听力原文： Megan Della Selva, a sophomore at George Washington University, has already traded e-mail messages with her mom, just to say hi, Maria Minkarah, the friend she is having lunch with, has just talked to her dad, to report on a doctor's visit and her latest thoughts about studying abroad. The young women keep in close touch with their families, discussing matters big and small, academic and
personal. Interviews with students on a variety of campuses suggest that many turn to their parents for help with everything from roommate troubles to how to improve the paper they e-mailed home. Perhaps the most striking thing was the tone students had when talking about their parents. , fond, warm and admiring. The sense of parents as people to be admired was widespread.
Not all college students are this closely connected with their parents. But university officials, students and their families say that the generation gap is nothing like what it used to be, now that baby boomers, once so alienated from their parents, have become parents themselves. "This generation of parents is more involved," said Jennifer Bell, coordinator of the parents office at North Carolina State University. "Thirty years ago, parents were content to drive their kids to college, drop them off, and pick them up at graduation. Now there are different expectations, because they've been involved in their kids' lives all through school."
Cellphones and e-mail have a lot to do with what university administrators and parents alike say has been a big change over the last decade. Hundreds of colleges nationwide have recognized the new reality by giving parents a stronger presence on campus, through a host of offices created to deal with parents' queries and concerns.

The two-way radio is very important to people who live on these great Australian farms. It works much like a telephone. A person can listen to someone else talk and give an answer.
When these radios first came into use, the Australian government set up a special(专门的，特别的 ) two-way radio programme(节目). Then, people on the large farms could talk to a doctor hundreds of miles away. They could tell the doctor about someone who was sick, and the doctor could let them know how to care for the sick person.
Since the large farms were so far from towns, the children could not to go to school. Radio schools were set up for them in some places. At a certain time each day, the boys and girls turn on their radios and listen to teachers in cities miles away.
Families on the large farms wanted to give news to their neighbors. "Round robin(知更鸟)" talks by radio were started to keep families in touch with each other. They could talk about who was getting married or who was sick or who was going away. The men could talk about their sheep and cattle and how much money the markets would pay for them. In many ways the radio became a newspaper for the farm people of Australia.
This passage tells us something about ______.
A．how the radio is used in Australia
B．why the radio is important in Australia
C．how large Australia is
D．both A and B

Hundreds of the vast blocks had been built before anyone began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not. Are they suitable places for people, children especially, to live in？ A well-known British architect, who personally designed many of these buildings, now believes that the high-rises may well make those people who have been housed in them suffer a great deal.
Evidence has been collected by social workers, which suggests that people do suffer. They complain about severe loneliness and deep depression living within these great towers. People also talk about lack of communication with others, no easy access to a playground for children, no chances for adults to get familiarized with each other. Many people say that they have lived next door to each other for years in the same building, but they never know who their neighbors are. Some experts say that a large number of people living in the high-rises suffer from mental disorder and even developed criminal tendencies. As a result of these new discoveries, plans for new high-rise blocks are being reconsidered. We Chinese are now building up many high-rises in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Perhaps we should also reconsider the idea too.
There was a big housing problem after the Second World War ______.
A．in London
B．in the rural areas
C．in many big cities
D．in many countries
听力原文： You're about to spend four years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars of your parent's money, and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going. Do you ever stop to wonder why you're going？
Relax. You're making the right decision. First of all, you'll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. College is also a lot of fun — after you graduate, you'll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. And remember that college graduates earn about twice the income of those who never attended college.
Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, JohnsonReview is here to help you every step of the way.
Researching Schools. To us, the most important decision you'll make is to choose the school that really fits you best — not the one that is the most competitive or has the best-equipped rooms.
Applying to School. On JohnsonReview.com, you'll find hundreds of actual college applications and links to many more.
Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning the ways to get financial aid. If you really do your research, you'll learn that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost.

