听力原文: Because of the severe drought which has continued this year, water rationing will go into effect on Monday. Lawns can not be watered with automatic sprinklers; driveways, porches, and dicks can not be hosed down. You may water by hand, but only on even-numbered days. Cars can be washed on Wednesdays only. The city has hired a new drought patrol crew, which will be looking for offenders. If you are caught, there will be a $50 fine for the first offense and a $100 fine for the second offense. We realize that this is strict, but the drought has affected us dramatically. We ask your cooperation in conservation water. Besides the drought roles, we ask that you be prudent in your household water use. Turn off the faucet while you brush your teeth. Take short showers; you might even consider turning off the water as you soap up. Don't wash dishes under running water, and when you wash your clothes, save the final rinse water to begin your next load. Thank you for listening. Let's all work together to save our community's water.

听力原文
Passage Two While Gail Opp-Kemp, an American artist, was giving a speech on the art of
Japanese brush painting to an audience that included visitors from Japan, she was confused
to see that many of her Japanese listeners had their eyes closed. Were they turned off
because an American had the nerve to instruct Japanese in their own art form? Were they
deliberately trying to signal their rejection of her? Opp-Kemp later found out that her
listeners were not being disrespectful. Japanese listeners sometimes close their eyes to
enhance concentration. Her listeners were showing their respect for her by chewing on her
words. Someday you may be either a speaker or a listener in a situation involving people
from other countries or members of a minority group in North America. Learning how
different cultures signal respect can help you avoid misunderstandings. Here are some
examples: In the deaf culture of North America, many listeners show applause not by
clapping their hands but by waving them in the air. In some cultures, both overseas and in
some minority groups in North America, listeners are considered disrespectful if they look
directly at the speaker. Respect is shown by looking in the general direction but avoiding
direct eye contact. In some countries, whistling by listeners is a sign of approval, while
in other countries, it is a form. of insult.
