听力原文:W: Hello?
M: Hi, Mary, this is Bill Johnson.
W: Oh hi, Bill. You weren't in engineering class today, were you?
M: I have the flu. I was wondering if you could tell me what went on.
W: Actually we had an interesting class. Dr. Kelvin talked about a new type of fuel.
M: Oh, yeah?
W: Uh-hum. It's called dimethylether or DME.
M: Oh, I remember reading something about DME, but I don't remember the chemical terminology. It's mostly used in spray cans, right?
W: Right. DME doesn't destroy the ozone, so it's been environmentally friendly.
M: But doesn't DME pollute the air if it's burned in an engine?
W: Dr. Kelvin said something about its exhausts being clear, that it doesn't release as much pollutants as diesel fuel. And he mentioned something about DME being more efficient than other alternative fuels.
M: When can it replace diesel fuel?
W: Not for a while. It's not economical to mass-produce.
M: Well, thanks for the information. I guess I won't need to borrow your notes.
W: Well, maybe you should look at them. We are having a test next week.
M: Okay, could you give them to Bill Stanford? I think he is in your psychology class. He is my roommate.

听力原文: "Fingers were made before forks." When a person gives up good manners, puts aside knife and fork, and dives into his food, someone is likely to repeat that saying.
The fork was an ancient agricultural tool, but for centuries no one thought of eating with it. Not until the 11th century, when a young lady from Constantinople (君士坦丁堡) brought her fork to Italy, did the custom reach Europe.
By the 15th century the use of forks was widespread in Italy. The English explanation was that Italians were averse to eating food touched with fingers, "seeing all men's fingers are not alike clean". English travelers kept their friends laughing while describing this ridiculous Italian custom.
Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years. Men who used forks were thought to be woman-like, and women who used them were called show-offs. Not until the late 1600s did using forks become a common custom.
(27)

A. To keep their food clean.
B. To imitate the people of the East.
