The over-fifties watch on average for 17 hours a week. Television is divided between BBC1, BBC2 and the commercial station, ITV.

Programmes before 9 pm are also suitable for children, so programmes with scenes of violence or sex are usually shown after this time. Most viewers in Britain switch off the television after about 10:30 and go to bed.

In the 1700s an agricultural revolution took place which led to a large increase in the production of crops. This increase of crops came about in a large part by little more than the final destruction of medieval institutions and the more general adoption of techniques and crops which had been known for a long time. Included in some of these changes was also the adoption of crops from the "new world" such as corn and potatoes which produced a very large yield. In the 1850s, the industrial revolution spilled over to the farm with new mechanized methods which increased production rates. Early on, the large changes were in the use of new farm implements. Most of these early implements were still powered by horses or oxen. These new implements combined with crop rotation, manure and better soil preparation led to a steady increase of crop yield in Europe. The advent of steam power and later gas powered engines brought a whole new dimension to the production of crops. Yet, even as recently as 100 years ago, four fifths of the world population lived outside towns and were in some way dependant on agriculture.

Task 10 【原文】 "The astronauts are returning to earth at exactly 5:24. Splashdown will be in the Pacific, 427ciles west of Hawaii." You have often heard announcements like this on television. Scientists can tell us exactly when pace-capsule will arrive on the moon, for instance, and exactly when it will return. They can calculate things like this to the nearest second. How do they do it? Well, of course, they use mathematics. We can all do simple sums on paper, but we must use computers for extremely difficult calculations. Perhaps you have seen mechanical calculating machines in banks and offices. Computers aren?t mechanical. They don?t have wheels and gears in them. Instead, they work on electrical circuits and can do difficult calculations at tremendous speed. They can work 100 million times faster than the human mind!

In the future, with constantly changing technology, it is countries with much younger populations that will succeed, rather than the major industrial nations like Japan, the USA and Germany. 2) According to Angela Seligman, one of the problems is that a relatively small working population will have to support a large number of unproductive retired people. And “younger” countries will be more competitive in the world market than “elderly” countries. Another problem is that huge sums will have to be spent on health and welfare facilities for these old people.

Task 8 【原文】 In many countries the status of women has improved considerably over the last 50 years. Although there are still relatively few women in senior business positions, many women pursue their careers in much the same way that men do. In the UK, men?s behavior towards women has had to change. For example, men must be careful when they talk about a woman?s appearance; some women may find a complimentary remark sexist. Many women prefer not to be referred to as "ladies"; they prefer the more neutral "women". Many women are naturally sensitive about typically male jokes. There are areas of social interaction where men now feel uncertain how to behave. Twenty years ago would always open doors for women; nowadays some women might find this action patronizing.

Task 9 【原文】 "A manager?s job is really all about understanding and working with people," Dan says. "Most of my time is spent in getting to know the people who work in the Marketing Division.

If the work is not something the person likes to do, the person will not be happy. And if the person is not happy, the job will not be done well. One day Dan was talking with Mary and they were discussing people and their jobs. Dan asked, „Mary, how would you describe your job?" Mary answered quickly, "My job is to know what our customers want and to help them get it by using our products." Dan said, "That?s beautiful. You?ve told me what you?re supposed to accomplish.

The inches we need are everywhere around us. They?re in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team, we fight for that inch.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum organized an exhibit about John Lennon. Visitors can see hundreds of objects from Lennon?s life. There are reports from his teachers when he was a boy about his school work. More than thirty paintings and drawings he made throughout his life are shown: the suit he wore as a member of the Beatles, his guitars and piano, and the handwritten words for twenty-five of his most famous songs. John Lennon helped form the Beatles in the 1960s. The group changed the sound of rock and roll music. Later, John Lennon wrote songs that expressed his efforts for truth, peace and human rights.

Both her time ands energy are subject to many limitations. People still consider the raising s, rather than the father’s responsibility. For a of a child to be mainly the mother’ mother to sacrifice her own opportunities for professional advancement in order to care for her child is a matter of course. For example, a father leaving the country to study while the mother stays behind to raise their child is a common occurrence. Yet, if it were the mother who left the country in order to study, while the father took on the responsibility of raising their child, people would generally consider it to be a great sacrifice for him and a extremely pitiful situation. Moreover, it is generally the mother who is often made to feel guilty, and who, at times, abandons opportunities for study or advancement professionally.

Task 9 【原文】 There?s been a perception that the recent rise in oil prices was because of the situation in Iraq and because of speculation—that is, temporary factors. Officials in G7 now say, though, that oil is scarcer than previously thought. In other words, that there?s a longer-term shortage pushing prices up. On top of that, they recognize that strong Chinese economic growth will put more pressure on scarce supplies. As the G7-plus-China meeting gets under way, ministers from Britain and Germany want efforts made to get more information out to try to diminish the large amount of speculation in the oil market. Last time the G7 ministers met, the British finance minister led an attempt to talk the price down by urging producers to increase supply. The exhortation had little effect, with the price rising anyway. Now it seems that ministers may be accepting that we?re moving into a world of permanently higher oil prices that will dampen economic growth.
