录音原文

The last living person known to be born in the 19th century is still thriving in the 2lst.

   Emma Morano turned 117 on Tuesday and celebrated at her home in Italy with a big cake. She even blew out the candles herself.

   The cake was a bit of a deviation（偏离）from her usual diet of two raw eggs（生鸡蛋） a day, something Morano has enjoyed since a doctor diagnosed（诊断）her with anemia（贫血症）during World War I, BBC reports.

   Morano's doctor, Carlo Bava, says his patient is the model of consistency（连贯性）. "When I first knew her, she used to eat three eggs a day. Two raw and one fried. Today she has slowed down a bit, reducing the number to two some days because she says three can be too much," Bava told Reuters TV "She has never eaten much fruit or vegetables. Her characteristic is that she always eats the same thing, every day, every week, every month and every year."

Passage One

录音原文：
   Do you have a spare room in your house? What about a driveway (私人车道) for your car? Both of these can help you make money. Many people who are feeling the pinch (感到手都拮据) are taking advantage of what's been called the "sharing economy".

 Perhaps the best-known example of a company in this field is Airbnb - an American web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers. It says it operates in 34,000 cities and it has 800,000 listings of rooms and apartments. They seem to have cornered the market (垄断了市场).

 A British company is doing something with parking spaces. JustPark's founder, Anthony Eskinazi, says: "When I had the original idea, I spotted a driveway close to a sports stadium. It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than in a commercial car park."

 And he has a big clientele(客户群) : around 20,000 people have advertised their spaces on the site. and he says around half a million drivers use it. There are other sites doing very similar things. like Uber and Lyft - these let drivers share their cars with other passengers.

 However, the sharing economy has its critics: the competitors of these new companies.People who run things like traditional 'B and Bs, commercial car parks and taxi services are afraid of ending up out of pocket (赔钱) .

 And there is another issue: regulations for these new businesses are unclear. How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbour? Because this is a new business world, those rules aren't there yet and many people are happy to share as long as it pays!      

Passage Two

Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.

16. Which is NOT mentioned to do with the used items'?

A) Chuck（扔掉） them away. 

B) Recycle them.

C) Give them to charity. 

D) Save them for a better price.

17. How does James Wallman think of labelled goods?

A) They are what we need. 

B) They are not necessary.

C) They can promote our image. 

D) They can make us happy.

18. What is a shopaholic?

A) Works in a shop.  

B) Owns a shop.

C) Likes shopping very much.

D) Gives advice on shopping.
录音原文：

  Do you have too many pairs of shoes or old gadgets lying around your home? I'm sure many of us have too much stuff that we don't really use and when it starts getting out of hand, it really is time to do some spring cleaning to de-clutter (清理) our lives.

However, deciding which items to get rid of can be tricky especially if you are materialistic（唯物论的）, believing that physical possessions（有形财产） are the most important thing in life. Also, some people are sentimental（伤感的） about letting go of their personal property（财产）. But if you haven't got room in your house to move, it's time to evaluate（评估） what is really important to you and decide what are your prized possessions and what is just junk（无用之物）.

Instead of just chucking it away and filling up landfill sites（填埋场）, items could be recycled or given to a charity（慈善机构）to re-sell. You could also make some money by using websites where people are willing to pay for second-hand goods. Some people have taken a minimalist（极简主义者）approach, deliberately trying to keep life simple.
    Of course, if you're a shopaholic（购物狂） or a fashion-victim（时尚受害者）, it's hard to stop buying and shopping online makes purchasing stuff very easy. James Wallman is a writer and journalist - he questions what we actually need. He says "I'm not anti-stuff -- stuff is good. I'm anti too much stuff and I'm anti the wrong stuff. Don't go out and buy that labelled good(名牌产品)  that you think is going to make people think something more of you. That's not going to make you happy."
    This sounds like good advice. It's good to take stock of what we have and what we really need.
