听力原文： Ask the average American,"What is freedom？"You will probably hear,"It's being able to do what I want to do." When Americans think of freedom, they often think of individualism.They see themselves more as individuals than as members of a family or social group.
In American culture.freedom means equality.The Declaration of Independence states that"all men are created equal."That does not mean equal in abilities or status.For Americans,equality refers to equal worth and equal opportunity. Every individual should have an equal chance to improve his life.True,America has not always lived up to that ideal.For many years,Native Americans,African Americans and immigrants have protested their unequal treatment. But American culture still teaches that people can work hard and fulfill their dreams.Whether this idea is true or not,people hear rags-to-riches stories often enough to confirm it in the minds of many people.
Freedom arouses strong feelings for Americans.The idea of liberty binds people together in this"land of the free." However,problems still exist.One individual's freedom can conflict with the rights of others. Someone once said,"You have the freedom to swing your fist around if you want.But your freedom ends where my nose begins."People can also become too concerned about their own rights.They might demand special treatment.However,the path to freedom is not completely smooth.Even so,for Americans,no other road is really worth traveling.
What do Americans often think of when thinking of freedom？
A．Collectivism.
B．Equality.
C．Social group.
D．Individualism.

Weight Control: The Power of Healthy Choices
What Is a Healthy Weight for Me？
This is a tough question to answer. Even though many people talk about weight, what really matters is how much of your body weight is fat. The body mass index (BMI) is an approximate measure of body fat. It is based on your height and weight. A BMI between 19 and 25 is considered a normal amount of body fat. If someone's BMI is 25 to 29.9, that person is said to be overweight. A person is said to be obese (过度肥胖的) if his or her BMI is 30 or higher. The higher your BMI is, the greater your risk for diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and certain cancers is.
Some Causes That Can Lead to Being Overweight
Having weight problems in your family.
Eating when you're lonely, sad, bored or stressed.
Eating because you feel pressured by friends or family to eat.
Using food for recreation, or eating just because food is available.
Taking medicine that makes you feel hungry.
Having hormone problems that slow your metabolism (how fast your body burns calories).
How Can I Lower My BMI？
The best way to lower your BMI is to reduce the total number of calories you take in and to be more physically active.Long-term success is not about finding the "right" diet. It's about identifying your behaviours that have contributed to taking in more calories than your body needs. It is also about making a plan to develop healthier eating and physical activity habits. For example, you may eat when you're under stress rather than when you're hungry. Choosing another activity to do when you feel stressed, such as taking a walk, may help you break the habit of eating at those times.
You're more likely to make changes in your habits if you set a specific goal for yourself. For example, instead of saying "I'm going to lose 20 pounds", decide that you'll be more active every other day of the week. Be specific about what kind of activity you'll do and which days you'll do it. Your new goal might be: "During my lunch hour on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I'm going to walk for half an hour in the park." Once your new healthy behaviour becomes a habit, you can move on to another goal.
Why Is Physical Activity a Big Deal？
Physical activity builds muscles, so even if you don't lose pounds, you will look and feel better when you are more active. Being active also reduces your risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes, even if you are overweight.
What Is the Best Kind of Activity？
First, ask your family doctor if there is any kind of physical activity that you should not do. Being more physically active doesn't mean you need to have a formal or complicated exercise program. Remember that the best kind of activity is the kind that you'll keep doing. Whatever activity you choose, try to do it for at least 30 minutes per day on most days of the week.
Aerobic exercises, such as swimming, walking or jogging, raise your heart rate and help burn calories. The longer you exercise, the more fat your body will burn. Walking can be very helpful even if you don't walk fast.
Light weight training also has many health benefits. It helps add muscle mass to your body. Muscle burns calories faster than fat does.
How Can I Change My Eating Habits？
Change them one at a time. For example, start by training yourself to eat without doing anything else at the same time.Focus on enjoying the taste and smell of your food by eating more slowly. Don't watch TV, talk on the phone or drive a car while you eat.
Healthy Habits
Eat breakfast.
Eat your biggest meal of the day at lunchtime.
Begin meals with a low-fat salad, soup, broth or a

The research, based at the Bristol Robotics Lab (BRL) , will look at the problems of a human and a robot working together in the same space; for example, in a kitchen where the service robot is performing a task such as stirring soup while you add cream.
Professor Chris Melhuish explained, " When we work with other humans, we are trying to understand facial expression, body movements, quality of voice, as well as sharing a goal and under-standing and following spoken instructions. "
" For example, in the soup situation, not only does the robot need to know what the goal is (making the soup) but he also needs to know how hard to stir the soup, what it means when you hold up your hand to say enough, to understand the look of pain on your face if you accidentally get wet with hot soup, and to stop stirring when told. The research aims to develop the rules we need to introduce this level of cleverness into service robots who are working closely with people. "
Professor Melhuish, of the BRL, said robots working in factories at present are kept behind gates for safety reasons—a measure that is not practical in the kitchen.
The research is a joint effort between robotic engineers and scientists from West of England and Bristol universities.
According to Professor Melhuish, a service robot should be able to______.
A．understand human instructions
B．show feelings by the looks on its face
C．follow the thoughts in its master's mind
D．express itself through body movements

Kelley's students have been writing to celebrities from across the nation asking for a photo and a few words of advice. "It really takes a lot of time and money," Kelley said. First, Kelley and his students make a list of all the celebrities to whom they want to write. Once a student picks a star, Kelley looks them up in his book of addresses to see if he can write to that person.
Writing to the stars takes a lot of time because he has to personalize each letter, print them out, and address them. In the letter, Kelley asks the celebrity to send his classes a picture with some advice he or she would give to today's youth.
Kelley takes up a collection in all of his classes and asks each student to contribute (捐) ft dollar to pay for the postage. Once Kelley mails off all the letters, the fun really begins. So far he has gotten back about 20 letters and pictures. "The only thing that isn't cool is when the celebrity sends the picture back with no advice on it, which is my entire purpose in doing this," said Kelley. When he gets at least three pictures returned, he lets his classes guess who the three stars are. He keeps score of how many celebrities each class has guessed. Jason Bryant, a student, said, "It's become a contest(竞赛) between the classes to see who can guess the most stars, and it's really fun."
What is the text about？
A．Celebrities sending photos to Kelley.
B．Celebrities giving advice to students.
C．Kelley and his classes writing to celebrities.
D．Kelley inviting celebrities to his classes.
