M: How about if we go to the coast？ It would be great to do some swimming and surfing. W: The coast would be good, but let's look at our other options. There are the mountains. They're nice and cool at this time of year. And we can do some bush-walking. There's also the desert, which I really enjoyed last year. M: What about going to Sydney？ I've never been there and they say it's a great city to visit. Lots of things to do there, I've heard.

W: Thank you. M: Meyers, how do you describe your film？ Are you satisfied with it？ W: Well, I am happy to see it top the U.S. weekend box office. Have you seen the film？ Ha, it tells the story of Nick Marshall, a Chicago advertising executive. He acquires the power to read women's minds, not just what they say but also what he hears them think. That's amazing, isn't it？ I like the way Gibson interprets his role. M: Yeah, Marshall regards himself as a gift to women. I saw the movie. Then why do you choose Mel Gibson？ We know, audiences usually see him playing a man with a strong typical man side, such as in his previous action movies like “Brave Heart”, while “What Women Want” is what you termed as an old-fashioned romantic comedy. W: You are right．That's precisely why I choose him. Gibson has been known as a joker on the set and a fan of silly comedy, but has not done many romantic comedies. I just want him to display his“feminine”potential in“What Women Want”. And I am grateful to see that he has done a good job. M: What do you want audiences to learn from this film？ W: About Women. We should learn about women. They are individuals. What they appreciate is when you make the effort, even if you are not quite getting something they say. (23) A．Movie on Display. B．Movie on the Show. C．Best-selling Movie. D．Shining Movie Stars.

W: Thank you. M: Well, we hear it a lot in the news these days: "Recycle newspapers and save a tree. Collect bottles and cans so they can be reused in the manufacturing of new products." But how to promote the recycling movement？ Can you give us some suggestions？ W: I think there are three essential keys. M: What is the first one？ W: The first key is to have a more informed public, that is, to raise public awareness about the recycling process, to explain the kinds of materials that can be recycled, and provide ways on how to properly dispose of them. Local governments should educate the public on how to properly sort reusable materials from those, like waxed paper, carbon paper, plastic material such as fast food wrappers, that can't be recycled very easily. M: Then what is the second key？ W: The second is the development of improved technology. Technological progress has been made on many fronts, but governmental agencies need to step up their support for companies involved in recycling by providing tax incentives, low-cost loans, or even grants to upgrade equipment and to encourage further research. M: So what about the third essential key？ W: The final key is to develop a greater demand for recycled materials. This means increasing demand for the growing surplus of resources waiting to be recycled. M: Recycling is a crucial link protecting our planet. The three keys Mrs. Green mentioned are important ways to achieve this end. Thanks for joining us, Mrs. Green. W: You're welcome. (23) A．Keys to paper recycling. B．Importance of recycling. C．Keys to recycling improvement. D．Technological progress in recycling.

W: Sure. Weren't you in class on Monday？ That's when it was given out. M: No, I missed that class. Was there a handout？ W: No, the instructor just wrote the assignment on the board. M: Could I copy the assignment from your notes？ W: You could, ff I had copied it all down; but I just wrote down the part that I wanted. M: Oh, no. W: You see, there were four choices of topics ior the term paper; but, when I saw them, I knew which one I wanted so I didn't copy the others down. M: Can you remember any o'f the others？ W: Let's see. There was one about World War I, something about it, but I don't remember what, and there was one called "the idea of progress in the nineteenth century." M: And what was the last one？ W: I can't remember. My mind is a complete blank. Maybe you can ask someone else. M: Yes, I will. Anyway, those are certainly broad topics. W: Yes, but you van focus on a special area within them. Which one would you take？ M: Of course, I don't know what the last one is, but of these three, I think I'd take "the idea of progress." W: That's very abstract. M: Yes, but it's one of my interests and I've read a lot on the subject. I've never written a term paper on it though. W: Me neither. I haven't even read about it. Are you going to class on Wednesday？ M: Yes. W: Maybe he'll write it on the board again. M: I hope so. Good luck with your paper. W: Same to you. (23) A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six.

Sweeping aside the doubts that many people feel about the benefits of new third generation phones and fears over the health effects of phone masts(天线竿),a recent report clains that the long-term effects of new mobile technologies will be entirely positive so long as the public can be convinced to make use of them.Research about users of mobile phones reveals that the mobile has already moved beyond being a mere practical communications tool to become the backbone (支柱)of modern social life,from love affairs to friendship to work.One female teacher,32,told the researchers:“I love my phone.It’s my friend.” The close relationship between user and phone is most pronounced among teenagers,the report says,who regard their mobiles as an expression of their identity.This is partly because mobiles are seen as being beyond the control of parents.But the researchers suggest that another reason may be that mobiles,especially taxt messaging,are seen as a way of overcoming shyness.“Texting is often used for apologies,to excuse lateness or to communicate other things that make us uncomfortable,”the report says,The impact of phones,however,has been local rather than global,supporting existing friendships and networks,rather than opening users to a new broader community.Even the language of texting in one area can be incomprehensible to anybody from another area. Among the most important benefits of using mobile phones,the report claims,will be a vastly improved mobile infrastructure(基础设施),providing gains throughout the economy,and the provision of a more sophisticated location-based services for users.The report calls on govemment to put more effort into the delivery of services by bobile phone,with suggestions including public transport and traffic information and doctors’ text messages to remind patients of appointments.“I love that idea,”one user said in an interview.“It would mean I wouldn’t have to write a hundred messages to myself.” There are many other possibilities.At a recent trade fair in Sweden,a mobile navigation product was launched.When the user enters a destination,a route is automatically downloaded to their mobile and presented by voice,pictures and maps as they drive.In future,these devices will also be able to plan around congestion(交通堵塞)and road works in real time.Third generation phones will also allow for remote monitoring of patients by doctors.In Britain scientists are developing a asthma(哮喘)management solution,using mobiles to detect early signs of an attack. 第11题：What does the writer suggest in the first paragraph about our attitudes to mobile phones？ A．We can’t live without them. B．We are worried about using them so much. C．We have contradictory feelings about them. D．We need them more than anything else to deal with modem life.

In passive sleep the body is at rest. We move very little. And the brain becomes very inactive, ff a person continues to sleep, she or he enters anew period, a more active period. The body goes through several changes: the brain temperature rises, blood in the brain increases, the body becomes very still and the brain goes into active state. And as the brain goes active, the eyes begin to move rapidly. And that is the sign of another change---the person is dreaming. Throughout the night, people alternate between passive and active sleep. Doctors have studied the sleep cycle and have found that everyone dreams---in fact, that everyone needs to dream in order to stay healthy. It appears we need both kind of sleep. We need passive sleep in order to rest our bodies. We need active sleep in order to dream. And dreaming helps us to rest our minds, What does not happen in the brain in the active sleep？ A．The brain becomes very active. B．The brain becomes very inactive. C．The brain temperature rises.
