PassageOne

Everyone is looking for a good investment these days. And with stocks, currencies and companies all
crashing, some are finding that taking the trip of a lifetime is actually a smart move right now. Prices are
good, crowds are fewer and the dividends like expanded worldview, lifelong memories, and the satisfaction
of boosting the global economy—can't be easily snatched away. Sylvia and Paul Custer son, a retired couple
from Cambridge, England, recently took a 16-day vacation to Namibia, where they went on bird-watching
excursions. Later this year, they are planning a trip to Patagonia. "We're using our capital now," says Sylvia,
"And why not?We're not getting any interest in the bank. If it's a place we really want to go, then we will go.
Wemay as well travel whilewe're fit and healthy."
Some travel agents are thriving in spite of the economy. "We've had more people booking in the first
quarter of this year than last," says Hubert Moniteau, founder of Solana Travel, which is planning to
introduce a new program of longer adventure trips, including polar expeditions and cruises in the Galápagos.
"We're hearing things like, 'We don't know what the situation will be in six months so let's travel now' ",
Ashley Tuft, managing director of the U. K. tour operator Explore has been surprised to see an increase in
last-minute bookings of high-priced trips to such places as India, Bhutan and Nepal. "It seems people would
rather give up something else than the big trip," he says. Travel has become a necessity. It's just how we
travel that is changing.

PassageTwo

Somehow the old male and female stereotypes no longer fit. Men and women in this country haven't
been fulfilling their traditional roles for some time now. And there seem to be fewer and fewer differences
between the sexes. For instance, even though more women than men are still homemakers without paying
jobs, women have been taking over more responsibility in the business world, earning higher salaries than
ever before and entering fields of work that used to be exclusively male areas. At office meetings and in

and practical ideas than their male colleagues. Several days ago, my 23-year-old daughter came to me with
some important news. Not only had she found the highest paying job of her career, but she'd also accepted a
datewith themost charming men she'd ever met.
“Really?”Iresponded,”tell meabout them.”
“Receptionist in an attorney's office and a welder at a construction site.” She answered in a
matter-of-fact way. The interesting thing is my daughter's date is the receptionist and my daughter is the
welder. The old stereotypes of men's and women's work have been changing more quickly than ever before,
except perhaps in myown marriage.
“Who's going to mowthelawn?”I asked my husbandthis morning.
“Oh, I will,” heanswered politely.”That's men's work.”
“What?” Irritated, I raised my voice. “That's a ridiculous stereotype. I'll show you who can do the best
jobonthe lawn.”
Thework took 3hours and Idid it all myself.

PassageThree
听力原文
Florence Hayes is a journalist for the Green Ville Journal, the daily newspaper in town. Specifically she
covers crime in the Green Ville area. This responsibility takes her too many different places every
week——the police station, the court and the hospital. Most of the crimes that she writes about fall into two
groups: violent crimes and crimes against property. There isn't much violent crime in a small town like
Green Ville, or at least not as much as in the large urban areas. But assaults often occur on Friday and
Saturday nights, near the bars downtown.There're also one or two rapes on campus every semester. Florence
is very interested in this type of crime and tries to write a long article about each one. She expects that this
willmake women more careful when theywalk around GreenVille aloneat night
Fortunately, there were usually no murders in Green Ville. Crimes against property make up most of
Miss Heyse' reporting. They range from minor cases of deliberate damaging of things to much more serious
offenses, such as car accidents involving drunk drivers or bank robberies but Florence has to report all of
these violations from the thief who took typewriters from every unlock room in the dormitory to the thief
who stole one million dollars worth of art work from the university museum. Miss Hayes enjoys working for
a newspaper but she sometimes gets unhappy about all the crime she has to report. She would prefer to start
writing about somethingmore interesting and less unpleasant such as local news orpolitics, maybe nextyear

Section CCompound Dictation
听力原文
In America, people are faced with more and more decisions every day, whether it's picking one of
thirty-one ice cream flavors, or deciding whether and when to get married. That sounds like a great thing,
but as a recent study has shown, too many choices can make us confused, unhappy, even paralyzed with
indecision. ‘That's particularly true when it comes to the work place', says Barry Schwartz, an author of six
books about human behavior. Students are graduating with a variety of skills and interests, but often find
themselves overwhelmed when it comes to choosing an ultimate career goal. In a study, Schwartz observed
decision-making among college students during their senior year. Based on answers to questions regarding
their job hunting strategies and career decisions, he divided the students into two groups：Maximizes, who
consider every possible option, and satisfiers who look until they find an option that is good enough. You
might expect that the student who had undertaken the most exhausted search would be the most satisfied
with their final decision, but it turns out that's not true. Schwartz found that while maximizes ended up with
better-paying jobs than satisfiers on average, they weren't as happy with their decision. The reason why
these people feel less satisfied is that a world of possibilities may also be a world of missed opportunities.
When you look at every possible option, you tend tofocus more on what was given upthan what was gained.
After surveying every option, a person is more acutely aware of the opportunities they had to turn down to
pursuejust onecareer.
