听力原文: About 70 million Americans are trying to lose weight. That is almost 1 out of every 3 people in the United States. Some people go on diets. This means they eat less of certain foods, especially fats and sugars. Other people exercise with special equipment, take diet pills, or even have surgery. Losing weight is hard work, and it can also cost a lot of money. But why do so many people in the United States want to lose weight?
Many people in the United States worry about not looking young and attractive. For many people, looking good also means being thin. Other people worry about their health. Many doctors say being overweight is not healthy. But are Americans really fat?
Almost 30 million Americans weigh at least 20 percent more than their ideal weight. In fact, the United States is the most overweight country in the world. "The stored fat of adult Americans weighs 2.3 trillion pounds," says University of Massachusetts anthropologist George Armelages. He says burning off that stored energy would produce enough power for 900,000 cars to go 12,000 miles.
Losing weight is hard work, but most people want to find a fast and easy way to take off fat. Bookstores sell lots of diet books. These books tell readers how to lose weight. Each year, dozens of new books like these are written. Each one promises to get rid of fat.

听力原文:M: It's good to see you back. How was your trip to Arizona? Did you see tile Great Valley?
W: Yes, it was fantastic. Now I know why it is listed together with the Nile river as one of the great natural wonders of the world. Here, want to see the picture I took?
M: Oh, what a view! It is even bigger than I had imagined. I remember reading about the Great Valley and I think it said that it was formed suddenly when an earthquake took place.
W: Well, not that quickly. Look, the river has been wearing the valley floor away for ten million years.
M: Then the valley is the result of soil changes. I'll bet geologists have made some interesting discoveries there.
W: Not only the geologists, archaeologists have also found the bones of extinct animals in caves in the valley walls, ha a cave one hundred and forty feet 'about the river, they found driftwood that dated back as far as thirty seven thousand years.
M: That means the river must have been a hundred and forty feet higher up when it carried the driftwood into the cave.
