听力原文： Bells have been in existence for a long time. They were used by the Chinese about 6,000 years ago and the oldest bell ever found is around 7,000 years old. Today, we live in a world of mass communications and reliable clocks, so it is easy to forget what an essential part of everyday life bells used to be.

Bells told people of happy events, such as wedding and births, or sometimes had to announce unpleasant events such as a death or a funeral. Sometimes bells were used for giving people warnings of an enemy's approach or spreading the good news of victory.

In many places today, bells are perhaps most commonly associated with announcing when religious services are going to take place. They are also frequently rung during celebrations and continue to play a part in many people's lives.

听力原文：W: Today’s arts report betrays Dan Parker of the American Indian Dance Theater. Mr. Parker, I understand your troupe performs traditional music and dance from many different Native American cultures. Can you give us an idea of some of the dances you’ll be doing in your performance tonight?

M: Certainly. We’ll be doing won-us-award dance. Originally it was a story telling device to recount battles. Another is the grass dance, performed by the plains Indians, where they actually flatten tall field grass to prepare it for a ceremony.

W: Since your dancers are from different tribes, how can you be sure the dances are done correctly?

M: Everything we do had been approved by the elders of our tribes. That’s partly because we don’t necessarily know each other’s styles or dances. But it’s also because it’s hard to get complete agreement even within the same tribe about exactly how the dance should be done.

W: Anyone who attends one of your performances will notice that your company goes to a lot of trouble to provide detailed explanations of the origin of the dances, the music, the costumes and so forth. Could you explain to our listeners why you do these?

M: Good question. There are always concerns that traditional dances performed in a theater are nothing more than spectacle. Our explanations show that in our cultures, dance is ritual rather than entertainment. We also want to make it clear to our audience that we are not performing any dances used for secret ceremonies.

What is the main topic of the conversation?

A．The dances of a Native American dance troupe.

B．How Native American ceremonial dances are classified.

C．Variations of a basic dance among Native American tribe.

D．How Native American artists are trained.

听力原文： A person's social prestige seems to be determined mainly by his or her job. Occupations are valued in terms of the incomes associated with them, although other factors can also be relevant—particularly the amount of education a given occupation requires and degree of control over others it provides. The holders of political power also tend to have high prestige. Unlike power and wealth, which do not seem to be becoming more equally shared, the symbols of prestige have become available to an increasing number of Americans. The main reason is the radical change in the nature of jobs over the course of this century. In 1900 nearly 40 percent of the labor force were farm workers and leas than 20 percent held white-collar jobs. At the beginning of the 1980a, however, leas than 5 percent of the labor force worked on farms and white-collar workers were the largest single occupational category. Blue-collar workers, the largest category in the mid-fifties, now constitute leas than a third of all workers. The increase in the proportion of high prestige jobs has allowed a much greater number of Americans to enjoy these statuses and the lifestyles that go with them.

A．Power.

B．Academic degree.
