听力原文： Penury was what people called a mystery man. We had known him for over seven years, ever since he became a member of our modest club, but be had a way of keeping his private lift to himself in all but the unessential details. We knew his address, though he never invited us to his home, and his age, too, but only unimportant matters of this kind. It seemed that he did not have to work for a living as we did, in our various ways. He had once hinted about an inheritance on which he managed to live comfortably. He was not, however, a man of luxurious habits: he was not especially well dressed and he did not even have a car. At the age of forty-five he was still a bachelor though. Since marriage was not a subject he ever discussed we had no means of finding out whether he regretted not having a wife.
Penury disappeared suddenly from our circle and shortly afterwards we came to learn the first really solid facts about our mystery man. From reports that appeared in the newspapers, together with photographs of the man who was without doubt, our Mr. Penury, it was revealed that he was the most accomplished burglar in the London area; and that he had practiced this profession for many years, until he was arrested and sent to prison.

A．Because nobody knew his address.
B．Because nobody knew his age.
C．Because Penury's private life was a secret.
D．Because Penury was still a bachelor at the age of forty-five.
听力原文：M: Hi, Sarah. What's up？
W: Oh, hi. I just got out of a history class. I had to give a presentation.
M: How did it go？
W: Terribly. I'm sure I made a fool of myself.
M: Why？ Weren't you prepared？
W: No, it's not that. 1 just get so embarrassed and nervous whenever 1 have to speak in front of a group of people. I stand up and my Pace gets red and...then I get even more nervous because I know everyone can see me blushing.
M: It is not so bad to blush.
W: But it happens all the time. If the professor asks a question and I know the answer, I'll blush like crazy if he calls oil me. Doesn't that ever happen to you？
M: No, not really. Maybe you should try to forget about the people. Look at something else in the room, like the exit sign.
W: I guess I could try that. But I doubt that it'll help.
M: You know we talked about this in psychology class. Blushing, even though it's involuntary, is more or less a learned behavior.
W: What do you mean？
M: Oh, children hardly ever blush at all. And, among adults, supposedly women blush more than men.
W: I wonder why.
M: l don't know. But I had a friend in high school, Brian Smith. It was really easy to make him blush. He turned red whenever a waitress would ask him for his order.
W: I'm not that bad. Well, I've got to get going for my next class. I'll talk to you later.

Directions: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Fifteen years ago, I entered the Boston Globe, which was a temple to me then. It wasn't easy getting hired. I had to fight my way into a dime-a-word job. But once you were there, I found, you were in.
Globe jobs were for life—guaranteed until retirement. For 15 years I had prospered there—moving from, an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senior editor. I would have a lifetime of security if I stuck with it.
Instead, I had made a decision to leave.
I entered my boss's office, would he rage？ I wondered. He had a famous temper. "Matt, we have to have a talk," I began awkwardly. "I came to the Globe when I was twenty-four. Now l'm forty. There's a lot I want to do in life. I'm resigning."
"To another paper？" he asked.
I reached into my coat pocket, but didn't say anything, not trusting myself just then.
I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new media company. That the Globe had taught me in a thousand ways. That we were at a rare turning point in history. I wanted to be directly engaged in the change. "I'm glad for you," he said, quite out of my expectation. "I just came from a board of directors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news. Some of that we can deal with. But much of it we can't," he went on. "I wish you all the luck in the world, " he concluded. "And if it doesn't work out, remember, your star is always high here."
Then I went out of his office, walking through the newsroom for more good-byes. Everybody was saying congratulations. Everybody—even though I'd be risking all on an unfamiliar venture: all the financial security I had carefully built up.
Later, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman and publisher of the Boston Globe. He had turned the Globe into a billion dollar property.
"I'm resigning, Bill," I said. He listened while I gave him the story. He wasn't looking angry of dismayed either.
After a pause, he said, "Golly, I wish I were in your shoes."
From the passage we know that the Globe is a famous ______.
A．newspaper
B．magazine
C．temple
D．church
You could see it in our games. Nobody organized them. There weren't any competitive sports. But we took part in lots of activities and we were organized, not in the sense that there were wars of finding out who had won and who had lost. We played balls like everyone else, but no one kept scores. Even if we did formally take part in the games we played, no one was a winner though someone may have won. It was only at that moment. If you beat someone by pulling a bow (弓) and arrow (箭) and shooting the arrow further, it didn't mean you were better in any way. It just meant that at that particular time the arrow went further; maybe it was just the way you let the bow go. These kinds of things are very important to me and that is why I am talking about them.
One of the very important things was the relationship we had with our families. We didn't always live at home. We lived wherever we happened to be at that particular time when it got dark. If you were two or three miles away from home, then that was where you slept.
According to the writer, in India ______.
A．all the people were kind and equal in different activities
B．all the people quarreled with each other in every fight
C．people often took part in different fights
D．every child tried to climb to the top of ail the activities
But somewhere along the line we have to learn to make our own decisions about value. There's a common law of economics that states that many poor people will stay poor because of the decisions that they make about how to spend their money. How many people have you known or known of, for example, who have little money yet who buy a very expensive car with high monthly payments？ And how many people are in trouble right now because they bought houses that were more expensive than they could afford？
While I wouldn't say that the answer to our money issues would be to skimp and save every penny and never have any fun in life, it is important that we learn about value and about when to spend how much. A few years ago, for example, my wife and I had cell phones. At the time I worked half an hour from home, I was on the road with sports teams a lot, and my wife also was on the road quite a bit. The cell phones made sense, even though we didn't use them much—at least we knew that if anything happened, we could contact one another.
Then we moved someplace where we didn't need the phones any more, for we both worked close to one another and we weren't on the road much. Suddenly, the $ 75 every month to keep the phones made no sense, so we got rid of them. They were now just a luxury item, no longer as necessary as they were before. They simply didn't have the same value that they had had before. And even though it had been quite convenient to make an occasional phone call from wherever I happened to be, that convenience was no longer worth the amount of money we would have had to pay to maintain it.
The best that we can do is to learn to define the value of our money for ourselves and to exchange our money for goods and services that have equal or even greater value. Money is here, and it's a part of our lives. We can live with it and have it work for us, or we can squander it and lose it and become angry and frustrated with our loss. The choice is ours, but one thing is for sure—the path to happiness doesn't lie in exchanging our money for goods or services of little value; rather, we need to make sure that the money we spend is money well spent. Only then can we avoid the resentment and frustration that will come over having wasted money when we didn't need to.
We can learn from the first paragraph that ______.
A．people are getting much richer than before
B．it's necessary for people to accept the concept of exchanging the money for something of comparable value
C．there is a decline in product quality that people have to renew them all the time
D．commercials are making us happier and more content
