听力原文： How do the birds manage to find their way？ There seems to be no single answer: they use many methods. Some we are beginning to understand; and there may be some that depend on abilities we have not yet suspected. Many birds certainly follow major geographical features. Migrants follow recognized land, fly over familiar sea and arrive at their summer homes.
But all birds cannot use such straightforward methods. An Arctic sea bird, for example, has to fly at least 3,000 kilometers across the Antarctic Ocean with no land to guide it. We know that some birds flying at night, navigate by the star for on cloudy nights they tend to get lost.
Day-flying birds may use the sun. If they are to do so, they must have a precise sense of time. Still others appear to be able to use the earth' s magnetic field as a guide. So it seems that many migrating birds must carry in their brains a clock, a compass and the memory of a map.

A．They use many different methods.
B．All birds follow major geographical features.
C．All birds use their memory of a map.

听力原文： The ten years of the 1960s was a period of profound change in many parts of the world．In the United States，beginning with the Civil Rights Movement in the early 1960s，and extending through the Vietnam War，millions of Americans began to challenge established authority．These movements were initially political．Young Americans demanded that governmental policies in race relations and international relations correspond to the ideals of justice contained in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States．By the end of the decade，however，challenges to authority were carried far beyond political issues and were directed at the social order and deeply rooted cultural patterns of the country．
The generation that came of age in the 1960s，the Baby Boom generation，sought change in almost every aspect of life in the United States．For example，they experimented with cooperative economic institutions and communal living arrangements，broke sexual taboos，altered the process of education，explored non-Western spiritual traditions，developed a strong respect for the environment，and transformed popular culture．As a whole，these changes stood for a different set of cultural values that provided a thorough critique of American society as it existed at that time．Although many“alternative lifestyles”were short-lived，cultural changes that began in that period have had a continuing effect on much of American life，particularly in attitudes toward male-female relations．
All cultures are complex．They are a combination of closely related patterns of social interaction．As a result，changes in an important aspect of a particular culture will usually produce changes throughout the society．The Women's Movement that began in the United States during the 1960s is a typical example of this phenomenon．From the beginning，the Women's Movement was influenced by cultural changes that had occurred earlier in the decade．The Civil Rights Movement for racial equality and the development of the birth control pill were particularly important—the Civil Rights Movement because women involved in the effort for racial justice began to see themselves as victims of social injustice，and the birth control pill because it gave women reliable control over reproduction．
Social，economic，and legal equality and reproductive rights continue to be the basic principles of the Women's Movement．As some of these goals have been achieved，major changes have occurred in broader cultural patterns such as the economy and the family．At the present time，most of American women are employed．Employment is no longer confined to such traditional female occupations as teacher，nurse，or secretary．Women are now found in every occupation and at all levels of responsibility and authority．Participation in the economy has given many women an independence that has allowed them to choose whether，when，and how to form. a family．Working women within families now are part of an economic partnership with men in which both adults provide support for the family unit and are responsible for the quality of life．
The Women's Movement has affected the relationship between men and women in the family in other ways as well．Women have challenged traditional sex roles in the household．Men are now expected to participate in child-raising and domestic activities to a much greater extent than in the past．Childbearing is now a matter of family choice，with women having the final decision in family planning．
All of these cultural changes are strengthened in both the media and in the educational system．Children are growing up with self-images and expectations far

New Year Traditions
"Happy New Year!", that greeting will be said and heard for at least the first couple of weeks as a new year gets under way. But the day celebrated as New Year's Day in modem America was not always January 1.
Ancient New Years
The celebration of the New Year is the oldest of all holidays. It was first observed in ancient Babylon about 4000 years ago. In the years around 2000 BC, the Babylonian New Year began with the first New Moon (actually the first visible crescent) after the Vernal Equinox (first day of spring) .
The beginning of spring is a logical time to start a new year. After all, it is the season of rebirth, of planting new crops, and of blossoming. January 1, on the other hand, has no astronomical or agricultural significance. It is purely arbitrary.
The Babylonian New Year celebration lasted for eleven days. Each day had its own particular mode of celebration, but it is safe to say that modern New Year's Eve festivities pale in comparison.
The Romans continued to observe the New Year in late March, but their calendar was continually tampered with by various, emperors so that the calendar soon became out of synchronization with the sun.
In order to set the calendar right, the Roman senate, in 153 BC, declared January 1 to be (the beginning of the New Year. But tampering continued until Julius Caesar, in 46 BC, established what has come to be known as The Julian Calendar. It again established January 1 as the New Year. But in order to synchronize the calendar with the sun, Caesar had to let the previous year drag on for 445 days.
The Church's View of New Year Celebration
Although in the first centuries A. D. the Romans continued celebrating the New Year, the early Catholic Church condemned the festivities as paganism. But as Christianity became more widespread, the early church began having its own religious observances concurrently with many of the pagan celebrations, and New Year's Day was no different. New Year is still observed as the Feast of Christ's Circumcision by some denominations.
During the Middle Ages, the Church remained opposed to celebrating New Years. January 1 has been celebrated as a holiday by Western nations for only about the past 400 years.
New Year Traditions
Other traditions of the season include the making of New Year's resolutions. That tradition also dates back to the early Babylonians. Popular modern resolutions might include the promise to lose weight or quit smoking. The early Babylonian's most popular resolution was to return borrowed farm equipment.
The Tournament of Roses Parade dates back to 1886. In that year, members of the Valley Hunt Club decorated their carriages with flowers. It celebrated the ripening of the orange crop in California.
Although the Rose Bowl football game was first played as a part of the Tournament of Roses in 1902, it was replaced by Roman chariot races the following year. In 1916, the football game returned as the sports centerpiece of the festival.
The tradition of using a baby to signify the New Year was begun in Greece around 600 t3. C. It was their tradition at that time to celebrate their god of wine, Dionysus, by parading a baby in a basket, representing the annual rebirth of that god as the spirit of fertility. Early Egyptians also used a baby as a symbol of rebirth.
Although the early Christians criticized the practice as pagan, the popularity of the baby as a symbol of rebirth forced the Church to reconsider its position. The Church finally allowed its members to celebrate the New Year with a baby, which was to symbolize the birth of the baby Jesus.
The use of an image of a baby with a New Year's banner as a symbolic representation of the New Year was brought to early America by the Germans. They had used the imag
A．It was first celebrated in Babylon.
B．It was first celebrated about 4,000 years ago.
