听力原文: Today school children in many countries have high rates of falling eye-sight. Two methods have been proposed to prevent near-sightedness, one Western and one Chinese. The Western method was developed by Mr. Bates, a British actor, in the early part of this century. He trained people to relax their eyes frequently during a period of intense reading. His methods included covering open eyes with the palms of the hands and looking at distant objects by moving the eyes from side to side instead of staring at them. Bates also encouraged school children to look frequently at a calendar on the wall of the classroom to relax their eyes. A famous British writer even wrote a book on the beneficial effects of the Bates method for his vision.
The traditional Chinese method involves pressing certain points around the eyes with fingers. This also relaxes excessive tension in eye muscles. It is best done by doctors trained in traditional Chinese medicine, but it can also be done by students themselves.
Teachers and parents should encourage pupils to relax their eyes frequently while reading and studying.

听力原文: Despite various improvements in all aspects of social life, the generation gap between the grown-up and young remains unbridged. Instead, it grows wider apart.
Nowadays, the youths do not blindly follow what their elders say. Owing to the widespread of education, the influence of western civilization, to a certain extent, gives them a new code of philosophy, which is completely different from that of their elders. An invisible cold wall thus appears between the two generations.
Modern youths are trying to be more revolutionary. They have their own interpretation for different matters; they also have their own ideals. Their reluctance to learn old teachings and sayings becomes the constant friction between the two generations. They always introduce new changes. However, the old people, wedded to everything of the past, are hostile to changes and the generation gap becomes wider and wider.
After all, the young generation, like the old one, is made of flesh and blood. The young also need respect and they also have skills and good ideas. In order to narrow the gap, both groups should respect each other, listen to the words of each other. Most probably, these may help to solve the problem.

听力原文: Nobody knows for certain what the origins of music were. Music is certainly older than poetry and painting but as early man had no way of recording it, we can only guess what it sounded like. Watching a child banging on a drum with its hands or a piece of wood, it is easy to see that this is the simplest of instruments. It does not take much effort to produce a rhythm on it.
Wall painting show what some of the first instruments looked like. Early civilization had already discovered the three basic ways of producing music; blowing into a tube, striking an object, and scraping a string. We know that western music comes from the ancient Greeks. The musical scales we use now are based on certain sequences of notes which the Greeks used to create a particular mood.
Until the sixteenth century, most players of instruments were single performers, but as music became more widespread, orchestras and musical groups began to appear. This brought about the writing of music to be played by several musicians at one time. This can certainly be called the birth of modern music.

听力原文: Bush was born on July 6, 1946, in New Haven, Connecticut, the first child of the family. His grandfather, Prescott Bush, was a Wall Street financier who was elected to the Senate of the United States from Connecticut in 1952. Although his father began his career in the oil industry, he eventually served as a congressman.
At the age of two, Bush moved with his parents from Connecticut to Odessa, Texas, where his father embarked on a career in the petroleum business. After a year in Texas, the family moved to California for business reasons. A year later, the family moved back to Texas and settled in Midland, a town in western Texas legated about 500 km (300 mi) from Fort Worth. Bush lived in Midland from 1950 to 1959. He had three brothers Jeb, Neil, and Marvin, and a sister, Dorothy. In 1959, again for business reasons, the family moved to Houston, Texas. In 1961 Bush left Texas and went to Andover, Massachusetts, to attend Phillips Academy, a boarding school that his father had also attended.
At Phillips, Bush played basketball, baseball, and football. He was best known for being heed cheerleader. In 1964 he enrolled at Yale University in Connecticut; his father and grandfather had also attended Yale. That same year, Bush campaigned for his father in his unsuccessful bid to win a U.S. Senate seat from Texas.
At Yale, Bush was considered an average student, but he was popular with his classmates. During Bush's time at Yale, college students all over the country began to hold protests about a variety of issues, including protests against U.S. involvement in rite Vietnam War (1959-1975). Bush was uncomfortable with the growth of the student protest movement, and he generally refrained from participating in campus polities. In 1968 he campaigned on behalf of his father, who was running for reelection for a seat in the House of Representatives that he had won in 1966.

Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighborhood--a poor, crowded area where a boy's dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer, or businessman, but to become a rich, famous athlete or entertainer. For example, Liverpool, which produced the Beatles, had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years. Pele practiced in the street with a "ball" made of rags. And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of Belfast.
All great players have a lot in common, but that doesn't explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets, but only one became Pele. The greatest players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.
According to the author, which of the following statements is true?
A.Soccer is popular all over the world, but truly great players are rare.
B.Millions of people all over the world are playing soccer, but only six countries have ever hadfamous stars.
C.Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world, but only six countries from SouthAmerica and western Europe have ever had great national teams.
D.All over the world soccer is one of the most popular games, but it seems least popular in North America or Asia.
