听力原文： When the Westinghouse Science Talent Search Team named its top achievers in 1983, the grand prize went to Paul Ning, then 16.
Paul Ning is not a native-bom American. He is the son of a professor from the People's Republic of China. Ning came to the United States at the age of three. By 11, he was constructing a simple wind tunnel to study the relationship between speed and pressure. Now being a senior at the superb Bronx High School of Science in New York City, Ning feels: 'You have to be aggressive in your studies to really understand what you're doing.' His mother adds: 'He always tries to prove to us and to himself that he is the best.'
Out of 40 Westinghouse finalists, nine, including Ning, were born in Asia and three others were of Asian descent. This story has reminded us of the fact that some 10% of Harvard University's freshman class is Asian-American. While no more than 15% of California high sebeol graduates are eligible for admission to the University of California system, about 40% of Asian-American qualify.
Most educators believe that Asian scholastic achievement has much to do with breeding and nurture. Many Asian- American children have also well-educated parents who are always on the school's side. In addition, most Asians regard education as the best way to recognition and success through which they pay the indefinite debt to parents. Also, this is a way of showing filial duty. As a result, it is no wonder that Asian-American children usually do a far better job than their classmates.

Studies of friendship seem to implicate more complex factors. For example, one function friend-ship seems to fulfill is 【C1】______ it supports the image we have【C2】______ ourselves, and【C3】______ the value of the attitudes we hold. Certainly we appear to【C4】______ ourselves onto our friends; several studies have shown that we judge them to be more like us than【C5】______. This suggests that we ought to choose friends who are similar to us【C6】______ than those who would be【C7】______ ('opposites attract'), a prediction which is supported by【C8】______ evidence, at least so【C9】______ as attitudes and beliefs are【C10】______. In one experiment, some developing friendships were【C11】______ amongst first-year students living in the same hostel. It was found that similarity of【C12】______(towards politics, religion and aesthetics) was a good predictor of【C13】______ friendship would be established by the end of four months, though it had less to do with initial【C14】______—not surprisingly, since attitudes may not be obvious on first inspection.The difficulty of linking friendship【C15】______ similarity of personality probably【C16】______ the complexity of our personalities; we have many【C17】______ and therefore require a disparate group of friends to support us. This of course can explain why we may have two close friends who have little in【C18】______, and indeed dislike each other. By【C19】______ large, though, it looks as though we would do well to choose friends who【C20】______ us.【C1】A．thatB．whichC．whatD．if

听力原文： At the start of the Middle Ages in Europe, there were no schools, as we know them today. There were no grade schools or high schools. There were no universities where young men could learn professions such as law or medicine. The only schools were in churches or monasteries. Except for some priests and monks, few people could read or write. As time went on, many young men needed an education so they could learn a profession. In order to get an education, they had to be taught by teachers in a church school. Some churchmen became known as great teachers. Wherever there was a great teacher, young men gathered to live and study. Then other teachers came to teach the subjects they knew best. A center of learning was formed. Around A.D. 1100, a famous center of learning grew up around the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, France. A well-known teacher named Peter Abelard was there. Thousands of students came to Paris from all over Europe. Many teachers came too, and gave classes of their own. Sometime between A.D. 1150 and A.D. 1170, the teachers formed a group that was much like a union. This group became the University of Paris. The University of Paris was one of the early universities. It had many teachers who taught different subjects, and it served as a model for other such universities.(31)A．High schools.B．Universities.C．Churches or monasteries.D．Grade schools.
