听力原文: Good 'afternoon, class. Today, we'll continue our discussion of modern American architects. Now, let's review the three main elements that any architect must consider when designing a building. One of the elements is function. An architect must consider the function of a building, whether the design hinders or enhances the use of the building, whether the design allows for easy heating and cooling, plumbing, and electrical wiring.
Appearance, the second element is appearance. Does the building fit in with its surroundings? Is it pleasing to look at or an eyesore? Its appearance is quite an important element.
The last one is durability. An architect must consider a building's durability, whether the materials will withstand wear from weather on the outside and from use on the inside.
Now we'll move on to discuss the architect. The man in this photograph is Frank Lloyd Wright. Frank Lloyd Wright has been called the greatest figure in modem American architecture because of his influence on function, appearance, and durability.

听力原文: American visitors to Eastern Asia are often surprised and puzzled by how Asian cultures and customs differ from those in the United States. What's considered typical or proper social conduct in one country may be regarded as odd, improper or even rude in the other. For example, people from me Eastern Asian countries may begin a conversation with a stronger by asking personal questions about family, home or work. Such questions are thought to be friendly, whereas they might be considered offensive in the United States. On the other hand, people in most Asian cultures are far more guarded about expressing their feelings publicly than mast Americans are. Openly displaying annoyance or anger, yelling, arguing loudly and so forth is considered illmannered in countries such as Japan. Many Eastern Asians prefer to hold their emotions in check and instead express themselves with great politeness. They try not to be blunt and avoid making direct criticisms. In fact, they often keep their differences of opinion to them selves and merely smile and remain silent rather than engage in a confrontation. By comparison, Americans are often frank about displaying both positive and negative emotions on the street and in other public places.

Most Americans are considered a success when they make a name for themselves.

听力原文: In the past 20 years, scientists have discovered a great deal about sleep and dreams. They have discovered, for example, that sleep and dreams affect the way people feel. A good night's sleep, generally, makes a person happier in the morning.
Dreams also have a strong effect on the moods of people. However, who appears in a dream is often more important than what happens. Every person has a special dream character. If this special character appears in dreams, people are happier after sleeping. If there are many people in one's dreams, this has a good effect. A person will wake up happier.
The moods of people affect their performance throughout the day. The level of one's moods rises and falls during the day. The less sleepy people are, the better they perform. And, usually they are more friendly, more aggressive, and more clear- thinking. Someday, scientists hope to be able to manipulate sleep in order to control the way people feel and perform.
What is the passage mainly about?
A.Sleep and dreams.
B.The importance of dreams.
C.The amount of dreams.
