听力原文： Vitamins are essential to life. Today there are many kinds of vitamins. A deficiency in many of these can lead to illness. (1) Vitamin A is most important for good eyesight. But it is also important for general good health. Liver contains a large amount of vitamin A, but vitamin A is also found in fish, meat, milk,

butter, and in some fruits and vegetables. Vitamin B in fact consists of twelve different chemicals, which are found in eggs, cheese, butter, meal flour and vegetables. If a person does not have enough vitamin B in his diet, it may affect his whole body, particularly the skin, the nervous system and the heart.

听力原文： People over the age of 65 in the USA are called senior citizens. Life for these people is different from that for younger Americans. Most senior citizens retire, or no longer work full time. Also it is unusual for people of this age to live with their children and grandchildren. For many senior citizens, the year after 65 is not enjoyable. (5) They feel unproductive when they no longer work. They live losing meaning. In addition, they may feel lonely being away from their families and the contacts they had in their work. Moreover, they become more concerned with their health as they grow older. If they live in big cities, they often worry about their safety. Other senior citizens enjoy their lives. They feel free to do things they were not able to do when they were working and raising families. The number of senior citizens in the U.S. is increasing rapidly because people are living longer than before. (6) Because of their large numbers and more active life styles, senior citizens are gaining social influence in the country, both politically and economically. Their concerns are receiving a wider audience than ever before. The time may come when all Americans will look forward to becoming senior citizens.4.

听力原文： Americans usually consider themselves a friendly people. Their friendships, however, tend to be shorter and more casual than friendships among people from other cultures. It’s not uncommon for Americans to have only one close friend during their lifetime. They tend to divide friendships, having “friends at work”, “friends on the softball team”, “family friends” and so on. (8) Because the United States is a highly active society, full of movement and change, people always seem to be on the go. In this highly changed atmosphere, Americans can sometimes seem impolite or impatient. They want to get to know you as quickly as possible and then move on to something else. Sometimes, at first, they will ask you questions that you feel very personal. (9) No result is intended; the questions usually grow out of their real interest or curiosity, and their impatience to get to the heart of the matter. And the same goes for you. If you do not understand certain American behaviors or you want to know more about them, do not hesitate to ask them questions about themselves. Americans are usually eager to explain all about their country or anything “American” in which you may be interested. So much that you may become tired of listening. It doesn’t matter, because Americans tend to be uncomfortable with silence during conversation. They would rather talk about the weather or the latest sports scores that deal with silence. On the other hand, do not expect Americans to be knowledgeable about international geography or world affairs, unless those subjects directly involve the United States. (10) Because the United States is not surrounded by many other nations, some Americans tend to ignore the rest of the world.7. What is the main topic of this passage?8. What is one of the characteristics of Americans?9. What can we infer about Americans from this passage?10. Why do Americans tend to ignore the rest of the world?
