听力原文： In this century the traditional American family is constantly faced with the threat of breakdown. Some sociologists suggest that one little-noticed cause may be the introduction of the TV dinner.
Before the appearance of television sets, the American dinner was a big event for the family, for in many homes dinner time may he the only time when everyone got together. A typical dinner was usually in three stages. In the preparation stage, the children and father frequently helped with table setting while mother put the last touches on the roast. In the eating stage, family members shared the day's experiences and mere food was consumed. In this stage families got to know one another and made joint decisions around the dinner table, and thus the family solidarity was reinforced. In the cleaning-up stage, children or father again gave their hands, so that the significance to the home community was clear. Unfortunately, all of these have been erased by a product—the television set.
By the beginning of the 1980s, the typical American family dinner is just twenty minutes long. The speed-up of this once leisurely experience is clearly connected to the overall pace of modem life and maybe a model of the modern life is the TV dinners—meals designed to be consumed between the opening and closing credits of a half-hour program. The once family affair has now become nothing more than the use of a fork and knife.

听力原文： Around the year 1,000 A. D, some people from northwest India began to travel westward. Nobody knows why. After leaving their homes, they did not settle down again, but spent their lives moving from one place to another, and their later generations are called the Romany people, or Gypsies. There're Gypsies all over the world, and many of them are still traveling with no fixed homes. There are about 8, 000,000 of them, including 3,000,000 in Eastern Europe. Gypsies sometimes have a hard time in the countries where they travel, because they are different. People may be afraid of them, look down upon them, or think that they are criminals. The Nazis treated the Gypsies cruelly, like the Jews, and nobody knows how many of them died in Hitler's death camps. Gypsies have their own language Romany. They liked music and dancing. And they often work in fairs and traveling shows. Traveling is very important to them, and many Gypsies are unhappy if they have to stay in one place. Because of this, it is difficult for Gypsy children to go to school, and Gypsies are often unable to read and write. In some places, the education authorities tried to arrange special traveling schools for Gypsy children, so that they can get the same education as other children.

听力原文： Everyone remembers the reign of Elizabeth. She gave her name to an age, which remains in English minds as an age of glory. Most people associated it with two things. The first is literature, especially the literature of Shakespeare, for this was the age when Shakespeare lived and when English literature greatly developed. The second is adventure on the sea. For the first time, English ships began to explore the world and trade with distant countries. They soon came into conflict with the might of Spain, whose huge ships had been sailing across the sea for a hundred years and who had established a rich empire in the Americas. Spain was the greatest enemy to England at the time. Sea fights between Spanish and English ships were frequent, and the English proved to be more aggressive and more successful. Their greatest sailor was Sir Francis Drake, who led the English ships to fight against the great Spanish fleet, "the Armada", when they began to attack the heart of England. "The Armada" was defeated by the English ship. It was a lucky victory in many ways, but it marked the beginning of England as a great power at sea.
