听力原文: Researchers have discovered a link between drinking and thinking. A moderate amount of alcohol may help us keep our mental abilities as we age. Brain scans show alcohol abuse kills brain cells. But little is known about the effects of life long drinking. So moderate drinkers may want to toast new findings from researchers at Duke, and Indiana University. Dr. Joe Christian of Indiana University says men who have one or two drinks each day retain slightly stronger comprehension skills than the non-drinker or the heavy drinker. The doctor and his colleagues give metal tests to nearly 4,000 twins between ages of 66 and 76. The moderate drinkers had slightly better reasoning ability than their brothers or sisters who drink more or less. Other studies have found that alcohol in moderation can help the heart. But alcohol abuse can cause bone loss and other health problems. This study was presented at an alcoholism meeting in San Antonio.

听力原文: When I arrived in America three years ago, I was surprised by the tremendous amount of advertising. But now I've come to realize that it is a creative and necessary part of an industrial society. I, too, want to improve my life style. and to buy better products. I look to advertising to show me how to do it. Deciding what to believe in an advertisement, however, isn't easy. It seems to me that a person must purchase things with a lot of care. As a consumer, I want to get the best for my money so I really have to understand the techniques of advertising. Otherwise, manufacturers would be able to sell me anything, whatever its quality may be. The creative aspects of advertisements, for instance, often cover up defects or problems in products. I have learned this well, since I have made purchases and lost money because the items were of poor quality. The future advertising most likely will involve more public participation. In the future, if customers really care about the quality of something as well as the quantity, maybe advertisers will begin to care more about what they are trying to sell.
