听力原文： The traditional American family used to have a working father, a housewife-mother, and two or three children. But in the last 25 years, this picture has changed. Now we have many different kinds of families and living situations besides this traditional one. For example, there are many single mothers and single fathers who are raising children by themselves. There are married couples who decide that they don't want any children. Sometimes adult children who have been living alone for a long time come back and live with their parents again. You can also find groups of older people sharing a house in order to save money. And there are many other examples of new types of families in this country.

Why has the traditional family changed so much? Well, the reasons are both social and economic. First, as you know, the divorce rate is high in our culture; as a result, we have many single-parent families. Second, there is unemployment among young adults. If they cannot find a job, many times they return home and live with their parents again. But of course the most important reason for the changes in the American family is all American women are now working or looking for work. This means that more than half of all American homes do not have a full-time homemaker any more.

A．Traditional American family.

B．Modern American family.

C．Women's role in American family.

D．Changes in the American families and reasons.

People take photographs for a 【C1】______ of reasons but the most 【C2】______ is to make a record of something in order to show others and to look back on in times to come. The subject is the sole reason for taking pictures like these and aesthetic standards are not usually a consideration as long as the image is sharp and clear. 【C3】______ for those us who call ourselves photographers the situation is often 【C4】______ and the subject becomes 【C5】______ much less importance than the visual and photographic quality of the image.

I've just spent a few days in Paris and have returned home without a single picture of the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe or Notre Dame. Why? Because during the time of my visit the weather and the 【C6】______ would not have produced the sort of quality and atmosphere I wanted my photographs to have. If I'd simply wanted a visual record of these places I would have been much better 【C7】______ buying a postcard. On the other hand I did take a shot of some wet cobblestones that I'm pretty pleased with, although as a visual memento of Paris it leaves something 【C8】______ .

It's not unreasonable to ask why taking a photograph of wet cobblestones should be more 【C9】______ to me than shooting a beautiful building like Notre Dame. The answer is that the former was rich in many of the key visual elements which give an image that elusive eye-catching quality, whereas, on the day of my visit, Notre Dame was noticeably 【C10】______ them.

As a travel photographer I often find myself in beautiful places knowing that what I'm seeing and experiencing is simply not going to make a striking photograph and I 【C11】______ find that very frustrating. But it's important to be able to recognise this. It's sad when you have to make excuses for a photograph. It was stunning but the photograph just hasn't come 【C12】______ very well. It was probably not there to begin with and building a reputation as a photographer has as much to do with the photographs you don't take as it has with 【C13】______ you do.

Our vision is greatly influenced by factors which cannot be recorded on film, such as sounds, smells and even our mood. I'm sure you've taken what you thought would be great pictures 【C14】______ stimulated by an exciting event, a beautiful view, or simply when enjoying yourself, only to find that your pictures have captured nothing of what you believed to be 【C15】______ . I know I have.

听力原文： For all its benefits, television's influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that commercials lie in order to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe and want to imitate what they see. They do believe that they will make more friends if they use a certain soap, or some other product. By the time they are out of high school, most young people have watched about 15,000 hours of television, and have seen about 18,000 killings or other acts of violence. How could they be choked to see the same in real life? All educators and psychologists agree that they "television generations" are more violent than their parents and grandparents. It is certain that television has deeply transformed our lives and our society. It is certain that, along with its benefits, it has brought enormous problems. To those problems we must soon find a solution because—whether we like it or not—television is here to stay.
