听力原文： The basic flag of the United States is one of the world's oldest national flags. Only the basic flags of Austria, Denmark, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland are older.
The first official flag of the United States was created by Congress on June 14,1777. It consisted of 13 alternate red and white stripes and 13 white stars in a field of blue, representing the 13 colonies that had declared their independence in 1776. Congress adopted a new flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes in 1795, to give representation to the two new states admitted into the Union, Vermont and Kentucky.
By 1817, there were 20 states in the Union, and it became apparent that adding one stripe for each new state would destroy the shape of the flag. As a result, in 1818, congress restored the design of 13 stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by one star. In 1912 President William H. Taft made the first official provision for the arrangement of the stars. He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each. Previously, the arrangement of the stars had been left to the flag-maker's fancy.
The evolution of the Stars and Stripes reflects the growth of the United States. After the admission of Hawaii into the Union in 1959, the flag was officially changed for the 26th time since its creation.

听力原文：F Good evening, and welcome to our sixth annual design awards ceremony As chair of the panel of judges, I saw the work of a great many design consultancies, and was very impressed by its range and quality. We had great difficulty selecting the winners, but with that now done, let me introduce William Taylor, who's going to announce the prizewinners.
William Taylor started his career as Chief Executive of the design consultancy he founded ten years ago, but since selling that he's been working freelance. He modestly describes himself as a publicist, though in fact his scope is far greater than that suggests. His work is eye-catching, witty and extremely effective. He was last year's prizewinner in our exhibitions category, for the digital media gallery that he had designed. His major project at the moment is to design an exhibition of photography, and we look forward to seeing the results. Ladies and gentlemen - William Taylor
M Thank you. Our first award this evening is in the Internal Communications category, and this goes to the Steppart Consultancy for their work for travel chain Farlands. The consultancy's original brief was to develop an effective internal communications system of memos and newsletters, but they concluded that an intranet would be far more effective. So with the client's agreement Steppart rewrote their brief Not only did the new system have to be user-friendly, its design also had to reflect Farlands' brand values - bright, colourful and synonymous, with fun. It succeeded in full, overcame all the. company's communications problems, and allowed it to make the predicted savings on postage and paper What was not foreseen, however, was the strong sense of involvement and even excitement that the innovation also created, which greatly enhanced Farlands' intemal culture. So today's first prizewinner is the Steppart Consultancy,
The winning consultancy in our Corporate Identity category is J3, for their work for Coffee Cabina, whose outlets provide such good cups of coffee and cakes. When Coffee Cabina decided to re-brand, two years ago, it had nine stores with three separate identities. Since it launched its new identity, the company has refitted all its existing stores and a further dozen are about to be opened. While operating costs have risen by 15 per cent, profitability has increased by over 40 per cent. Since hitting 'the streets, the new design has led to a steady rise in the number of new customers, and most of the stores reached the sales potential which was forecast for them within two to three weeks, instead of the standard four to six months, Ladies and gentlemen, the J3 Consultoncy.
Now we turn to packaging, and this award goes to consultancy Tamka for its work for Starbury Ice Creams. Starbury decided to launch a range of premium ice creams, to complement its existing range, and identified this as an opportunity to aim at a more mature market segment than the children who comprised the majority of its existing customers. This was made part of Tamka's brief Another challenge for the designers was to attract year-round sales, unlike the seasonal consumption which the existing range depended on. The new premium ice creams have quickly become established, and the company strongly believes that this was helped by the excellent packaging which Tamka designed for them. The designs challenge every tradition, from the shape and material of the ice cream containers to the minimalist feel of the label. The panel was very taken by th/s, and by the coherent approach which the designers took to every aspect of the design package. So the award in the packaging category goes to Tamka.

During the discovery and settlement of what is now the United States, the flags of various European nations were flown over the land, as symbols of possession. Later, in the Colonial (殖民的) and Revolutionary War periods, flags representing famous persons, places, and events were flown in the American Colonies.
The first official flag of the United States was created by Congress (国会) on June 14, 1777. It consisted of 13 alternate red and white stripes and 13 white stars in a field of blue, representing the 13 colonies that had declared their independence in 1776. Congress adopted a new flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes in 1795, to give representation to the two new states admitted into the Union, Vermont and Kentucky.
By 1817, there were 20 states in the Union, and it became app.arent that adding one stripe for each new state would destroy the shape of the flag. As a result, Congress in 1818 restored the original design of 13 stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by one star. In 1912 President William H. Taft made the first official provision for the arrangement of the stars. He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each. Previously the arrangement of the stars had been left to the flagmaker's desire.
The evolution of the Stars and Stripes reflects the growth of the United States. After the admission of Hawaii into the Union in 1959, the flag was officially changed for the 26th time since its creation.
There are many government flags flown in the United States in addition to the national's flag. Among them are the president's and vice -president's flags and those of the federal departments and some federal agencies. Each state in the Union has an official flag.

A．Because the flags were older than the national flag of the U. S.
B．Because the land was divided by these nations.
C．Because there was no universal flag over the land.
D．We don't know from the passage.

Last Sunday morning, Murphy found a wallet while he was walking down the street. He picked it up and looked inside. He found ID cards, ＄18.00, and six lottery tickets. He checked the fication and saw that the wallet belonged to Mr. Jean- Guy Lavigueur.
He put the wallet in the mailbox but he kept the lottery tickets. He thought, "Maybe, I'll win ＄10.00 or something."
Later that evening, he checked the newspaper. He had the winning lottery ticket and it was worth ＄ 7,650,267.00. He was so surprised and almost had a heart attack!
For a minute, he thought about keeping the ticket but then decided to return it to Mr. Lavigueur. He remembered the address from the ID cards so he went to the house and knocked on the door.
Yves, Jean - Guy's French-speaking son answered the door. William tried to tell him about the lottery ticket but Yves didn't understand a word of English. Yves told him to go away in French. Then, he closed the door in William's face.
The next night, William returned with a bilingual friend. This time, Jean - Guy opened the door. William gave him the ticket and said, "You am a millionaire! This is your ticket and it's worth over ＄ 7 million."
Jean- Guy said, "You are an honest man. I'm giving you a ＄ 1.2-million-reward."
