听力原文： Most people know what a hotdog is. It's a sausage in a roll. But do you know why it's called a hotdog？ (11) Well, the long red sausage which goes into a hotdog is called a frankfurter. It got its name from the German town Frankfurt. The sausages were very popular, but hot frankfurters were difficult to sell in crowds. (12) One man, Harry Stevens, had the job of feeding the crowds in baseball games. He had an idea. Why not put the frankfurters in long, hot bread rolls？ This made them easy to sell. The "red hot" had a hot and attractive taste and became very popular. (13) But in 1903, an American cartoonist drew a long German sausage dog in place of the frankfurter so a frankfurter in a roll soon became known as a "hot dog". It was a joke, but some people really thought the sausages contained dog meat. For a while, sales of hotdogs failed, but not for long.

听力原文：M: Hey, Jane. Have you been to the new library yet？
W: Oh, hi, Tom. Yes, I went last week to check it out. I really like it.
M: Yes, I like it too. I like the study areas. (1) There seems to be a lot of room to just spread out and focus on the books. It's way better than the old library where it seemed like we were all jammed into one area.
W: You're right. (1/3)The only bad thing about it is that it's pretty far away. (2)It takes me about twenty minutes to get there by bus.
M: I was thinking that too. It's too bad it takes so long to get there. I don't like being dependent on the buses. Have you tried riding your bike there？ It might take a little longer but at least you're getting a bit of exercise.
W: That's a good idea, Tom. Maybe I'll try riding this week. I just have to make sure I'm good and rested. Sometimes, when I'm overtired I'm not too coordinated. Knowing me, I'd have a load of books in my backpack and get distracted by something and crash my bike.
M: Hmm. Well, you've just got to keep an eye out for those potholes. Oh, wow. Look at the time ! I've got to get to my next class. I'll see you around.
W: Good talking to you, Tom. I'll be seeing you.

听力原文： The New York Philharmonic orchestra performed in North Korea's capital, Pyongyang, this week. It was the first performance by an American symphony orchestra in the communist state. More than one hundred performers made the trip to Pyongyang, led by the Philharmonic's musical director, Lorin Maazel. The historic event was broadcast live on television and radio in North Korea. It can also be seen on the Internet. More than one thousand North Koreans attended the concert Tuesday night. North Korean leader Kim Jong-il did not attend. However, other top North Korean officials did.

听力原文： (20) To most of us, sharks are the most dangerous fish in the sea and they attack humans. However, according to Doctor Clark, who has studied the behavior. of sharks for twelve years, humans are not normally on the sharks' menu. What do sharks feed on, mainly fish and other sea animals？ (18) Doctor Clark also found that sharks don't eat as much food as people think. For instance, a nine-year-old shark only needs two pounds of food a day to keep healthy. But she says, sharks sometimes starve and at other times they fill themselves with what they have killed. Around the world, there are only about one hundred shark attacks on humans each year, ten of which proved fatal. But consider this, in the U. S. alone, about three million people are bitten by dogs each year. Of these, thirty people die. If sharks bite you, says Doctor Clark, the reason is usually because of mistaking you for its natural food. For example, say you went underwater-fishing and saw a shark, you could be in trouble. The shark might go for the injured fish you had attacked and take a bite of you at the same time. (19) If you go into a shark's territory and threaten it, it might try to bite you. That's because sharks are territorial and tend to guard their territory. Like dogs, they protect the area they think is their own.
What does the passage say about the eating behavior. of sharks？
A scientist who wants to predict the way in which consumers will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain 【C1】______ both on resources of consumers and on the motives that 【C2】______ to encourage or discourage money spending.

This shows us that traditional 【C7】______ about earning and spending are not always 【C8】______ . Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up, they will 【C9】______ to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. 【C10】______ research surveys have shown that this is not always 【C11】______ The expectations of price increases may not stimulate buying. One 【C12】______ attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic at a time of rising prices. Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this purchase. 【C13】______ , the rise in prices that has already taken place may be resented and buyer's resistance may be evoked.
The 【C14】______ mentioned above was carried out in America. Investigations 【C15】______ at the same time in Great Britain, however, yielded results that were more 【C16】______ traditional assumptions about saving and spending patterns. The condition most contributive to spending 【C17】______ to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are 【C18】______ , they are likely to buy.
