[00:01.21]Directions: In this section,

[00:04.43]you will hear a passage three times.

[00:06.77]When the passage is read for the first time,

[00:09.45]you should listen carefully for its general idea.

[00:12.36]When the passage is read for the second time,

[00:15.27]you are required to fill in the blanks

[00:18.64]with the exact words you have just heard.

[00:20.48]Finally, when the passage is read for the third time,

[00:24.32]you should check what you have written.

[00:29.60]Now listen to the passage.

[00:31.03]Americans today have different eating habits

[00:34.97]than they had in the past.

[00:36.99]There is a wide selection of food available.

[00:40.12]They have a broader knowledge of nutrition,

[00:44.26]so they buy more fresh fruit and vegetables

[00:47.39]than ever before.

[00:48.74]At the same time,

[00:51.04]Americans purchase increasing quantities of

[00:54.24]sweets and sodas.

[00:55.48]Statistics show that the way people live

[01:01.08]determines the way they eat.

[01:02.72]American lifestyles have changed.

[01:05.56]There are now growing numbers of people

[01:08.63]who live alone, single parents and children,

[01:12.10]and double-income families.

[01:14.12]These changing lifestyles are responsible for

[01:18.21]the increasing number of people

[01:20.24]who must rush meals

[01:21.92]or sometimes simply go without them.

[01:24.35]Many Americans have less time than ever before

[01:29.38]to spend preparing food.

[01:30.59]Partly as a consequence of this limited time,

[01:35.72]over half of all American homes now

[01:38.62]have microwave ovens.

[01:40.93]Moreover, Americans eat out

[01:44.16]nearly four times a week on average.

[01:45.79]It is easy to study the amounts

[01:49.12]and kinds of food that people consume.

[01:52.54]The United States Department of Agriculture

[01:55.40]and the food industry collect sales statistics

[01:57.97]and keep accurate records.

[02:01.77]This information not only tells us

[02:04.92]what people are eating,

[02:06.67]but also tells us about the changes

[02:08.60]in attitudes and tastes.

[02:10.30]Red meat,

[02:12.66]which used to be the most popular choice for dinner,

[02:15.88]is no longer an American favorite.

[02:18.25]Instead, chicken, turkey and fish

[02:22.05]have become more popular.

[02:23.79]Sales of these foods have greatly increased

[02:27.00]in recent years.

[02:28.78]Now the passage will be read again.
