听力原文： Not many couples stay married for 50 years. Even fewer do so for 75 years. It's almost impossible for a couple to be married for 85 years. But that's exactly what Henry and Maggie Thurston did.

Henry was born on a farm in Iowa in 1857. At the age of 18 he went to Chicago to attend the university. There he met Maggie who had come from Cleveland to study art. She was one year younger.

This was a true case of love at first sight. They got married in 1876, less than six months after they met. In 1877 their first son, Jack, was born. By 1885 they had five children, including their third son, Lou, who became a well-known writer. From 1900 to 1915 Henry and Maggie became grandparents thirty one times.

On February 14th, 1961, they celebrated their 85th wedding anniversary. The day they had chosen for their wedding day had become Valentine's Day. Over one hundred newsmen came to report on the event. The couple was seen on national TV. Most amazing of all, though, was the fact that over 1,500 relatives were also present. The youngest was a three-week-old baby girl. Henry and Maggie were old. He was 104 and she was 103.

They can meet their future mates in many different ways. Sometimes they are introduced by a mutual friend; mid sometimes they meet each other in school, at a party, or at work. Today, they are sometimes matched by a computer which acts as a mechanical matchmaker, The average age of marriage for women in the United States is 20 - 21 and for men 22 - 23. When they are ready to get married, the bride's family is supposed to pay for all the cost of wedding, the reception, and the bride's trousseau. All the groom is supposed to pay for is the marriage license, the wedding ring, and the bride's bouquet.

A couple must get a civil license to marry, and then they can be married either in a civil or a religious ceremony. After the marriage ceremony, there is often a reception and then the couple leaves on their honeymoon. When they return, the newly married husband and wife move into their own home.

听力原文：Customer: There's something wrong with my watch. It's running slow.

Woman: Oh, a Texor. It's a common problem with the older Texor watches. The latest ones are much better!

Customer: That's no help to me.

Woman: No, I suppose not. Anyway, it's not easy to get them fixed, either. Not many people are up to it.

Customer: Right. So ...？

Woman: And the problem is that by the time you've got it to pieces and put in the new parts and reassembled it, you might as well have replaced it. It's always the same, and it's just as likely to go wrong again in a couple of months.

You overhear a conversation between a watchmaker and a customer. What does the watchmaker say about the watch？

A．It is impossible to repair it.

B．It is not worth repairing.

C．He does not have the parts to repair it.

W: It's right there in the cupboard with your other ties.

M: There's a green one and a couple of brown ones, but no red one.

W: Here it is in your drawer. You must have put it there when you brought it home.

听力原文：W: You read this？ A couple that couldn't have a baby cloned the husband, and the

wife is now in the family way!

M: Oh, you mean the wife is going to give birth to her husband？

W: Right. The child will be born in two months and the couple won't feel sad about having no children! How great!

M: But isn't that strange？ How could the father face another self! You see, they'll look exactly the same! And if they had decided to clone the wife, she'd be giving birth to herself!

W: Well, isn't it charming to live your own life again？ I think human cloning is beneficial in many ways, such as providing remedies for new incurable diseases, prolonging one's life, and so on.

M: That's very good, but what'll be the relationship between the parents and their cloned copy？ What responsibilities should people take for their own clone？ And what if the child falls in love with his own mother one day？ As I see it, human cloning is unethical and must be prohibited!

W: Well, maybe human cloning still has a long way to go, or, maybe, the couple would be better of adopting a child.

Who has the couple cloned？

A．The wife.

B．The husband.

C．The baby.

D．A sheep.

听力原文： A good marriage means growing as a couple but also growing as individuals. This isn't easy; marriage has always been difficult. Why then are we seeing so many divorces at this time？ Yes, our modern social fabric is thin, and yes, the permissiveness of society has created unrealistic expectations and threw the family into disorder. But divorce is so common because people today are unwilling to exercise the self-discipline that marriage requires. They expect easy joy, like the entertainment on TV, the thrill of a good party.

Marriage takes some kind of sacrifice, not dreadful self-sacrifice of the soul, but some level of compromise. Some of one's fantasies, some of one's legitimate desires, have to be given up for the value of the marriage itself. "While all marital partners feel shacked at times, it is they who really choose to make the martial ties into confining chains or supporting bonds, says Dr. Walter. Marriage requires sexual, financial and emotional discipline. A man and a woman cannot follow every impulse, cannot allow them to stop growing or changing.

(30)

A．Because it is difficult to maintain a marriage.

B．Because people like watching TV programs.

C．Because people prefer freedom to self-discipline.

D．Because our society is permissive towards divorces.

听力原文：Many of you may have heard of jet lag, which is a condition of space disorders, r

听力原文： Many of you may have heard of jet lag, which is a condition of space disorders, resulting from rapid travel over time zones. Such as on a jet plane. The symptom of jet lag can be quite varied, and may include loss of appetite, nausea, headache, fatigue, insomnia, or even mild depression. Here are a few tips for you to avoid jet lag, or cope if you are stricken by the condition.

First, adjust your biological rhythm several days before your departure, and develop a plan to start switching to the time zone of your destination. For instance, if you will be flying from New York to Paris, where it is 6 hours later, get up one hour earlier for a couple of days, then 2 hours earlier, then 3 hours earlier, I will try to at least get half way to your new time zone. Turn lights on during day time in your destination, and off during the night time. Second, during the time of your adjustment, especially during the flight, drink plenty of water. If you are not a big water fan, drink some other fluid that is not high in sugar, carbonation and caffeine~ avoid junk food, salty food and caffeine, and alcohol on the plane. Of course I say that, but I always have a couple of drinks during the flight. If you do that, just be sure to drink as much water between drinks as possible. Thirdly, when you arrive in your destination, try to resist the urge to nap during the day time. Get outside, during the daylight hours, even it is just to sit in a caf6 and relax. Try to get a good night sleep for the 1st couple of nights. The key is to reset your body's natural clock and to get enough rest. Finally, when you return home, use some of the same tactics above to return to your previous time zone.

(35)

A．A flight over time zones.

B．A loss of one's characters.

C．A symptom of leg problems.

D．A condition of sleep disorders.
