听力原文： The farm economy of the United States has changed a lot in tile last seventy years. In the 1930s, 25 percent of the nation's population lived on farms (32) . Today less than one percent of Americans do.
Farm incomes have changed over the years too. For example, in 1933, people living and working on farms had much less money to spend than other Americans. At that time, farm families had about one-third the income of non-farmers after all necessary expenses had been paid. By the late 1970s, however, that difference had almost disappeared (33) .
In 2004, farmers had their best year ever. The United States Department of Agriculture says the average farm family earned about 81,000 dollars. That is more than the average American family, which earned about 60,000 dollars. Yet these numbers do not completely explain the situation for all farmer.. Those who have small farms often take other jobs to earn extra income. And farm earnings for large farms grew faster than for small ones (34) .
The Department of Labor measures the pay of industrial workers differently. It measures the average hourly and weekly pay for industrial workers. This is because factory workers are generally paid by the hour unlike farmers who earn income from their farm businesses. Industrial workers are about 23 percent of the labor force. But that number has been decreasing (35) . Most Americans have jobs that provide services. Professional technical and other services employ about 76 percent of the labor force.
(33)
A．About 25 percent of the population.
B．Less than 23 percent of the population.
C．About 76 percent of the population.
D．Less than 1 percent of the population.
Warm people likely to keep cold at bay
Staying positive through the cold season could be your best defense against getting ill，new study findings suggest．In an experiment that exposed healthy volunteers to a cold or flu virus，researchers found that people with a generally sunny disposition were less likely to fall ill．
The findings，published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine，build on evidence that a “posi-tive emotional style”can help ward off the common cold and other illnesses．Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective as in happiness boosting immune function and subjective as in happy people being less troubled by a scratchy throat or runny nose7.
“People with a positive emotional style. may have different immune responses to the virus．”explained lead study author Dr Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh．“And when they do get a cold，they may interpret their illness as being less severe．”
Cohen and his colleagues had found in a previous study that happier people seemed less susceptible to catching a cold，but some questions remained as to whether the emotional trait itself had the effect．
For the new study，the researchers had 1 93 healthy adults complete standard measures of personality traits，self-perceived health and emotional “style．”Those who tended to be happy，energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style，while those who were often unhappy，tense and hostile had a negative style．
The researchers gave them nasal drops containing either a cold virus or a particular flu virus．0ver the next six days，the volunteers reported on any aches，pains，sneezing or congestion they had，while the researchers collected objective data，like daily mucus production．Cohen and his colleagues found that based on objective measures of nasal woes，happy people were less likely to develop a cold．

Of all the voices raised in protest to the Stamp Act, none had greater effect than that of a young lawyer from Virginia -Patrick Henry. Henry had only recently been elected to the Virginia Assembly. Yet when the Stamp Act came up for discussion, he opposed it almost single-handedly. He also expressed, for the first time, certain ideas that were held by many Americans of the time but that never before had been stated so openly. "Is life so dear or peace so sweet, as to be bought at the price of chains and slavery？ Forbid it, Almighty(万能的 ) God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!"

听力原文： At present, human beings have used many devices to measure time. Perhaps, the sundial was, one of the earliest and simplest devices. A sundial can measure the movement of the sun across the sky each day.
The sundial worked very well only when the sun was shining. So other ways of measuring the passing of time were invented at that time. One device was the hourglass. It used a thin stream of falling sand to measure time.
By the 1700s, people had already developed mechanical clocks and watches. And today many of our clocks and watches are electronic.
So we have devices to mark the passing of time. But what time is it now？ Clocks in different parts of the world do not show the same time at the same time. As international communications and travel grew, it became clear we need a way to establish a common time for all parts of the world.
In 1884, an international conference divided the world into 24 time areas or zones. Each zone represents one hour. The astronomical observation in Greenwich, England, was chosen as the starting point for the time zone.
Most people have no trouble in agreeing that time moves forward. Some scientists believe there is one reason why time moves forward. It is clear we need a way to establish a common time for all parts of the world with scientific law: the second law of thermodynamics. The law says disorder increases with time.
(33)
A．It measures the length of a day and a night.
B．it measures the movement of the sun each day.
C．It measures the passing of hours, minutes and perhaps seconds.
D．It measures the shadow of the stick across the flat surface of the sundial.
