There's no doubt that it would lead to endless trouble, if the surplus were not reorganized properly. In order to maintain social stability and secure people's normal living standards, it's essential to work out solutions to the problem. Solving the problem is a two-way operation, as far as governments and workers are concerned. On the one hand, the government at all levels should try every possible means to create a wide range of employment options open to laid-off workers. On the other hand, these workers ought not to sit idle and wait for opportunities to come. So long as they don't lose heart and constantly strive to better themselves, their futures will be bright大学英语六级听力：Controling CancerThere are two main causes of cancer: heredity and environment. We can do nothing to change our heredity, that is, the basic physical characteristics that are passed on to us by our parents. However, we can do a great deal to control our environment, which may account for eighty to ninety percent of all cancers. Enviromnental pollution can be divided into two kinds: personal and nonpersonal. Personal pollution may be defined roughly as unhealthy habits such as smoking, drinking, and eating the wrong foods. Clearly, with enough will power we can control this personal environment. nonpersonal pollution, on the other hand, refers to those things which are beyond ourindividual control. One example would be industrial pollution, which is very hard to control because of the expense involved. It would be expensive in terms of profits and, perhaps, jobs.The American automobile industry, for example, resisted the law requiring smog-control devices because it feared the added expense would reduce profits. Nevertheless, some laws protecting the environment have been quite successful in reducing pollution.大学英语六级听力：FacesFaces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people. Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child -- or even an animal, such as a pigeon -- can learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted.We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the wa ys in which he or she acts, speaks thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face” looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a “nice person”, you might begin to think about someone who was kind considerate, friendly and warm.大学英语六级听力：American and European cultural courses This term several useful and interesting courses have been offered. An introduction to European culture, for instance, gives us a lot of background knowledge of the history of Europeanphilosophy, literature and arts. From time to time, we see slight shows of famous paintings, and hear tapes of famous pieces of music, these make the lecture all the more interesting.American society and culture is another course that attracts a large audience. The teacher who visited the united state not long ago, discusses new train and changes in American life, as well as American history and traditions. We like these and other courses very much, because they help us not only to improve our English, but also to broaden our vision.大学英语六级听力：Physical activityMost young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It might be walking, cycling, or swimming , or in winter , skating or skiing . It might be a game of some kind —football, hockey, golf or tennis., or it might be mountaineering . Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship , and to take risks on high mountains ? This astonishment it probably caused by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure. If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team sport”. We should be mistaken in this . There are , it is true , no “matcher” between “ teams” of climbers , however, when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend , there is obviously teamwork .大学英语六级听力：Choosing a CareerChoosing a career is one of the most important things in a person's life. Finding the right career, we will be happy and successful. Finding the wrong one, we will not be able to fullydisplay our our talents. Unfortunately, many of us make causely mistakes, the trouble is that we often choose a career for the wrong reasons. For example, some people simply follow in the footsteps of their parents and relatives, and many others change jobs constantly under the influence of friends who give them their advice. As a result, they can't make the best use of their talents, and they get no well in their work. These mistakes can be avoided by taking into account some factors, such as our choice of occupation and a necessary information about the job before we make the decision. Above all, it is important to make a fare evaluation of ourselves. Be sure that we know where our interest lies and what our ability is. Only by doing so, can we both excel in and enjoy our work.。

The patient also tells the loved one things they didn't get to hear in life.In a study comparing the two types of therapy, 51 percent of people with complicated grief were helped compared to 28 percent of people receiving traditional psychotherapy. Dr. Shear was (20) by the results. Among them is Heather Chatterjee, who has come to accept the death of her daughter.Heather Chatterjee: "It's something that will be with me for the rest of my life. But it's ok. I can go on now. "Exercise 3The man widely (1) as Britain's greatest (2) playwright has won this year's Nobel prize for literature.

Mr. Engdahl says Harold Pinter (10) similarly when the call came through from the Nobel( 11 ) informing him of the award..Mr. Engdahl said: "He did not say many words.

"Harold Pinter is best known for his plays, The Birthday Party and The Caretaker.He is widely (13) to have (14) an (15) generation of British writers. Mr. Pinter also has never shied away from (16) political (17) . The human rights (18) _____and anti-war (19) has in recent years been an (20) critic of the war in Iraq.Exercise 4Jobs and work do much more than most of us realize to provide happiness and (1) ____ We're all used to thinking that work provides the (2) ____things of life--the goods and services that make possible our modern (3) .But we are much less (4) of the extent to which work provides the more (5) ___, but more ( 6 ) ____, psychological ( 7 ) that can make the difference between a full and an empty life.Historically, work has been (8) with slavery and sin and(9)_____. And in our own day we are used to hearing the traditional(10) : "I can't wait for my (11) _____ I wish I could stay home today", "My boss treats me poorly", "I've got too much work to do and not enough time to do it". Against this background, it may well come as a surprise to learn that not only psychologists but other (12) scientists have come to accept the positive (13) of work to the individual's happiness and sense of personal (14) . Work is more than a (15) for most human beings; it is the focus of their lives, the source of their identity and creativity.Rather than a burden, work is the (16) to realize one's potential.

