听力原文: According to the recent forecasts from The Futuristic magazine for 1997 and beyond, the global economy has increased 5 folds since mid-century, while the population has doubled. As a result, the pressure on natural resources has grown phenomenally: Demand for grain has nearly tripled, and burning of fossil fuels has increased nearly fourfold, with carbon emissions rising accordingly.
City skylines may flatten out in the future. Information technologies are allowing workers to telecommute from home rather than trek to downtown skyscrapers. Consequently, many prestigious office towers are standing empty, and U. S. builders have stopped putting up structures taller than 30 stories.
Education in the Information Age will be more technology-intensive and less labor-intensive. Teaching may become more centralized, with a few "star teachers" giving courses via videotape or teleconferencing to a national student body. Infotech is producing interactive educational toys and other devices that stimulate early development of mental faculties. Some youngsters may even teach themselves to read before age 3.
Future education will not end with a terminal degree in high school or college, but become a lifelong endeavor. More students will be learning at home, using computers and advanced educational software. The number of home schoolers has grown from 10,000 to over 500,000 in the last two decades.
Electronic networking will give more power to workers at the bottom of the corporate pecking order. Computer networks allow employees to skip over chains of command and communicate directly with senior managers or even the CEO. The relative anonymity of electronic communications will make low-status individuals less inhibited about expressing their points of view and offering valuable new ideas.
The earth's economy is expected to benefit hugely from space exploration. Earth is a colossal system, and we will need to expand our resource base. The space race will see many new competitors, as the United States and Russia lose ground in space industries due to budget cuts. China, India, and Japan are moving ahead quickly in such fields as remote sensing satellites and commercial rocket launches.

听力原文: It is difficult to give a description of American laws concerning alcohol because they vary from state to state and city to city.
Some towns allow the sale of very weak, 3.2 percent alcohol beer known as "three-two" beer. Some places do not allow the sale of any alcohol on Sundays, not only in bars but also in shops. You may find a locked bar over the alcohol shelves.
In many parts of America, you are not allowed to drink alcohol in a public place. That is, you may not sit in a park or walk along a street drinking beer, and you cannot even take a nice bottle of wine on your picnic. In some public places, people can be seen taking drinks from cans wrapped in brown-paper bags. These are not cans of Coca-Cola. And in all states you are not allowed to drink alcohol while driving, or even have an opened alcohol container in the car. Some bars have a license only for beer and wine. Others are also allowed to sell spirits and thus, as Americans say, mixed drinks.
Many bars have a period known as "happy hour", often longer than an hour, when they sell drinks with prices lower than usual. This is usually around 5p.m. and may be only on certain days of the week.
Legal drinking age varies from state to state but is generally between 18 to 21. Some states permit the consumption of beer at 18 but spirits only at 21. Others permit the consumption only of "three-two" beer from 18 to 21. In any case, in some parts of the USA, young people are allowed to vote, marry, raise children, keep full-time jobs, be tried in courts as adults, join the army and even buy guns but not have a glass of beer. In some places 18 to 21 year olds are allowed into bars but not allowed to drink.
Another even more interesting aspect of American drinking-age laws is that in some places people below legal drinking age are not even allowed to sell alcohol.
