Science seems to be getting closer to answering a very old mystery (奥秘). Homing pigeons (信鸽) can be taken hundreds of miles from their homes. When they are let to go to fly again, they find their way home. Because of this special ability to find home, pigeons have been used as messengers for hundreds of years.
Today people even breed homing pigeons for racing as a sport. The birds are shipped to some chosen place a few hundred miles away. Then all of them are let to go together. The winner is the bird that gets home first. A good racer can make it home from 500 miles away in a single day.
The mystery of the homing pigeon is how it tells direction and how it finds home.
The first part seems to be pretty well answered, and we know of two ways that pigeons tell directions. First, they use the sun. Experiments show that homing pigeons can tell directions by the sun. What happens when the sky is darkly overcast by clouds and no one can see where the sun is？ Then the pigeons still find their way home.
Naturally, people have wondered whether pigeons might have a built-in compass—something that would tell them about the direction of the earth’s magnetic (磁的) field. Many different kinds of experiments were done. Here’s what the scientists decided after they had made experiments many times. When pigeons can see the sun, they use it as their main means(手段)of direction-finding. When they cannot see the sun, they use some special way to sense direction from the earth’s magnetic field.
But how do pigeons know which direction is toward home？ What do they use that we would call a map？ These are other questions to be answered.
Pigeons have been used as messengers because ______.
A．they have a built-in compass
B．they can cover 500 miles in a single day
C．they have special ability to tell directions
D．they can find their way home
听力原文：M: Have you done the lab experiment for physiology yet--the one on taste？
W: Yeah, it was kind of fun--mapping the taste buds. Didn't you think so？
M: I'm doing it this afternoon. How long will it take？
W: It went pretty quickly--under an hour, anyway. See, first you mix up the four solutions.
M: You take water and add either sugar, lemon juice, salt, or... uh... What was it？
W: Bitter quinine.
M: That's it... uh... then what？
W: Then all you have to do is taste each sample and describe where each flavor seems most intense.
M: Is that hard？
W: Not really. One thing to remember though--not all the taste buds are on the tongue.
M: Right. I'll keep that in mind. And thanks for going over this with me. Maybe we could talk about this after I've tried it--we could get a pizza or something.
W: Great. Give me a call.

听力原文：W: Good Morning, Mr. Martin. Haven't seen you for a long time. How are you？
M: I've been feeling pretty well until just the last few days.
W: What seems to be the problem now？
M: I feel run-down, tired. I've been having headaches almost every day. And I'm not getting as much sleep as I usually do.
W: Have you been eating properly？ Eating the right kind of food is important for your health, you know.
M: Well, I haven't been eating too well, I guess. I usually only have enough time to grab a sandwich and a cup of coffee for lunch. Sometimes I'm too tired to eat anything at all for dinner.
W: That's no good. It's necessary to have a well-balanced diet. How're things going at work？
M: Oh, pretty well. I've been promoted, so I have a lot of new responsibilities. We've had a lot of urgent projects, so it's necessary for me to work late almost every night.
W: Working late and worrying aren't very good for you. It's important for you to eat properly and to get enough sleep. And it's even more important for you to get some exercise. Getting some exercise will help you to sleep better.
M: Yes, I suppose so. I've been thinking about taking up jogging. Maybe I'll try to do that this weekend ...
W: And you have to persevere with it.
M: Yes. I think I have to be persistent instead of giving up easily.

In the past, when things were made by hand, it seems there was a lot of pride in individual workmanship. People were really proud of things they made.
But now, of course, individuals don't make things. Most things are made on assembly lines and one person only has a very small part in putting something together so there isn't any workmanship any more.
A good example of this is a friend of mine, Mary. She bought a toaster last summer at a sale. She used it, I guess, pretty often, but she only had it a couple of months when suddenly the plastic base of the toaster cracked wide open, and at the same time the heating system in the toaster burned out.
She took it back to the store, but the clerk in the store said they wouldn't take it back, and they wouldn't give her money back, because she bought it on sale. So the only thing she could do was to buy a new one.
I'm sure Mary is more careful when she buys things now, and that's what we all have to be.
It can be learned from the passage that ______.
A．workmanship now can not be found as it was in the past
B．the toaster was broken because Mary used it too much
C．the quality of goods now isn't as good as it was
D．it is fair enough for the store not to give money back to Mary
听力原文：W: Michael, where abouts in China are you from？
M: I was born in Beijing, but I live in Shanghai now. How about yon？
W: I' m from Scotland.
M: Oh？ What's it like？
W: Well, the weather is pretty cold there. Actually, most of Scotland is cold and often wet. I'm sure it's the coldest part of the British Isles.
M: Beijing is very cold in winter too, although it' s more of a dry cold, if you know what I mean. However, I like winter; it' s my favorite season. Summer is just too hot!
W: Well, I think you' re lucky to have a hot summer. Scotland' s summer is pretty miserable, wet and cold.
M: Do you think people's personalities are defined by the climate they live in？
W: Well, that's an interesting idea. I think there's definitely something in it, because when the weather is hot, I easily lose my temper, but when it's cooler, I feel much calmer.
M: If it' s raining I always feel depressed. I cry along with the weather!
W: Spring always makes me feel happy; the birds are singing and the whole atmosphere seems cheerful.
M: Hmm, I agree. I think spring is my favorite season too.
W: What about the winter blues？ What are they？
M: Well, that means you' re down in the dumps, because the weather' s so gloomy and cold. You feel all sad and blue! I often get them.
W: Oh, I don' t I love winter, but I suppose you could say I get the summer reds! Because I always see red in the hot weather and get into arguments and stuff.

