听力原文: Many people dislike walking into the hank, standing in long lines and running out of check. They are dissatisfied with their banks' limited hours, too. They want to do some banking at night and on weekends. For such people that problem may soon be over. Before long, they may be able to do that banking from the comfort leisure home, any hour of the day, any day of the week. Many banks arc preparing online branches or Internet offices, which means people will be able to take care of much of their banking businesses through the home computers. This process is called interactive banking. At these online branches, customers will be able to view all their accounts, move money between their accounts, apply for a loan, and get current information on products such as credit card. Customers will also be able to pay those bills electronically and even email questions to the bank. Banks are creating online services for several reasons. One reason is that banks must compete for customers, who will switch to another bank if they are dissatisfied with the services they receive. The convenience of online banking appeal to the kind of customers banks most want to keep, that is, people who are young, well-educated and have good incomes. Banks also want to take advantage of modem technology since they have moved into the 21st century

听力原文: The Golden Gate Bridge joins the beautiful city of San Francisco with the suburbs to the north. Each day, about 100,000 automobiles cross the bridge taking people to and from the city. More than half of them cross the bridge during the morning and evening rush hours. With traffic so heavy, the trip is not pleasant. Now, however, there is at least one group of happy commuters. These are the people who travel under the bridge instead of on it. They go to work by boat and enjoy it so much that most of them say they will never go by car again. The ferry they take is spacious, quiet and comfortable. Commuters can enjoy the sun on deck. In the morning, they can have breakfast in the coffee shop and in the evening they can order a drink in the bar while looking at the beautiful scenery. The trip takes only thirty minutes and is not very costly. But best of all, being on the boat seems to make people feel more friendly toward each other. There has already been a marriage of two commuters who met on the ferry. Because the ferry has been so successful, there are plans to use other still larger boats. There is also a proposal for a high-speed boat that'll make the trip in only 15 minutes. But not everyone is happy about that. A lot of people feel that half an hour is just enough time to relax.
According to the speaker, how do commuters feel about crossing the Golden Gate Bridge by car?

A. They are delighted because they can enjoy the scenery while driving.
B. They are frightened because traffic accidents are frequent.
C. They are irritated because the bridge is jammed with cars.
D. They arc pleased because it saves them much time.

听力原文: How many teeth have you had failed in the past two years? If you follow the advice of Dr Forsdic, you may be able to reduce the number of your visits to dentist. Dr Forsdic conducted a two-year survey to find out how to prevent or reduce dental decay. 946 students took part in the experiment. 523 students cleaned their teeth within 10 minutes of eating. When possible, they used the tooth- brush. When this was impossible, they washed their mouth thoroughly with water. The remaining 423 students merely cleaned their teeth when they went to bed and when they got up in the morning. All the students had their teeth X-rayed at the end of the first and second years. At the end of the first year, the night-and-morning group had 3 times as many decayed teeth as the clean-after-each- meal group. At the end of the second year, the latter group had 53% fewer decayed teeth than the former group. Dr Forsdic has cleaned his teeth after every meal for 13 years and has not had a single decayed tooth. He pointed out that sugar is a major agent in dental decay. Particularly the sugar in sweets, cakes and soft drinks. Ideally, you should keep a toothbrush in your pocket and use it immediately after you have finished eating. When this is impractical, you can at least make sure that you have a drink of water and let the water through your teeth to force out any particles of food. Seven out of ten people lose at least half their teeth by the time they are 50. Many have a complete set of false teeth by that time. In any case, neither toothache nor a visit to a dentist is very pleasant. So it is worthwhile making an effort to keep your own teeth as long as possible. The main preventative agent is simply water.
According to the passage ,what type of food/drink is most likely to cause dental decay?

A. Coca Cola
B. Sausage.
C. Milk.
D. Fried chicken.
