听力原文: Until the twentieth century cigarettes were not an important threat to public health. Since the cigarette industry began in the 1870s, however, cigarette manufacturing machines have developed rapidly. This made it possible to produce great numbers of cigarettes very quickly, and it reduced the price.
Today, cigarette smoking is a widespread habit. About forty-three percent of the men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is encouraging to note, however, that millions of people have given up the smoking habit.
Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a person's smoking habits. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high income are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower income. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a high income smokes at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day. The situation is somewhat different for women. There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family income and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.

听力原文:M: Hi, Kate.
W: Hi, Peter. How have you been?
M: Oh, OK, I guess. And you?
W: Not too bad. We haven't seen each other for a while, have we?
M: No, we haven't. So that makes me ask...Do you have any plans for this Saturday?
W: No, not yet, I don't think so. Why?
M: What do you think about getting together and going out to dinner this weekend?
W: That would be great. Do you have any particular place in mind?
M: Well, I think I'd like to eat something that's not too heavy. I've been eating a little too much lately.
W: Me too.
M: I love Italian food, but maybe we should skip that this time. They always scem to setwe so much food in Italian restaurants, and you end up eating more than you wanted to.
W: Chinese food would be good. Do you think so?
M: Yes. Or maybe some Japanese sushi. That style. uses a lot of natural flavors, and not nmch oil of cream or heavy sauces.
W: Yes, either of those choices would be good. Let's just meet on Saturday night, and decide then where to eat.
M: What time shall we meet, then?
