18、re did the conversation take place? 24. What are the speakers talking about? 25. What is the mans line of business?PassageP1 The new year always brings with the cultural tradition of new possibilities. We see it as a chance for renewal. We begin to dream of new possible selves. We design our ideal s

19、elf or an image that is quite different from what we are now. For some of us, we roll at dreamy film in our heads just because its the beginning of a new year. But we arent serious about making changes. We just make some half-hearted resolution and it evaporates after a week or two. The experience m

20、akes us feel less successful and leads us to discount our ability to change in the future. It not the change is impossible but that it wont lost unless our resolutions are supported with plans for implementation. We have to make our intentions manageable by detailing the specific steps that will car

21、ry us to our goal. Say your goal is to lose weight by dieting and cutting off sweets. But one night you just have to have a cookie. And you know theres a bag of your favorites in the cupboard. You want one, you eat two, you check the bag and find out youve just shot 132 calories. You say to yourself

22、, “What the hell!” and polish off the whole bag. Then you begin to draw all kinds of unpleasant conclusions about yourself. To protect your sense of self, you begin to discount the goal. You may think “Well, dieting wasnt that important to me and I wont make it anyhow.” So you abandon the goal and r

23、eturn to your bad habits.26 What do people usually wish to do at the beginning of a new year? 27 How can people turn their new years resolutions into reality? 28 Why does the speaker mention the example of sweets and cookies?P2 25 years ago, Ray Anderson, a single parent with a one-year-old son witn

24、essed a terrible accident which took place when the driver of a truck ran a red light and collided with the car of Sandra (?). The impact of the collision killed Sandra instantly. But her three-month-old daughter was left trapped in the burning car. While others looked on in horror, Andersen jumped

25、out of his vehicle and crawled into the car through the shadowed rear window to try to free the infant. Seconds later, the car was enclosed in flames. But to everyones amazement, Andersen was able to pull the baby to safety. While the baby was all right, Andersen was seriously injured. Two days late

26、r he died. But his heroic act was published widely in the media. His son was soon adopted by relatives. The most remarkable part of the story unfolded only last week. Karen and her boyfriend Michael were looking through some old boxes when they came across some old newspaper clippings. “This is me w

27、hen I was a new born baby. I was rescued from a burning car. But my mother died in the accident,” explained Karen. Although Michael knew Karens mother had died years earlier, he never fully understood the circumstances until he skimmed over the newspaper article. To Karens surprise, Michael was abso

28、rbed in the details of the accident. And he began to cry uncontrollably. Then he revealed that the man that pulled Karen from the flames was the father he never knew. The two embraced and shed many tears, recounting stories told to them about their parents.29 What happened twenty-five years ago? 30

29、What does the speaker say about Michaels father? 31 Why did Michael cry uncontrollably when he skimmed over the newspaper article?P3 Americans suffer from an overdose of work. Regardless of who they are or what they do. Americans spend more time at work than that any time since World War II. In 1950

30、, the US had fewer working hours than any other industrialized country. Today, it exceeds every country but Japan where industrialized employees load 2155 hours a year compared with 1951 in the US and 1603 in the former West Germany. Between 1969 and 1989, employed Americans add an average of 138 ho

31、urs to their yearly work schedules. The workweek has remained above 40 hours. But people are working more weeks each year. Specifically pay time off holidays, vacations, sick leave shrank by 50% in the 1980s. As corporations have experienced stiff competitions and slow in growth of productivity, the

32、y have pressed employees to work longer. Cost-cutting lay-offs in the 1980s reduce the professional and managerial runs, leaving fewer people to get the job done. In lower paid occupations where wages have been reduced, workers have added hours in overtime or extra jobs to preserve their living standards.