Retirement often brings many problems surrounding the "What do I do with myself?" question, even though there may be no (21) cares. Large numbers of people regularly get headaches and other illnesses on weekends when they don't have their jobs to go to, and must fend for (照顾) themselves. It has been observed that unemployment, quite aside from exerting financial pressures, brings enormous psychological troubles and that many individuals deteriorate rapidly when jobless.But why? Why should work be such a significant source of human satisfaction? A good share of the answer rests in the kind of pride that is stimulated by the job, by the activity of accomplishing.I-2单句听写训练1.__________________________________________________A.

At his House of Tayo in Kigali, the Rwanda designer has expanded into African outfits and accessories with a contemporary twist.Rugamba said he is inspired by the looks of the 1960s and the era of African independence, especially the styles of former Congolese Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba and the U.S. civil rights activist Malcolm X.“If you look at the 1960s, that time the independence movement was picking up. That was the perfect blend of West and African style because you’d see Patrice Lumumba wear the bow ties and suits, but you’d see him wearing a leopard skin of some sort of print and I really - that sort of aesthetic really caught my eye, and I used that as a foundation for this brand,” said Rugamba.As Rugamba’s design s find bigger audiences abroad, he is determined to keep manufacturing local, producing all of his accessories through a Kigali-based women’s cooperative where seamstresses say they have a voice in design.“When he first proposed the designs to us, we had trouble adapting and then we got used to it. He shares his ideas with us and accepts our ideas - eventually it became good,” said Mukarukundo, a stylist.“The unique designs that House of Tayo brings will now go hand in hand with the enthusiasm people have for these new products, beginning with the loincloths. Recently, fewer people are buying imported, secondhand products,” said Jeanne, another stylist.Most of Rugamba’s high end designs are too expensive for much of the local market. As he looks to expand from East Africa to North America, he says his No. 1 goal is to make House of Tayo products more affordable for everyone.。

2024年6月大学英语六级听力原文(第2套)Conversation OneI've just bought a new blender.What's that?A blender, you know, a machine that blends food.Uh, yes, of course, the electric kitchen appliance.Exactly, this one is state-of-the-art. I've been meaning to buy one for a while, and I did thorough research on which specific model to get.I read through maybe hundreds of online user reviews. Anyway, it's amazing.Really? What could be so special about it? I mean it's just a blender.Well, basically, it's just a very good one. It feels heavy and sturdy and well made. It also has lots of power and can easily cut and crush practically anything. This way, the soups and juices I make come out really fine and smooth, with no lumpy bits.Um, I see. I have never thought of getting one myself. It sounds like the kind of thing that, for me personally, I would rarely use.I've never had one before, and now that I do. I use it all the time.I make a fresh fruit juice in the morning, maybe not every morning, but3 or4 times a week, and it feels fantastic. It's a really healthy habit.I can imagine that must feel quite satisfying. I can picture you getting all creative in the kitchen and trying out a multitude of different ingredients, and it's obviously going to be healthier than buying packaged juice from a supermarket.It's so much healthier. It's not even close. Did you know that store-bought juice is like 10% sugar?Right, so then you bought it for the health benefits?Mostly yes. Basically, it allows me to have a more varied diet with a far wider assortment of nutrients, because it's not only fruit in my morning juices you see. I can also throw in vegetables, nuts, yogurts, cereals, anything that tickled my fancy.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 1. What does the man say he did before buying the blender?Question 2. What does the woman say she has never thought of doing?Question 3. What does the man say is a really healthy habit?Question 4.What do we learn about store-bought juice from the conversation?Conversation TwoToday we have a very interesting guest.Mr. Thomas Benjamin Grimm, the mayor of Berkton, is here to talk about his job and responsibilities overseeing this charming village.Mr. Grimm, thank you for being here.Thank you for having me.I'd like to start by stating the obvious.Berkton has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country, and this has happened under your watch.Just how did you achieve this?The achievement belongs to all the residents of Berkton.It was a shared effort where everybody pitched in for the communal good.But how did this change happen?In about 10 years, Berkton has gone from a relatively unheard of sleepy village to a must-see destination.Yes, the change has truly been remarkable.Berkton was always fortunate to be endowed with such a beautiful natural allure.The Ambury Hills above the village remain untouched by human development, and the Sonora valley just below it is equally stunning.The transformation commenced in a town hall meeting in spring 2008 over 10 years ago now, when an overwhelming majority of neighbors voted in favor of "Motion 836".This legislative proposal essentially set out to harmonize the aesthetic appearance of all the houses in Berkton.The idea was that if all the properties looked a certain way with shared design features, then a village as a whole would look more beautiful.And it worked.It certainly did.I'm looking now at a before-and-after photo, and the change is truly remarkable.It's hard to believe it's the same place.And how do the neighbors feel now?Great pride I would say.But what about the multitudes of visitors now crowding the streets?Is everyone happy about that?The tourists we receive are a blessing, as they have completely revitalized our local economy.Every visitor is warmly welcome.Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 5.What is the question the woman asked Mr. Grimm after the introduction?Question 6. What do we learn about Berkton of 10 years ago?Question 7.What resulted from the passing of the legislative proposal"Motion 836"?“836号动议”立法提案通过的结果是什么?Question 8. Why does the man say the tourists are a blessing toBerkton?Passage OneResearchers in the US have created a remote-controlled robot that is so small it can walk on the top of a US penny.In research published in the journal Science Robotics, a team at Northwestern University said the crab-like robot is 0.5mm wide.Researchers described it as the smallest ever remote-controlled walking robot.The tiny robot can bend, twist, crawl, walk, turn, and even jump without the use of complex hardware or special power.The engineers said this is because the robot is powered by the elastic property of its body.To construct the robot, the researchers used a shape memory alloy material that transforms to its "remembered" shape when heated.Using a laser, the team is able to heat the robot at specific parts of its body, causing it to change shape.As the robot deforms and goes back to its original shape, it creates movement from one place to another."Because these structures are so tiny, the rate of cooling is very fast,"project lead Professor John A. Rogers said.In fact, reducing the sizes of these robots allows them to run faster.While the research is still in the exploratory phase, the team believes that technology could lead to micro-sized robots that can perform practical tasks in tightly confined spaces."You might imagine micro robots as agents to repair or assemble small structures or machines in industry, or as surgical assistants to clear clogged arteries, to stop internal bleeding, or to eliminate cancerous tumors, all in minimally invasive procedures,"Rogers said.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 9.What does the passage say about a team of researchers at Northwestern University?Question 10.What did the researchers say about the robot they created?Question 11.What do the researchers expect their robots to do in the future?Passage TwoI don't want to boast anything, but I have always considered myself something of an elite sleeper.Given the opportunity, I will sleep for marathon stretches, and can doze through the most extreme situations.On one very rough ferry crossing, on the route to the Isles of Scilly, for example, my traveling companion spent the entire 3-hour- ride throwingup in the bathroom, while I dozed happily on a plastic chair.Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that I am not an elite sleeper after all.It seems I am just lazy, because elite sleepers are defined as the approximately 3 percent of the population who are biologically programmed to need less sleep than the rest of us.According to a study that came out in March, elite sleepers have rare genetic changes, which means they can sleep fewer hours than mere mortals, without any risk of cognitive decline.It may not be possible to change your own genes, but can you train yourself to need less sleep?Is there a non-biological way to reach elite sleeper status?I have spent the past year trying to answer that question.Not for fun, I should add, but because having a baby has severely disrupted my sleep, for which I still have a great passion.For a while, I assumed I'd be forced to become one of those people who jump out of bed at the crack of dawn.After a year of tough scientific study, however, I have discovered being forced to get up early in the morning is very different from being an early bird.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 12.What does the speaker say she did on her ride to the Isles of Scilly?Question 13.What do we learn from the passage about elite sleepers?Question 14.What has the speaker been trying to find out over the past year?Question 15.What has the speaker discovered after a year of tough scientific study?Recording OneIf you read an article about a controversial issue, do you think you'd realize if it had changed your beliefs?No one knows your own mind like you do.It seems obvious that you would know if your beliefs had shifted.And yet, a new paper in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology suggests that we actually have very poor awareness of our own belief change, meaning that we will tend to underestimate how much we've been swayed by a convincing article.The researchers recruited over 200 undergraduates across two studies and focused on their beliefs about whether physical punishment of kids is an effective form of discipline.The students reported their initial beliefs about whether physical punishment is an effective way to discipline a child on the scale from"1. Completely disbelieve" to"9. Completely believe".Several weeks later, they were given one of two research-based texts to read.Each was several pages long and either presented the arguments and data in favour of physical punishment or against it.After this, the students answered some questions to test their comprehension and memory of the text.Then, the students again scored their belief in whether physical punishment is effective or not.Finally, the researchers asked them to recall what their belief had been at the start of the study.The students' belief about physical punishment changed when they read a text that argued against their own initial position.Crucially, the memory of their initial belief was shifted in the direction of their new belief.In fact, their memory was closer to their current belief than their original belief.The more their belief had changed, the larger this memory bias tended to be, suggesting the students were relying on their current belief to deduce their initial belief.The memory bias was unrelated to the measures of how well they'd understood or recalled the text, suggesting these factors didn't play a role in memory of initial belief or awareness of belief change.The researchers concede that this research was about changes to mostly moderate beliefs.It's likely the findings would be different in the context of changes to extreme or deeply held beliefs.However, our beliefs on most topics are in the moderate range, and as we go about our daily lives reading informative material, these intriguing findings suggest we are mostly ignorant of how what we just read has updated and altered our own position.