A．He was tired.
B．He had bought everything.
C．Too many people were shopping.
D．The weather was terrible.
W: Because they have to, legally I mean.
M: Exactly! In this case the reason is obvious, so usually we don't question it. But when the reason is not so obvious and especially when the behavior. could have negative consequences, we'll more likely to feel a need to explain the causes of the behavior. Social psychologists have a term for this, for the process of explaining the causes of the behavior, it's called "causal attribution". And one theory suggests, there's a pattern in the way we go about attributing causes to people's behavior. According to this theory, there are two categories of reasons: internal factors and external factors. Again, Lisa, say you're driving down the road and all of a sudden some guy turns into the lane right in front of you, and you have to slam on your brakes to avoid an accident. How do you react？
W: I'll probably get very angry.
M: Because...
W: Well, he's not paying attention, he's a bad driver.
M: So you automatically attribute, the driver's behavior. to an internal factor. He himself is to blame because he is careless.
W: So if I said it was because of heavy traffic or something, I'd be attributing his behavior. to an external factor, something beyond his control.
M: Good. Now how do we usually explain our own negative behavior？
W: We blame external factors.
M: That's right.
(23)
A．Common causes of anger.
B．Judging people's behavior.
C．Changing people's attitudes.
D．The effects of negative behavior.

W: Rich，sir! He has，nobody knows what money，and every year it increases．Yes，yes，he’s rich enough to
live in a finer house than this: but he's very near -- close-handed; and, if he had meant to flit to Thrushcross Grange, as soon as he heard of a good tenant he could not have borne to miss the chance of getting a few hundreds more.

why didn't people wash in those days long ago？
Well, they did not have water in their house. They carried water from rivers or from holes in the ground (= wells). Towns people bought it from a water--carrier. Sometimes it was expensive; and soap was always expensive. They drank water, of course; and so they were clean inside. They did not think about the outside! And this is true; they just did not like a bath.
Modern life is different. We use a lot of soap and water. And we are all quite clean. However, a few people use too much soap; and they often get ill. Who are these people？
Many young women work as hairdressers. They wash and then "dress" other women's hair. That is their job, and they like it. Young hairdressers sometimes wash dirty heads on a busy day! Their hands are soapy for seven or eight hours; and that is not a good thing. A young hairdresser's hands are often red and ugly; and she must then go to doctor.
Long ago, people ______.
A．often died young
B．did not often have a bath
C．washed every day
D．washed every day and died young

Why do People Shrink？
Did you ever see the movie Honey, I shrunk the kids？ It's about a wacky(乖僻的) dad (who's also a scientist) who accidentally(偶然的) shrinks his kids with his homemade miniaturizing(使小型化) invention. Oops! The kids spend the rest of the movie as tiny people who are barely visible while trying to get back to their normal size.
_________ (1)It takes place over years and may add up to only one inch or so off of their adult height (maybe a little more, maybe less), and this kind of shrinking can't be magically reversed, although there are things that can be done to stop it or slow it down. But why does shrinking happen at all？
_________(2).As people get older, they generally lose some muscle and fat from their bodies as part of the natural aging process. Gravity (the force that keeps your feet on the ground) take hold, and the bones in the spine, called vertebrae(椎骨), may break down or degenerate, and start to collapse into one another. _________ (3).But perhaps the most common reason why some older people shrink is because of osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis(骨质疏松症) occurs when too much spongy(海绵) bone tissue (which is found inside of most bones) is broken down and not enough new bone material is made. _________ (4).Bones become smaller and weaker and can easily break if someone with osteoporosis is injured. Older people –especially women, who generally have smaller and lighter bones to begin with-are more likely to develop osteoporosis. As years go by, a person with osteoporosis shrinks a little bit.
Did you know that every day you do a shrinking act？ You aren't as tall at the end of the day as you are at the beginning. _________ (5).Don't worry, though. Once you get a good night's rest, your body recovers, and the next morning, you're standing tall again.

