听力原文： Well, I feel it is very important for families to have regular meals together. One of my good child memories was dinner with my parents and two sisters. Because my husband and I both work and our three children are busy with their studies, we seldom had a chance to get together as a family. But we thought it would be possible for us to sit down and enjoy meals together every week. First we try setting three fixed days: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. But almost everyone was unhappy. Then my son has the idea that every one told me his or her most convenient days and I would choose the two best days. For a while, the children were still unhappy with the idea. They said they would rather spend the time with their friends playing sports. Gradually, though, they began to see these evenings together as interesting, and helpful. We loved a lot. We made plans for trips. We discussed each other's problems. After a couple of months, anyone who had to miss a family meal felt regretful. And now, we all feel that we have been able to build much stronger relations within the family than we had before

听力原文： Nearly every day we are reminded to get more exercise, but this can be hard to do with the hectic lifestyles we have today. Multi-tasking—doing two or more things at the same time—is now a common theme in the workplace. So, why not try and combine your daily commute with a good aerobic workout？ Cycling is a great way of doing just that, and you can get to work just as quickly as you can by car for most journeys under five miles. And you don't have to pay for parking. As part of National Bike Week, our cycle forum is holding a bike riders' breakfast on Thursday, July 16 in front of the Collins Building. If you can show that you arrived at work by bike, there will be free coffee, orange juice, fruit, and yogurt awaiting you!
What example of multitasking does the speaker give？
A．Eating breakfast while driving to work
B．Commuting while getting exercise
C．Thinking while cycling
D．Drinking coffee while working

Superstition (迷信) has always been part of human nature and has existed in every society. There are superstitions about numbers, animals, food, the weather, the sky, illness, work, sleep and parts of the body. In fact, superstitions have been part of every aspect of human existence. In the past, people had no scientific explanations for events such as birth, death, thunderstorms and changes in the weather, They thought that these events were caused by spirits, and they developed ways to welcome the good spirits and chase away the evil spirits. They hoped that by wearing special clothes, eating special foods or performing certain rituals (仪式), the spirits would be happy and would not harm them.
Some superstitions have a practical origin. When you spill salt, do you throw a pinch of it over your left shoulder？ Today we understand many of the chemical properties that make salt valuable, such as its ability to melt snow and to freeze ice cream. In the past, salt was thought to have magical powers. People probably realized the value of salt when they saw animals near a salt lick. They soon discovered that salt could be used to preserve food, and probably thought that it could protect people as well.
In modern times, although we have scientific explanations for many things, life still holds many uncertainties and fears. There are still things that we can not control, such as birth and death. Even the weather can be a source of anxiety. When we plan an outdoor party, for example, we hope that it does not rain. We try to be in control of various situations by making wishes, wearing lucky charms or reading our horoscopes (星位) to see what we should do. So, keep your fingers crossed and knock on wood. Good luck!
Superstitious activities can be observed in ______.
A．nature
B．the weather
C．animal behavior
D．human society

Keep on Fighting
Turning once again to the question of invasion, I would observe that there has never been a period in all these long centuries of which we boast when an absolute guarantee against invasion, still less against serious raids, could have been given to our people. In the days of Napoleon the same wind which would have carried his transports across the Channel might have driven away the blockading (封锁) fleet. There was always the chance, and it is that chance which has excited and befooled (愚弄) the imaginations of many continental tyrants. Many are the tales that are told. We are assured that novel methods will be adopted, and when we see the originality of malice (怨恨), the ingenuity of aggression, which our enemy displays, we may certainly prepare ourselves for every kind of novel stratagem (战略) and every kind of brutal and treacherous (奸诈)maneuver (花招). I think that no idea is so outlandish (古怪的) that it should not be considered and viewed with a searching, but at the same time, I hope, with a steady eye.
We must never forget the solid assurances of sea power and those which belong to air power if it can be locally exercised. I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace (威胁) of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. This is the resolve of His Majesty's government - every man of them. This is the will of parliament and the nation. The British Empire and the French republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous states have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious (可憎的) apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag (变弱) or fail.
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost might be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills, we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated (征服) and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the new world, with its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
Throughout Britain's history, there has been no guarantee that an invasion would not happen.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned
