Passage One
W：I don’t know what to do.I can’t see，to get anyone in the hospital to listen to my complaints，and this outdated equipment is dangerous.Just look at it.
M：Hmm，uh，are you trying to say that it presents a health hazard？
W：Yes，I am.The head technician in the lab tried to persuade the hospital administration to replace it， but they are trying to cut costs.
M：You are pregnant，aren’t you？
W：Yes，I am.I made an effort to get my supervisor to transfer me to another department，but he urged me not to complain too loudly，because the administration is more likely to replace me than the X-ray equipment. I’m afraid to refuse to work，but I’m more afraid to expose my unborn child to the radiation.
M：I see what you mean.Well，as your union representative，I have to warn you that it would take quite a while to force management to replace the old machines，and attempt to get you transferred may or may not be successful.
W：Oh，what am I supposed to do then？
M：Workers have the legal rights to refuse certain unsafe work assignments under two federal laws：the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the National Labor Relations Act.But the requirements of either of the acts may be diffcult to meet.

Passage Two
Most people probably do not need to take vitamin pills to improve their health.Yet millions of people do.In the United States 40 percent of the people reportedly take vitamin pills.
The American Medical Association noted that vitamins can help keep people healthy when used correctly.For example，children may need to take vitamins for a while；pregnant women and women breast-feeding their children may need vitamins；people who do not eat meat or are eating less food to lose weight may need them.In general，other people do not.But they should try to eat moderate amounts of all kinds of foods—fruits and vegetables，grains，milk products，and meat and fsh.
About half of all Americans who take vitamins use small amounts just to increase their vitamin levels a little.Dr.Callaway notes those daily levels are already a little higher than we need for good health.The health care groups say these people probably are not harming themselves.The other half uses large amounts in an effort to prevent some things as cancer and heart disease.Callaway says that there’s no proof that this works.And huge amounts of vitamins，he says，can be harmful.For example， too much vitamin A can damage the liver and bones；too much vitamin B can damage the nerves；too much vitamin C or vitamin D may produce kidney stones.
Questions 21-25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
21.What may damage one’s nerves if being taken too much？
22.What should those who don’t have to take vitamin eat？

Passage Three
Studies of the effect that makes many of us slumber or feel sleepy during the queen’s speech on Christmas Day have revealed that changes may be required in Britain’s drink drive legislation.
Dr.James Horne，director of the Sleep Research Laboratory at Loughborough University，is investigating post-lunch sleepiness.“We humans are designed to sleep twice a day，once at night and a short nap after lunch，but in this part of the world we tend to repress that.”It is a remnant of the same primeval programming that makes all animals in the bush rest in the hot afternoon sun to conserve energy.
In his studies Dr.Horne has been investigating the role of alcohol.The theory is that if you are more sleepy after lunch then it fgures that alcohol will be more potent after lunch.One would fgure then that a pint of beer at lunchtime has more effect than in the evening，when people are more alert.Indeed，we fnd that it has about twice the effect.“This has more sinister implications.If people take alcohol up to the legal driving limit，their performance is seriously impaired after lunch，”he said.“It seems that alcohol interacts with the circadian rhythm of sleep to cause afternoon sleepiness，so that one pint at lunch time is equivalent，in effect，to a quart in the evening.”Dr.Horne recommends mild exercise，a splash of cold air or cold water on the face，or a cup of coffee.Otherwise，take a cat nap.But this should be less than 15 minutes，“otherwise，sleep really sets in and one can wake up feeling very groggy and far sleepier than to be gained with.”
