根据下面内容，回答题：
The majority of people in Scotland are in favor breaking away from the rest of the UK and becoming independent， according to a poll taken just before the 300th anniversary of the Act of Union，which united Scotland and England.
A pair of Acts of Parliament， passed in 1706 and 1707 that came into effect on May 1，1707， created Great Britain. The parliaments of both countries were dissolved， and replaced by a new Parliament of Great Britain in Westminster， London.
The poll showed support for independence for Scotland is running at 51%. This is the first time since 1998 that support for separation has passed 50% ， and the first time since devolution gave power to the country in 1999. Six months before elections for the Scottish Parliament， these poll results come as good news to the Scottish Nationalist Party， who are hoping to make progress against Labor and further the cause of an independent Scotland.
Many people have become disillusioned with devolution， and believe that the Scottish Parliament has failed to deliver what they had hoped it would; only a tenth has no opinion. In fact， only 39% of those polled want to keep things as they are.

听力原文： Americans are suffering from a serious sleep deficit as they spend more time on leisure activities. A world that "never goes to sleep" offers many diverse activities, but encourages unhealthy and sometimes anti-social lifestyles for American adults. Instead of working to live, they are living to work, a shift that has had a profound impact on their personal lives. Adults report spending less time sleeping, engaged in social and leisure activities. Most Americans say they suffer from sleep problems and when they go to sleep, many sleep alone even if they are married. These are some of the key findings in the National Sleep Foundation's 2001 "Sleep in America" poll, which looks at the relationship between Americans' lifestyles, sleep habits and sleep problems. Sleep deprivation continues to be widespread in America. According to the NSF poll, 63% of American adults do not get the recommended eight hours of sleep needed for good health, safety, and optimum performance. In fact, nearly one-third report sleeping less than seven hours each week night, though many adults say they try to sleep more on weekends. The poll shows good news and bad news. The good news is that many Americans say they don't want to give up any more sleep in spite of their hectic lives. And they would sleep more if they were convinced it would contribute to their quality of life. The bad news is far too many adults still sacrifice sleep, which is unhealthy and counter-productive.

A．Because of the stress factors.
B．Because of the leisure activities.
C．Because of the TV watching.
D．Because of the general American culture.
Fears of death are not so extensive as might be supposed.
In a public opinion poll of 1500 adults, only about 4
percent showed evidence of direct fearing their own death. 【S1】______
Those fears that do exist apparently change with age. Hall
found that younger individuals fear the occur of death, 【S2】______
whereas old people fear the circumstances of death. In another 【S3】______
study, elderly patients were rated for signs of fear
before death.
It was found that feelings of acceptance, anticipation,
and, in some cases, apathy, far outnumber instances of fear 【S4】______
before death.
These findings seem to indicate a general lack of fear
about death, but there is other possible interpretation. It 【S5】______
may be more accurate to say that they reflect a deeply
ingrained tendency to deny the reality of death. The mere
fact that death has been something of a taboo subject
suggest that underlying fears do exist. When Psychology 【S6】______
Today surveyed its readers on the subject of death,
it was found that less than one-thirds of those who 【S7】______
replied to grew up in families in which death was openly 【S8】______
talked about. The average person's exposure of death 【S9】______
unfortunately consists of the artificial and obviously unrealistic
portrayals of death on TV. It has been estimated that by
the time a person is 14 years old, he or she will witness 18 【S10】______
000 TV deaths. With almost no exception these will have
been homicides, not deaths due to illness or aging.
【S1】
听力原文： One in 10 young people claim to have had no career advice during their education.
Around two thirds have not decided on a career by the time they leave school, says the YouGov poll for recruitment consultancy, Harvey Nash.
Most rely on friends but many are turning to the Internet for advice instead, and the careers service needs to embrace this, say experts.
The knock-on effect of confusing and unhelpful careers advice is that young people are not making the best use of their skills, and industry is losing out on the most talented candidates.
Harvey Nash chief, Albert Ellis, said: "Without direction and advice, not only are young people missing out on potential career opportunities themselves, but businesses too, could be missing out on the next generation of skills they need to compete".
What is the main message of the news item？
A．Young people should seek careers advice.
B．Careers service needs to be improved.
C．Businesses are not getting talented people.
D．Careers advice is not offered on the Internet.
Trying to Find a Parther
One of the most striking findings of a recent poll in the UK is that of the people interviewed, one in two believes that it is becoming more difficult to meet someone to start a family with.
Why are many finding it increasingly difficult to start and sustain intimate relationships？ Does modern life really make it harder to fall in love？ Or are we making it harder for ourselves？
It is certainly the case today that contemporary couples benefit in different ways from relationships. Women no longer rely upon partners for economic security or status. A man doesn't expect his spouse to be in sole charge of running his household and raising his children.
But perhaps the knowledge that we can live perfectly well without a partnership means that it takes much more to persuade people to abandon their independence.
In theory, finding a partner should be much simpler these days. Only a few generations ago, your choice of soulmate (心上人) was constrained by geography, social convention and family tradition. Although it was never explicit, many marriages were essentially arranged.
Now those barriers have been broken down. You can approach a builder or a brain surgeon in any bar in any city on any given evening. When the world is your oyster (牡蛎), you surely have a better chance of finding a pearl.
But it seems that the old conventions have been replaced by an even tighter constraint: the tyranny of choice.
The expectations of partners are inflated to an unmanageable degree: good looks, impressive salary, kind to grandmother, and right socks. There is no room for error in the first impression.
We think that a relationship can be perfect. If it isn't, it is disposable. We work to protect ourselves against future heartache and don't put in the hard emotional labor needed to build a strong relationship. Of course, this is complicated by realities. The cost of housing and child-rearing creates pressure to have a stable income and career before a life partnership.
What does the recent poll show？
A．It is getting more difficult for a woman to find her husband.
B．It is getting increasingly difficult to start a family.
C．It is getting more difficult for a man to find his wife.
D．It is getting increasingly difficult to develop an intimate relationship with your spouse.