(47) As people get older, they generally lose some muscle and fat from their bodies as part of the natural aging process. Gravity (the force that keeps your feet on the ground) take hold, and the bones in the spine, called vertebrae(椎骨), may break down or degenerate, and start to collapse into one another. (48) . But perhaps the most common reason why some older people shrink is because of osteoporosis (骨质疏松症).
Osteoporosis occurs when too much spongy(海绵) bone tissue (which is found inside of most bones) is broken down and not enough new bone material is made. (49) . Bones become smaller and weaker and can easily break if someone with osteoporosis is injured. Older people—especially women, who generally have smaller and lighter bones to begin with—are more likely to develop osteoporosis. As years go by, a person with osteoporosis shrinks a little bit.
Did you know that every day you do a shrinking act？ You aren't as tall at the end of the day as you are at the beginning. (50) . Don't worry, though. Once you get a good night's rest, your body recovers, and the next morning, you're standing tall again.
A. They end up pressing closer together, which makes a person lose a little height and become shorter.
B. That's because as the day goes on, water in the disks of the spine gets compressed (squeezed) due to gravity, making you just a tiny bit shorter.
C. Over time, bone is said to be lost because it's not being replaced.
D. Luckily, there are things that people can do to prevent shrinking.
E. For older people, shrinking isn't that dramatic or sudden at all.
F. There are a few reasons.

听力原文：M: Hi, Sue.
W: Hello, Jill, how are you？
M: I'm fine. Did you watch the TV special about barnacles last night？
W: No, I missed it. What did you learn about them？
M: They glue themselves to rocks in the ocean, shortly after birth. They also stay in the same place forever.
W: Right, have you ever tried removing one of these things？ It would be easier to chip the rock away than to get the barnacles off.
M: Exactly, and that's why scientists are trying to figure out what the barnacles glue is made of. It's considered one of the strongest adhesives in nature.
W: And it would have the advantage of being able to work on wet surfaces too.
M: Precisely, and because it's natural protein, it probably wouldn't be harmful to people like so many synthetic glues in use today.
W: Think of all the ways in which doctors and dentists could use such a glue to mend broken bones and fasten false teeth.
M: There could be countless uses. Scientists hope to learn soon exactly how the glue is made, so that people can make use of it.
W: That's good news for the general public. I hope it won't take long for the new glue to be put into use.
(23)
A．The reproductive cycle of barnacles.
B．A new source of protein.
C．Types of sea animals.
D．The adhesive quality of barnacles.
M: How about sending newspapers？
W: I already thought of that, but I don't have a bike.
M: How about walking dogs？
W: Walking dogs？
M: Yes, you know, there're a lot of people around here with dogs.
W: Then how much can I earn if I walk dogs？
M: More than sending newspapers. The dogs need to be walked every day, especially when people are at work.
W: That's a good idea since I like dogs very much. But how can I find dogs to walk？
M: You can put an advertisement in the Sunday newspaper.
W: Then how much shall I charge for walking a dog？
M: You can try for four dollars an hour.
W: That's great. Thank you so much.

听力原文：W: Hey Steve, got any plans for tonight？
M: Hi, Jane. No, I don't think so. Why？ Got any suggestions？
W: In fact, I do. I just got two tickets to the opening of the exhibit of the reprints by Julia Margaret Cameron. I would have to mention it earlier, but I was on the waiting list for these tickets and I wasn't sure I'd even get them.
M: An exhibit, huh？ I like such things. But I don't know who Julia……
W: Margaret Cameron! She was a photographer in the 1800s. She is interesting to art-historians in general and students of photography in particular because she ... how should I say, change the aesthetics for photography.
M: What do you mean？
W: Well, her specialty was portraits and instead of just making a factual record of details like most photographers did, you know, just capturing what a person look like in a dispassionate（平心静气的）thought of way. She, like a portrait painter, was interested in capturing her subject's personality.
M: Interesting! How did she do that？
W: She invented a number of techniques that affect the picture. Like one of these things she did was blur images slightly by using a soft focus on the subject. That's pretty common now.
M: Yeah, seen that. Who did she photograph？
W: Famous people of her day, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Charles Darwin, I don't know who else. We'll see at the exhibition.
M: You really pick my curiosity. I am going to enjoy this.

A．A famous photographer.
B．Photographic processes in the 1800's.
C．Photographic equipment used in the 1800's.
