Cars–curse or craze？
Johnny Watson, 30
It is easy to criticize cars – they cause pollution and accidents, and so on. But what are alternatives？ Nobody wants to travel in a slow, smelly old bus when you can relax in the comfort of your own car. In most countries, the public transport system is inadequate, expensive and inefficient – and anyway, cities today are designed to meet drivers’ needs, with fast roads and car parks everywhere. The car industry also provides thousands of jobs. Roads are getting safer and more efficient every year, and cars are causing less pollution because of lead-free petrol and other technological improvement. What’s the problem？
Amanda Rees, 33
I am much happier now that I don’t have my car. I used to spend an hour stuck in a traffic jam each morning and that made me angry and irritable for the rest of the day. I was so stressed! The worst thing about cars, though, is the number of accidents. Did you know that somebody dies in a road accident in Britain every two and a half hours？ Another thing I hate is the way that road building is destroying the countryside. Finally, I would love to live without that constant traffic noise coming through the window. In fact, I think it’s the noise that bothers me most.

听力原文：W: How do you go to work every day, by bike or by bus？
M: By bike, of course.
W: Why don't you take the bus？ Obviously it can save much time and energy.
M: I find it hard to agree with you. Sometimes if the bus is stuck in a traffic jam, it will waste much time instead of saving it.
W: Maybe you are right, but what if it was raining or storming？ Will you still ride on your bicycle to your office？
M: Well, it all depends. If time permits, I will keep my habit and go to work by bike. But if time is pressing, I may choose the bus-ride, which is the last thing I'd like to do.
W: I can't make out why you hate the bus-fide so much.
M: Well, indeed, what bothers me the most is not the occasional traffic jam as I mentioned before, but the rode people with their rough behavior. on the bus.
W: I don't get it.
M: Every time I have to go to work by bus, it turns out to be a terrible experience. If worse comes to worst, you may find yourself on an overcrowded bus with no order, and in a near-riot. I'm not exaggerating.
W: I see what you mean. I'm sorry for you.
M: During rush hours you have to fight your way in, and fight your way out when you get off.
W: How terrible!
M: By the way, how do you go to work？ I'm curious.
W: Well, I have a car of my own, so I neither take the bus nor ride the bike.
M: No wonder!

听力原文：W: How are your neighbors, Tom？
M: They seem nice enough, but they have a son who's driving me crazy.
W: What do you mean？
M: He comes home every night around 10 with his car windows rolled down and radio blaring. It stops as soon as he turns the car off. But by then Brian and Lisa are wide awake.
W: Oh, no.
M: Oh, yes. Sometimes it takes us all night just to get them settled down again.
W: Have you tried talking to them？
M: We haven't even really met them yet except to say a quick hello. I hate to get off on the wrong foot.
W: You are not going to like them when you do meet them if you keep on simmering.
M: I know, but I feel stupid complaining. And I don't want to make a bad impression.
W: You said yourself it was driving you crazy.
M: Well, you know how early I have to get up to be here at the office. I'm just not getting enough sleep and neither are the kids. They're so irritable when I get home in the afternoon.
W: Maybe you could go over sometime with a little gift: a plant for the yard or something. Then you could ask about their son, whether they have any other children and they will be sure to ask about yours.
M: Yeah, and then what？

