听力原文: American women are used to being independent. They are used to going places by themselves, earning their own money, and often living alone. Sometimes they will ask men for help, but they usually don't want to be protected. Since the women's movement started, it's not always clear whether women expect men to open doors or help them into their coats. American women may start conversations with men or even ask them to dance.
There are a lot of Americans who don't smoke or drink, and many who don't want people to do those things in their houses. It's always best to ask before you bring alcohol to a dinner or be fore you light up a cigarette, if you're with people you don't know very well. Nonsmokers have become more militant about smoking in public places. Many restaurants, for instance, have established special sections for smokers.
House guests may bring gifts when they come to visit, and they often offer to help in some way. As a guest, you may want to ask your host or hostess if there's anything you can do to help in the kitchen. In many cases, the gesture is more important than actual helping. You may also want to take your friends out to dinner at the end of your stay, but it's not expected for you to do so

SECTION B PASSAGES
Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文: The sum total of our knowledge is very small compared to the size of our ignorance. Every advance on the frontier of knowledge opens up a great vista of the unknown. The scientist is not happy except when he finds something new. Science is an incomplete task just as life is incomplete. He can only be happy because he has the opportunity to continue the search. Fulfillment can never be there so long as knowledge is imperfect.
The search for truth is not a peaceful occupation. The happiest people I have known have not been the men of great worldly achievements or wealth. They have been the simple people who are happily married, enjoying good health and good family life.
I do not think we search for the stars or moon because we make up our minds to do so, but because we can't help ourselves. Imagination is not an attribute of happiness. A person can be very happy when he knows nothing:
While it is true you can get happiness, peace and serenity from being at the lower end of the ladder; it is also true that you cannot enjoy the ecstasy of achievement. Success in the general sense of the term means the opportunity to experience and to realize to the maximum the forces that are within us.
In the author's opinion, why do we search the stars or moon?
A.Because we have made up our mind to do so.
B.Because we want to fulfil our desire for knowledge.
C.Because we want to enjoy the ecstasy of achievement.
D.Because we cannot help ourselves.

听力原文: As you know, there are too many students today who is trying to crack the puzzle of career success, do all the right things, like going to the right school, studying the right things and getting the right grades. To some extent, every student in this room is doing that.
I want you to promise yourself that, after tonight, you'll spend a little more time being selfish. Because if there isn't some "me" time in the equation, you won't be successful.
The other thing you have to do to succeed in meeting your career goals is to be prepared for a lifetime of learning. You could not think that your education is finished once you get your degree (or degrees), even if your degree is from a good school like the University of Minnesota.
This learning can involve formal training: participation in teams or task forces or new assignments. Companies today cannot be competitive in the global marketplace, unless all their people renew their old skills and develop new ones.
You need to be willing to leave your comfort zone. As Alvin Toffler said, "The illiterate of the future are not those who cannot read or write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn."
The speaker tells the students that they are not likely to succeed if they
A.are too selfish.
B.do everything as others do.
C.are not greedy enough.
D.don't get a right degree.
