"How was your weekend？"
This question comes up at workplaces all over the United States every Monday morning as people greet each other. It is another way of saying, "How did you spend your leisure time？"
In the Unites States the way people spend their leisure time is an important part of their identity. Perhaps everybody does nearly the same thing all day in the office or the factory, but leisure time is what makes people distinct and reveals who they are.
For many people, leisure time means going somewhere -- to a museum, a concert, a restaurant, or a baseball game. Or it means doing something such as playing volleyball, backpacking, swimming, singing in a chorus (合唱), or playing in a park with their children. For other people, free time means staying home with wonderful sources of entertainment, such as VCR, stereo or cable TV with dozens of channels. Others pursue creative activities such as cooking, gardening, and home improvement. The latest stay-at, home activity is "surfing (冲浪) the net" -- that is, looking for information and entertainment on the Internet.
In the United States, leisure time is big business. Enormous amounts of money are spent by competing enterprises that make and sell the goods and services that people use in their free time. In fact, shopping itself is an important leisure time activity. Spending a day at a giant mall has become, for some people, as interesting as spending the day at museum or amusement park.
People in the United States are ultimately not much different from others in what they do in their leisure time. The real difference may lie in the energy, time, money, and sheer enthusiasm that they devote to it.
Why do Americans often greet each other by asking "How did you spend your leisure time？"
A．Because they are interested in the different pastime activities.
B．Because leisure time is what makes people different from each other.
C．Because they are bored with the job they have done for the whole week.
D．Because everybody does the same thing all day long.

听力原文：W: Dr. Smith, thank you for coming to our program.
M: My pleasure.
W: When you said that the Internet is causing a decline in psychological well-being, what do you mean by that？
M: Well, psychologically, people are getting more depression and loneliness than before, especially for those who spend long time on the Internet.
W: So if people spend just a few hours a week on the Internet, they would not have the bad feeling then？
M: Not really. Actually, it's not the long time on the Net that causes them feel bad but the state of being on the Net does.
W: But you said you had much brighter expectations at first.
M: Yes, we supposed that the Net would prove to be socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.
W: Then, why did the result turn to be completely contrary to your expectations？
M: Well, people on the Net do have more "virtual" communication, but this kind of faceless and bodiless communication is less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation. And they reduce their time being with family and friends. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world via the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.
W: The Internet should be found guilty of this phenomenon, right？
M: I don't think so. It's not about the technology; it's about how it is used. It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology.
22．What really makes people feel bad on the Internet according to the man？
23.Which is included in the expectations of the man at first？
24.Why do people get less happiness from the spiritual aspect？
25.What is the radical reason for this phenomenon according to the man？
(23)
A．Spending more hours on the Internet.
B．Spending fewer hours on the Internet.
C．The state of being on the Internet.
D．Their brighter expectations not being met.
第5题
M: Well, you're obviously not aware the government is spending money on some forms of public transport. For example, some train services have been improved. But most people want to use their cars, so the government needs to spend most money on improving the roads.
W: Why not make people who use the roads pay a bit more to discourage people from using their cars？
M: I really can't agree with you there. It just isn't fair to make driving something that only rich people can afford. Many people need to use their cars and they're dependent on them, particularly those in the country.
W: Can we do something to make people stop using their cars？
M: In a modem society you just can't do so. The whole economy would collapse.
W: So your opinion is...
M: To improve roads will help people get to work faster, so people spend less time in their cars and of course this therefore causes less pollution. That's the only realistic answer.
(23)
A．Too many private cars.
B．Too many buses.
C．Too many trains.
D．To many taxis.

Why do People Shrink？
Did you ever see the movie Honey, I shrunk the kids？ It's about a wacky(乖僻的) dad (who's also a scientist) who accidentally(偶然的) shrinks his kids with his homemade miniaturizing(使小型化) invention. Oops! The kids spend the rest of the movie as tiny people who are barely visible while trying to get back to their normal size.
_________ (1)It takes place over years and may add up to only one inch or so off of their adult height (maybe a little more, maybe less), and this kind of shrinking can't be magically reversed, although there are things that can be done to stop it or slow it down. But why does shrinking happen at all？
_________(2).As people get older, they generally lose some muscle and fat from their bodies as part of the natural aging process. Gravity (the force that keeps your feet on the ground) take hold, and the bones in the spine, called vertebrae(椎骨), may break down or degenerate, and start to collapse into one another. _________ (3).But perhaps the most common reason why some older people shrink is because of osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis(骨质疏松症) occurs when too much spongy(海绵) bone tissue (which is found inside of most bones) is broken down and not enough new bone material is made. _________ (4).Bones become smaller and weaker and can easily break if someone with osteoporosis is injured. Older people –especially women, who generally have smaller and lighter bones to begin with-are more likely to develop osteoporosis. As years go by, a person with osteoporosis shrinks a little bit.
Did you know that every day you do a shrinking act？ You aren't as tall at the end of the day as you are at the beginning. _________ (5).Don't worry, though. Once you get a good night's rest, your body recovers, and the next morning, you're standing tall again.

听力原文： Religions and private schools receive little or no support from public taxes in the United States. As a result, they are more expensive to attend.

Some parents send their children to private schools because the classes there are usually smaller.
