新东方梅雪老师主讲的听力讲义

People in different countries and different areas of the world eat different kinds of things. Scientists say that none of these differences are really important. It doesn't matter whether food is eaten raw or cooked，canned or frozen. It doesn't matter if a person eats dinner at four o'clock in the afternoon or at eleven o'clock at night. The important thing, they say, is that every day a person should eat some-thing from each of these kinds of food.

There are two problems，then，in feeding the ever-increasing number of people on earth. The first is to find some way to feed the world population so that no one is hungry. The second is to make sure that people everywhere have the right kinds of food to make them grow to be strong and healthy.

Main points:

① Scientists have learned that there are 6 classes of food people need.

② Everyday a person should eat something from each of these kinds of food.

③ There are still two problems：

[A] ever-increasing number of people on earth.

[B] the right kinds of food people everywhere eat.

The banks in the U. S.

Most banks in the U.S. open at 9：00 or 10：00 and close between 3：00 and 5：00，but stay open later on Fridays. Some banks have longer hours in order to attract customers.

What's the best way to carry money safely while you are travelling?

There are three possibilities—personal checks from your country，travellers checks and credit cards. Some American banks accept foreign checks such as Eurocheques；the problem is that only those banks that are used to dealing with foreigners will know what Eurocheques are.

It may be more convenient to carry travellers checks，which are insured against loss. They should be in dollars，because only a few banks do much business in foreign currencies. If your checks aren't in dollars，it may take you a long time to find a bank that will exchange them. You can use travellers checks almost anywhere—in restaurants，stores or ticket offices—without having to go to a bank. If you run out of them，you can buy more at most banks.

Americans would say the best way to carry money is to have an major credit card like Visa，Master Card or American Express. Credit cards can be canceled if they are lost or stolen. And because they are widely accepted in the U.S.，it is easy to use them to pay for lodging，transportation，meals and things you want to buy from larger stores.
