听力原文： Many university students dislike history because there is little to get excited about when historical events are presented in a boring manner. However, I'll never forget my American History Professor, Dr, Williamson. Each event leaped from the pages of our text and became as real as the daily news report on the radio. My favorite lecture concerned the American Revolution. Dr. Williamson set the mood for the story by imitating Paul Revere, a well-known silver-smith, working in his shop. The American colonists were angry because of the British control over their lives. Revere felt that war between the British and the colonists was going to happen immediately. Then, Dr. Williamson told us about Revere rowing across the Charles River from Boston on April 18, 1775. I can see the professor now as he raised his hand to his forehead as if he were looking across the Charles River to the Old North Church in Boston. Suddenly, Revere spotted two lanterns, a signal which meant that the British would attack by sea. He jumped on his horse to warm the villages of the attack. Professor Williamson reminded us that the first battles of the American Revolution were fought at Concord and at Lexington, Massachusetts, the year before the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. Never before had history seemed so alive to me. And all because a professor cared enough to put his heart into his teaching.

听力原文： During the past decade there has been a multifold increase in violent crimes throughout the world. Not only has there been a frightening increase of murders and rapes, but chanced of being attacked and robbed have grown so that the elderly avoid leaving their apartments.
The exact cause of this horrifying development has not been found. Some sociologists feel that the growth of crime on TV is related with the growth of violence on our streets. Others blame the constant threat of complete destruction from nuclear explosives. If the world is going robe blown up, why not enjoy yourself fully!
Regardless of the cause, a fundamental change in attitude among people is easy to see. Years back, the old saying" Practice what you preach" was a prevalent one. People had moral standards that they could follow: people were concerned about their fellow human beings.
Today, people have become "I-centred". They are more interested in achieving immediate, selfish pleasures. The best advice they can give in the rare instances when they do is "Do what I say, not what I do" They are saying, "There are moral principles to follow if you want to, but don't use me as a guide since I no longer follow them."
The major difference that I see in the quotations points out the tragic change in our morality and social ways. Until people once more learn to practice "I" with "me", we shall continue to move toward destructive self-centeredness.

听力原文： A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy. Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a house, so they have to borrow money from a bank. Borrowing money from a bank to buy a house is called" taking a mortgage. "The bank usually lends money or gives a mortgage for twenty- five years. This means that the person who borrows has twenty-five years to pay back the money. The bank lends this money with interest, and the borrower makes equal monthly payments to the bank until he has paid the mortgage. Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as $ 50,000. In other words, they will have a $ 50,000 mortgage.
How can you get a mortgage？ When you find a house you like, you go to a bank, sometimes it is necessary to go to a few banks, before applying for a mortgage at once. The bank will investigate Your financial history' and decide if they think you are a good risk. They will want to know what type of job you have, what kind of salary you make, and how long you have had the job. They will also want to know how much money you have. In addition, the banks will require a down payment. Depending on which state you live in, the bank may require as much as 30% of the price of the house as a down payment. The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to hay the house. Many people are never able to buy a house because they cannot save enough money for the down payment.
