Im going to run through them all very quickly and then we can have a look at them in detail. Now first, ah, have a look at the illustration showing some of
15、 the bodys organs. Now you should know most of these already. When we think of organs we usually think of the heart, lungs and kidneys. But, of course, the eyes, ears and brain are also organs and there are many more. Organs are part of the body that do a special job. Now, a group of organs working
16、together is called a system. There are 10 main systems in the human body and they all work together to keep the body going.Now lets have a quick look at these systems.Now first-the skeletal system. Thats the bones and the things that hold them together, that we call connective tissues. The skeletal
17、system is the framework of the body. It gives the body its shape and form and it protects the heart, lungs and the brain.The muscle system has the role of moving the body. It also pushes food through the body and makes the blood circulate.Now you can see how these systems work together. The bones co
18、uldnt move without the muscles. And all the systems are controlled by the nervous system. This is made up of the brain, tile spinal cord and the nerves. And this system controls all muscle movement. It also controls your senses and makes it possible for you to learn and remember things.Now some peop
19、le say that the nervous system is the most important system of all but that isnt really true because all the systems have to work together to keep us alive. They are all essential to life. So you cant really say that one is more important than another.Now, the digestive system. The stomach and the i
20、ntestines are the main parts of this system. They have the job of processing food to provide energy for the body. Food is broken down to a simpler form so that it can be absorbed into the blood. The waste products are removed from the body through the rectum at the end of the intestines.The respirat
21、ory system consists of the windpipe and lungs and it takes air into the body. It also sepa-ates out the oxygen needed to turn the food you eat into energy for the body. The lungs also get rid of the carbon dioxide, which is collected from the cells by the blood.The blood, the heart and ail the blood
22、 vessels form the circulatory system. Now this system carries the food and oxygen around the body. It also collects the waste from the cells and fights hacteria-germsin the body.The urinary system is made up of the kidneys and bladder. And this system filters certain wastes from the blood and remove
23、s them from the body as urine.Now can you see how all these systems are working together pouring things into the blood and filtering other things out of it-and keeping you alive?Next is the lymphatic system. Now you probably havent heard of this one and it% fairly hard to describe. Lymph is a clear
24、liquid which comes from the blood. It leaves the blood vessels and moves throughout the body, picking up wastes as it gees-things that the body doesnt want. When it has done its job the lymph flows back into a large blood vessel near the neck. The wastes that it has picked up are then filtered out o
25、f the body through the blood.The endocrine system could be called the bodys chemical control. This system is made up of special glands found in many parts of the body. These glands give out hormones which are like chemical messengers. These tell different body systems how to operate. They control th
26、ings like how tall people become and how energetic they feel.Finally, the reproductive system. This consists of a group of organs involved in making new human beings. In males, the main organs of the reproductive system are the testes and in the females they are the ovaries and the uterus)Now, er, l

B.Customers have to queue for drinks at the bar.C.Customers have to wait for someone to take their orders.D.A waitress normally comes to the tables to take orders or money.解析：听力原文1-5Tom: Kelvin, could you tell me
29、 something about the bars? I have never been to a bar. You see, Steve, my classmate has invited me to go to a bar tonight.Kelvin: I see. You know, the word “bar“ means a room in a pub. We say the bar when we mean the part of that room where drinks are kept. Soon after you go into the pub, youll real
30、ize that nobody comes to the tables to take orders or money, instead, customers go to the bar to buy their drinks.Tom: I see. People will go to the bar directly to get their drinks and don t wait for someone to come to take their orders.Kelvin: Thats right. People dont queue at the bar, but they do
31、wait tilt its their turn.Tom: Oh, how do I pay? I mean do I pay directly after I get the drink or do I have to wait till I am ready to leave like I do in a restaurant?Kelvin: Its not the custom to pay for all your drinks when youre ready to leave, instead you pay at the bar each time you get drinks.
32、 It helps if youre ready to pay as soon as youre served, and youll notice that many people wait with their money in their hands.Tom: I see. Do I have to give a tip?Kelvin: No. Its not the custom to give a tip. Its very common for friends to buy their drinks together in rounds. This means that each p
33、arson takes a turn to buy drinks for everybody in the group. Its faster and easier, both for you and for the person serving if drinks are bought in this way. Naturally you dont have to have a drink in each round if you dont want one.Tom: Thats interesting.Kelvin: When youre looking for somewhere to
34、sit, remember that people have to leave their seats to get drinks, etc., so an empty seat may not in fact be available to use. If youre not sure whether a seat is free, ask someone sitting near it. When its time for another drink, people usually take their glasses beck to the bar to be filled again.
35、 If youre leaving, the friendly thing to do is to take your glasses back to the bar, thank the person whos been serving you, and say “goodbye“ or “goodnight“.Tom: Thank you, Kelvin. This helps me a lot. By the way, what kind of drinks are available in pubs?Kelvin: Well, you can get both alcoholic an
36、d non-alcoholic. Besides alcoholic drinks such as beer and wine, there is cider, which is made from apples, usually sold in bottles, pert-a type of thick, sweet wine from Portugal, sherry, which is a type of wine from Spain, and spirits these are a kind of strong alcoholic drinks such as whisky and
37、brandy.Tom: What about non-alcoholic? I dont drink alcohol.Kelvin: Well, they offer all kinds of fruit juices, such as orange and tomato. These drinks are usually sold in small bottles. And soft drinks, we often call sweet drinks, like Coke and Fanta. They are normally sold in small bottles or cans.
38、 And lemonade, which is a clear and sweet drink made with carbonated water. They also serve cordials.Tom: What are cordials?Kelvin: Cordials are strong and sweet drinks tasting of fruit, such as lime cordial, black-currant cordial. They are often added to other drinks or drunk with water.Tom: I dont
39、 like sweet drinks. Are there any other non-alcoholic drinks?Kelvin: Yes, mineral water, but its not available in all pubs.Tom: Kelvin, one more question. What is VAT? I saw this on most goods in Britain?Kelvin: Well, VAT stands for Value Added Tax. The price shown on most goods in Britain includes
40、a tax of 15%. If you use the Retail Export Scheme this trax can be returned to you if you take the goods with you when you leave Britain. You may have to spend a certain sum of money before you qualify for the scheme, and you 11 have to show your passport. Ask in the shop if they operate the Retail
41、Export Scheme. If they do, the shop assistant will explain how you can get the tax back and fill in a form with you. VAT is also charged on hotel, restaurant bills, theatre, cinema tickets and car hire.Tom: Are these refundable?Kelvin: No, its not refundable in these cases.Tom: Thank you very much.
