听力原文: The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricane's rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6- 12-inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea—the mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.

听力原文:Man: When did you last go to London?
Woman: Oh, I don't know really. I suppose it was about thirty, or maybe even forty years ago.
Man: As long as that? You wouldn't recognize it now.
Woman: Has it changed very much?
Man: Oh, yes! It's changed beyond belief. It's a lot bigger of course and it's been cleaned up quite a lot.
Woman: What about the fog?
Man: Oh, London doesn't have fog any more. That's all disappeared and the air has been cleaned considerably over the last thirty years or so.
Woman: Do you think I'd still recognize it?
Man: Of course you would. Parts of London haven't changed very much at all, but in other areas the change is incredible.
Woman: Is that cinema still open, the one at the comer of the street where I used to live? You remember it, the "Rex", I think.
Man: No, that was knocked down about ten years ago. It's been replaced by a large supermarket. The small park has been destroyed, too, and the road has been widened.
Woman: What a pity! That park used to be very beautiful, and peaceful, too, in the summer.
Man: Even the old grocery shop isn't there any more. It's been turned into a small restaurant.
Woman: Is the mall still there who used to deliver coal?
Man: No, unfortunately, he died five years ago, but his son still runs the business. He's doing very well with the business.
Woman: Well, that's progress! You know, I don't think I'd like to go back to London somehow.
Man: I go to London more often now than I used to, so I don't notice the changes now.
Woman: I think it's been changed too much. I want to remember it as it was.

听力原文: Men usually think the cartoon is funny. Women do not. And there's a good reason for the difference in opinion. We start finding things laughable or not laughable-early in life. And infant first smiles at approximately eight days of age. Many psychologists feel this is his first sign of simple pleasure. At six months or less, the infant laughs to express complex pleasures- such as the sight of Mother's smiling face. Psychiatrist Martin says that the earlier an infant begins to smile and laugh, the more advanced is his development. Studies revealed that children who did not develop these responses "developed some 'disease' in later life, or simply gave up and died."