A．Beijing
B．Shanghai
C．Scotland
D．America
听力原文：M: I came to talk to you about transferring my major out of the math department.
W: Let's see. You're a sophomore now, aren't you ？ Why do you want to change majors？
M: On the final test in my calculus class I got a pretty poor score, I knew the material, but I made a small mistake early in the equation, so all the rest of the answers were wrong, too.
W: Didn't you discuss this with your instructor？
M: I didn't bother. We never got along too well. Besides, I really don't want to face this kind of pressure on every test till I graduate.
W: So what major do you want to change to？
M: I love psychology, but you need a Ph.D. to get any kind of a good job. So I thought sociology would be next best, and there is reasonable employment available for someone with a B.A.
W: Yes, that's true. And you could feasibly apply your math credits to a math minor.
M: So is it possible to change my major？
W: It seems reasonable to me, but you will need approval from the department head to get in.
(23)
A．Pass his math class.
B．Get a good job.
C．Get his degree.
D．Change his field of study.
听力原文：Woman: Hey Dan. How did the appraisal go？
Man: Oh, it was pretty good thanks. Carol - she's my line manager - seemed to know me better than I knew myself, and she really helped me to identify strengths and weaknesses I didn't know I had. I'd thought we were just going to talk about practical things, like what my prospects are for promotion, rather than my psychology!
Woman: Do you want a promotion？ I thought you'd chosen to go down a grade when you took this job.
Man: That's right. I used to manage a sales team. It meant working long hours, and it could be pretty difficult at times, though on the whole I enjoyed the challenge. But it kept me at a distance from customers and I wanted to go back to that. So here I am, a sales rep again. I'd be interested in promotion if it didn't stop me doing the fun parts of the job.
Woman: How have people reacted to your taking a step down？
Man: Most of the people in my last company found it strange, but in fact a couple of them thought about changing to this company too, though it didn't come to anything. There seems to be a rumour going around that I'll be looking for something better soon, but actually I'm pretty happy here.
Woman: You certainly seem to be good at the job.
Man: To be honest, with all the new insurance products coming out it isn't easy to keep up with them all. I have to struggle to remember everything that's available. At least working with a computer comes fairly natural to me, so that saves time.
Woman: I'm glad I don't have to deal with customers the way you do. I haven't got the patience.
Man: You certainly need that sometimes, when someone spends ages making up their mind, but I don't find it a problem. And I don't mind explaining complicated policies in simple language: it's quite a challenge. But there are some people I'd much rather avoid.
Unfortunately in this job, you've got to make everyone feel you really enjoy their company.
Woman: Quite frankly, the less I have to do with them the better!
Man: I tell you what though - in my appraisal I suggested some changes to the way I work. I couldn't persuade Carol to let me work fewer evenings and more on Saturdays, but at least I won't have to come into the office every day: she's letting me work from home instead. And that'll mean I'll waste less time travelling, so I should be able to make more commission, which will be a relief, as the basic salary's so low.
Woman: Good for you.
Man: We also talked about an idea I have for increasing sales, which she'll put to the senior managers. The company's spending much more on advertising now, so the name's more recognisable, but I suspect it doesn't lead directly to more business. Now that sales reps are allowed to travel anywhere in the country, incentives should be offered to existing customers to introduce new ones. It's the personal contact that counts.
Woman: So with your management experience, you must be in good position to judge your own line manager. What do you think of her skills？
Man: She'll always make time to listen to anyone in the team who wants to talk to her, and that's a plus. On the other hand, I've never known her to be ready for a meeting, even when she's called it herself, which isn't a very good model for the department. And it's really left up to us to motivate ourselves.
Woman: Well, I'm pleased your interview seems to have gone well.
Note: Teacher, stop the recording here and time ten minutes. Remind students when there is one minute remaining.
