听力原文：W: Good morning, Mr.Tim.It's a long time since I had the pleasure of a visit for you.
M: Yes, it must be three or four years. I haven't visited you since I called about my will. You helped me with that, you remember？
W: Yes, I remember. Do you want to make any changes in your will？
M: I don't think that will be necessary, but you'll tell me if it is. I left everything, you remember, to my wife, and after her death, to my son Jerry. I've about $15,000 in shares of industrial companies. These bring in, after paying tax, about ＄1,125 a year. Well, I'm earning a good salary now, and I shall get a good pension from my employers, so my wife and I can live fairly comfortably with this extra income, I want to buy some land and build a house for my son; he will need a house when he gets married. I'm thinking of building one and giving it to him.
W: Your son's lucky. So you want my help buying the land and building the house.
M: Yes, that's right. As soon as you've done what's necessary for buying the land, Jerry and I will see an architect.
W: Have you found a plot yet？
M: Jerry was in Edinburgh last Saturday and saw a plot he likes. My wife and I went there two days ago, and we liked it, too. I'd like you to make the necessary inquiries for me.
W: I'd be pleased to do that. I shall have to write to the Local Authority and inquire whether it is allowed to build a house on your piece of land. You've not allowed to build a house without permission from the Planning Authority. And sometimes the Authority decides that a house must be built of stone, and not of brick, so that it doesn't spoil the surrounding village.

Tattoos didn't spring up with the biker gangs and rock 'n' roll bands. They've been around for a long time and had many different meanings over the course of history.
For years, scientists believed that Egyptians and Nubians were the first people to tattoo their bodies. Then, in 1991, a mummy was discovered, dating back to the Bronze Age of about 3,300 B.C. "The Iceman," as the specimen was called, had several markings on his body, including a cross on the inside of his knee and lines on his ankle and back. It is believed these tattoos were made in a curative (治病的) effort.
Being so advanced, the Egyptians reportedly spread the practice of tattooing throughout the world. The pyramid-building third and fourth dynasties of Egypt developed international nations with Crete, Greece', Persia and Arabia. The art tattooing stretched out all the way to Southeast Asia by 2,000 B.C.
Around the same time, the Japanese became interested in the art but only for its decorative attributes, as opposed to magical ones. The Japanese tattoo artists were the undisputed masters. Their use of colors, perspective, and imaginative designs gave the practice a whole new angle. During the first millennium A.D., Japan adopted Chinese culture in many aspects and confined tattooing to branding wrongdoers.
In the Balkans, the Thracians had a different use for the craft. Aristocrats, according to Herodotus, used it to show the world their social status.
Although early Europeans dabbled with tattooing, they truly rediscovered the art form. when the world exploration of the post-Renaissance made them seek out new cultures. It was their meeting with Polynesian that introduced them to tattooing. The word, in fact is derived from the Polynesian word tattau, which means "to mark."
Most of the early uses of tattoos were ornamental. However, a number of civilizations had practical applications for this craft. The Goths, a tribe of Germanic barbarians famous for pillaging Roman settlements, used tattoos to mark their slaves. Romans did the same with slaves and criminals.
In Tahiti, tattoos were a rite of passage and told the history of the person's life. Reaching adulthood, boys got one tattoo to commemorate the event. Men were marked with another style. when they got married.
Later, tattoos became the souvenir of choice for globe-trotting sailors. Whenever they would reach an exotic locale, they would get a new tattoo to mark the occasion. A dragon was a famous style. that meant the sailor had reached a "China station." At first, sailors would spend their free time on the ship tattooing themselves and their mates. Soon after, tattoo parlors were set up in the area, surrounding ports worldwide.
In the middle of the 19th century, police officials believed that half of the criminal underworld in New York City had tattoos. Port areas were renowned for being rough places flail of sailors that were guilty of some crime or another. This is most likely how tattoos got such a bad reputation and became associated with rebels and criminals.

听力原文：When was the last time that you were able to make a long-distance call for free？
听力原文： When was the last time that you were able to make a long-distance call for free？ If you said "never", you probably have not been introduced to VOIP or Voice Over Internet Protocol. But, is this new technology as efficient as its counterpart, analog telephone service？ Since the demand for world-wide communication has grown, the internet has become the most popular way of communicating. Although Communication via e-mail seemed to be the cheapest way to do business with those overseas, it wasn't always the most effective. Verbal communication is the best way to build strong relationships and eventually," close the deal". When compared to analog phone service, VOIP is cheaper and has the same quality of service. Since VOIP uses a single network to transfer voice and data, the overall cost per call is cheaper to the service prodder than using two separate networks. When voice and data are transferred together on a single network, the service providers only need to build and maintain one network, thus hire less staff. These companies have also learned to manage both voice traffic and data applications correctly to reduce any sacrifice in quality. Although there is a monthly charge for the service, VOIP phones cost about the same as a regular business phone. With all of its benefits, VOIP should take the place of analog telephone service within a few years.
What does VOIP refer to？
A．An Internet forum.
B．A technology of telephone service.
C．Communication via e-mail.
D．An Internet conference.

Suicide has been a cause of concern in most societies for a long time. The classical Greeks, for example, required people who wanted to kill themselves to get permission from the senate. While this law is not without humor by today&39; s standards, it clearly shows an awareness of the problem in times gone by.
In today&39; s society, suicide is much more prevalent than we want to admit. Why do people try to take their own lives？
The motives for suicide can be categorized into areas such as a failure, wrath（暴怒）, the needfor attention, stress, and so on. However, the qualities of a person who wants to take his own life change from person to person, making it difficult to depict（描写）the typical victim. To make the problem even more confusing, people will often camouflage（掩盖）their true feelings, thus causing their friends to disregard problems that should be viewed as serious.
In the United States, a network of centers has been created to attempt to prevent suicides.People who are bitter, worded, or depressed are encouraged to contact workers at these centers. These workers, often trained volunteers, offer benevolent advice to the callers, trying to help the callers to see that suicide as a solutions to problems is an illusion. The accomplishments of these centers, insofar（到这个程度）as their effectiveness to reduce suicide is concerned, are minimal However, they have helped a lot of people with a wide variety of problems.So, in the somewhat amorphous（难以名状的）area of man helping his fellow man, they are certainly a success.
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article？
A.The classical Greeks did not know the existence of suicide
B.Suicide has always been prevalent in all parts of the world
C.In today’s society, there are quite a number of people who commit suicide
D.Nowadays suicide is not as common as it was in the past
Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a motive for suicide？A.Insanity
B.Pressure
C.The need for attention
D.Great anger
Which of the following statements is NOT true？A.People who want to take their own lives often disguise their feelings
B.It is difficult to describe what kind of people tend to commit suicide
C.Suicide has been a problem in most societies since ancient times
D.People who commit suicide all share certain characteristics
The word “benevolent” means （）A.relevant
B.kind
C.serious
D.effective
The third paragraph mainly tells us that （）A.a network of centers has been quite effective in reducing suicide
B.a network of centers has been quite successful in reducing suicide
C.people are making efforts to help those who tend to commit suicide and in a way, they are successful
D.in theUnited States, people who want to commit suicide call a network of centers to get help
