听力原文： [32] Apple's iPod profoundly changed the way people experience music. What will

it do for television？ [33] The industry is intrigued by the announcement that episodes of the hit ABC shows Desperate Housewives and Lost will be available for Apple's new video iPod. Episodes will go on sale for $1.99 on iTunes the day after they are broadcast. For ABC and its parent Walt Disney Co., [34] the bet is that the new technology will bring in more new fans of the programs than will be taken away from watching them on traditional broadcast television. Now the iPod will join digital video recorders and DVDs as another way of seeing television programs other than their regularly scheduled times on the ABC stations. Leon Long, chairman of ABC's affiliate board believes if viewers have the choice of watching Desperate Housewives on their wide-screen television with surround sound or a two-inch iPod screen, they will almost certainly watch it on TV. [35] The iPod option will likely be attractive to people who missed an episode and want to keep up with the story. The downloads might also ap peal to techies who want to try out the new product and might not necessarily be fans of the programs, which could bring these shows a new audience.

(33)

A．It changed the source of music.

B．It changed the source of TV programs.

C．It changed the way to appreciate both music and TV programs.

D．It changed people's opinion on traditional broadcast television.

听力原文： Digital rap3 players like Apple's iPod can download and play hours of music and

thousands of images. It's not surprising that they are among the nation's most popular entertainment devices. Now, a handful of U. S. colleges and universities are using them as education devices.

That chance to listen as many times as necessary makes a difference. Back in the days when students came to class, they hear what the teacher says. They rely on the notes that they take away from it and they type it. With the lectures on iPods and on-line discussion forums when requested by students, pupils grasp the material more quickly.

And there may be additional benefits for shy students. They actually begin to shine in an on-line environment. in the online world, they're able to create thoughts, write them down, and post them to class where they can be a full participant.

According to some expert, this technology is d0ing more than giving students the flexibility to listen and learn anytime, anywhere; instead it's empowering them as education consumers, and colleges and universities are paying attention. Nowadays, they need to focus on the student experience and make the entire teaching experience not about the professor giving their lectures. It's about how can schools reach out to the students in a way that meets their needs, since so many of today's students are not "traditional learners" any more.

According to the passage, what is applied in teaching today？

A．Music.

B．Image.

C．Entertainment.

D．Digital devices.
