以下的听力资料都是由 Realplayer8.0来播放的,你如果还没有安装,或是看不到播放界面，请点击这里高速下载.

这次听力均同步来自VOA新闻节目。我和大家一样，每天都在默写。我也不知道正确答案。也常有那么一两个单词默写不出。还是请大家能够把自己的默写内容贴到我们的社区里“每日英语学习”的“每日听写交流”，或是帮我看看默写的内容是否正确。同时我也会在“听力完全攻略”里保持同步更新，这样您即使没有收到邮件，每天也能够登陆到网站进行听力学习了。由于标准答案我也没有，所以要靠大家一起讨论才行。象今天的新闻我自己就有两处不能确定，得看看你们的听写意见。所以开这个栏目心里还真没底，如果大家都没兴趣参与的话，过不了几期就得停止了。不过我知道这种方式是真正能够提高我们的听力水平的，而且相信会有不少朋友会为此付出努力的。

以下的TOEFL听力对话请务必按照这样的方法训练您真正的听力能力：请将对话内容完全听写出来，包括提问句子。然后根据您的理解写出您的答案。（这也是我不给大家选择答案的原因）这样不仅有效避免了我们想猜答案的侥幸心里，更重要的是同时锻炼了我们的口语能力。最后请将您的听写和您自己认为正确的答案发表在中国英语联盟社区的 “每日英语学习”版块中“每日听写交流”进行交流！如果您能够坚持这种听力学习方法的话，其实对于托福听力题目来说，您根本无需看答案。因为当您听完对话后，自己的答案已经脱口而出了。在这种基础上要选中一个正确答案您就会体验到“真好玩”的这种感觉了！祝您成功！

The blood pressure of the other group was reduced by almost three percent. The researchers were not sure why vitamin C had this effect on blood pressure. They said more studies are needed to find out.

Other new studies report about Vitamin E. Earlier research suggested this vitamin could reduce the chance of heart attacks. A new study found no evidence of this. Salim Yusuf of Hamilton General Hospital in Ontario, Canada led the study. It was published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Researchers studied the health of more than nine thousand five hundred people who had an increased risk of heart attack or stroke. Half of the people took four hundred international units of vitamin E every day. The others took an inactive substance.

The kangaroo rat lives in a desert area of the south-western United States. It gets its name from its jumping ability. Proportionately, it has the same long, powerful legs as the kangaroo. It also has a strong tail on which to sit.

Only three inches (7.62 cm) in length, the kangaroo rat can jump with amazing accuracy and land directly on top of an insect, its principal food. When two kangaroo rats fight, they do so in midair. Two fighters leap into the air and hit each other with their sharp claws while still in the air.

Probably the most interesting thing about the kangaroo rat is that he never drinks water. Since he lives in an area of little water, he gets moisture from desert plants. These provide him with all the liquid that he needs.

His real name was John Chapman but he was known as Johnny Appleseed. He was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1774. Beginning in the 1790s until his death in 1845, Johnny Appleseed distributed apple seeds ,young trees, and Bibles to people as far west as Ohio. In his lifetime he covered more than 100,000 square miles (259,000 sq-kms) with apple trees. He often returned to some areas to cultivate the trees that he had planted.

Johnny Appleseed's clothing was somewhat strange. He wore a coffee sack for a shirt and a tin pan for a hat. He cooked his meals in the pan.

Johnny Appleseed was a folk hero during his lifetime and has become a legend today. Many of the orchards still existing in the eastern United States are memorial to his love of the land and for his fellow countrymen.
