听力原文： Money means different things to different people. We have all heard or used expressions such as, "How much money do you want for this？ How much money do you make？" and "They have a lot of money." It is obvious that money does not mean the same thing in each of these expressions. In the first expression, money refers to a price; in the second, to income; and in the third, to wealth. The confusion arises because money is the standard in terms of which we value all material goods and services. For most of us, both income and wealth are considerably greater than our holdings of money. Income is the net revenue we receive for the sale of our services or of the products of our services. Wealth is the accumulation of past savings of income. Most of us hold only a small part of our wealth in the form. of money.

25.What is used as the standard to value all material goods and services？

26.What may be greater than our holdings of money？

27.What is wealth？

A．Three items.

B．$10.8.

D．U.S. Dollars.

听力原文： In public speaking, the watch word is preparation. Most of us tend to put things off, at least occasionally. It's so easy to put things off especially those things we do not look forward to doing. So if the speaking engagement is several weeks off, we may feel that we still have plenty of time. But as the day draws closer, we begin to panic. Don't let this happen to you. Start preparing as soon as you're given or accept the speaking assignment. You have much to do and to do it right will take time. How much better your speech will be and how much better you'll feel if you have taken the time to do it right! When you are prepared, you have gathered the needed data, determined what is appropriate to the listener's understanding and acceptance levels, organized the ideas so they flow logically, selected examples and other supports for your ideas and made them interesting to your listeners, developed a great opening that you know will capture the attention of even the daydreamers in your audience checked out the room where you'll be speaking and requested any feasible changes you wish in the set-up of the room If you are prepared, you are confident that you can best convey your message to your listeners. If you waited until a few days before your presentation to begin to prepare, or worse, yet, the day before, no doubt you'll be anxious and with good reason. And now there is not enough time to engage in more than a superficial attempt. Both you and the audience will feel uncomfortable, like retirement planning. It is never too early to start preparing for your presentation. So, start preparing right away.

(33)

A．Confidence.

B．Preparation.

C．Informativeness.

D．Select appropriate materials.

听力原文： Stress is a very normal part of life. Most people feel stress at some time in their lives. It doesn't come from an event itself, that is, from the things that are happening in our lives. It comes from the meaning we give to what has happened. We can experience stress any time we feel we don't have control. It can come from a feeling that we can do anything about a situation.

Stress is not just caused by our mental or emotional condition. It is also influenced by how tired we are, whether we have a balanced diet with enough vitamins and minerals, whether we get enough physical exercise and whether we can relax. If we feel stressed, there are several things that we can do. First, we need to learn how to relax and breathe slowly and smoothly.

We can also take some time out of our worried, busy schedule to notice the small things in life. Smell the air, look at the flowers, notice the small designs in the leaves on a tree -- these activities can do much to quiet us and to give ourselves a small break in a busy schedule.

We need to take care of our bodies. Being tired makes it easier for us to get sick and to develop physical problems related to stress. We need to get enough rest, eat well, and do some regular exercise.

Finally, we need to find what is causing the stress in our lives. Once we have found it, we need to begin to change that part of our lives. If we believe that we can control stress, we can begin to control our lives.

(34)

A．An unexpected event.

B．The understanding to an event.

C．The things that happen in our lives.

D．The influence of others.

听力原文：W: Hi, Tom.

M: Kate, I haven't seen you for weeks. Where have you been？

W: In Florida.

M: What？ Vacationing while the rest of us have been studying on the campus in the February cold？

W: Not exactly. I spent most of my time underwater.

M: I don't understand.

W: I was on a special field trip. I went with my marine biology class.

M: So you went scuba diving. What were you looking for, sunken treasure？

W: You might say so. The sea is full of treasures. All kinds of strange, fascinating organisms. Our class concentrated on studying plankton.

M: I thought they were too small to be seen.

W: That's a common misconception. The plankton covers a wide variety of freely floating plants and animals. From one-celled organisms to large ones, such as the common jelly fish.

M: Jelly-fish may be large enough to be seen. But they are transparent, aren't they？

W: Yes, most floating plants and animals have transparent tissues. It makes them practically invisible to their enemies.

M: But not invisible to your biology class, I hope.

W: By concentrating, I was able to see the outlines of lots of different plants and animals, In fact, our professor even took photo of some small oceanic snails.

M: How would the snails show up in the photo if they are transparent？

W: We painted them with a harmless green dye. Since particles of the dye stuck to the tissues, the snails appeared in a green outline in the photos.

M: That sounds like an interesting trip.

W: It really was.

M: But I think if I had been there, I'd much rather have spent my time just swimming and lying in the sun.

o take on part-time jobs. To make finding those jobs easier, the placement services put together a listing of what is available locally. For some students these part-time jobs could lead to full-time work after graduation as they may offer experience in their own fields, be that finance, marketing, or even management. For example, National Savings Bank offers work on a half time basis: that's twenty hours a week. Retail stores and restaurants have positions requiring fewer hours, even less time for those providing child care. We have a number of families registered with us who are looking for babysitters for as few as four hours a week. For students who prefer outdoor work, there are seasonal positions right on campus working with the gardening and landscaping teams. Those often require the most time and are. the least flexible in terms of scheduling. To see a complete list of these and other available jobs, including the salary offered and the hours required, stop by our office. In addition, our counselors will give you hints about successful interviewing.

How many hours does National Saving Bank offer the part-timer to do per week？

A．4 hours.

B．20 hours.

C．24 hours.

D．More than 4 hours.

Woman: OK. What sort of things would you like？

Man: Just a light lunch, I think, so that people can eat while they move around and talk to each other. You did something similar for us last year - we'd be happy to have the same menu again.

Woman: Right, I'll look in my diary and see what you had. Oh, I nearly forgot to ask you, how many should I cater for？

Man: Well, I think most people will be able to come. Perhaps around 25. No, let's say 30 to be sure.

听力原文： In preparing a book, I asked several successful executives to tell me what they thought students should study if they wanted to succeed in business. They listed only a few technical subjects accounting and finance, for example. But time and again, these executives identified philosophy as one of the most important areas you can study for learning how to think in a disciplined, analytical, and imaginative way.

The way that philosophy helps you see the world is no less real than its practical benefits to your career. Studying philosophy exposes you to a wide range of problems that you wouldn't meet otherwise. It simply lets you see more of the world. It stretches your imagination. It challenges you to come up with your own answers to tough issues that do not have ready-made solutions.

Studying philosophy helps you to develop insight into some of life's great puzzles and to fashion your own vision of what life is all about. As you go through life, you will be challenged all along the way to make decisions about who you are and what's important to you. Philosophy helps you develop a sense of what life is all about and where you're going.

In fact, Socrates, one of the first great philosophers, thought that philosophy is the single most important element in making our lives worthwhile. "The unexamined life," he said, "is not worth living." In Socrates' mind, at least, philosophy makes it possible for us to control our own destiny.
