Tests Show Women Suited for Space Travel
Between 1977 and 1981, three groups of American women, numbering 27 in all, between the age of 35 and 65, were given month-long tests for space travel purposes.(1)
Those women were carefully selected from among many applicants.(2)They were not allowed to smoke or drink alcohol during the tests, and they were expected to tolerate each other's company at close quarters for the entire period. Among others things they had to stand pressure three times the force of gravity and carry out both physical and mental tasks while exhausted from strenuous physical exercise.(3)During that time they suffered backaches and other discomforts.(4)
Resuks of the tests suggest that wmen will have significant advantage over men in space.(5)Men's advantages in terms of strength and stamina, meanwhile, are virtually wiped: out by the zero gravity condition in space.
A. At the end of ten years, they had to spend a further twenty days absolutely confined to bed.
B. They were volunteers and were paid barely above the minimum wage.
C. These tests were conducted to determine how they would respond to conditions resembling those abroad the space shuttle.
D. They need less food and less oxygen and they stand up to radiation better.
E. Some of them were over 65.

听力原文:W: Why are you leaving Burchester, John?
M: To make more money.
W: You have a good pub here.
M: The trade's better in Haworth, the home of the Bronte sisters. It is an important tourist centre.
W: Have you ever read any Bronte novels?
M: No, the stories seem to have more appeal for women than men. My wife loves the Bronte novels, and she thinks it is marvellous that we're going to Haworth.
W: What is the name of the pub?
M: Halfway House--it is halfway up the hill leading to Haworth.
W: What sort of customers do you hope to get?
M: People come to Haworth from all over the world. My wife will enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere, and so will I.
W: A lot of Americans, I suppose.
M: A lot. The hill leading to the village is steep, so I hope they will stop halfway up for a drink.
W: The Americans will want to go up the hill by car or taxi.
M: Not all of them. Admirers don't ride in taxis. They'll be prepared to tackle the hill on foot, and suffer a bit.
W: It sounds like a pub for women.
M: Oh, no. They'll bring their husbands with them.

听力原文:W: Hey, Jake, rise and shine.
M: What time is it, Shelly? I have no idea how long I've been here.
W: Hmm... the library is too quiet. You need a place that's nice and noisy to study.
M: You've got a point. I always mean to study hard but I quickly nod off. It's just too quiet here.
W: Maybe you were thinking of Professor Carlson's psychology lesson. That's as good as a sleeping pill.
M: Yeah, nice guy, but he just can't seem to come down to earth. The whole time he seemed to be talking to himself.
W: You should have been in my history class with Professor Rivers. What a trip! One student got up and challenged him to name six women who contributed to the American Revolution. He was speechless.
M: The class must have been buzzing.
W: Especially when the student started rattling off over a dozen names. She was no fool and she wasn't going to let him off the hook.
M: Seems she gave Professor Rivers a good lecture.
W: Yeah, although I felt she should have given him a chance to save some face. After all I doubt whether many people can name even one.
M: That's true. I sure can't.
W: Jake, Jake. You should attend Professor Anderson's class on women's studies.

SECTION B INTERVIEW
Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. Questions 1 to 5 are based on an interview. At the end of the interview you will be given 10 seconds to answer each of the following five questions.
Now listen to the interview.
听力原文:W: Hello Fred. You don't look so good. What's the matter?
M: I just didn't have a good sleep. It seemed I dreamed all night. Do you dream a lot when you sleep?
W: Yes. In fact everybody dreams. And everyone needs to dream in order to stay healthy. There are two kinds of sleep, active sleep and passive sleep. The passive sleep gives our body the rest that is needed, and prepares us for active sleep in which dreaming occurs. The dream stage is very important in our sleep cycle. When the person is dreaming, the eyes begin to move. Through the night, people alternate between passive and active sleep. The cycle is repeated several times through out the night.
M: Do you know how long people usually dream during eight-hour's sleep?
W: For about one and a half hours on average. So we need active sleep because dreaming helps us rest our minds.
M: I see. All people experience dream cycles.
W: Can you remember dreams? What did you dream last night?
M: Oh yes. It was terrible. I dreamed that I was chased by someone or something. I don't remember very well. So I was running all the time.
W: This is a very common type of dream. Over 70% of people have dreamed that they were being chased or pursued by something, and often in the dream they find themselves unable to flee for one reason or another. These often occur during periods of great anxiety and may be related to frustrating situations which are frequently occurring in their waking life. Anxiety dreams are amongst the most common types reported and are particularly common amongst women (78% ). Only 63% of men experience them.
M: How about dreams of violence?
W: Dreams featuring scenes of violence are more common amongst men (50%) than amongst women (44%). The differences are not very great. Perhaps men are simply more likely to talk about violent things and it must be remembered that men are often the most ardent fans of TV westerns and wrestling programmes.
M: Are there any more kinds of dreams that men experience more than women?
W: Yes. When people are tight in finances, they often have dreams which involve finding coins showering from a slot machine or picking up money from the ground, About a quarter of men have had this kind of dream, but only 15% of women. This probably relates to the fact that money matters are more likely to preoccupy the male that the female.
M: Do you sometimes have dreams about falling?
W: Yes. It is common type of dream too. Dreams about falling are very common with about 75% soaring average. The most frequently reported is one in which typically one trips over something, stumbles of falls and wakes up with a jump.
M: How do you explain this?
W: Psychologists now believe that these dreams do not have any great emotional significance, but are merely due to muscular spasms which take place on the threshold between consciousness and sleep. Well, dreams about flying or floating in the air are often considered to be related to an unconscious wish to escape from something. They are in fact reported by about 50% of dreamers. Dreams about the sea are also common. Women (40%) are far more likely to experience than men(27%).
M: What other kinds of dreams do women experience more than men?
W: Dreams about famous people. Women are more likely to dream about famous people, politicians, pop stars and the like (33%) than men (27%). One very common dream, which almost certainly falls into the wish fulfillment category, is when people report that they are actually meeting famous people in their dreams.
M: What do you think of recurring dreams?
W: Recurring dreams are very com
A.During passive sleep.
B.During active sleep
C.Between passive sleep and active sleep
D.After active sleep.
