Passage Two
Keeping a diary is bad for your health，say UK psychologists.They found that people who regularly keep diaries suffer from headaches，sleeplessness，digestive problems and social awkwardness more than people who don’t.These fndings challenge the assumption that people fnd it easier to get over a traumatic event if they write about it.
“We expected diary keepers to have more beneft，or be the same，but they were worst of，”says Elaine Duncan of the Glasgow Caledonian University.“In fact，you’re probably much better off if you don’t write anything at all，”she adds.
The study，carried out with David Sheffield of Staffordshire University，was presented on Wednesday at a meeting of the British Psychological Society in Edinburgh.
The pair studied 94 regular diarists and compared their health with that of 41 non-diarists.The subjects，all students at Staffordshire University，answered questions about their diary-keeping habits， and flled in a standard questionnaire.
“We decided to test the idea that writing is cathartic，”says Duncan.She claims that her study is the frst to investigate subjects who write of their own free will.In most other studies，volunteers are actually asked to write about traumatic experiences in a systematic way.
The researchers asked the diarists recruited to say how often they made entries and for how long they had kept diaries.They were also asked if they had written about anything traumatic.
Statistically，the diarists scored much worse on health measures than the non-diarists.The worst affected of all were those who had written about trauma.“They were susceptible to headaches and the like，”says Duncan.
Questions 21-25 are based on the passage you have just heard：
21.According to UK psychologists，regular diarist are more likely to suffer from the following except.
22.When and where was Duncan’s study presented？
23.How many subjects were there in Duncan’s study？
24.What is special about Duncan’s study？
25.According to Duncan’s study，who scored worst on the health measures？
Passage Three
Most foreigners find British pubs both fascinating and frustrating：fascinating because they are unique to Great Britain and not at all like the bars you find in most other countries and frustrating because their peculiar opening and closing hours.
In fact，much of the law history of pub in Britain is to do with people who want to drink and others who want to stop them.The development of pubs and the law surrounding them is an interesting way of learning a little more about our social history.Foreigners often think of tea as the British national drink.But compared to beer drinking，tea drinking is a very recent development.Beer has been drunk in Britain since before the Roman invasion.The earliest breweries were parts of the monasteries.And as early as 1659 AD the king of Kent was making laws in an attempt to stop priests from getting drunk.
By the late 16th century，drunkenness was a real problem and laws were passed to restrict drinking hours.In 1606，a law was passed which stated the purpose of inns was to lodge way-faring people only. Travelers were allowed to buy drinks at times forbidden to local people.However，the ingenuity of the dedicated drinkers got around this problem and the result was that the locals would simply move on to the next town or village when they wanted to continue drinking after time in their own village.
In the 19th century，cheap gin appeared in Britain.It was very popular among poor people.Drunkenness again increased and more laws were passed.The Temperance Society was formed to fght against the demon drink.This group of dedicated tea-toilers tried to persuade people to abstain from drinking by getting them to sign the pledge.In spite of their various attempts to curb drinking，or step it out completely，pubs continue to provide a major pan of British social life.Their opening and closing hours are still restricted by law although they have their recommendations recently for big changes，including extending licensing hours and admitting children.But nothing has happened yet.
