听力原文： We know that we have to pay for what we get. If we buy food, we know there will be a bill to pay. These are private bills. But there are also public bills that must be paid. Public bills are paid by the government. In turn we get these services through taxes. What would happen if everyone in the city stopped paying taxes？ The water supply would stop; water might become unclean and impure. The streets might notbe cleaned. There would be no police force to protect .people and property. Schools would be closed. People would become sick and diseases might spread. We should not want to live in such a city. We all want pure water and food, clean streets and good schools. We want the police to prevent crime. The chief duty for every government is to protect persons and property. More than three quarters of the money spent by our government is used for this purpose. The next largest amount of public money goes to teach and train our citizens. Billions of dollars each year are spent on schools and libraries. Public money is used to pay the teachers and all the public officials. A large number of public funds are also spent on roads.
The greatest part of necessary funds is raised by taxes. A tax is money that we all must pay to support the government. The law orders us to pay taxes. We have no choice in the matter. Almost everyone pays some taxes in one form. or another.

A．Improved living conditions.B．New ways to help people get over diseases.C．Many invent
听力原文： There have been many great inventions, things that change the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today--the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.
For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People did not have to explore much any more, They began to work instead to make life better.
In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part of our fife today.
The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live longer lives. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60.
By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire to explore again. The world was known to man, but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.

听力原文：W: This food is terrible. I can't even finish my dinner.
M: I know. You think with all the money we pay for room and board, the university could hire a better food service. Where are you headed next？
W: I'm going over to the student recreation center to play some bridge.
M: You are spending your time on a card game？
W: Not just any card game. It's one of the most strategic there is.
M: So I've heard. Don't you play with a partner？
W: Yeah. Four people play, two against the other two.
M: So you try to play in cooperation with your partner.
W: Actually, the cards of one of the four players are turned face up. That player is called the dummy.
M: I wouldn't want to be called that. When you are the dummy what do you do while the cards are being played？
W: Anything you want. Sit there and study, shuffle another deck, get snacks for everyone. I like to stand behind my partner and watch.
M: You know. I've heard that bridge is habit funning. You should be careful not to play so much that you don't get your studying done.
W: Don't worry about me. I only play Thursdays after dinner, and sometimes when they need a fourth player. If you like, I could teach you.
M: Thanks. But I have a pretty heavy workload this semester. I have to spend my evenings studying. I don't really know how to do it yet.
