We look forward to getting to know this city and bringing our modern fashions to the people here.

听力原文： More than 40 years ago, John Williams gave away all of his belongings and went off to the mountains to live the way people lived 100 years ago. For food he traps wild animals, fishes in the rivers, and plants whatever he can. John lives in a cabin he made by hand, out of trees he chopped down with an ax. Though he has no relatives that he knows of, he does have a deer he raised from a fawn. The deer lives in the house in the winter and goes with John when he goes into the forest mountains and John has not been out of the mountains during the entire forty years. One day last year I hiked in to see how John lives. It was like going back in time. There were no roads, no stores, no noise, no pollution, not even a post office.
Most notable of all, there were no people and that's just the way John Williams wants to keep his part of the world without people. But there is a paradox in his story. John is an educated man. He has books and nobody knows how he got them. Mostly he reads about his world, the forest, the animals, the plants, and the mountains. He has seen airplanes flying overhead but does not want to know about them. For him, electricity's lightning. John Williams is 85 years old and has not had a sick day in his life. He attributes his long life to the fact that he has nothing to do with people and in order that he might enjoy many more years of health, happiness, and solitude. I will not tell you where his kingdom lies. There is no room there for you or me.
John Williams' house is made of
A．wood.
B．bricks.
C．animal skin.
D．old stones.
听力原文：M: How do you usually keep in touch with your friends, Sally？
W: I usually give them a call or send them a short message by my cellphone. Sometimes I send them an e-mail.
M: So do I. Cellphones are the most popular means in today's communication. Forty or fifty years ago, however, letters were widely used around the world.
W: That's it. My grandfather sent 100 letters back when he studied in England from 1950 to 1952.
M: Things have changed so much! Have you seen that there is a kind of telephone which is called videophone, with which you can see the person you are talking to？
W: Yes, I have. That is wonderful.
M: This is the advantage of modern life. Don't you think so？
8. How does Sally usually keep in touch with her friends？

A．E-mails.

Forty May Be the New 30 As Scientists Redefine Age
Is 40 really the new 307 In many ways people today act younger than their parents did at the same age．
Scientists have defined a new age concept and believe it could exp，lain why populations are agin9，but at the same time seem to be getting younger．
Instead of measuring aging by how long people have lived，the scientists have factored in how many more years people can probably still look forward to．
“Using that measure。the average person can get younger in the sense that he Or she can have even more years to live as time goes on,”said Warren Sanderson of the University of New York in Stony Brook
He and Sergei Scherbor of the Vienna Institute of Demography(人口统计学)at the Austrian(奥地利的)Academy of Sciences，have used their method to estimate how the proportion of elderly people in Gerrnany，Japan and the United States will change in the future．
The average German was 39.9 years old in 2000 and could plan to live for another 39．2 years，according to research reported in the journal Nature on Wednesday．
However，by 2050 the average German will be 51．9 years old and will be expected to live another 37．1 years．So middle age in 2050 would Occurs at around 52 years instead of 40 years as in 2000．
“As people have more and more years to live they have to save more and plan more and they effectively are behaving as if they were younger，”said Sanderson．
Five years ago，the average American was 35．3 years old and could plan for 43．5 more years of life．By 2050．the researchers estimate it will increase to 41.7 years and 45.8 future years．
“A lot of our skills。our education，our savings and the way’ we deal with our health care depend a great deal on how many years we have to live。”said Sanderson．
This dimension of how many years people have to live has been completely ignored in the discussion of aging SO far．
第 31 题 People 40 years of age today seem to be as young as
A．their parents were at the same age．
B．their parents were at the age of 30．
C．their children will be at the same age．
D．their children will be at the age of 30．
