听力原文：W: You know, I've often wondered why people laugh at the picture of a big belly b

usinessman slipping on a banana skin and falling on his bottom. We are to feel sorry for him.

M: Actually, Laura, I think we laugh because we are glad it didn't happen to us. But of course there is also a kind of humorous satisfaction in seeing somebody self-important making a fool of themselves.

W: Yes, and then there are a lot of jokes about people who are too fat or physically handicapped, you know, deaf, or short-sighted, things like that. After all, it's not really funny to be like that.

M: Oh, I think that's because we're embarrassed. We don't know how to cope with the situation. Perhaps we are even a bit frightened we might get like that, so we laugh. What about the custard pie routine？

W: What do you mean "custard pie routine"？

M: You know, all those old films where someone gets so outraged with his boss, he picks up a custard pie and plasters it all over the other person's face.

W: That never makes me laugh very much, because you can guess it's going to happen. But a lot of people still find it laughable. It must be because it's the sort of the thing we'd all love to do once in a while and never quite have the courage to.

M: I had an old aunt who used to throw cups of tea at people when she was particularly irritated. She said it relieved her feelings.

W: It must have come a bit expensive.

听力原文： Some of the most practical lessons coming out of research in psychology are the

area of memory. People ask, why can't I remember that term from the physical charge or the library books in due？ Of a lot of people, memory may be weak, because they don't use it enough. It's like a muscle if you don't exercise it, it won't get strong. That's why it's important to keep our mind active, to keep on learning throughout our life, we can do this by reading, playing memory game and seeking out new experiences. It's my guess though that the lack of mental stimulation isn't a problem for students like you. More likely, the life you're in is so busy and stimulating that it's itself may sometime interfere with learning, later on we will be discussing how information is recorded from memory. But, first, the information needs to be recorded, in other words, learned. And for busy people like you and me, that will be the real problem off the lines. If we are distracted, or we are trying to think what we are going to do next, the incoming message just might not be getting recorded effectively~ And that leads to the first tip for students who want to improve their memories. Give your full attention to the information you hope to retain. Research clearly shows the advantages of this, and also of active learning, of consciously trying to visualize a new fact, perhaps to make a mental picture, even a wildly ridiculous one, so the new fact will stick in memory. Let me illustrate that for you here a little more concretely.

What's the talk mainly about？

A．Factors that affect the ability to remember.

B．The influence of childhood memories on adulthood.

C．A proposal for future psychological research.

D．Benefits of a busy lifestyle.

听力原文： Why do people smoke？ One reason is that people become dependent on cigarettes. T

he substance which people cannot resist in cigarettes is nicotine. when people smoke the nicotine goes directly into the blood stream and makes people feel relaxed. A smoker's body gets accustomed to the nicotine and if he stops smoking he feels nervous. Many smokers try to stop smoking but because of their dependence on nicotine they feel so uncomfortable that they often find it too hard to stop.

Another reason is that people simply enjoy smoking and what it symbolizes. Having a cigarette for many people means taking a break. For some people smoking becomes part of certain social forms, for example, the cigarette after dinner. Many people enjoy smoking because it makes their hands busy.

Many people also like the taste of tar in cigarettes. However, it is the tar that causes cancer. While governments and health experts have tried to make people give up smoking entirely, cigarette manufacturers have to keep selling them by producing cigarettes with less tar. Many people in western countries have welcomed these cigarettes since they find it difficult to stop smoking but want to reduce the risk to their health.

Why do so many people become dependent on cigarettes？

A．Because they like the taste of tar.

B．Because smoking makes them feel relaxed.

C．Because smoking is fun to them.

D．Because smoking cures them of cancer.
