Listen to the passage and tell whether the following statements are true or false (判断下列 句子是否符合你听到的内容，符合的用“T”表示，不符合的用“F”表示）：‎ People traveled to foreign countries because they thought the countries would be different from their home—the buildings, the food, and the national dress. Nowadays, however, one large city is pretty much like another. Almost all the big cities of the world have McDonald s, KFC and Pizza Hut. Office buildings look the same everywhere. And of course, people are driving the same brands of Japanese or European cars. They usually wear the same kinds of clothes and watch the same American movies and even TV shows. Airports are almost the same everywhere and the world’s airlines are all flying the same aircraft.‎ Most tourists travel overseas to learn about tradition rather than modern foreign cultures. The words “cultural tourism” are now part of the language of tourism，and the museums and works of art in many countries are their main attractions.‎ Finally, there is perhaps a nation's greatest attraction： its people. A nation is not just its historical buildings, its works of art or beautiful places； it is also the people who live there. This is why a country such as Thailand attracts millions of people every year.‎ D. Listen to the passage and complete the following sentences(听短文，完成下列句子。每空 格限填一词）‎ Jenny is a teenage girl. She thinks she is a bit too fat, or rather too strong. But ‎ she doesn't know how she became that way. Nowadays people become interested in losing weight because overweight can bring about many diseases. Jenny made up her mind to follow other's example and plans to lose weight as well. Sometimes she feels so unhappy without knowing why. At that time, she often goes out to restaurants, bars and cafeterias for food. The things she likes to eat include bread, biscuits and chocolates. Although she feels full in her stomach, she can't stop eating because of the enjoyment she gets. She is a little worried about her behavior and thinks that she might have an unknown disease or an unhealthy mind.‎ With these questions, Jenny went to see a doctor. The doctor didn’t think she had a disease, but suggested that she needed self-control. Doctors often say, “eat less and exercise more, you'll be healthy. but one needs discipline to follow this advice. Since Jenny said she enjoyed eating although she felt very full, the doctor thought this might be because Jenny wanted to forget about finishing work or doing some difficult homework. Her feeling of unhappiness could come from something deeper, such as problems with family members of friends. The doctor said that Jenny needed to talk to someone over the phone, playing with friends or drinking extra tea. These methods could help Jenny develop habits of eating and become healthy again.‎
