21.(22)

can't find enough information for his research paper.

can't sleep at night.

can't find a quiet place to study.

can't narrow down his research topic.

22.听力原文：W: Today, millions of us are now addicted to chat rooms, e-

mail and just plain web surfing.

M: Yes, it's no secret that we're into computers. And why not? On the Internet,

we can catch up on news, plan vacations, pay bills and make friends. But for

some, once they type their way onto the Internet, they just can't stop.

W: Who do you think are getting hooked?

M: Internet addiction can happen to anyone who's lonely. It includes two

surprising groups: college students and homemakers.

W: How does that happen?

M: Away from their families, homesick and overwhelmed, many college

students seek connections on the computer. And homemakers are prone to

addiction too, if they're shy. Face-to-face talking can create anxiety. The chat

room eliminates all that.

W: But the more on-line connections vulnerable people make, the more they

may neglect the connections they hold dear in real life.

M: Yea. Apart from that, the Internet can also be harmful to them. In a recent

study, 51 percent of men and 42 percent of women named the Internet as one

of the reasons they're not getting enough sleep! And 68 percent of Internet

addicts surveyed said their on-line usage was destroying their relationships.

The person will retire to the computer at night instead of the bedroom, and

form. cyberspace relationships with strangers instead of communicating with

a spouse.

W: It does make us worry. Do you have any suggestions for us?

M: Well, there are steps to take to make sure your family doesn't get hooked,

for example, you can put the computer in a common area like a living room

where you can't spend hour after hour online. You can use a timer to limit on-

line time. But I think the best way is to join a club. Anyone with balanced and

face-to-face contact with others isn't likely to get hooked.

听力原文： Don't worry, be happy and, according to a new research, you will

also be healthy.

It is estimated that over the course of one year, Americans suffer 1 billion

colds. But new research shows that all it may take to avoid this common

affliction is a positive and upbeat attitude.

People who are happy, relaxed and energetic, are less likely to catch a cold

than those who are depressed, nervous or angry, according to a new study

published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine.

Healthy volunteers were first asked to rate their tendency to experience

positive and negative emotions - how often they felt pleased, relaxed, happy,

or anxious, depressed and hostile. The subjects were next given a squirt up

the nose of a rhinovirus (鼻病毒), the nasty little germ that cause colds.

Researchers then watched the volunteers to see who came down with a cold

and how the unlucky ill manifested their cold symptoms.

"We found that people who regularly experience positive emotions, when

exposed to rhinovirus, are relatively protected from developing illness," said

Dr. Sheldon Cohen, lead author of the study and a psychology Professor at

Carnegie Mellon University.

Although positive people showed a greater resistance to colds, negative

people did not necessarily get sick more often . So how can your emotions

influence your health? In simple terms, when the brain is happy it sends

messages to our organs that help keep the body healthy and sound.

In addition, happy and relaxed people are prone to better health practices than

their negative and stressed counterparts. They are more likely to sleep well

and to engage in regular exercise, and to have lower levels of certain stress

hormones.

Don't worry, be happy and, according to a new research, you will also be

healthy.

45."Welcome to the U.S.A.! Major Credit cards accepted!"

By the millions they are coming, no longer the tired, the poor, the wretched

masses longing for a better living. These are the wealthy. "We don't have a

budget," says a biologist from Brazil, as she walks with two companions

through New York City's South Street. "We just use our credit cards."

The U.S. has long been one of the worlds most popular tourist destinations,

but this year has been exceptional. First there was the World Cup, which drew

thousands from every comer of the globe; then came the weakening of the

U.S. dollar against major currencies. Now the U.S., still the worlds

superpower, can also c .laim to be the worlds bargain basement. Nobody

undersells America these days on just about everything, from consumer

electronics to fashion clothes to tennis rackets. Bottom retail prices -

anywhere from 30% to 70% lower than those in Europe and Asia - have

attracted some 47 million visitors, who are expected to leave behind $79

billion in 1994. That's up from $74 billion the year before.

True, not everyone comes just for bargains. There remains an undeniable

fascination in the rest of the world with all things American, nourished by

Hollywood films and U.S. television series. But shopping the U.S.A. is

proving irresistible. Every week thousands arrive with empty suitcases ready

to be filled; some even rent an additional hotel room to hold their purchases.

The buying binge has become as important as watching Old Faithful

Fountains erupt in Yellowstone Park or sunbathing on a beach in Florida.

The U.S. has come at last to appreciate what other countries learned long ago:

the pouring in of foreign tourists may not always be convenient, but it does

put money in the bank. And with a trade deficit at about $130 billion and

growing for the past 12 months, the U.S. needs all the deposits it can get.

Compared with American tourists abroad, visitors to the U.S. stay longer and

spend more money at each stop; and average of 12.2 night and $1624 a

traveller versus the American's four nights and $298.

From what the Brazilian biologist says, we know that tourists like her______.

reluctant to carry cash with them

don't care how much they spend

not good at planning their expenditure

spend more money than they can afford

Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or

incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions

or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

One pertinent question in the wake of the earthquake near Aceh (亚齐省) and

the tsunami (海啸) it generated is how much notice of an approaching wave

can be given to vulnerable people without the risk of crying "wolf" too often.

Earthquakes themselves are unpredictable, and likely to remain so. But

detecting them when they happen is a routine technology. That was not the

problem in this case, which was observed by monitoring stations all over the

world. Unfortunately for the forecasters, although any powerful submarine

earthquake brings the risk of a dangerous tsunami, not all such earthquakes

actually result in a big wave, and false alarms cost money and breed cynicism.

On top of that, most "tsunamigenic" earthquakes, which are caused when the

processes of plate tectonics force heavy, oceanic crustal rock below lighter,

continental rock to create a deep trench at the bottom of the sea, occur in the

Pacific, which is almost surrounded by such trenches. In the Indian Ocean,

deep trenches are confined to the southern coast of Indonesia, and tsunamis

are rare. Since most of the countries affected by this tsunami are poor, or

middle income at best, and monitoring costs money, this might suggest that a

fatalistic approach to the question is reasonable. But American and Japanese

experience suggests that effective monitoring need not be that expensive.

These two countries have networks of seabed pressure detectors that can

monitor tsunamis and indicate whether and where evacuation is necessary

data they share with their Pacific neighbours. A system of seven detectors, run

from Hawaii, cost about $18m to develop, and the experience gained doing
