It is calledAuld Lang Syne(友谊地久天长). It is the traditional music played during the New Years celebration.Auld Lang Syneis an old Sc
11、ottish poem. 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 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
12、 later.The song is played in the United States mainly on New Years Eve. The version (译文) you are hearing today is by the Washington Saxophone Quartet.

15、ut the need to remember old friends.D. Its about the wishes to the radio friends.BThe stereotype(模式化的思想) is that Americans are lazy, but studies show that people in the USA get less vacation time than people in other parts of the world. A typical American worker gets two or three weeks off out of a
16、whole year for vacation, but most US workers cannot. They usually have to be spread out throughout the year. Even when US workers are on vacation. they are often expected to be in communication with their bosses by email and mobile phone. Most US businesses do not encourage their employees(雇员) to ta
17、ke all the vacation days they are allowed to. In fact. most US companies discourage it.Other countries, especially countries in Europe, have much more vacation time. In Germany many people have six weeks of paid vacation. Maybe this is why Europeans and other travellers take a vacation in far-off fo
18、reign places. Most American families like to stay closer to their homes, hardly leaving the country.Most companies in countries outside the USA have to give paid time off to their employees. However, in the USA there is no law requiring employers to give workers paid vacation. In fact the USA is the
19、 only developed country that doesnt promise to give yearly time off to workers. There have been efforts to pass laws giving US workers one week of paid vacation, but so far those efforts have not been successful.Even when US workers do have time off, many are afraid to take it because they worry the
20、y may lose their jobs. Other workers worry that if they go on vacation, they will have a mountain of work when they return.( )6The underlined word discourage in Paragraph 1 means .AEncourageBprotectClook forward toDask someone not to do( )7From Paragraph 3, we can infer Americans probably expect .At
