Well, farmers and owners of public eating places might happily agree. So might the nations Meat Institute and the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council. But people whose favorite are pizza and apple pie would give the meat-lovers a spirited argument! Naming the favorite foods of Americans depends a lot on whom you ask. But one thing is sure.

For example, that traditional American favorite, the hot dog, had its modern beginning in Germany. The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council estimates that Americans eat about seven thousand million of these sausage during a summer. Americans also eat lots of hamburgers.

Section CResearchers say they have found that fatness can spread from person to person in social groups. When one person gains weight, close friends often gain weight, too. As a result, the researchers were able to examine more than forty thousand social ties. The study found that the sex of friends is also an influence. In same-sex friendships, a person has a seventy-one percent increased risk of getting fat. The same was true for brothers and sisters separately. A man has a forty-four percent increased risk is sixty-seven percent. The study also showed that physical closeness of family members and friends did little to increase a persons risk. A friend who lives a few hundred kilometers away has as much influence as one in your neighborhood. The study demonstrates the need to consider that a major part of a persons health id tied to his or her social connections.SCET-2綜合訓練（下冊）（4）Part I： Listening Comprehension 15%1-5 ACDDC 6-10ABBCA 11-12DB13.

Why such a long break? Because long ago, young people had to help their families harvest the summer crops. At least this is what people today may think. The reason has more to it. In the early days of the United States, children were not required by law to attend school. School calendars depended on local needs. Students in rural areas went to school for no more than six months of the year-half in the summer and half in the winter. They worked on family farms during the other months. City schools were open much longer, some for eleven months of the year. National leaders took a fresh look at schools after the Civil War, in the 1860s. They saw a free public education as a way to help support a strong democracy and prepare workers for new industries. Some experts think the traditional school calendar needs to change because the needs of the nation have changed. This thinking has led some schools to keep students in class longer.SCET-2綜合訓練（下冊）（5）Part I： Listening Comprehension 15%1-5 CBBDA 6-10 ACAAD 11-12 CD13. medical 14. deadliest 15. desert 16. severe 17. present 18. defenses附：聽力文本Section A 1.
