听力原文: It is a great privilege for me to be invited to speak at the tenth year reunion of State University' s graduating class. When you arrived on campus today, after a decade, you were probably impressed by two changes at State:
one, the absence of University Tower, the first building constructed on the campus, and a historic landmark for many years; and two, the disappearance of parking lots on main campus.
Two years ago, University Tower was inspected and found to be unsafe. In spite of efforts to restore it, it was necessary to level the building. A bell tower was constructed on the same site, built for the most part using the good brick that was saved from the original building. The original bells were also preserved. As for the parking lots, they have been replaced by grass, trees, and pedestrian walkways. Parking is now located in parking garages on the North and West sides of the campus.
Two more subtle changes have occurred within the past decade. One is the creation and expansion of the Division of Continuing Education for the Community, including a Saturday and summer enrichment program for children, and an afternoon and evening special interest program for adult. The other is the addition of the student population of many young people from abroad, especially students from Japan, Latin America, and the Middle East, Most international students are enrolled in the College of Engineering and the college of Business.
And so, State is a different place, but like University Tower, it is built of the same brick. We are still committed to the same age old ideals "quality education for our citizens", but we have extended our commitment beyond the borders of our state and nation to encompass the citizens and nations of the world.
What is the occasion for the man's speech?
A.Graduation.
B.A class reunion.
C.The dedication of a new building.
D.The groundbreaking ceremony for a pedestrian walkway on campus.

Take Ladan and Laleh Bijani from Iran. They were identical twins who had spent their entire 29 years joined at the head. And yet, Ladan, the more outspoken of the pair, told journalists, "We are two completely separate individuals, we have different world views, We have different lifestyles, we think very differently about issues." Why did Ladan and Laleh have different personalities?
Self-organized systems in insects can provide us with some ideas. A colony of ants, for example, can be seen as a self-organized system. No supervisor tells the ants what to do, and yet all the jobs get done. The system works in such a way that if one ant carries out a particular job, it be comes less likely that another ant will attempt that job because it no longer needs doing. The result is what economists call "division of labor. "
Self-organization also produces division of labor in human groups. Each individual looks for something to specialize in, his or her own suitable position in the group. If one position is occupied, the individual will seek another. This process increases the differences even between identical twins, because once they've chosen different specialities, a circular mechanism causes small initial differences between them to widen.
Although identical twins look very much alike, people who know them well will distinguish between them. They might, for example, address more questions and comments to one twin than the other—perhaps by chance first. But the consequence is that the twin who is addressed more of ten will do more talking than the other twin, which will cause people who know them to address still more of their questions and comments to that twin. The result, over time, will be one outspoken twin and one quieter one—like Ladan and Laleh Bijani.
According to the writer we learn that identical twins______.
A.differ in personality
B.differ in appearance
C.have the same lifestyle
D.have the same outlook

Identical twins are a perfect test case for theories of personality development. If a theory can' t explain the differences between identical twins, then it cannot explain environmental effects on per-sonality. Even identical twins brought up in the same home have different personalities.Take Ladan and Laleh Bijani from Iran. They were identical twins who had spent their entire 29 years joined at the head. And yet, Ladan, the more outspoken of the pair, told journalists,"We are two completely separate individuals. we have different world views,We have different lifestyles, we think very differently about issues.

He's soon going to have an evaluation interview with his supervisor and the personnel director to discuss the work he has done in the past year. Salary, promotion and plans for the coming year will also be discussed at the meeting. Chris has made several changes for his division in the past year. First, he bought new equipment for one of the departments. He has been particularly happy about the new equipment because many of the employees have told him how much it has helped them. Along with improving the equipment, Chris began a program to train employees to use equipment better and do simple maintenance themselves. The training saved time for the employees and money for the company. Unfortunately, one serious problem developed during the year. Two employees that Chris hired were stealing, and he had to fire them. Chris knows that a new job for a purchasing and maintenance manager for the whole company will be open in a few months, and he would like to be promoted to the job. Chris knows, however, that someone else wants the new job, too. Kim is in charge of purchasing and maintenance in another division of the company. She has also made several changes over the year. Chris knows that his boss likes Kim's work, and he expects that his work will be compared with hers.
