The U.S. civil rights activist Derevent al Shopton paid his respects, "James Brown was not just a guy who'd made a lot of hits, he changed culture for us. He made the common landmark.

听力原文： The Medicine Man

Among the Indians of North American the medicine man was a very important person. He could cure illness and he could speak to the spirits. The spirits are the supernatural forces that controlled the world.

The Indians believed that bad spirits made people ill. So, when people were ill, the medicine man tried to help them by using magic. He speaks to the good spirits and asked for their help.

The medicine men were often successful for another reason, too. They knew about plants that really can cure illnesses. A lot of modem medicines are made from plants that were used by medicine men hundreds of years ago.

听力原文： The twenty-third Olympic Games, held in Los Angeles, were very much a contest of mind, muscle, and athletic determination. However, high technology, especially in the computer field, played an increasing role in both the staging of the event and the race for the gold. Computers were used to keep track of schedules, accounts, transportation, and ticketing for more than 43,000 Olympic employees and volunteers.

A sophisticated electronic message system helped to keep the 12,000 or so journalists up-to-date on results--usually within a minute after the judges' decisions were final. Computers and other high-tech tools were also used to train American athletes by analyzing and evaluating performance, identifying weaknesses, and suggesting ways to improve.

听力原文： During the early American colonial years, corn was more plentiful than wheat, so corn bread was more common than wheat bread. Friendly Indians showed colonists how to grow corn and how to prepare it for food and pioneer women then improved the Indian cooking techniques. When people traveled, they went on foot or horseback, sleeping and eating in the forests. They carried corn bread for sustenance. The corn bread came to be called journeyeake. Later when roads and taverns were built and stagecoaches carried passengers, journeycake became johnnycake, a name many easterners still use for corn bread. The kinds of bread made with cornmeal were and still are almost without limit. Every region has its specialties.

From the start, southerners showed a preference for white eorm:neal, northerners for yellow. And pioneers on the frontier, when they ran out of yeast, made salt-rising bread. They stirred together water, a little water ground cornmeal, potatoes, and salt. They set the mixture, uncovered, in a warm place until it absorbed bacteria from the air and began to ferment. Then they removed the potatoes and used the liquid as leavening for their bread, made with white flour.

(33)

A．The colonists preferred corn bread.

B．Corn was more abundant.

C．The colonists did not know how to make wheat bread.

D．Corn bread did not spoil as rapidly as wheat bread did.
