听力原文： In the past few years, telephones in cars have become increasingly popular in the United States. At first, they were very costly; and then they cost less, so many people are now buying and using them. Police say people with car phones can report crimes and help catch criminals.

In the southern State of Florida, more than 125,000 people have telephones in their cars. Almost one car in every 30 has a telephone. A man in a big city of Florida is one of these car phone owners. One evening as he arrived home, he saw two people he did not know leaving the house next door. He called the police on his car telephone and followed the strangers in his car. The police caught the two men. A woman in another city of Florida saw a man shooting at another man during an attempt of robbery. She called the police on her car phone and followed the gunman as he fled in a car. She told the police and the police stopped the man and caught him.

Many people use their car phones to report other drivers who seem to have drunk too much wine. They also report accidents. This helps doctors and nurses get to an accident sooner to provide medical aid. All those car telephones are like having so many more sets of eyes and ears on the road. They help police to do their jobs better. Car phones also help drivers find the best way to get to a place. In some Florida cities, car phone owners can make free calls to radio stations to report when accidents occur or when too many cars block roads. The stations then broadcast warnings to other drivers to find different roads to use.

听力原文： Mrs. Black was having a lot of trouble with her skin, so she went to her doctor about it. He could not find any thing wrong with her and at last gave her a list of the things that he thought she should not eat, as any of them might be the cause of her skin trouble. Mrs. Black carefully put the list beside the telephone while she went out to a ladies' meeting. When she got back home two hours later, she found her husband was waiting for her. He had a big basket full of packages beside him, and when he saw her, he said, "Hello, dear, I have done all your shopping for you."

"Done all my shopping?" she asked in surprise, "But how did you know what I wanted? ""Well, when I got home, I found your shopping list beside the telephone", answered her husband, "So I went to the shops and bought everything you had written down."

Passage 1

Question 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

According to a recent survey, employees in many companies today work longer hours than employee did in 1979. It seems that Americans are working harder today than ever before. Or are they? A management consultant, Bill Meyer, decided to find out. For three days, he observed an investment banker hard at work. Meyer wrote down everything the banker did during his long workday. At the end of the three-day period, Meyer reviewed the banker’s activities with him. What did they find out? They discover that the man spent 80 percent of his time doing unnecessary work. For example, he attended unnecessary meetings, made redundant （多余的）telephone calls, and spent time packing and unpacking his two big briefcases.

(76) Apparently, many people believe that the more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes. When employers evaluate employees, they often consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance. Employees know this. Although many working people can do their job effectively during a regular 40-hour work week, they feel they have to spend more time on the job after normal working hours so that the people who can promote them see them.

A group of headhunters （猎头）were asked their opinion about a situation. They had a choice of two candidates for an executive position with an important company. The candidates had similar qualifications for the job. For example, they were both reliable. One could do the job well in a 40-hour work week. The other would do the same job in an 80-hour work week just as well. According to a headhunting expert, the 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job. The time this candidate spends on the job may encourage other employees to spend more time at work, too. Employers believe that if the employees stay at work later, they may actually do more work.

However, the connection between time and productivity （生产率） is not always positive. (77) In fact, many studies indicate that after a certain point, anyone’s productivity and creativity begin to decrease. Some employees are nor willing to spend so much extra, unproductively time at the office. Once they finish their work satisfactory, they want to relax and enjoy themselves. For these people, the solution is find a company that encourages people to do both.

C Most Americans work 80 hours a week, and some work even longer.
