind such rich archaeological material.”
