W: What kinds of questions?
M: You took an English class from Professor Sanford, didn't you?
W: Yes.
M: Well, I've heard lots about her and I'mthinking about taking her Basics in English class next semester.
W: Don't do it.
M: Why? You didn't like the class?
W: The class was interesting enough, but Professor Sanford is one of the most difficult teachers I have ever had. She expects a great deal from her students, so if you plan to take the course, be prepared to work very hard. I remember doing homework for at least three hours a day, just for her class. It was very tiring because I still had to do the work for all my other clasps. She's an extremely intelligent person and so she expects similar brilliance from her students.
M: What about the woman herself? Is she reasonable?
W: Yes, she most definitely is. She loves her students and is very understanding of our problems. She was always available before, during, and after classes to help us with any ideas we couldn't understand. I really liked her as a person. I just hated all the reading we had to do in classical literature.
M: Well, I happen to like classical literature.
W: Then, you'll love the class.I was more interested in theory, and we barely touched that. What a semester!

听力原文:M: You like living in New York, don't you?
W: Oh, I love it. It's so convenient. I can take the bus to work or the subway or a taxi. And there's so much to do.
M: I know what you mean. I'd like to live in the city, but living in the suburbs is better for Michelle. Trees, grass. There are a lot of good things about suburban living.
W: I grew up in suburbs, remember? So I know. But, as a working woman, I think New York has all the conveniences, including the best tomatoes.
M: The truth is, Michelle has lived in suburbs for more than ten years. It is very hard for her to leave her friends.
W: I don't think so. Michelle is at the right age. There are lots of things for her here.

W: You and everyone else. It looks like a campground than a library.
M: Well, the dorm's too noisy to study in, and I guess this place is too quiet.
W: Have you had any luck finding a topic for your paper?
M: No. Prof. Grant told us to write about anything in cultural anthropology. For once I wish she hadn't given us so much of a choice.
W: Well, why not write about the ancient civilizations of Mexico. You seem to be interested in that part of the world.
M: I am. But there is too much material to coven I'll be writing forever, and Grant only wants five to seven pages.
W: So then limit it to one region of Mexico. Say the Ukatun. You've been there and you said it's got lots of interesting relics.
M: That's not a bad idea. I bought plenty of books and things back with me last summer. That would be great resource material. Now if I can only remember where I put them.

Ever since I was very small, I've had the sense that I ought to be somewhere else. I remember watching trains flash by and wishing ! was on board. I remember going to the airport with my parents when I was thirteen and reading the destinations board, seeing all the places that I could go to: Los Angeles, Chicago, and London.
But the trains passed by and the planes took off without me, so I wandered the world through books. I went to Victorian England in the pages of Middlemarch and A Little Princess, and to St. Petersburg before the fall of the star with Anna Karenina.
My home was in a pleasant place outside Philadelphia. But ! really lived, truly lived, somewhere else. I lived within the covers of books. In books I traveled, not only to other worlds, but also into my own. I learned who I was and who I wanted to be, what I might achieve, and what I might dare to dream about my world and myself.
I travel today in the way .I once dreamed of traveling as a child — on airplanes and in trains. And the irony is that I don't care for it very much. I am the sort of person who prefers to stay at home, surrounded by family, friends and books. The only thing I do like about traveling is the time on airplanes spent reading.
It turns out that when my younger self thought of taking wing, she wanted only to let her spirit soar. Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the real destinations, and the journey, too. They are home.
What did the writer do as a curious child?
A.She visited Victorian England and Tsarist Russia.
B.She flew to Los Angeles, Chicago and London with her parents.
C.She read all kinds of books.
D.She spent lots of time traveling on trains.

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
听力原文:W: What are you working now?
M: (19)I've just finished a piece of background music.
W: Background music?
M: Yes. (21)It’s supposed to influence your attitude, put you in the right mood.
W: I'm not sure I like that idea.
M: It seems to work. Factories use it a lot. (20) It makes the workers happy and work better that way. In one factory, music increased production 4.5%.
W: I think they'd get tired of hearing music all day.
M: They don't. If the music stops, somebody always runs to the telephone to complain.
W: I can't remember when there wasn't background music.
M: Actually, it started during WWII when some factories had their own orchestras to keep workers happy and calm. Now the music is piped in by a machine, and different kinds of music are played at different times during the day. They play faster music at ten in the morning than at eight, because workers tend to be slower then.
W: What about restaurants? Do they play the same music for dinner or lunch?
M: I don't know. But I know hamburger places play fast music because they found a customer spent only seventeen minutes eating. The time was twenty-two minutes before that.
W: (22)80 they have more people coming in and out to buy hamburgers.
M: Exactly. (21)And that's good for business. You can see why music has become so popular.
W: There's still something about it that I don't quite like.
M: I know what you mean, but lots of people would not agree with you. Companies pay millions of dollars every year for background music. Prisons use it, and farmers use it to keep their cattle calm. It's even supposed to have an effect on plants.
