听力原文： Japan's central bank kept its bleak view of the economy unchanged for the fourth

straight month in a report Monday that said growth was hampered by weak domestic consumption and shaky exports. Feeble recovery in the U. S. and European economies plagued by tensions in the Middle East, limited Japan's hopes for an export-led recovery. One bright spot was employment, with the number of new job offers showing a rising trend, the report said. But that was outweighed by an ongoing decline in wages. Japan has been battling a slowdown for more than a decade, and Monday's report noted with concern the weakness of Japanese stock prices. Tokyo stocks have been hovering around 19-year lows.

According to the news, Japan's economy is still weak because of all the reasons EXCEPT______.

A．an unsteady export-led recovery

B．weak domestic consumption

C．an ongoing decline in wages

D．overseas economic uncertainty

The old lady had always been proud of the great rose-tree in her garden, and was fond of

telling how it had grown from a cutting she had brought years before from Italy, when she was first married. She and her husband had been travelling back in their carriage from Rome (it was before the time of railways ) and on a bad piece of road south of Siena they had broken down, and had been forced to pass the night in a little house by the road-side. The accommodation was wretched of course; she had spent a sleepless night, and rising early had stood, wrapped up, at her window, with the cool air blowing on her face, to watch the dawn. She could still, after all these years, remember the blue mountains with the bright moon above them, and how a far-off town on one of the peaks had gradually grown whiter and whiter, till the moon faded, the mountains were touched with the pink of the rising sun, and suddenly the town was lit as by an illumination, one window after another catching and reflecting the sun’s beam, till at last the whole little city twinkled and sparkled up in the sky like a nest of stars.

听力原文： People say that to get up early in three mornings is equal to one day of time. Early rising is beneficial in more than one way. First, it helps to keep us fit. We all need fresh air. But air is never so fresh as early in the morning. Besides, it improves our health to take our morning exercises.

Secondly, early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning our mind is clear, and we learn more quickly. We find it easier to memorize what we learn. The study is very efficient then.

Thirdly, early rising enables us to plan our work for the day. We cannot work well without a proper plan. Just as the plan for the year should be made in foe spring, so the plan for the day should be made in the morning.

Fourthly, early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work, such as to brush our teeth, take a shower, get dressed, and eat our breakfast properly.

Finally, there is less traffic on the way. Buses and cars are not crowded, and there are less traffic jams. The fore, it takes less time to get to our schools and work places.

Late risers may find it very difficult to cultivate the habit of early rising. Since they already know the benefits of early rising, they ought to make up their minds and make a special effort to do so.

(30)

A．Early risers and late risers.

B．Benefits of early rising.

C．How to get up early.

D．How not to be late for work.

Professor Plumb has just invented a highly concentrated form. of food. All the essential n

utritive elements are put together in the form. of pellets which, diluted with water, will form. all that is necessary to support life. The Professor looks forward confidently to revolutionising the present food system. Now this kind of thing may be all very well in its way, but it is going to have its drawbacks as well. In the bright future anticipated by Professor Plumb, we can easily imagine such incidents as the following: The smiling family were gathered round the hospitable board. The table was plenteously laid with a soup-plate in front of each beaming child, a bucket of hot water before the radiant mother, and at the head of the board the Christmas dinner of the happy home, warmly covered by a thimble and resting on a poker chip. The expectant whispers of the little ones were hushed as the father, rising from his chair, lifted the thimble and disclosed a small pill of concentrated nourishment on the chip before him. Christmas turkey, cranberry sauce, plum pudding, mince pie—it was all there, all jammed into that little pill and only waiting to expand. Then the father with deep reverence, and devout eye alternating between the pill and heaven, lifted his voice in a benediction.

The First Navigational Lights

In the New World the first navigational lights were probably lanterns hung at harbor entrances. The first lighthouse was put up by the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1716 on little Brewster Island at the entrance to Boston Harbor.
