         This is a song millions of Americans will hear this New Year's Eve. It is called Auld Lang Syne(《友谊
     地久天长》). It is the traditional music played during the New Year's celebration. Auld Lang Syne is an
      old Scottish poem (诗). It tells about the need to remember old friends.
         The words "auld lang syne" mean "old long since". No one knows who wrote the poem first. However,
      a version (版本) by Scottish poet Robert Bums was published (出版) in 1796. The words and music we
      know today first appeared in a songbook three years later.
         The song is played in the United States mainly on New Year's Eve. The version you are hearing today
     is by the Washington Saxophone Quartet. As we end our program with Auld Lang Syne, I would like to
      wish all our radio friends a very Happy New Year! This is Buddy Thomas.

         The continent of Africa has a long history and a rich culture,and this is shown in traditional dress. You
     often find three colours-red, gold and green-in the clothing.The first colour stands for (象征) the blood
      of millions of people who suffered as slaves (奴隶); the second is for the rich resources (资源) of the
      African earth; and the third represents the grasslands of home.
         Because clothing has a strong social meaning, people are very careful in choosing what to wear. It
     would be a serious mistake to wear the wrong clothing, or to wear clothes in the wrong way. For
      example, in Ghana, a woman should wear her waistband (腰带) differently according to the importance
     of the social event.
         Traditional dress also tells us about everyday life. African designs are famous for loose (宽松的)
     clothing. Tile climate, with the hot sun and wide temperature ranges (变化), requires that the clothes are
      comfortable for daily life.
         Although many people wear Western clothes,particularly in the big cities in Africa,traditional African
     dress is very highly valued. This is because it has deep cultural meanings.
    1. The passage is mainly about _____.
        A. the history of clothes in Africa        
        B. modern fashion styles in Africa
        C. the meanings of traditional dress in Africa  
        D. the materials used in traditional dress in Africa
    2. According to the passage,red _____.
        A. represents the setting sun                  
        B. stands for the African earth
        C. is chosen because it is a bright colour        
        D. is a reminder of the sad history in Africa
    3. Traditional dress should also be practical because _____.
        A. it needs to keep people dry in the rainy season  
        B. it needs to protect people from the climate
        C. people wear it in the big cities            
        D. it has deep cultural meanings

         If you watch the sky for about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some "moving stars". But
      they're not really stars. They're man-made satellites. And the biggest of all is the International Space
      Station (ISS). From May to July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth. And people
     can see it with their eyes.
         The ISS is the biggest satellite (人造卫星) and scientists want to live on it. They think that the best way

     many of the things they have at home. Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built. The
     ISS is the most expensive space program. Billions of dollars are being spent on it every year.
         Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping stone for future space exploration (探测). "The ISS will
      help us understand the human body better, explore space and study the earth. It can help us make life on
     the earth better," said Kathryn Clark, an ISS scientist.
         Sixteen countries are part of the program: the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil and 11 European
     countries. China isn't an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments. In 2003, China sent
      some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it.
