听力原文： Venice is the "Queen" of the Adriatic Sea. Every year thousands of people from all over the world travel to Italy to visit the city. Do you know why they like to go there for a visit？
Venice is a very beautiful city. It is quite different from other cities in the world. There aren't any roads or streets in the city so there aren't any cars or buses. There are many canals in the city. There is one big canal and one hundred and seventy-seven small canals. People move up and down the canals in boats to go to work, go shopping or visit their friends.
But Venice is sinking. It is going down and the water is going up. In 2040 Venice will be under water. The Adriatic Sea will cover the city. The Venetians love their city and they want to stay there, so they want to save Venice from the sea. They do not want to leave. How can they save Venice？ They can build some strong huge walls and gates in the sea. The gates will close to keep too much water out. Thus Venice will not sink.

Save Money by Understanding Why You Spend It
To save money, you simply need to spend less than you earn. It is easy to say, but why is' it so difficult to do？ To answer this question, you need to study the factors that keep you spending all the time.
Easy access to credit
For most people, this is the biggest reason for overspending. People can easily get a credit card, simply by filling out a short form. in a bank or jumping on their website. They can borrow money from banks to go shopping, even buy cars or houses. When you aren't physically handing someone money or a check for a purchase, you will feel you are spending free money or you aren't spending money at all. Try using cash to get your spending under control.
Misusing credit cards
A credit card is an interest free short-term loan. When used as planned, this can be a powerful financial tool. The problem is when you begin to let the balance continue from month to month. If you make a $200 purchase on your credit card and find out that at the end of the month you can't afford to repay the full amount, this is when the high interest rates on the cards really begin to hurt you. That is no way of saving money.
Giving in to temptation
We all need to enjoy life, but don't waste your financial future for a few guilty pleasures today if they aren't in your budget. When you know that you can't afford an activity, don't give in. Instead, invite your friends over for a home dinner party, game night, or some other activities where you can still enjoy time together, but without breaking your budget.
() 26. For most people, easy access to credit is the biggest reason for overspending.
() 27. Using credit card is an effective way to get your spending under control.
() 28. You have to pay for the credit card loans by the end of each month.
() 29. Using a credit card to pay is spending free money.

Questions are based on the following passage．
Today， the poor aren "t just more likely to get divorced. They"re more likely to avoidmarriage entirely.
Earlier today， my colleague Derek Thompson argued that; it"s misleading to thinkof marriage as a "luxury good". Why？ Because luxury goods are something the rich buyand the poor can"t afford. But in the case of marriage the trend is more complex. The vastmajority of Americans tie the knot at some point in their lives， he argues. It"s just thatthose without a college education are far， far more likely to get divorced. Marriage is foreveryone; failed marriages are for the poor.
Bleak stuff. But it"s getting bleaker.
Derek"s post is based on a long-term study of young Baby Boomers， who were atleast 46 years old by 2010. But among younger Americans， marriage really is lookingmore and more like something you"d have to buy at Tiffany"s. According to 2012 CensusBureau report， which shows the percentage of men who have never married by age andincome， the less a guy earns nowadays， the less likely they are to have ever gotten married.
Well， that"s not 100 percent true. Among twenty-somethings there seems to be arich bachelor effect going on （or an overworked young professional effect， if you prefer）.
Those making $75，000 or more are somewhat less likely to have been married than thosemaking between $40，000 and $75，000.
This particular set of Census data unfortunately tells us much less about women andmarriage. The problem: Stay-at-home morns.
The key to remember， though， is that many educated， high-earuing women， the sortswho are likely to meet and marry educated and high-earning men， leave the workforce orgo part time once they have children. So a publicist who once made over $70，000 a yearmight only earn $20，000 if she decided to work fewer hours while caring for her childrenat home.
Here"s why this trend——not just the move towards divorce like Derek talked about，but the move from nuptials （婚礼 ） entirely——is so gloomy. Getting married， and stayingmarried， is one of the surest ways of securing a middle class life. By choosing not to wedin the first place， the poor are abandoning that chance at stability.
Why doesn‘t Derek Thompson think that marriage is a luxury good？ 查看材料

C.Because most people will get married regardless of their financial state.

听力原文：M: Shall we watch TV for a while？
W: I don't like American TV. People keep hitting each other and shooting each other.
M: Some of the shows are pretty violent. But maybe life is like that.
W: I don't believe it. The people I've met here are very kind.
M: So are the people I know. But look at the newspapers. There's a lot of violence in every newspaper. Most of the news seems to be about crime.
W: Maybe nice people aren't interesting enough.
M: You're probably right. People won't but newspapers unless there's exciting news in them.
W: Is that why there's so much violence on TV？ Won't people watch a show unless violent things happen？
M: I don't know. A lot of people like shows about the Old West, with cowboys and Indians attacking each other. I don't like them myself.
W: Neither do I.
M: They don't show hoe people really lived in the Old West.
W: Of course not.

Why aren't the British having as many children as they used to？ Well, there is a whole range of reasons. One of them is that British people are now having their children at a much older age than before, meaning they have fewer vears in which they can have children. Most young people today want a well-paid job, meaning they usually have to go to university. After years of study at university, they then need a few years of work experience before they can get the job they want. They might then get married, but it's very expensive to buy a house in the UK.
The above also explains why British young people now don't move out of their parents' home until they are around 30 years old on average. It is not until they are 30 that they can afford to get married and start a new life in a new home. It's only after this age that many young people start thinking about having a child.
Paragraph 1 tells us that______.
A．the size of the workforce is becoming larger
B．the population of the UK has been on the rise
C．the workers of the UK are much younger than before
D．the average number of children in a British family is falling