Man: Well, not really, no! In fact the book isn't really recent at all - it came out at the beginning of last year, I'm actually here this week to give a series of talks outlining some ideas I've had since then.
Woman: So are these ideas the basis for your next book？
Man: Well, it's really too early to talk about that!
Woman: I see, Now tell me, how did you become involved in this particular area of communication skills？
Man: Well, many years ago, as a young sales executive, I had to give presentations, but I felt I wasn't doing them very well. My boss never actually criticised me, and my colleagues weren't doing any better than me, but the point was that I didn't feel satisfied with my performance. You see, if I'm doing something, I have to do it well.
Woman: So you decided to do something about improving your performance.
Man: That's right. I tried to find some books to help me but there weren't really any available in those days... so I eventually decided on a totally practical approach: I tried to find out what my problem was by studying the way the best speakers gave presentations, by talking to them, even watching them prepare. Then I compared their performance with mine.
Woman: And what was your main problem？ Nervousness？ I know that's mine.
Man: Well I had always thought it was nervousness, and it's true that at the time I had no techniques for dealing with that. But I think audiences accept the fact that speakers get nervous, and it really doesn't matter. No, I discovered that my No. I problem was preparation. Nobody had ever told me anything about how to prepare, and I didn't really know how to do it properly.
Woman: And when you realised that, what did you change？
Man: Well, before, I used to go through the whole presentation in an empty room on my own. The first change in my approach came when I realised it's much more realistic and much more useful to do it in front of two or three colleagues. That way you get some feedback. Otherwise you have no idea whether or not your presentation is effective, or which parts might need further attention.
Woman: Is that the method you recommend now？
Man: Well, not quite. What I would advise is to make a video of your practice presentation...
Woman: Instead of using colleagues？
Man: No, a recording of your presentation to them. Then it's easier for all of you to go back and see what's wrong and how it can be improved, It's actually much better than recording other people doing real presentations, however good they are.
Woman: So that's the preparation, but are there any factors which make the presentation itself difficult, even if you are prepared？
Man: Well obviously, yes. Some speakers imagine, quite wrongly, that every audience is unfriendly, at least at the beginning. And this affects their performance. And then there may be a few people who worry about their lack of experience of public speaking. But really what bothers most speakers is things like the OHP and the microphone - are they going to work, and so on,
Woman: Are there any techniques that are effective for overcoming feelings of anxiety？
Man: Well, first I have to say that some people never manage to reduce their anxiety levels. What they can do is learn to relax their face muscles while they speak, so that they look relaxed, even though they feel just as anxious as before. In order to really reduce anxiety, some experts recommend concentrating on something that you enjoyed recently - but I find this is hopeless... I just forget what I was about to say! For me though, what has worked is some simple breathing exercises, breathing in deeply and slowly while making a pause. This definitely slows down the heart rate. That's what I would try first of all.
Woman: Something we can all
A．has come out recently.
B．was published last year.
C．will reach bookshops next year.
第10题
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.
The wallet is heading for extinction. As a day-to-day essential, it will die off with the generation who read print newspapers. The kind of shopping－where you hand over notes and count out change in return— now happens only in the most minor of our retail encounters，like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk from a comer shop. At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is increasingly abstracted. And this is more and more true, the higher up the scale you go. At the most cutting-edge retail stores—Victoria Beckham on Dover Street, for instance—you don’t go and stand at any kind of cash register when you decide to pay. The staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa.
Which is nothing more or less than excellent service, if you have the money. But across society, the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned. But earning money isn’t quick or easy for most of us. Isn’t it a bit weird that spending it should happen in half a blink (眨眼) of an eye？ Doesn’t a wallet—that time-honoured Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness—represent something that matters？
But I’ll leave the economics to the experts. What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment. Everything about the look and feel of a wallet—the way the fastenings and materials wear and tear and loosen with age, the plastic and paper and gold and silver, and handwritten phone numbers and printed cinema tickets—is the very opposite of what our world is becoming. The opposite of a wallet is a smartphone of an iPad. The rounded edges, cool glass, smooth and unknowable as pebble (鹅卵石). Instead of digging through pieces of paper and peering into corners, we move our fingers left and right. No more counting out coins. Show your wallet, if you still have one. It may not be here much longer.
56. What is happening to the wallet？
A) It is disappearing. C) it is becoming costly.
B) It is being fattened. D) It is changing in style.
57. How are business transactions done in big modern stores？
A) Individually. C) In the abstract.
B) Electronically. D) Via a cash register.
58. What makes the author feel uncomfortable nowadays？
A) Saving money is becoming a thing of the past.
B) The pleasing Friday-night feeling is fading.
C) Earning money is getting more difficult.
D) Spending money is so fast and easy.
59. Why does the author choose to write about what’s happening to the wallet？
A) It represents a change in the modern world.
B) It has something to do with everybody’s life.
C) It marks the end of a time-honoured tradition.
D) It is the concern of contemporary economists.
60.What can we infer from the passage about the author？
A)He is resistant to social changes.
B)He is against technological progress.
C)He feels reluctant to part with the traditional wallet.
D)He fells insecure in the ever-changing modern world.

根据以下材料，回答题
Privacy in the 21st Century
Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the Websites you"ve visited， or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.
In fact， it"s likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission.0 It might be a spouse， a girlfriend， a marketing company， a boss， a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is， they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen——the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked.
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy， that it"s important to reveal yourself to friends，family and lovers in stages， at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs （碎屑） you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are， where you are and what you like. In some cases， a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not， increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.
The key question is: Does that matter？ For many Americans， the answer apparently is "no".
When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy， most say they are concerned about losing it.
A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy， with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is "slipping away， and that bothers me".
But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths （收费站 ） to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon （优惠劵） .
But privacy does matter——at least sometimes. It"s like health: When you have it you don"t notice it. Only when it"s gone do you wish you"d done more to protect it.
Why does the author list several cases that your information can be accessed without your permission？ 查看材料
A.To introduce the topic.
B.To remind the importance of privacy.
C.To inform. what 21 st century is like.
D.To call for the action against the spread of website.
