听力原文: Why do people want to save the Whales? There are two important reasons. One reason is that whales help to keep a balance between plants and animals. People have disturbed this balance. People get rid of their wastes by throwing them into the oceans and seas. People's sewage and garbage increase the salt in ocean and sea water. The increased salt helps some plants and some very small animals to grow. These plants and animals can be harmful to fish. Whales eat enormous amount of plants and animals that grow in very salty water. Therefore, whales are very important because they keep the ocean environment clean enough for fish. In addition, because fish provide necessary food for many people, people need whales, and many people want to save them.

听力原文: Despite the fact that healthy eating has more publicity than ever before, the sales of chocolate continue to rise.
But why do we like it so much? It's not enough to answer: "Because it tastes nice." So do other foods. But do you know any other food which some people have to keep closed until their guests arrive? They know that if they open the chocolate on their own, they'll probably go on eating until they feel slightly ill. And it isn't just the sugar that people like. In the 17th century, when chocolate first arrived here as a drink, people did not put sugar in it because sugar was too expensive.
"Comfort" is a good word to explain why chocolate is more than just another food. It makes people feel safe.
"After a busy day, I like to sit and listen to the radio with a cup of tea and a bar of chocolate."
One answer is that, like coffee, cola and tea, chocolate contains the stimulants. This could explain why it is so difficult to stop eating chocolate once you've started. Some people even fear that they won't be able to atop, and this makes them literally afraid of chocolate.
(33)
A.Because it is better than other foods.
B.Because it tastes good.
C.Because it provides comfort and pleasure.
D.Because it serves as a special food for guests.

听力原文:M: Cindy, what is happiness in your mind?
W: Why ask? It's a difficult question. Different people may have different understandings of happiness.
M: You said it. But that is the assignment from my psychology professor.
W: Well, in my mind, happiness is supposed to be just a state of mind, not so closely related to material life.
M: OK. A state of mind. Anything else?
W: People ought to value what they already have got. They shouldn't always feel sorry for what they can't have.
M: Yes, I agree. But many people often get used to what they have and don't cherish them any more.
W: You are right. Maybe people can't be very happy by only staying at one place or staying still at one condition. I mean, if people get what they dream about, or they do better than they expected, they feel happy. And...
M: Hold it a second. I need to write what you have said down. Get what they dream about..., better than expected. All right. That's very helpful. Now, let's talk about what kind of specific things or condition that can make people feel happy. Take you for example.
W: Well, I said that I didn't mind material things a lot. But if I get some gifts very carefully chosen or made by my beloved relatives or friends, even though they may not be expensive, I would still be very happy.
M: So do I. Do you feel this kind of happiness lasts long?
W: Of course, whenever I take out the things and look at them, I know there are people who care about me and love me. My heart will be full of happiness.
