W:Yes. We could do that. But, we need ,I think, first,to check if your things. For example, tax benefits, grands, and anything like that. For locating to a smaller place, not one of these main cities,then we could make a better decision.
M:Yes.I agree. You've talked about the improved transport links in Biubao. What about the links to the smaller towns. If it's a mountainous hilly region, it could take an hour or more for a truck to reach a main road. So I think we need to look specifically at the train and links to smaller towns.

Although most people admitted to some lingering rivalry, it was rarely strong enough to end the relationship. Only four out the fifty-five people interviewed had completely broken with their sisters and brothers. And only one of the four felt comfortable with the (?). As sisters and brothers advance into old age, closeness increases and rivalry dimishes, explains A Alee a psychologist in ..University. Most of the elderly people interviewed said they have supportive and friendly dealings, and got along very well or very well with their sisters and brothers. Only four percent got along poorly. Goald found if they ask people age they often become more involved with and interested in their sisters and brothers. 50% of those she interviewed said their contact with their sisters and brothers increased in late adulthood.

Passage 2
Monarch butterflies, the large origin black insects, are common summer sights in northern United States and Canada. They brighten in parks and gardens as they fly among the flowers. What makes monarch butterflies particularly interesting is they migrate, all the way to California or Mexico in back. They are thought to be the only insect that does this. Every year in the late summer, monarch began their migration to the south, those heading for Mexico go first for the Louisiana Mississippi region. And then they fly to go across Mexico into Texas. Once in
Mexico, they establish themselves in one of about 15 sizes in the mountain forth. Each side provides the winter home for millions of monarchs. The butterflies are so numerous that they often cover the entire trees. When spring comes, they began their long journey north. The question is often asked whether every butterfly makes the round trip journey every year. And the answer is no. The average monarch lives about nine month. So when fly the north, they might lay eggs in Louisiana and die. The eggs of that following generation may be found in Kentucky, the eggs of next generation may be in the Kang Michigan. The last generation of the season about the forth may make the journey back in Mexico and restart the cycle. Scientists learn about the monarch butterflies' migration by capturing and placing the identifying tags in the insects. By recapturing the attempt of the monarch and noting where they came from, the next scientist can figure out things like butterfly's age and its routing.

Passage 3
People nowadays seem to have the sense that their time has become more limited. That compared to earlier generations, we spend more and more time working, and have less and less free time to engage in leisure pursuit. But this prime turns out to be an inlusion. The most comprehensive data from major time survey suggest if anything that American today have more free time than earlier generations. The number of hours we work has not changed much. But we spend less time now on home tasks. So we have a great amount of time for leisure in decades past. So why do we feel time is so (?)? One problem is that our time has become more valuable, and it is time that beomes worth more money. We feel like we have less of it. Workers who bill and get paid by the hour think lawyers and fast food workers report focusing more on pursuing more money than those who get paid on salary and the effect happens fast. In one experiment, peopel were told to play the role of consultants, and build their time at either 9 dollars an hour, or ninety dollars an hour. When people build their time for 90 dollars an hour, they were reported feeling far more pressed for time. Thinking about our time as money, changes our behavior as well. In one study, people were instructed to think about money before entering a cafe, spend less time chatting with other patience, and more time working. Those who are thinking about their time did reverse, spending time socializing, instead of working.
23-25
23. What does speaker say people now feel about time?
24. What did the data from major time survey show?
25. What happens when we think about our time as money?
Section C Dictation
The first copy right law in the United States was passed by congress in 1790. In 1976, congress enacted the latest copy right law, taking into consideration the technological developments that had occurred since the passage of the copy right act of 1909. For example, in 1909 anyone who wanted to make a single copy of a literary work for personal use had to do so by hand. The very process imposed a limitation on the quantity of materials copied. Today, a photo copier can do the work in seconds. The limitation has disappeared. The 1909 Law did not provide full protection for films and sound recordings nor did it anticipate the need to protect radio and television. As a result, violations of the law and abuses of the intent of the law have lessened the financial rewards of authors, artists and producers. The 1976 copy right act has not prevented these abuses fully, but it has clarified the legal rights of the injured parties and given them an avenue for remedy. Since 1976 the act has been amended to include computer software and guidelines have been adopted for fair use of television broadcasts. These changes have cleared up much of the confusion and conflict that followed in the wake of 1976 legislation. The fine points of the law are decided by the courts and by acceptable common practice overtime. As these decisions and agreements are made, we modify our behavior accordingly. For now, we need to interpret the law and its guidelines as accurately as we can and to act in a fair manner.
