听力原文: The first step to stop drug abuse is knowing why people start to use drugs. The reasons people abuse drugs are as different as people are from one another. But there seems to be one common thread: people seem to take drugs to change the way they feel. They want to feel better or to feel happy or to feel nothing. Sometimes, they want to forget or to remember. People often feel better about themselves when they are under the influence of drugs. But the effects don’t last long. Drugs don’t solve problems. They just postpone them. No matter how far drugs may take you, it’s always a round trip. After a while, people who misuse drugs may feel worse about themselves, and then they will use more and more drugs. If someone you know is using or abusing drugs, you can help. The most important part you can play is to be there. You can let your friends know that you care. You can listen and try to solve the problem behind your friend’s need to use drugs. Two people together can often solve a problem that seems too big for one person alone. Studies of heavy drug users in the United States show that they felt unloved and unwanted. They didn’t have close friends to talk to. When you or your friends take the time to care for each other, you’re all helping to stop drug abuse. After all, what are friends for?
(30)
A.To show off their wealth.
B.To feel good and high.
C.To regain their memory.
D.To be different from other.

There was once a young man who suffered from cancer. He was 18 years old and he could die anytime. He never went outside: but he was sick of staying home and wanted to go out for once. So he asked his mother and she gave him permission.
He walked down his block and found a lot of stores. He passed a CD store and saw a beautiful girl about his age and he knew it was love at first sight. He opened the door and walked in.
She looked up and asked, "Can I help you?"
He said. "Uh... Yeah... Umm... I would like to buy a CD."
He picked one out and gave her money for it.
"Would you like me to wrap it for you?" she asked, smiling her cute smile.
He nodded and she went to the back. She came back with the wrapped CD and gave it to him. He took it and walked out of the store.
He went home and from then on, he went to that store every day and bought a CD, and she wrapped it for him. He took the CD home and put it in his closet. He was still too shy to ask her out. His mother found out about this and told him to just ask her. So the next day, he took all his courage and went to the store as usual. He bought a CD like he did every day and once again she went to the back of the store and came back with it wrapped. He took it and when she wasn't looking, he left his phone number on the desk and ran out.
One day the phone rang, and the mother picked it up and said, "Hello?"
It was the girl!!! The mother started to cry and said, "You don't know? He passed away yesterday..."
Later in the day, the mother went into the boy's room because she wanted to remember him. She thought she would start by looking at his clothes. So she opened the closet.
She was face to face with piles and piles of unopened CDs. She was surprised to find all these CDs and she picked one up and sat down on the bed and she started to open one. Inside, there was a CD and as she took it out of the wrapper, out fell a piece of paper. The mother picked it up and started to read it. It said: Hi... I think U R really cute. Do U wanna go out with me? Love, Jocelyn.
The mother was deeply moved and opened another CD...
Again there was a piece of paper. It said: Hi... I think U R really cute. Do U wanna go out with me? Love, Jocelyn.
Why did the boy go to the CD store everyday and buy a CD?
A.He loved the girl.
B.He loved music.
C.He loved collecting CDs.
D.He was sick of staying home and wanted to go out.

听力原文:Man: Today we begin our series on "Traditional Dress throughout the World". Our journey takes us to the little island nation of Sri Lanka. Shanika DeSilva, a native Sri Lankan now living in the United States, shares some interesting thoughts on traditional dress in her home country.
Man: Shanika, thanks for speaking with us today.
Woman: My pleasure.
Man: First of all, I'd like to ask you what is the traditional clothing in Sri Lanka?
Woman: Well, the traditional clothing for women is a sari, a long piece of cloth that is wrapped around your waist, and then it goes over your shoulder. Most of the older women, like my grandmother, wear a sari every day, all the time. The younger women tend to wear dresses or pants or something.
Man: Why don't the younger women wear saris?
Woman: Well, I guess some of them feel that saris are uncomfortable. I've heard women say that saris are hot and difficult to walk in because they're long. Also, if you're not used to wearing a sari, you might feel afraid that it will come unraveled. It's hard to relax in that situation. Also, many younger women think saris are old-fashioned. When you're younger, you're more interested in being stylish. Saris are great for formal occasions, like weddings, but if you're going out with your friends, you want to be more modern.
Man: So the younger women want to be more modern.
Woman: Actually I shouldn't say all the younger women. It depends a lot on your family history. Yon see there are two main groups of people in Sri Lanka-the Sinhalese and the Tamils. Then there are some other ethnic groups, like the Sri Lankans, who are part European. The women who are part European tend to be more modern. But the women who are Sinhalese or Tamil tend to be more traditional.
Man: Why are the Sinhalese and Tamils more traditional?
Woman: It's their culture. Well, in the past, the Sri Lankans that were part European had relatives who wore Western clothing, so they were used to Western dress. The Sinhalese and Tamils didn't have that.
Man: So you're saying that previous family history can influence the way you dress.
Woman: Yes, I think so.
Man: We've been talking about what women wear. It is said the traditional dress of men in Sri Lanka is sarong, a long piece of cloth that's wrapped around the waist. Do they still wear it?
Woman: People who live in rural areas, in the country, still wear sarongs. But in the city, it's only the politicians who wear them. People who have office jobs in downtown Colombo wear pants and shirts and even ties. They only wear sarongs to relax at home.
Man: Why don't they wear traditional clothes?
Woman: I think, personally, that it's a result of being colonized. You see... Sri Lanka used to be ruled by the British from... er... 1815 to 1948. Since the men were the ones who went to work, they had to adapt to the kind of clothes the British were wearing at work. The women, on the other hand, didn't leave the house, so they hung on to the traditional form. of dress.
Man: Interesting! But what about the men who are politicians? You said before that they still wear traditional dress.
Woman: Yeah... I think that's also a result of colonization. You see, after the British left, people wanted to show that they're proud of their culture and their new independence. To show their pride, a lot of politicians who used to wear a suit to work, started to wear a sarong.
Man: So it sounds as if political changes in Sri Lanka have influenced the way politicians dress.
Woman: That's r
A.It is neither a relaxing nor stylish wear.
B.It will come off frequently in walking.
C.It is old-fashioned as it is only worn by old women.
D.It will bring great difficulty to dally work.
