听力原文: Good afternoon, every one! I wonder if you know that Americans have always had great faith in education. They believe that all citizens must have s6me education in order to understand economic and political matters and to vote wisely. They also believe that education is essential to social progress. The public schools of the United States are not controlled by the national government nor by church authorities but by the local communities themselves, with state laws setting educational standards and ruling on compulsory attendance. By 1970, seventy-five per- cent were graduating from high school and forty five percent were beginning college or other advanced study. With so much of the population attending school, education is made various in form, to meet the students' various needs. Students are also allowed a choice of subjects. Methods of teaching vary widely, too. American schools are equipped with a large variety of learning aids.

听力原文: Today it is perfectly natural for us to shake hands when we greet someone, or say goodbye. But like so many other things we do without thinking such actions at one time probably symbolized something else.
For example, in primitive life the hand was probably a symbol of power and strength. The hand was used to fight enemies, kill animals and make spears and implements. So when the hand was extended to someone, it could have represented good will, since it showed that the person was not armed or ready to fight.
We know that the hand was an important symbol in early religion, probably as a mark of power. The Greeks prayed to their gods with raised hands. Presenting hands palm to palm was at one time the way an inferior person paid respect to a superior.
Among the Arabs, it was customary at one time to kiss the hand of a superior. Later on, polite Arabs began to resist the efforts of people to kiss their hands, and some- times they would end up clasping hands as each tried to prevent the other from showing this mark of "inferiority".
The early Greeks held out the right hand when they wished to indicate friendship to a stranger. The hand and what was done with it have been full of meaning to people down through the ages. And while we shake hands, we are really carrying on a custom that has been handed down to us from ancient times.
