听力原文: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" is a popular saying in the United States. Other countries have similar sayings. It is true that all of us need recreation. We cannot work all the time if we want to maintain good health and enjoy life.
Everyone has his own way of relaxing. Perhaps the most popular way is to participate in sports. There are team sports such as baseball, basketball and football. There are individual sports such as golf and swimming. In addition, hiking, fishing, skiing and mountain climbing have a great attraction to people who like to be outdoors.
Not everyone who enjoys sporting events likes to participate in them. Many people prefer to be spectators, either by attending the game in person, watching them on television, or listening to them on the radio. When there is an important baseball game or boxing match it is almost impossible to get tickets; everybody wants to attend. Chess, card-playing and dancing are forms of indoors recreation enjoyed by many people.
It doesn't mater whether we play a fast game of table-tennis, or go walking through the woods on a brisk autumn day. It is important for everyone to relax from time to time and enjoy some form. of recreation.

A.It is a story about a dull boy.

The Recreative Function of Greenspace Facilities
Greenspace facilities (设施) are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is_______(1) longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is_______(2) accepted, although more as a self-evident statement_______(3) on the basis of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of green spaces in the urban environment is the _______(4) Step on the right way; this does not_______(5), however, that sufficient details are known about the functions of green space in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants (居民) are using these Spaces. As to this rather complex subject I shall, within the_______(6) of this lecture, enter into one aspect only, namely the receptive (供消遣的) function of green space facilities.
The theoretical separation of_______(7), working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town-and-country planning, has in my_______(8) resulted in disproportionate (不成比例的) attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas there was relatively _______(9) attention for improvement of receptive possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home. We have_______(10) to the conclusion that this is not right; because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for_______(11) at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open_______(12) has to begin at the street-door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as________(13), and the design of these has to be such that more bligatory (必须做的) activities can also have a receptive aspect.
The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to _______(14) a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere _______(15) a spot for enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short if you only feel yourself at home after the street-door of your house is closed after you.

Spouses can affect each other's health by developing psychological stress. A substantial literature develops strong evidence that psychological stress causes illness, increase risk of death rate, and serves as an important mechanism that links socioeconomic characteristics to health and death rate. Stress-reducing mechanisms include removal of sources of stress, and management of stress by talking about it to a trusted person, psychological treatment, physical exercise, recreation and other means. You can go to see professionals, but they cannot give a satisfactory solution. A spouse can provide or encourage all of these stress-reducing behaviors.
Spouses also can promote each other's health by providing each other with supporting social contact, and they can facilitate or inhibit each other's social contact with others. Evidence suggests that health is greatly advanced by supporting social contacts, including positive interaction with relatives, friends, colleagues and acquaintances. Recent experimental data shows that persons with more diverse social networks are more resistant to psychological diseases than persons with less diverse social networks.
Spouses can also promote each other's health by providing each other with money, and they can help each other manage money effectively. Money does not buy health directly, but it can be used to purchase goods and services that make good health more likely. These goods and services include nutritious food, a tidy and safe environment, medical care, and pleasant things that reduce psychological stress. Unless estranged or unusually wealthy, husbands and wives almost always share their financial resources and purchase and consume many of these health-promoting goods and services together. In short, there are many ways in which spouses can influence each other's probability of good health.
From paragraph one, we know that ______.
A.husband's or wife's influence is of vital importance to each other's health
B.husband's or wife's influence has nothing to do with health
C.healthy couple will remain healthy after their marriage
D.a variety of factors coming from the society influence couple's health
