M: I think in the beginning they were looking for a chance to be famous. I don't think they were sure about what they were able to achieve.
W: Could either of them have done it alone?
M: Neither brother could have flown alone. It was the work of two minds. Two minds that came together at some point and became one. That's what happened.
W: What did the people in the neighborhood think of the Wright brothers?
M: Most people were interested in the Wright brothers. But I think some of them were worried. You see, here are two men flying kites in the mid- dle of the day when they should be working. The men, I think, were curious about what was going on there. The children were excited to see these two men flying kites just like they were children. But I think the women were afraid.
What were the Wright brothers trying to do in the first place?
A.They wanted to attract public attention.
B.They tried to become skillful at flying.

Both games had been invented a thousand years before. In the first kind of football game ever played, all the men from one village tried to kick a ball into another village. The men of the second village tried to kick the ball into the first. Hundreds of people joined in, running everywhere, running crops and knocking down fences. In time, people agreed on some rules to keep order, but many roles were left open to change. Different rules developed in different places.
When the two colleges met to play football, each followed its own rules. They mixed the games together and invented a new game. A hundred years later we call that game American football.
In what ways do you suppose the game we know now will have changed in another hundred years?
When the two colleges first met to play "football", the players followed ______.
A.the rules of soccer
B.the rules of rugby
C.different rules
D.college rules
听力原文: Two men on a touring holiday of Britain were injured by an explosion in their motor caravan in the center of Norwich yesterday.
Shoppers, traders and businessmen in Red Lion Street were startled by a loud bang, and seconds later the two men leapt from the vehicle, which had stopped outside Barclays Bank.

The first man managed to get through the dinner successfully, but by the end of the evening he had had a lot to drink, and began to get careless.

When the two friends were out of the house, the second man said to his friend, "You certainly made a fool of yourself making that silly remark about scotch."

“In my opinion,” the first man said, “the Egyptian pyramids(埃及金字塔)are the world’s greatest wonder. Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them had only simple tools. They did not have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today.”
“I agree that the pyramids in Egypt are wonderful,” the second man said, “but I do not think they are the greatest wonder. I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids. They have taken people to the moon and brought them back safely. In seconds, they carry out mathematical calculations that would take a person a hundred years to do.”
He turned to the third man and asked, “What do you think is the greatest wonder in the world?”
The third man thought for a long time, and then he said, “Well, I agree that the pyramids are wonderful, and I agree that computers are wonderful, too. However, in my opinion, the most wonderful thing in the world is this thermos.”
And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up.
The other two men were very surprised. “A thermos?” they exclaimed. “But that’s a simple thing.”
“Oh, no, it’s not,” the third man said. “In the winter you put in a hot drink and it stays hot. In the summer you put in a cold drink and it stays cold. How does the thermos know whether it’s winter or summer?”
