Mr John has paid much attention to his weight reduction programs. Just last year, for exam

ple, when he was the main speaker at the company dinner, he said he had put on 30 pounds instead of losing the forty he had promised he would.

The year before that, he joined a health club. He exercised every day and ate less food. After three months however he began making excuses about why he couldn't go there more often.

As the health club failed to work, he joined Weight Watchers but stopped going because he was the only man there. And he hates following any of the diet programs. John's latest action is to join a walking club to "walk off" the weight.

He was ______ when he spoke at the company dinner last year.

A．lighter than the year before

B．heavier than the year before

C．with the Weight Watchers

D．planning to go on diet

听力原文： If a contemporary Rip Van Winkle had slept for forty years and awakened today, h

e would have to go back to school before he could understand a daily newspaper or a magazine. Many new words have been added to the English language in the past forty years; and since Shakespeare's time the number of words in the language has increased more than five times, from about 140,000 to somewhere between 700,000 and 800,000. Most of these new words have not come from borrowing, but from the natural growth of language-adaptation of elements already in the language.

The language has always changed, but the rate of change has been uneven. The most important of these periods occurred during the two hundred and fifty years after 1066, the year the Norman conquered England. Before the conquest, the inhabitants of England spoke Anglo-Saxon, a complex Germanic language. The Normans were Norsemen who, after generations of raiding, had settled in northern France in the tenth century and by 1066 were speaking a form. of French. After their conquest of England they instituted Norman French as the dominant language--the language of the upper classes, of law, of government, and of such commerce as there was.

Why did a contemporary Rip Van Winkle have to get educated to read the English newspaper？

A．Because many new words have been added to English.

B．Because he was illiterate before he went to sleep years ago.

C．Because after the accident, he lost his memory.

D．Because he was a Hungarian and couldn't read English.

听力原文：More than 40 years ago, John Williams gave away all of his belongings and went of

听力原文： More than 40 years ago, John Williams gave away all of his belongings and went off to the mountains to live the way people lived 100 years ago. For food he traps wild animals, fishes in the rivers, and plants whatever he can. John lives in a cabin he made by hand, out of trees he chopped down with an ax. Though he has no relatives that he knows of, he does have a deer he raised from a fawn. The deer lives in the house in the winter and goes with John when he goes into the forest mountains and John has not been out of the mountains during the entire forty years. One day last year I hiked in to see how John lives. It was like going back in time. There were no roads, no stores, no noise, no pollution, not even a post office.

Most notable of all, there were no people and that's just the way John Williams wants to keep his part of the world without people. But there is a paradox in his story. John is an educated man. He has books and nobody knows how he got them. Mostly he reads about his world, the forest, the animals, the plants, and the mountains. He has seen airplanes flying overhead but does not want to know about them. For him, electricity's lightning. John Williams is 85 years old and has not had a sick day in his life. He attributes his long life to the fact that he has nothing to do with people and in order that he might enjoy many more years of health, happiness, and solitude. I will not tell you where his kingdom lies. There is no room there for you or me.

John Williams' house is made of

A．wood.

B．bricks.

C．animal skin.

D．old stones.
