The following ways might help improve their listening ability.First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a proper course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure you understand the first one.Secondly, stick to (坚持) one course of study. Dont change books often. Never let your attention be attracted（吸引） by another course just because it seems to be more fashionable (时髦).Thirdly, listen to the English news program over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English news on the radio.Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in Special English from the VOA or other listening materials(材料) of the same level as that of your textbook.56.

During the hours when you labor through your work, you may say that you are “hot”. That is true. The time of day when you feel most energetic (full of energy) is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak (top). For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so.Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what this energy cycle means and which cycle each member of the family has. You cannot change your cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habits can help, Dr. Cleiman believes. If your energy cycle is low in the morning but you have an important job early in the day, rise before your usual hour, and then, you will work better at your low point. Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn (哈欠) and stretch（伸懒腰）. Sit on the edge of the bed before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome searching for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.60. Dr. Cleiman does not explain in the passage _. A. how people can make their life fit their cycle B. what will happen in the family if the couple fail to realize which cycle each member has C. whether everyone has a daily cycle or not D. why people have different energy cycle61. Why do many husbands and wives quarrel with each other according to the passage?. A. They do not know what energy cycle is and which cycle the other has. B. Either of them gets up late in the morning. C. Husbands and wives have different sleep time. D. Either of them wants to change the cycle of the other.62. According to the passage_. A. one can change his energy cycle B. one should get up earlier than usual if he wants to work better at his low point in the morning C. whenever you feel hot, your energy cycle reaches the highest D. your energy cycle must be in the morning if you can get up early63. Which of the following can save your energy in the morning? A. Getting up late.B. Jumping out of bed as quickly as possible.C. Looking for clean clothes. D. Sitting for a while before getting out of bed.CRecently, a couple in New Zealand was not allowed to name their baby son 4 RealEven though New Zealand has quite liberal(自由的) rules about naming children, a name beginning with a number is not allowed In many countries, unusual names for children are becoming more popular, especially as more and more stars give their children special namesIn Britain，you can call a child almost anything you like except dirty words Some parents choose names which come from popular culture. For example, there have been six boys named Gandalf after the character in the Lord of the Rings novels and filmsEqually, names about sports are very commonSince 1984, 36 children have been called Arsenal after the football team Other parents like to make up names, or combine two names to make a special one, a way used by Jordan, the British model, who recently invented the name Tiaammi for her daughter by combining the names Thea and Amy(the two grandmothers)She said that the accent and double letters were added to make the name more special In China，there are some rules about what you may call a childno foreign letters or symbols are allowedFor example，a couple is not allowed to name their baby. Other countries have much stricter rules when it comes to naming children. Countries including Japan, Denmark, Spain, Germany and Argentina have a list of names from which parents must choose In Britain,some names which were once considered oldfashioned(过时的) have become popular again, such as Maisie or Ella for a girl, or Alfie or Noah for a boyBut the most popular names are not the strange ones.

Ruby is now a very popular name for a girlDSome unusual words describe how a person spends his or her time.For example, someone who likes to spend a lot of time sitting or lying down while watching television is sometimes called a couch potato. A couch is a piece of furniture that people sit on while watching television. Robert Armstrong, an artist from California, developed the term couch potato in 1976.Several years later, he listed the term as a trademark with the United States government. Too much time inside the house using a computer or watching television can cause someone to get cabin fever（情绪不安的）.A cabin is a simple house usually built far away from the city.People go to a cabin to relax and enjoy quiet time. Cabin fever is not really a disease.However, people can experience boredom and restlessness if they spend too much time inside their homes.This is especially true during the winter when it is too cold or snowy to do things outside. Often children get cabin fever when there is so much snow that schools and even offices and stores are closed. Some people enjoy spending a lot of time in their homes to make them nice places to live.This is called nesting or cocooning（茧）. Birds build nests out of sticks to hold their eggs and baby birds. Some insects build cocoons around themselves for protection while they grow and change.The terms cocooning and nesting became popular more than twenty years ago.They describe people buying their first homes and filling them with many things.These people then had children. Now these children are grown and have left the nest.Now these parents are living alone without children in their empty nest.They have become empty nesters.68.
