听力原文: Before the Indians had horses, they used a "surround hunt," or drive, to get game. The Hopi, for example, hunted antelope in this way. They chose a place partly fenced in by hills and with trees nearby. There they built a corral of strong trees trunks with one opening. From this, long wings let out, fenced with brush for some distances. Men stood along these wings to scare the antelope so that they would not try to leap the brush but would gallop down the open space into the corral. When a herd was nearby, the boys of the village were sent to round them up. They got behind the animals, and made a fire to frighten them. Then the boys closed in around them howling like wolves to make them run towards the corral. When the antelope had entered it, the opening was closed with brash. Good marksmen could then easily shoot them as they milled around.

听力原文: Every student of American history knows that George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson were the first three Presidents of the United States, but what else do they know about these interesting men? George Washington was a quiet man. He liked to hunt and fish. He liked to give parties, and he also liked to go to bed early. His parties always ended at 9:00 p.m. After he was retired, he lived on his farm.
John Adams was a bright and serious man. He liked to study law and history. After he was retired, he returned to his home in Boston. He liked to write about politics. He wrote many famous letters to the next president, Thomas Jefferson.
Thomas Jefferson was a very talented man. In some ways he was like George Washington. He liked living on a farm, and he liked riding horses and hunting. He had other interests, too. He liked to play the violin, liked to sing, and liked speaking foreign languages. After he was retired, he returned to one of his other interests, designing the buildings for the University of Virginia.
When you are studying history, remember that the people in the books are more than names. Don't be afraid to go to the library and find out more about their qualities.

听力原文: There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece. The one most widely accepted today is based on the assumption that drama evolved from ritual. The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginning,, human beings viewed the natural forces of the world -- even the seasonal changes -- as unpredictable, and they sought through various means to control these unknown and feared powers. Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then retained and repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals. Eventually stories arose which explained or veiled the mysteries of the rites. As time passed some rituals were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, persisted and provided material for art and drama.
Those who believe that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rites contained the seed of theater because music, dance, masks, and costumes were almost always used, furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for performances and when the entire community did not participate, a clear division was usually made between the "acting area" and the "auditorium". In addition, there were performers, and, since considerable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the enactment of rites, religious leaders usually assumed that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often impersonated other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed the desired effect -- success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun -- as an actor might. Eventually such dramatic representations were separated from religious activities.
Another theory traces the theater's origin from the human interest in storytelling. According to this theory, ancient stories (about the hunt, war, or other feats) are gradually elaborated, at first through the use of impersonation, action, and dialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person. A closely related theory traces theater to those dances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations of animal movements and sounds.
Which of the following is the most widely accepted theory about the beginning of drama?
A.Drama came from seasonal changes.
B.Drama originated from ritual.
C.Drama evolved from stories.
D.Drama came from natural forces.

听力原文: Some luxury brands have always aimed exclusively at either men or women, but most are happy to promote their stores to serve both sexes. (33)Yet just as some educators believe that single-sex classrooms are better for learning, some luxury brands are finding that single-sex stores sell better. The trend of opening stores for men only took off two years ago. Now more brands are catching on.
Men can be very loyal customers, supporting their favorite brands more than women do, but they also tend to adopt a hunting attitude toward shopping. Men like to hunt, while women gather. (34)Men will set out on a shopping expedition with a clear, specific goal in mind, and once they've found what they want, they quickly leave the crowd. Women are content to spend hours searching, often with no clear goal. But give a man a retail environment where he feels at home--or even more comfortable than he does at home--and you'll keep him there longer, and almost certainly sell him more. Even luxury brands already strongly associated with menswear are paying more attention to their retail space, trying to create a private club environment.
The men-only concept store is likely to expand as luxury firms pursue male spending power in emerging markets, particularly in Asia. "Though things are slowly changing, traditionally the man has had the spending power in China," says Barker. (35)"And now that the rich Chinese customer isn't under pressure to hide his wealth, men are really treating themselves and visibly enjoying the fruits of their success."