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 16.What does a new paper in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology suggest?Question 17.What happened when the students read a text that argued against their own initial position?Question 18.What did the researchers concede concerning their findings?Recording TwoAs the American population grows, so does the number of American moms.But more than a century after Mother's Day became an official holiday, even as that number increases, the share of the American population who are mothers is at the lowest point in a quarter century.It's frequently noted that fertility rates are falling sharply inricher countries.But the less observed consequence of this trend is that a decline in births can also mean a decline in motherhood in general.According to my analysis of data from the Census Bureau, the decline of American motherhood is real, occurring very quickly, and may continue for some time yet.Not only are moms making up less of the population, but their characteristics are changing too and in a way that might be linked to their proportional decline.Moms today tend to be older than in the past.Just looking at recent years, the change in age-specific birth rates has been drastic.In just the past few years, the peak childbearing age range for American women has advanced from that of 25~29 to that of 30~34.Meanwhile, childbearing among women under 20 has fallen by half or more, while childbearing among women 35 and older is rising.One positive consequence of this age shift is that a larger proportion of new mothers are economically prepared to raise children.Less positively, however, many women find that, as they age, they can't have as many kids as they would like.Plus, having children later in life can increase the risk of health complications.These finer points aside, one major consequence of the older mom's trend is that fewer years of a woman's life are spent as a mother.This means that, at any given time, a larger share of women and thus of the whole population, will report not having children in government surveys.In other words, later motherhood means less motherhood.Even as motherhood rates decline, Mother's Day, of course, will endure.In fact, despite the demographic shift, retail spending on the holiday appears to be rising.It is hard to say if Mother's Day spending is rising more than one would expect, given that the American population keeps growing.But one factor might be that the proportion of women who are the mothers of adult children is rising and those adult children may spend more generously when it comes to celebrating the moms they no longer live with.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 19.What does the speaker conclude from her analysis of the Census Bureau's data?Question 20.What does the speaker say is a positive consequence of the age shift in childbearing?Question 21.What might be one explanation for the rise in retailspending on Mother's Day?Recording ThreeSince NASA published a paper in 1989 claiming that house plants can soak up pollution and toxic chemicals, businesses and homeowners have increasingly invested in greenery to help clean their air.But a new analysis suggests it could actually take more than 1,000 plants per square meter to gain a benefit any greater than simply opening a couple of windows.The problem lies in the fact that NASA conducted their tests in sealed containers that do not simulate the conditions in most people's homes or offices.The space agency was primarily concerned about keeping the air fresh for astronauts cut off in biospheres or space stations, and helping to combat "sick building syndrome" which had become a problem due to the super-insulated and energy-efficient offices of the late 1970s.By the early 1980s, workers regularly complained of skin rashes, sleepiness, headaches, and allergies as they breathed in toxic chemicals from paints and plastics.NASA found that certain plants could remove chemicals from the air, and even today garden centers recommend the plants for air cleaning properties.However, a new evaluation of dozens of studies spanning 30 years found that house plants in a normal environment have little impact.In fact, natural ventilation is far better at cleaning the air.The researchers also calculated the clean air delivery rate for plants in the studies they analyzed and found that the rate at which plants disperse the compounds was well below the usual rate of air exchange in a normal building, caused by the movement of people coming and going, opening doors and windows.Many of the studies did show a reduction in the concentration of volatile organic compounds over time, which is likely why people have seized on them to praise the air purifying virtues of plants.But the researchers' calculations showed it would take 10 to 1,000 plants per square meter of floor space to compete with the air cleaning capacity of a building's air handling system or even just a couple of open windows in a house.In contrast, NASA's sealed experiment recommended one pot plant per 100 square feet.This is certainly an example of how scientific findings can be misleading or misinterpreted over time.But it's also a great example of how scientific research should continually re-examine and question findings to get closer to the ground truth of understanding what's actually happening.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 22.What does NASA's 1989 paper claim house plants can do?Question 23.What is said to be the problem with NASA's study reported in its 1989 paper?Question 24.What is the finding of a new evaluation of dozens of studies spanning 30 years?Question 25.What does NASA's sealed experiment recommendation exemplify in scientists'pursuit of truth?。
