听力原文:There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, me being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual — the sort of environment in which he is.
The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, end their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities.
Mark, on the other hand, was raised in the home of rich parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to a good school, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Peter's score was 85, well below the level he might have attained if reared under average conditions. Mark' s score was 125, twenty-five points above the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins would have tested at roughly the same level.
(38)
A.Children reared under average conditions possess average intelligence.
B.Lack of opportunity prevents the growth of intelligence.
C.An individual's intelligence is determined chiefly by his environment.
D.Changes of environment produce changes in the brain structure.

听力原文:M: Good morning, Dr. Smith. My name is Peter. I am a freshman in your department. There are a few things that I am not quite sure of and I do need your advice.
W: Thank you very much for your trust, Peter. As your academic advisor I will try my best to help you.
M: Thanks. It's about my major...
W: Well, what's the matter?
M: I used to major in English, but now I have made up my mind to switch to Applied Linguistics, concentrating on Teaching English as a Foreign Language.
W: So you want to switch majors?
M: Yes. But I wonder if it is possible.
W: Well, usually we allow it, as long as you have enough credits.
M: That's good news for me. I'm not interested in literature and that sort of thing. I want to be a real teacher, Professor. But I'm worried about the make-up credits.
W: You usually do have to make up some credits when you switch majors. Are you OK on credits?
M: Not too many. I'll have to add about 12 credits as far as I can. figure from my transcript. Would you please let me know how many credits are required to get a master's degree?
W: Usually thirty-six credits are needed, ff you take five courses per term, you'll have enough credits after just two semesters. Usually each course is worth three credits. To get the six remaining credits you either prepare a thesis or take two more courses.
M: Is there anything else besides the 36 credits for the master's?
W: You have to have an oral defense.

M: Yeah, so what are you doing this summer, anything special?
W: Well, actually yeah. My parents have always liked taking my brother and me to different places in our country. You know, places with historical significance. I guess they wanted to reinforce the stuff we learned in school about history. And so even though we are older now, they still do once in a while.
M: Oh so where are you going this summer?
W: Well, this summer it's finally going to be Yan'an.
M: Finally? You mean they never took you yet? I mean Yan'an; it's probably the most famous revolutionary base in the country. It's only a couple of hours ride by train. I think that would be one of the first places where they should have taken you. I have been there a couple of times.
W: We were going to go about five years ago, but something happened. I cannot remember what changed our plans. Yeah, don't ask me what it was, but we ended up not going anywhere that year. I hope that doesn't happen again this year.
M: I wrote a paper about the revolutionary activities in Yan'an last semester for a history class after I visited it for the fifth time last summer. The trip really helped a lot.

听力原文: The hand has been a symbol through the ages and in many cultures There are hundreds of expressions-and combinations of words using hand in the English language Let us examine some of the expressions that use hand.
To get a hand in is to begin a job, to begin to know something about it. When we learned completely, it will be easy for us. We will be able to do it hands down. If we do the job well, we may end up with the upper hand. That means to be in control or to have gained complete understanding of a situation. On the other hand, if the situation gets out of hand then, it is out of control. Then we may have to hand it to someone, to let someone else take over the business. It is time for us to wash our hands, to end it up completely. You can also lend a hand to someone but without really giving up your hand. You lend a hand when you help someone. You offer them a helping hand. If someone is kind enough to lend us a hand then we surely do not want to bite the hand that feeds us. We do not want to repay his kindness by treating him badly.
The expression "to end up with the upper hand" means ______.
A.to begin a job
B.to be in control

听力原文: So, if there are no more questions about the facilities at student services or any of the special activities we have talked about, then we can move on to the next topic.
The last topic is health insurance. You will be required to have a health insurance policy of some sort at registration. If you are a scholarship student, you probably have automatic coverage established. If you are paying for your own tuition, you can still get insurance through the school. The forms to buy insurance from the school will be available at the registration desk when you register. If you have any questions about the benefits available, you can look at the back of the student handbook. In general, the school usually offers a good insurance policy compared to private companies so you should take a look. If you are receiving financial aid, you should contact your financial aid counselor to see if you can also receive insurance coverage.
If there are no other questions, that will do it for today .The best advice is to follow your student handbook and things should go smoothly. Remember, if there are any problems, you can ask me or any of the other student helpers. We will be under the sign that says "registrar's" at the registration area.
What is the speaker' s job?
A.The president of the university.
B.A registrar.
C.The head of the class.
D.A student.

听力原文:W: I've just read a curious fact. Did you know that people who spend less than 10 minutes in a drug store are five times more likely to make a purchase than those who spend half an hour there?
M: I saw that article, too. But think, if someone runs into a drug store for 10 minutes, he is usually there to make a specific purchase.
W: And someone who spends more time there may be just looking?
M: Exactly. Haven't you ever gone into a store thinking that you'll buy something and then talk yourself out of it?
W: Yes, I have. Especially when I thought I could get it for less elsewhere, or I really didn't need it after all.
M: Exactly, but, if you run in to buy something specific and have very little time, you pick it up, pay for it immediately, and then leave.
W: That's true. Maybe we should learn a lesson from that. Take your time end you'll spend less money.
M: I doubt if that would be true in all stores though. In a department store, for instance, you may see a sweater or some thing you never intend to buy, and buy it because you have time to look around.
