听力原文： Naturally, a large number of senior citizens in America are looking forward to e

njoying their retirement, but the recent trend in retirement has made it harder and harder. Some people have to delay their retirement by a few years and keep working to earn extra income, and those who have already quit their job have a very tough time finding another one. According to the nation's largest credit-counseling agency, the baby boomer generation is the first generation that is going into retirement carrying substantial credit-card debt. The average credit-card balance among Americans over the age of 65 climbed 149 percent between 1989 and 2001. Those between the ages of 55 and 64 carried a similar amount of debt.

Generation Gap

A few years ago, it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap, a division between young people and their elders. Parents complained that children did not show them proper respect and obedience, while children complained that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong？ Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared？ Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society.

One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life styles. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and approve of, and often to continue the family occupation. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, most out of the family home at an early age, marry or live or choose occupations different from those of their parents.

In our upwardly mobile society, parents often expect their Children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the division between them. Often they discover that they have very little in common with each other.

Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become obsolete overnight.

The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities.

No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a feature of American life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the freedoms and opportunities of our society, and in the rapid pace at which society changes.

The main idea of the first paragraph is that______.

A．the generation gap suddenly appeared

B．the generation gap is a feature of American life

C．how people can bridge the generation gap

D．many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap

听力原文：Junk food, too little exercise and an increasingly sedentary life style, all well

听力原文： Junk food, too little exercise and an increasingly sedentary life style, all well-known factors in the spiraling problem of childhood obesity in Britain. The causes are clear, but the government's efforts to tackle the problem are inefficient; confused and under-resourced ac-cording to Today's Report.

Obesity costs the NHS one billion pounds a year, and blights the health of up to one million children under 16. Doctors say this could be the first generation for decades to die before their parents unless urgent action is taken. Yet, progress is so slow according to Today's Report that the government risks missing its target of halting obesity in children under 11 by 2010. The Health Care Commission, Audit Commission and National Audit Office're pointing out it's taken 31 experts 18 months to agree how to measure obesity. The report says there are many initiatives to tackle the problem, but no specific funding. It complains that many organizations involved are unclear about their roles, causing potential confusion and wasting resources. And it adds that there are too few frontline staff to deal with the complex problem of obesity.

According to the passage, what cause(s) the problem of childhood obesity in Britain？

A．Junk food.

B．Too little exercise.

C．An increasingly sedentary life style.

D．All the above.

根据以下材料，回答题

Androids

Computers are now powerful enough to allow the age of humanoid robots to come. And it won"t be long before we will see realistic cyber companions， complete with skin， dexterity （灵敏），and intelligence. They will be programmed to tend to your every need.

Will we ever want to marry robots？ Artificial intelligence researcher David Levy has published a book claiming human-robot relationships will become popular in the next few decades.

___________ （46）Will humans really be able to form. deep emotional attachments to machines？ It will， in fact， be relatively easy to form. these strong attachments because the human mind loves to give human attributes to other creatures——even objects.

For example， researchers in San Diego recently put a small humanoid robot in with a toddler playgroup for several months. ___________ （47） The children ended up treating it as a fellow toddler. When it lay down because its batteries were flat， the kids even covered it with a blanket.

In a few decades， when humanoid robots with plastic skin look and feel very real， will people want to form. relationships with them？ What if the bots could hold a conversation？ And be programmed to be the perfect companions——soul mates， even？ ___________ （48） And like those toddlers in the experiment， they will be very accepting of them.

The next question， then， is whether there is anything wrong with having an emotional relationship with a machine. Even today there are people who form. deep attachments to their pets and use them as substitutes for friends or even children. Few consider that unethical （不和伦理的，不道德的） . ___________ （49） For those who always seem to.end up marrying the wrong man or woman， a robotic Mr. or Ms. Right could be mighty tempting. As the father of artificial intelligence，Marvin Minsky， put it when asked about the ethics of lonely older people forming close relationships with robots: "If a robot had all the virtues of a person and was smarter and more understanding， why would the elderly bother talking to other bad-tempered old people？"

A robot could be programmed to be as dumb or smart， as independent or subservient（服从的），as an owner desired. And that"s the big disadvantage. Having the perfect robot partner will damage the ability to form. equally deep human-human relationships. People will always seem imperfect in comparison. When you"re behaving badly， a good friend will tell you. ___________ （50） People in relationships have to learn to adapt to each other: to enjoy their common interests and to deal with their differences. It makes us richer， stronger， and wiser. A robot companion will be perfect at the start. However， there will be nothing to move the relationship to grow to greater heights.
