听力原文： Eleanor Roosevelt was the First lady of the United States for some twelve years, but she was much more than that. Long before she became the First Lady, she was working for a better society. Her many activities included work to improve lots of disadvantaged women and to help all women develop their potential. In 1902, at about the time she became involved with Franklin Roosevelt, she began to work as a volunteer at the Rivington Street Settlement House in one of New York's slum districts. There she taught young women who could not regularly attend school due to their long working hours. This experience, Eleanor's first extended contact with poverty and its demands, helped shape her social conscience; it also exposed Franklin to real poverty for the first time.
(35)
A．The President Franklin Roosevelt's wife.
B．A woman working for the President.
C．A famous writer of America.
D．A kind woman liking to help the poor.

听力原文： Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things that were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in the room.
Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country？ Or doesn't it matter？ What about table manners？ Should you use both hands when you are eating？ Should you leave one hand on your lap, or on the table？
The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seats to a woman, and so will most Americans.
The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable--especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a formal dinner party. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.
(26)
A．To smoke in a public place.
B．To make a fool of oneself.
C．To smoke when a girl is in the room.
D．To spit in the street.

听力原文： In many societies women ere not treated as the equals of men. In some societies women must always obey the men in their lives. Other societies deny women basic equality in education, in employment, and politics. For example, in Liechtenstein, a small country in Western Europe, woman still do not have the right to vote. In the U.S. discrimination against women perhaps is not as clear as it is in some other parts of the world, but it exists. In 1971, for example, 90% of elementary school teachers were women. However, 80% of elementary school principals were men. In the same year only 7% of American doctors were women,
In the late 1960s, women's organizations began to demand an end to sex discrimination. They were quite successful. Today there are a number of laws that protect the fights of women. The women's organizations are also trying to change people's ideas about woman and about their place in society. This is a very difficult goal. New laws can perhaps change people's behavior, but they cannot always change people's ideas. As a result, the changes in ideas are slower; however, there is evidence that they are taking place.
(30)
A．Women enjoy equal fights in America.
B．Discrimination against women still exists in America.
C．Women should be allowed to vote for their leaders.
D．Women are inferior to men in managing school affairs.

At fourteen, Dorothea was teaching school at Worcester, Massachusetts. A short time after she had begun teaching, she established a school for young girls in her grandparents' home. Stress was placed on moral character at Dorothea's school, which she conducted until she was thirty-three.
She was forced to give up teaching at her grandparents' home, however, when she became ill. A few years of inactivity followed.
In 1841 Dorothea began to teach again, accepting a Sunday school class in the East Cambridge, Massachusetts, jail. Here, she first came upon insane people locked up together with criminals.
In those days insane people were treated even worse than criminals. There were only a few asylums(精神病院)in the entire country. Therefore jails, poorhouses, and houses of correction were used to confine the insane.
Dorothea Dix made a careful investigation of the inhuman treatment of the insane. It was considered, unfeminine (不适合女性的)for a woman to devote herself to such work at this time. But this did not stop Dorothea Dix in her efforts to provide proper medical care for the insane.
Gradually, because of her investigations, conditions were improved. More than thirty mental institutions were founded or re-established in the United Stated because of her efforts. Dorothea also extended her investigations to England and to other parts of Europe.
During the Civil War, Dorothea served as superintendent(管理人)of women hospital nurses in the Union army. When the war was over, she returned to her work of improving conditions for insane people.

A．The Treatment of Mental Illness

This chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasure, a 120-page diary kept 190 years ago by Deborah Logan, "a woman who knew everybody in her day," James Green, the librarian told the magazine American Libraries.
Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia. It also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington,@D@@C@in the war of 1812. She describes President James Madison on horseback as "perfectly shaking with fear" during the troubled days. George Washington, she writes, mistook her for the wife of a Freneh man, and praised her excellent English.
The adventure of the lost book began September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from England to deliver the diary of his ancestor (祖先) to the Library Company, which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary.
Green told American Libraries he had the diary in his possession "about five minutes" when Luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person. On returning to his hotel after showing the precious book to Green, Luxmoore was shocked to realize that he had left it in the taxi.
Without any delay, Green began calling every taxi company in the city, with no luck. "I've felt sick since then," Luxmoore told reporters.
According to Green, no one has yet learned how the diary came to the office building. Tom Brennan received a reward (奖励) of ＄1,000, Philadelphia gained another treasure for its history, and Luxmoore told reporters, "It's wonderful news. I'm on high."
This article mainly tells about the story of______.
A．a lost diary
