听力原文: Up to now, we have focused on the positive impact of the automobile on society in the United States. Today we'll look at some of the negative effects. A number of sociologists blame the automobiles for the decline of the downtown areas of the major cities. In 1950s and 1960s, the automobile made it possible to work in the cities and yet live in the suburbs many miles away. Shopping patterns changed, and instead of patronizing downtown stores, people in the suburbs went to large shopping malls built in open areas outside the city where everything was cheaper. Merchants in the city failed, and stores closed. Downtown shopping areas became deserted. In recent years, there has been a rebirth in a number of downtown areas, as suburbanites, especially young married couples, have moved into the city to avoid roads covered with the traffic between the suburbs and the cities every morning and evening. Now let's look at some slides that illustrate these trends. By the way, tomorrow I'll explain the effect of all these automobiles on the environment. For example, what happens to the atmosphere as a result of burning of gasoline and the depletion of natural resources like fossil fuels?

Affluenza
For many people, economic growth and an increase in possessions are signs of progress, but for anti-consumer groups overconsumption and materialism are sicknesses. A recent Public Broadcasting Service corned the term affluenza, which describes consumption of material goods in a strongly negative way.
Af-flu-en-za (noun) combines two words: affluence and fluenza. According to anti-consumer and environmental fights organizations, the high consumption life styles of affluence cause people to be less happy even though they are acquiring more "things". The major negative effect on the environment is that overconsumption is depleting the world's natural resources, anti-consumer groups argue. Furthermore, the groups observe that an artificial, ongoing and insatiable quest for things and the money to buy them has replaced the normal desire for an adequate supply of life's necessities, community life, a stable family, and healthy relationships. For example, today's families are replacing items much more frequently than in the past. Many Americans now treat clothing as "disposable", discarding clothes when fashion changes, and creating a boom in thrift stores, and yard sales. The U.S.A.'s largest export is now used clothes. About 2.5 million tons of unfashionable old clothes and rags are sold to Third World countries every year.

C.is made in the way coins are produced
D.gives an old world a new meaning
What is the topic of the news item?

In Kings Canyon National Park in North America, there once was a cedar tree called "Mark Twain Tree." It was 1341 years old when it was cut down in 1891. The tree began to grow from its seed in the year of 550 A.D. and was witness to many of the major events in our history. The tree was immeasurably giant and strong, yet one of its sections is now exhibited in the American Museum of Natural History. How would you describe the tree if you actually saw it? Imagine seeing the tree, how would it provoke your thoughts on the relationship between nature and human society? Please write a 250-word short essay to decribe your senses and thoughts on the "Mark Twain Tree.”
The moment a new car is driven away from the showroom,its value will drop as much as 12 percent. This is what is __3__known as depreciation and is the largest single cost to the buyer of a new vehicle. Depreciation is the highest in the __4__first two years of a vehicle's life: at the end of that period a car could be worth just the third of its brand new price. __5__Although the rate of depreciation decreases as time goes by, it remains a major cost factor, as around 85 percent
of company vehicles are brought brandly new. __6__However, it is important to know that some cars depreciate much more than others——regardless of price. This is often __7__to do with rarity and prestige value. The more common the car, the more quickly, in general, it loses vaule. Exported __8__models, which are restricted in number, can hold their value better than those are produced domestically and widely available. __9__In the same way, depreciation on a new model of a particular make may be low for the first few years after their launch. __10__This happened when diesel cars were first introduced. They depreciated more slowly when they were rarely seen; now that they are relatively common, this is no longer true.

M: What are you studying now?
W: I am taking three general courses and American history and American literature this semester. Last semester I took four requirements and freshman French.
M: I believe it's not too late to change your major because you've mainly taken general requirements which all freshmen have to take. Also we have twelve electives so the two literature courses will be included in them, so you can change your major without losing any credit hours.
W: I am very happy to know I am still able to change my major. I am interested in writing newspaper articles, and after finishing my degree I would like to work for some newspaper firm.
M: Oh, I think you will be a good writer.
W: Dr. Steven, when do students start practical training?
