Now, the VOA Learning English program begins, Today, we talk about one way to solve a problem.
There are many different ways to solve a problem. One way is to be creative. People often think creative thinking is just for artists and designers, but this is not true. Dr. Edward de Bono, an expert(专家) in creative thinking and problem solving, has shown the world that using creativity to solve problems is very useful in business and in our communities, and will continue to be so in the future.
One example of creative thinking is the solution(解决办法)to a parking problem in a town center. In the areas close to stores, people can only park for 20 minutes. There are parking meters where people pay to park in these areas. However, the problem is that many people leave their cars there for longer than 20 minutes. Dr. Edward de Bono's solution is to make a rule that all cars parked in these areas must keep their headlights on. Of course, drivers will want to return to their cars before their car batteries(蓄 电池)die.
According to Dr. de Bono, people will need to use creative thinking more often in the future. To help people think more creatively, he designed the "Six Thinking Hats" system(系统). The system helps people think about a problem in different ways in order to find a solution. In the system, there are six imaginary hats of different colors. Each hat represents a different way of thinking. For example, the white hat helps people consider the facts. The black hat is the most logical(有逻辑的)and helps people consider why a possible solution may not work. So, next time you have a problem in your community, think about it creatively, from different perspectives, and see what best ideas you can get.
And that's all for today's program.
I'm Bryan Lynn. Thanks for your listening.
66. What is the topic of the text?
A. Being a creative artist in the community.
B. Doing business successfully in the future.
C. Asking experts for some useful advice.
D. Using creative thinking to solve problems.
67. Why is the example mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To express a result. B. To describe a problem.
C. To support the topic. D. To list some numbers.
68. What does the underlined word "perspectives" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Ways. B. Places. C. People. D. Rules.
69. Which of the following is true about the "Six Thinking Hats" system?
A. The system is used to help people think quickly.
B. The white hat helps people think about the facts.
C. The black hat has to do with people's feelings.
D. Six hats of different shapes can be very helpful.
70. Where can the passage be from?
A. A history book. B. A newspaper. C. ATV program. D. A radio program.

As a city dweller(城市居民),you probably have become used to noise pollution. However, this doesn't change the fact that overly(过度地)loud sounds can do harm to your health.
Many people believe that the only physical effect of living in a noisy place is having the occasional偶尔的)headache. While headaches can happen because of too much noise, they are not the only effect loud noises can come to have on your health. Noise pollution creates problems for just about everybody.
Recent studies have shown a strong link between environmental noise and a person, s increased risk of high blood pressure(压力), People who live in noisy places are also more likely to suffer from heart attacks and depression (抑郁症). Noise pollution also influences children's growth and learning development. In a noisy environment, children show lower understanding and reasoning (推理)skills.
Therefore, it is important for us to deal with noise pollution. One way is to fine noisemakers. However, some big companies might simply consider the fines to be a part of the cost of doing business. As a result, these fines may do nothing to change their noise-making practices.
Cities can help their dwellers replace old windows with soundproof (隔音的)ones. They can also build soundproof barriers (屏障)around highways and reduce traffic speeds in downtown areas.
There are also things each of us can do in our own communities. We can turn down the volume of our televisions, especially during the nighttime hours. Dog owners can try to prevent their pets from barking over long periods of time.
By taking action at both the citywide and the personal level, we can create a peaceful and livable world for all.
71. What will probably happen to people when they live with noise pollution ?
A. They will have low blood pressure. B. They will hardly see well.
C. They may have a headache. D. They may understand things better.
72. How many paragraphs(段落)tell the ways to reduce noise pollution in the passage?
A.3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 6
73 . Why do students need a quiet environment to study??
A. Because a quiet environment is beautiful.
B . Because noise pollution can cause depression.
C. Because a quiet environment can reduce heart attacks.
D. Because noise pollution can influence children's understanding ability
74. As students, what can we do to reduce noise pollution ?
A. We can fine noisemakers.
B. We can turn down the volume of our televisions.
C. We can build soundproof barriers around highways.
D. We can stop dogs from barking completely in the evening.
75. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. Noise pollution can cause a headache.
B. Noise pollution influences children's growth.
C. People should prevent their pets from barking.
D. People should work together to reduce noise pollution.
五、任务型阅读。(每小题1. 5分, 共10题, 计15分)
阅读下列短文, 根据短文内容填写表格(每空限填一词)。
We find it difficult to find true friends these days. A lot of people tend to backstab(背后伤人). Some make friends just to use them. Others promise to be your friends but they are never there when you need them the most. They appear only when they need something from you.
Once you find a friend who is worth keeping, make sure to take care of what you have with that person. How? Here are some tips on how to make friendship last forever:
1 . Call for no reason. Call just to say "Hi” or just to ask “ What's up?” You don't need a huge or an important reason to call a friend. If you can't call, just send an e-mail. This would send a message that you remember your friends on a random (随意的)time of the day.
2. Know when to say I'm sorry and thank you. Don't let pride get in the way, especially when you make a mistake. The word “sorry” already has saved a lot of friendships. Show appreciation for the things, big or little, that your friend does for you. Did she listen to you when you were complaining about that physics exam? Did he offer his shoulders for you to cry on when your boyfriend broke your heart? Say thank you. It's that easy.
3. Don't say hurtful words. If you have nothing good to say, don't talk at all. Don't hurt your friends' feelings by saying hurtful words that, most of the time, you don't really mean. If you're a true friend, you will be careful with your words.
4. Be honest. Don't lie to friends. Trust is the base of true friendship. Write them a note from time to time. Also, try to be thoughtful. Give simple gifts that will make their day.
5. Know how to keep a secret and show your friends that they can depend on you to be there whatever happens. If you promise to keep the secrets for your friends, just do it.
6. Never be mean(小气的)with your time. Spare some time to see your friends however busy you are. You can always spare an hour or two after school or work to visit them.
If you are the type of person who knows how to take care of friendship, you definitely are a keeper!
