Transcript:

So you finally found Mr. Right. At least you thought you had, until his bad habits and difficult family convinced you otherwise. Don't worry; you're not alone. In an age when half of all marriages end in divorce, breakups are a simple fact of life.

More than one-third (35 percent) of people today say they have been through a breakup at least once in the past 10 years, according to one survey. Some of the other results of the survey are quite predictable. People under the age of 35 are twice as likely as those between 35 and 54, and nearly five times as likely as those 55 and over, to separate from their partners in the past decade.

So who's breaking all the hearts? Although half of women say they were the ones who decided to end their most recent relationships, interestingly, only 32 percent of men say their partner left them. According to the survey, 29 percent of men say that they were the ones who ended their relationship; an additional 38 percent say their most recent breakup was "mutually agreed upon" by both parties. Only 28 percent of women report that their most recent break was mutual.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.

1. What is a "fact of life"?

2. How many people have been through a breakup during the last decade?

3. What group is least likely to have gone through a breakup recently?

D. Being loving can help us lead happier lives.

Transcript:

A new research report shows that the lack of parental warmth and closeness earlier in life can negatively affect a person's health status in mid-life, 35 years later.

A new study of participants in a Harvard study begun more than 40 years ago shows that college men who said that they had not enjoyed a close relationship with their mothers had a greater risk of developing certain illnesses by the time they reached mid-life. In fact, 91% of these men had heart disease, high blood pressure, or alcoholism.

In comparison, only 45% of the participants who received their mother's warmth and closeness had been diagnosed with these diseases by the time they reached their 50s.

The researchers note that parental caring may be a powerful predictor of future health because it "involves and integrates so many potential mechanisms"—biological, psychological, and social. "Since parents are usually the meaningful source of social support in early life, the perception of parental love and caring may have important effects on biological and psychological health and illness throughout life," the researchers claim.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.

1. What is shown in a recent report?

2. What usually happened to a child who didn't feel loved by his mother?

3. Why is "parental caring" so good at predicting future health?

4. What is the most important source of social support in early life?

5. What can we infer from this passage?

Transcript:

Education has an honored place in American society and, with some exceptions among the wealthy, parents of every kind of background and of all income groups send their children to the local public high schools. It is an article of faith in the American Dream that a good education will enable a child to achieve a higher standard of living than his or her parents.

People have a high opinion of American high schools. This is because the high schools take their responsibilities very seriously—and not only in the classroom. They have guidance advisers to whom children can go privately if they have any special problems, especially about their future careers.

Parents are encouraged to share in the school life of their children. In some lower grade classes they actually go into the class during a lesson and help the teachers with plays and class reading, and most schools have highly successful Parent-Teacher Organizations. Teachers and parents get

together and discuss their children's problems. Between them, parents and the teacher then work out

a plan of action.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Transcript:

Do you have a self-image that can help you succeed or one that can make you fail? Let's discover what self-image is all about. Get a picture in your mind of two empty chairs. In these two chairs let's picture two visitors. In the first chair let's seat a young man who is deaf. In the second chair let's seat

a young boy who was born with part of one foot missing.

The young man we picked for the first chair was a musician. He was a great artist. He composed many great songs. He never gave up, because he had a positive self-image. This man was

Beethoven.

The visitor in the second chair was a young boy who was born with part of one foot missing. This young boy loved sports, especially football. He also never gave up, and he too had a positive

self-image. His name is Tom Dempsey.

If you try to find the special strength that turns an ordinary person into a hero it only exists in the heart or soul of man. It is called a positive self-image. A positive self-image is a great belief in yourself and your ideas.
