听力原文: It's generally agreed that serious, violent crime has reached alarming proportions in the United States. A survey by the Law En forcemeat Assistance Administration found that 61% of all women feel unsafe in their own neighborhoods at night; that 45% of the population is afraid to walk alone at night near their own homes; and that 47% own guns, large for self-protection.
Those arrested for crimes and disproportionately likely to be male, young, a member of a racial minority, and a city resident. Males are arrested about four times as often as females. Only in juvenile runaway cases and prostitution are females more often atoned. One is the sex role stereotyping which encourages males to be more aggressive and daring, while females am encouraged to he nacre passive and conforming to the rules and norms. The second reason is the tendency of police officers and the calms to deal more kindly with female offender. However, it should be noted, in the past decade, crime among females has been increasing at much faster rate than among males, a negative side effect which has been attributed to women challenging the traditional sex role. of passivity and conformity.

听力原文: Robert Edwards was blinded in an automobile accident nine years ago. He was also partially deaf because of old age. Last week, he was strolling near his home when a thunderstorm approached. He took refuge under a tree and was struck by lightning. He was knocked to the ground and woke up some 20 minutes later, lying face down in water below a tree. He went into the house and lay down is bed. A short time later, he woke, his legs were numb mid he was trembling, but, when he opened his eyes, he could see the clock across the room fading in and out in front of him. When his wife entered, he met her for the first time in nine years. Doctors confirm that he has regained his sight and hearing apparently from the flash of lightning, but they are unable to explain the occurrence. The only possible explanation offered by one doctor was that, since Edwards lost his sight as a result of emotional shock in a terrible accident, perhaps the only way it could be restored by another emotional shock.