Within a year some 200 people carried the world's first multi-use card. For an annual fee of $5, these card holders could charge meals at 27 restaurants in and around New York City. By the end of 1951 more than a million dollars had been charged on the growing number of cards, and the company was soon turning a profit.
The problem was to persuade enough people to carry the cards. Diners Club turned to promotions. It gave away a round-the-world trip on a popular television show. The winners charged their expenses and made it "from New York to New York without a dime in their pocket". By 1955 the convenience of charging was catching on in a big way.
The first to turn a profit was Bank of America's Bank Americard. Bankers from all over the country descended on its California headquarters to learn the secret of its success—so many that in 1966 Bank Americard began forming alliances with banks outside the state.
Five million holiday credit card shoppers would have created a bonanza for banks, but in the dash to market, the banks had been less than cautious in assembling their lists. Some families received 15 cards. Dead people and babies got cards. Hundreds of Chicagoans discovered they could use or sell a card they "found" and by law, the person whose name appeared on it was liable for the charges—even if he or she had never requested of received the card.
The disaster sparked a movement to regulate the industry. Public Law 91-508, signed by President Nixon in October 1970, prohibited issuers from sending cards to people who hadn't requested them at all but eliminated card-holder liability for charges on a card reported lost or stolen. Later, the Fair Credit Billing Act set standard procedures for resolving billing disputes.
Of course, Credit cards have not only replaced cash for many purposes, but also in effect have created cash by making it instantly available virtually everywhere. Experts estimate there are from 15,000 to 19,000 different cards available in his country.
So the revolution that began in 1949 with an embarrassed businessman who was out of cash now seems complete. What Alfred Bloomingdale, then president of Diners Club, predicted more than 30 years ago seems to have come true: an America where "there will be only two classes of people—those with credit and those who can't get them."
When did American begin to love credit card？
A．In 1949.
B．In 1955.
C．In 1970.
D．In 1951.
It is a wise father that knows his own child, but today a man can boost his paternal(fatherly)wisdom — or at least confirm that hes the kids dad. All he needs to do is shell out $30 for paternity testing kit(PTK)at his local drugstore — and another $120 to get the results.
More than 60,000 people have purchased the PTKs since they first become available without prescriptions last years, according to Doug Fogg, chief operating officer of Identigene, which makes the over-the-counter kits. More than two dozen companies sell DNA tests directly to the public, ranging in price from a few hundred dollars to more than $2,500.
Among the most popular: paternity and kinship testing, which adopted children can use to find their biological relatives and families can use to track down kids put up for adoption, DNA testing is also the latest rage among passionate genealogists — and supports businesses that offer to search for a familys geographic roots.
Most tests require collecting cells by webbing saliva(唾液)in the mouth and sending it to the company for testing. All tests require a potential candidate with whom to compare DNA.
But some observers are skeptical. "There is a kind of false precision being hawked by people claiming they are doing ancestry testing," says Trey Duster, a New York University sociologist. He notes that each individual has many ancestors — numbering in the hundreds just a few centuries back. Yet most ancestry testing only considers a single lineage(世系), either the Y chromosome(染色体)inherited through men in a fathers line or mitochondrial(线粒体)DNA, which is passed down only from mothers. This DNA can reveal genetic information about only one or two ancestors, even though, for example, just three generations back people also have six other great-grandparents or, four generations back, 14 other great-great-grandparents.
Critics also argue that commercial genetic testing is only as good as the reference collections to which a sample is compared. Databases used by some companies dont rely on data collected systematically but rather lump together information from different research projects. This means that a DNA database may have a lot of data from some regions and not others, so a persons test results may differ depending on the company that processes the results.
According to the passage, what is PTK used to？
A．locate one"s birth place.
B．promote genetic research.
C．find out if one is the father of a child.
D．help improve one"s intelligence.
Hundreds of buildings were（wrecked） by the earthquake.
A．damaged
B．shaken
C．fallen
D．jumped
