18、ey are most popular with college students.D.They give people ideas of changing jobs.解析：听力原文 Moderator: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honor to introduce our speaker for today“s lecture, Dr. Martin Parker. Dr. Parker, Professor of Sociology at Northwestern University, has written numerous
19、 articles and books on the career life, especially for those new graduates. Welcome, Dr. Parker. Dr. Parker: Thank you. Today, I“m glad to give some useful advice to college graduates. First one is that don“t worry about making your dreams come true. College graduates are often told: “follow your pa
20、ssion“, do “what you love“, what you were “meant to do“, or “make your dreams come true“. Two-thirds think they“re going to fend a job that allows them to change the world, half within five years. This sets young people up to fail. The truth is that the vast majority of us will not be employed in a
21、job that is both our lifelong passion and a world-changer; that“s just not the way our global economy is. So it“s okay to set your sights just a tad below occupational ecstasy. Just find a job that you like. Use that job to help you have a full life with lots of good things and pleasure and helping
22、others and stuff. A great life is pretty good, even if it“s not perfect. Make friends. Americans put far too much emphasis on finding Mr. or Ms. Right and getting married. We think this will bring us happiness. In fact, however, both psychological well-being and health are more strongly related to f
23、riendship. If you have good friends, you“ll be less likely to get the common cold, less likely to die from cancer, recover better from the loss of a spouse, and keep your mental acuity as you age. You“ll also feel more capable of facing life“s challenges, be less likely to feel depressed or commit s
24、uicide, and be happier in old age. Having happy friends increases your chance of being happy as much as an extra $145,500 a year does. So, make friends! Don“t take your ideas about marriage too seriously. If you do get married, keep going with the flow. Relationship satisfaction, financial security,
25、 and happy kids are more strongly related to flexibility in the face of life“s challenges than any particular way of organizing families. The most functional families are ones that can bend. So partnering with someone who thinks that one partner should support their families and the other should tak
26、e responsibility for the house and children is a recipe for disaster. So is being equally rigid about non-traditional divisions of labor. It“s okay to have ideas about how to organize your family but your best bet for happiness is to be flexible. Think hard about whether to buy a house. Our current
27、image of the American Dream revolves around homeownership, and buying a home is often taken for granted as a stage on the path to full-fledge adulthood. But the ideal of universal home ownership was born in the 1950s. It“s a rather new idea. With such a short history, it“s funny that people often in
28、sist that buying a house is a fool-proof investment and the best way to secure retirement. In fact, buying a house may not be the best choice for you. The mortgage may be less than rent, but there are also taxes and insurance. So, think carefully about whether buying or renting is a better fit for y
29、our finances, lifestyle, and future goals. Hope all of this will help you in the future. Thank you!

33、ather than English.D.People may use two or more languages. 解析：听力原文 According to David Grattle, a British language expert, the idea that English will become the world language is out-dated. And people are more likely to switch between two or more languages for routine communication in the future. The
34、 share of the world“s population that speaks English as a native language is falling. Instead, English will play a growing role as a second language. A population speaking more than one language is already the case in much of the world and is becoming more common in the United States. Indeed, the Ce
35、nsus Bureau reported last year that nearly one American in five speaks a language other than English at home, with Spanish taking the lead, followed by Chinese. Grattle works for British consulting and publishing business. He anticipates a world with the share of people who are native English speake
36、rs slips from 9% in the mid 1990s to 5% in 2050. Grattle says, “Up until 1995, English was the second most common native tongue in the world, trailing only Chinese. By 2050, Chinese will continue its predominance with Hindi Woodoo of India and Arabic climbing past English and Spanish nearly equal to
37、 it.“ In contrast, an American language expert, David Harrison noted that the global share of English is much larger if you count second language speakers, and will continue to rise even as the proportion of native speakers declines. Harrison disputed listing Arabic in the top three languages becaus

What does David Grattle say about the use of languages for daily communication in the future? 解析 文中提到，未来人们会在两种或更多语言中进行变换，换句话说，人们可能同时使用多种语言进行交流，故答案为 D。A.The number of Spanish speakers is far greater tha

42、nderstanding of the society.D.It can improve the hand-eye coordination. 解析：听力原文 A growing body of university research suggests that gaming improves creativity, decision-making and perception. The specific benefits are wide ranging, from improved hand-eye coordination in surgeons to vision changes th
43、at boost night driving ability. People who played action-based video and computer games made decisions 25% faster than others without sacrificing accuracy, according to a study. Indeed, the most skilled garners can make choices and act on them four times faster than most people, other researchers fo
44、und. Moreover, skillful game players can pay attention to more than six things at once without getting confused, compared with the four that someone can normally keep in mind, said University of Rochester researchers. The studies were conducted independently of the companies that sell video and comp
45、uter games. Electronic gameplay has its downside. Brain scans show that violent videogames can alter brain function in healthy young men after just a week of play, depressing activity among regions associated with emotional control, researchers at Indiana University recently reported. Other studies
46、have found an association between too much gaming and being overweight and prone to depression. The studies didn“t compare the benefits of gaming with such downsides. The violent action games that often worry parents most had the strongest beneficial effect on the brain. “These are not the games you
47、 would think are mind-enhancing,“ said the scientist Daphne Bavelier, who studies the effect of action games at Switzerland“s University of Geneva. Computer gaming has become an entertainment business of $25 billion a year since the first coin-operated commercial videogames hit the market 41 years a
