听力原文: The most common type of child abuse you know is beating with the hands or with an instrument usually a cane in some places. Nearly a third of the abused children we see are in the age group between six and ten, and about sixty-five percent of them are boys. This is the age group when children are first to expect to study hard and parents have great expectations of their progresses in school.
Boys of course attract more abuse such as beating because once again parental expectations are high, and boys tend to be more energetic and difficult to control than girls. Most experts seem to agree that the child abuse is caused by a combination of social and psychological factors. Families who beat their children are not particularly different from other people.
The only difference that exists between them is that they lack skills in the establishing good relationships with their children. These families too, generally speaking, have other problems such as marriage problems or financial problems. Some parents are hurting their children because they strongly believe in the use of traditional discipline methods. But many of them have emotional problems. They are often the victims of violence themselves. Sometimes they even bear an unreasonable hatred for a child because they believe that the child has brought the thmily bad luck.
According to the passage, when are children first expected to study hard?

A. Before 6 years of age.
Between 6 and 10.
C. After l0 years of age.
D. After 12 years of age.

听力原文: I am going to work in a totally new environment. I'll have to get used to different working conditions. I am used to working in quite high-tech sort of industry that has got lots of machinery and everything. But now I am going to a place that has no machinery as such, apart from a typewriter. The place has no electricity at all, no photocopiers, all the things that you just take for granted here. They just won't be there any more.
I'll be staying near the school in quite a small village. And I will be staying in a teacher's house, living with two or three other volunteer teachers. I'll have to get used to not having the variety of different foods that you have here like twenty different varieties of breakfast serial. And the range of food there is much smaller, not many choices. I'll also have to get used to getting water from a well, not having electricity which means gas lamps in the evening; which means the difficulty of preparing for the next day's lessons in poor light; which means different ways of getting your clothes washed. There will be all sorts of big differences like that, but I'll have to get used to when I arrive there.

听力原文: If you're in a western country, you often see people walking their dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful animal in the world. However the reason why one keeps the dog has changed. Once upon a time, a man met a dog and wanted it to help him in the fight against the other animals. And the dog listened to him and did what he told him to do. Later people used dogs for hunting other animals. And dogs did not eat what they got until their masters agreed.
Dogs were also used for driving sheep and guarding chickens. But now people in towns and cities do not need dogs to fight other animals any more. Of course, they keep them to frighten thieves. But the most important reason for keeping dogs is that they feel lonely in the city. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with; for a young wife, a dog is her child when she does not have her own; for old people, a dog is also a child when their real children have grown up and left. Now people do not have to use a dog, but they keep it as a friend, just like a member of the family.
In the old days dogs were used for the following EXCEPT ______.

A. hunting other animals.
B. driving sheep.
C. guarding chickens.
D. keeping thieves away.
