听力原文: W: I'm not surprised that factory workers want shorter hours. How would you like to be panels or turn screws hours after hours everyday.
M: I wouldn't. I'd get bored. And I think only of my weekly wage packet.
W: So naturally, our workers are always on strike. They are bored and they want more money to spend in spare time.
M: No. What worries me is that there is far too many unnecessary disagreements between workers, trade unions and managements. We haven't yet learned to work together-as a team.
W: Is that why so many of our industries are dying?
M: What do you mean so many of our industries and what do you mean by dying?
W: That's the word you used the other day about coal mining and cotton textile industry.
M: Why do people get so upset about these industries? I suppose it's because it used to be our pride and strength. Well, there aren't any more as far as I'm concerned, the sooner people realize it, the better. Then all the money, labor and technical skills wasted on them could be put into the spending of other industries like electronics, motor cars, IT industry, and even some industry like tourism.
W: What about industries in other European countries? Haven't they got the same sort of problems.
M: Yes, hut they had more practice at fighting for markets. That's why I'm in favor of Britain being a member of Euro Zone. Industry inside of the Euro Zone are forced to take notice of their competitors.
W: Don't you feel hopeless about the future?
M: Of course, I don't. We are very invented and innovated people and we have plenty of skilled and professional workers. Besides, we still have reputation for honesty and fair dealing in business.
W: How nice to hear you boast, Charlie. The English think it's in bad taste to boast, don't they? When foreigners ask you how are things, and you answer "not bad". How they are to know "not bad" often means first class, thank you.

Lowering the Risk of Heart Disease
Like millions of other Americans, I come from a family with a history Of heart disease. My father had his first three heart attacks when he was only thirty-one.__________(46)I grew up with heart disease. It was there, but I didn't take it seriously.
When I was thirty-one, my blood cholesterol (胆固醇) level was measured for the first time. It was 311 mg/dl, the doctor told me--an extremely high level that put me at a very high risk of heart disease, 'especially with my family history. He sent me to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to be screened for participation in a clinical trial. _________(47)
At NIH, physicians explained the degree of risk associated with my blood
cholesterol level and the nature of the experiment. This test involves putting a tube through a leg artery (动脉) up to the heart._________(48)
Learning about the risks of the experiment as well as the risk associated with my raised blood cholesterol level scared the life out of me. Although I was excluded from participating in the study, the experience may well have saved my life.
For the first time, I began to realize the seriousness of high blood cholesterol.___________(49) But equally important, I got a taste of what it is like to be a patient, to have tests done on me and to think of myself as sick. This was hard to take.
This experience taught me two lifesaving lessons. First, although I felt fit and strong, I was actually at high risk for heart disease because of my high blood cholesterol level. And with my family history, it could not be ignored.___________(50)
A.The death rate for the test was only 1 in 100, I was assured.
B.Second, I could lower my blood cholesterol level simply by changing what I ate.
C.I was three years old at that time.
D.There is not enough oxygen in the blood.
E. It was a heart attack just waiting to happen.
F. The trial was designed to test the effect of lowering blood cholesterol on the risk of heart disease.

Exchange a glance with someone, and then look away. 46 Hold the glance for a sec-ond longer, and you have made a different statement.Hold for 3 seconds, and the mean-ing has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person's gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive.If you are on an eleva-tor, what gaze-time are you permitted? 47 You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no threat.Since being close to an-other person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone.So you cut off eye contact, what sociologist Erving Goffman(1963) calls "a dimming of the lights". 48 Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.
If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? 49 For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner.They typical-ly gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, then drop their eyes down for 3 sec-onds, before letting their eyes meet again.But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals "I know you." "I am interested in you." Or " 50 " This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.
A.To answer this question, consider what you typically do.
B.If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel curious.
C. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another pas-senger's eyes.
D.Do you realize that you have made a statement?
E.Much depends on the person and the situation.
F.You look peculiar and I am curious about you.
