听力原文：M: Well, you seemed to be having fun watching the movie？
W: Yeah, it was good fun. I think it kept me in stitches right from the start.
M: You know, whenever I watch comedy, I always like to know why it is that people like to laugh. I mean, why does it feel so good to laugh？
W: Yeah, I heard from my biology professor that even after centuries of scientific research, no one knows for sure why human beings and just a few other primates laugh.
M: I read somewhere that Charles Darwin thought that laughter, which begins with small babies, was like an evolutionary "reward" to the mother and father. Baby's laughter sounded and felt so different from crying, he believed, that even prehistoric parents must have interpreted it as a sign of well-being, kind of like the purring of a kitten. The parents enjoyed the laughter, which encouraged them to continue caring for the child.
W: Yes, apparently researchers have also found that it has a positive effect on many patients and that it produces certain hormones that actually switch on the body's immune system and actually help fight off diseases. So it could be to help fight off disease.
M: I also heard that some psychology professor from the University of Maryland, studied the laughter that takes place in conversations between men and women and found that most laughter takes place when males are talking and females are listening. Men are more likely to make jokes than women are, and women are more likely to laugh at them than men are.
W: If only your jokes were funny, I might laugh more and lit that pattern.
M: Well, I've heard that apes also like laughing.
W: I heard that too. Chimpanzees, apes, orangutans and a few other primates laugh, but no other animals do. I've seen them laugh at zoos, when tickling each other, and when playing chasing games. Their laugh sounds like rapid panting, but I've been assured it's a kind of laughing.
M: Which reminds me I'd better go back before my roommates eat all the chicken I left out in the kitchen!

听力原文：M How did your interview go with the community development center？

M So if you're hired, what exactly would you do there？
W Mainly accounting-type work. And that's fine, I like it, but I'd also be analyzing investment properties, which is really what I want to do. Analysis is more interesting to me than accounting.

听力原文：W: What are you doing here？

M: I also like taking photos and I have a Japanese-made camera.

W: Yes, it was fantastic. Now I know why it is listed together with the Nile river as one of the great natural wonders of the world. Here, want to see the picture I took？
M: Oh what a view! It is even bigger than I had imagined. I remember reading about the Great Canyon and I think it said that it was formed suddenly when the earth crust split open during an earthquake.
W: Well, not that quickly. Look, here is the picture of th Colorado river. See way down at the bottom of the canyon, that river and its tributaries have been wearing the canyon floor away for ten million years.
M: Then the canyon is the result of soil erosion. I'll bet geologists have made some interesting discoveries there.
W: Not only the geologists, archaeologists have also found the bones of extinct animals in caves in the canyon walls. In a cave one hundred and forty feet above the river, they found drift wood that dated back as far as thirty-seven thousand years.
M: That means the river must have been a hundred and forty feet higher up when it carried the drift wood into the cave.
W: It's very possible, but of course who knows. The Great Canyon is full of mysteries. Wouldn't you like to go to Arizona some day？
M: You bet I would.
Where has the woman been？
A．To Colonado.
B．To Anzona.
C．To the Nile River.
D．To the Museum of Natural History.

M: Oh, what a view! It is even bigger than I had imagined. I remember reading about the Great Valley and I think it said that it was formed suddenly when an earthquake took place.
W: Well, not that quickly. Look, the river has been wearing the valley floor away for ten million years.
M: Then the valley is the result of soil changes. I'll bet geologists have made some interesting discoveries there.

W: I've never seen a redwood tree, I really can't imagine how big they are.
M: The coastal redwoods are the tallest living things. Some are more than three hundred and fifty feet high. But none of the tree at Muirwoods is that high. You have to go further north in California to see the tallest trees.
W: You said that Muirwoods is near San Francisco？ I guess it must be quite a tourist attraction.
M: Yes. It's less than an hour's drive, so it's easy to go to.
W: I've heard that many redwood trees are thousands of years old. Are the ones in Muirwoods that old？
M: The oldest documented age for a coastal redwood is more than thousand years. The trees at Muirwoods are 400 to 800 years old.
W: Why have they survived so long？
M: They have remarkable resistance to forest fires. Their tough, thick bark protects the trees during a fire. The coastal redwoods also like a damp, foggy climate.
W: Then since Muirwoods is near foggy San Francisco, it must be ideal for the tree's survival. I can't wait to go there and see them.
Where can the tallest trees be found？
A．In Muirwoods.
B．Near Los Angeles.
C．Along the Atlantic Ocean.
D．In northern California.
听力原文：M: Hey, Michelle. Look what I just found. Right here in the sand.
W: A piece of wood？ Oh. Driftwood. Interesting shape... Almost like some sort of modern sculpture.
M: Yeah. And feel how smooth it is.
W: Hmm, Must've been in the water a long time. It could've been drifting in the ocean currents for months, or even years.
M: In the currents？ Doesn't the wind just blow things around out there？
W: Well, sure. But the currents are always moving, too. Almost like rivers, but underwater rivers, flowing through the ocean.
M: So how do they find out where these currents go？ Stick a message in a bottle and throw it in the water？
W: Don't laugh. In fact, I was reading in a science magazine that oceanographers have released huge numbers of bottles into the ocean over the years. They wanted to map out where the currents would carry them.
M: Say, I'll bet-after they found out where all those bottles ended up-they could enter all that data in to a computer and make a pretty detailed model to... to show where the currents go.
W: In fact, they did. And they also found a neat way to test that model. There was a freighter carrying sneakers from a factory in Asia. It was caught in a big storm and thousands of pairs of sneakers got dumped in the Pacific Ocean.
M: Really？ What a waste!
W: Yeah. Turns out, though, that hundreds of these shoes started washing up on beaches somewhere near Seattle, just about where the computer models had predicted the currents would carry them.
M: Gee. You mean all that stuff I find on the beaches might be part of some big scientific experiment？ I thought it was all just trash!
(20)
A．Collecting objects on the beach.
B．Creating computer models.
C．Mapping currents in the ocean.
D．Tracking water pollution.

M: Street dance is a newly emerged way of keeping fit. It was introduced into China in 1999.
W: Why do you choose Street dance？
M: I found that this class is the most interesting.
W: Oh really？ Tell me more about it.
M: Well, Street dance uses its music, its basic movements, and also its freedom for self-expression.
W: It sounds like an aerobics class.
M: Not exactly. The participants and the instructor are dressed in their ordinary casual wear. Moreover, the music they use is not the dancing music that an aerobics class usually uses.
W: s that the main differences from normal aerobics？
M: No, Street dance is a lot more tiring.
W: Does it mean you feel like you've been tired out？
M: Ha, no. I think it is a good way to relax.
W: Is there any age or skill level limit for entering？
