听力原文: Our environment is being polluted faster than nature and man's present efforts can prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more motor vehicles, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials.
What can explain and solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by mail-by his desire for a modern way of life. We make "increasing industrialization" our chief aim. For its sake, we are willing to sacrifice every thing: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits of modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, so pollution has be come a serious problem.
Isn't it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going and why? It reminds one of the stories about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker, "I've some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we're making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we're lost and don't know where we're going."

More people than ever are drinking coffee these days but in smaller quantities than they used to. Some manufacturers of coffee makers are trying to take advantage of this trend by developing diminutive machines that brew smaller a mounts of coffee.
Two US appliance companies—Black & Decker, based in Towson, Maryland, and Toastmaster Inc. of Columbia, Missouri—have recently introduced "drip" coffee makers that brew one or two cup servings of coffee. Both of the products brew the coffee directly into a cup or mug, eliminating the need for a separate carafe. Since many people make a pot of coffee in the morning but drink only a single cup, the new coffee makers should reduce the wasted coffee. Black & Decker's Cup at-a-time costs $27, while Toastmasters Coffee Break Retails for $20. Black & Decker also makes a coffee maker that drips coffee directly into a carry-around thermal carafe. The carafe, a glass vacuum bottle, is supposed to keep the coffee fresh for hours. The product, called the Thermal Carafe Coffee maker, comes with a built-in lid that opens during the brewing process and closes when it is completed. There are several models, including one that firs under the counter, ranging from $60 to $110 in price.

A. introduce a new trend of drinking coffee
B. introduce new coffee makers
C. introduce two U.S. appliance companies
D. introduce the new coffee industry

听力原文:M: Excuse me. Are you going to buy concert tickets?
W: Yes, I am. So are all these people in front of me.
M: Have you been here long?
W: About 45 minutes. I've moved forward a total of about 3 feet in that time.
M: You are kidding.
W: Not at all. There was a couple up ahead of me who got so disgusted they finally, gave up and left. They said they'd been waiting for more than an hour.
M: Terrific. Does anyone know what's causing the delay?
W: If so, no one has let us know. It could be that there aren't enough people selling tickets this afternoon. Or maybe their computer is down. I'm sure the concert hasn't been cancelled.
M: I just hope they don't run out of tickets before I get up there.
W: That really would be annoying, wouldn't it?
M: I guess I should have come before lunch or has it been like this all day?
W: Apparently it has. In fact, before I came I tried calling to charge my tickets over the phone, just to avoid this long wait. But they are not taking phone orders, or checks, or credit cards. It's cash or nothing, and you have to come in person.
M: Well, there are two more hours before the tickets office closes. Tickets for a good concert are worth waiting for. So I think I'll just make myself comfortable.
