In many ways ours is a world without boundaries.Being a citizen of a particular nation is almost as much as being a resident of a particular town or province.Boundaries between countries are fading.People are free to move from one country to another due to the relaxation of immigration laws in the last century.Nowadays many countries have fairly simple requirements for obtaining citizenship and voting rights.In Europe, for example, the European Union’s membership has grown to 27countires.It has developed a common body of laws, common policies and practices, and a great deal of cooperation among its members.The adoption of the single currency, the euro, by 16 of its 27 member countries and the circulation of euro cash in January 2002 have enabled citizens in these countries to move about even more freely.In addition, all of the major organized religions, including Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam, are alive and well, but le clearly and exclusively identified with specific cultures and geographic regions.People everywhere feel free to convert to other religions, and many people identify themselves with more than one religion.Since 1995, which is called the Year of the Internet, cyberspace has become a rich and realistic realm of experience.Communications among people among the world have never been so easy and so fast.The world in cyberspace is truly without boundaries.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the paage you’ve just heard.26.What is the paage mainly about? 27.How many members did the European Union have when this paage was written? 28.What can you learn from the paage?

Paage 2

Twenty years ago when i studied in New York, i began studying how people became millionaires.Surveying residents of stylish neighborhoods acro the country, i discovered something very odd.Quite a lot who live in expensive homes and drive luxury cars don’t have much wealth.They may earn a fair amount of money, but they spend it all.Then i discovered something much odder: many who have a great deal of wealth don’t live in stylish neighborhoods.They don’t drive luxury cars.In one large metropolitan area i surveyed, fewer than half the millionaires lived in high-rent districts.That small insight changed my life.It led me out of an academic career, and inspired me to write.I wrote three books on affluence in two years.And it made me an adviser to corporations that sell products to individuals with high net wealth.What most people don’t realize is that wealth isn’t the same as income.If you made $1 million a year and spend $1 million, you’re not getting wealthier, you’re just living high.So if you ask me what is wealth, I can say wealth is what you accumulate, not what you spend.Question 29 to 31 are based on the paage you’ve just heard.29.What did the speaker do originally? 30.Who most likely live in expensive houses according to the paage? 31.What can we learn from the paage?

When it comes to leisure activities, Americans aren’t quite the fun-seekers they’ve been supposed to be.For one out of five, weekends and vacations are consumed by such drudgeries as house-cleaning, yard-working and cooking;only one-third of them enjoy the luxury of relaxing in the sun, going camping, playing sports, or simply relaxing.These are among the conclusions reached by a recent poll in which more than 1,120 employed Americans were asked how they occupy themselves on days they are not at work.According to the poll, older people, the rich, and the well-educated are most apt to spend their spare time doing the things they “want to do” rather than those they “have to do”.Overall, high-salaried people were more active then those with lower incomes---they reported watching le television and were more likely to engage in social and cultural activities.Furthermore, those with college degrees were about twice as likely as those with no more than a high school education to spend time playing sports(42% compared with 23%)

On the subject of vacations, the study found that college graduates were more likely than those with only high school degrees to have vacation plans(80% versus 60%).Of those who did intend to take some time off, 46% planned a sightseeing vacation(34% in the United States, 12%abroad), 34%expected to visit friends or relatives, 22% headed for the beach or lake, and 12% intended to relax at home.People who are divorced, widowed, or separated, the survey concluded, are the least likely of any group to take a vacation---and the least likely to attach any importance to it.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the paage you’ve just heard.32.What is the paage mainly about? 33.How do most people in the US spend their vacation according to the paage? 34.Which of the following adjectives best describes the paage? 35.Which of the following can be inferred from the paage?
