Section B

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.

English people are always saying "please", "thank you" and" sorry". I do, too. It is a habit. Nothing more. I think we all understand it. Anyway, there is very little harm in it. On the other hand, some people can get very worried if a foreigner forgets to say" please" when he is asking for something.

Nowadays it is thought rather formal to shake hands if you are not on business. You can tell a great deal from the way people shake hands. Some people try to break your fingers. With others, it feels as if you are holding a wet fish. So the best kind of handshake is firm but gentle with a smile at the end of the arm. It is also worth remembering that people tend not to shake hands when parting nor if they have already met. Close friends or relatives may exchange a quick kiss in the check or lips when meeting or parting, but there is rarely kissing or embracing between men. Men still tend to open doors for women in public. Some girls cannot stand that, so nowadays you find more and more women open doors for men. I like opening doors for anyone, even for myself.

The most often used English words to show good manners are ______.

A．Hi, Thank you and Bye

B．Please, Thank you and OK

C．Hello, Bye and Thank you

D．Thank you, Sorry and Please

听力原文： Nowadays, there is a growth and apparent success of a specialized service, which offers help to construct resumes and to provide information to job hunters. Of course, this is a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment. It is also an indication of the growing importance of the curriculum vitae, with the suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form. in its own right.

There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application. "Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams", was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their first jobs when I left school. The letter was really just for openers, it was explained, everything else could and should be saved for the interview. And in those days of full employment the technique worked. The letter proved that you could write and were available for work. Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest.

Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated was called for. The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest. It might be the aggressive approach. "Your search is over. I am the person you are looking for", was a widely used trick that occasionally succeeded. Or it might be some special feature specially designed for the job interview.

There is no doubt, however, that it is increasing number of applicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the curriculum vitae.

听力原文： A "typical" British family used to consist of mother, father and two children, but in recent years there have been many changes in family life. Some of these have been caused by new laws and others are the result of changes in society. For example, since the law made it easier to get a divorce, the number of divorces has increased. In fact one marriage in every three now ends in divorce. This means that there are a lot of one-parent families. Society is now more tolerant than it used to be of unmarried people, un married couples and single parents.

Another change has been caused by the fact that people arc living longer nowadays, and many old people live alone following the death of their partners. As a result of these changes in the pattern of people's lives, there are many families that consist of only one person or one person and children. You might think that marriage and the families are not so popular as they once were. However, the majority of divorced people marry again, and they sometimes take responsibility for a second family.

(33)

A．High rate of divorce in Britain.

B．Generation gap in Britain.

C．Changes in family life in Britain.

D．One-parent families in Britain.
