Roberts found that the presence of an audience facilitates what you already know how to do. That is, if you know what you are doing, having an audience helps you do it if you don’t already know how to do something, you will probably make some mistakes and you will make mistakes for a longer time if you have an audience.

There is a wide selection of food available. They have a broader knowledge of nutrition, so they buy more fresh fruit and vegetables than ever before. At the same time, Americans purchase increasing quantities of sweets and sodas. Statistics show that the way people live determines the way they eat. American lifestyles have changed. There are now growing numbers of people who live alone, single parents and children, and doubleine families. These changing life styles are responsible for the incresing number of people who must rush meals or sometimes simply go without them. Many Americans have less time than ever before to spend preparing food. Partly as a consequence of this limited time, over half of all American homes now have microwave ovens. Moreover, Americans eat out nearly four times a week on average. It is easy to study the amounts and kinds of food that people consume. The United States Department of Agriculture and the food industry collect sales statistics and keep accurate records. This information not only tells us what people are eating but also tells us about the changes in attitudes and tastes. Red meat, which used to be the most popular choice for dinner, is no longer an American favorite. Instead, chicken, turkey, and fish have bee more popular. Sales of these foods have greatly increased in recent years. 2020年 12月四级真题听力题目 (第二套 ) Section A Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.
