Always rather sharp, she began losing her temper over little things so that John's father kept his thoughts to himself more and more.

听力原文： My first semester of college was the worst I've been through. I had made plans during the summer to share an apartment with two of my close friends from high school. But before we moved in, problems started developing.
One of the two girls I was to share an apartment with was going to work instead of going to college. However, a week before we were to move in, she found out that she didn't get the job. She was forced to live at home and look for work. The rest two of us lasted for a month and then agreed that we couldn't make it with the higher monthly rent payments. I started looking around.
I found another apartment and the rent wasn't bad. The place was noisy, but it was the best I could afford for the time. However, one clay when I returned, I saw smoke coming from the back of the house. The cottage had caught fire, and my room was a burned mess. I was once more out of a place to stay.
I finally gave up looking around and moved home. I had to drive forty miles to school every day, so I almost spent as much on gas as I would have on lodging. I was very bored. I almost lost the will to study. It had been really a bad semester!

听力原文： Amy Johnson was a very ambitious and energetic person. She didn't have much in common with other girls in her school, however. She played football better than most boys, and unfortunately she made a rather bad impression on many of her teachers. Amy just didn't act the way they thought a girl should. She studied at a university and later took a job as a typist. Although she was enthusiastic and did her best, she made a lot of mistakes and was poorly paid. She didn't want to be a typist anyway -- she dreamed of becoming a pilot!
Amy moved to London, borrowed some money, and learned to fly. Nobody, however, wanted to hire a female pilot. She decided to fly alone to Australia to prove that she could fly as well as any man. Her parents lent her money to buy an airplane.
Amy set off on May 5,1930. Her route took over Vienna, Constantinople, and Baghdad. She was caught in a sandstorm and had to make an emergency landing in the desert. But she landed in India six days later. She had broken the record to India by two days. Over Burma, she ran into a monsoon, and was able to save herself only by landing on a football field. She finally reached Australia. The plane propeller had been broken during her last landing, and she had to crash-land. But Amy had proved that she could fly -- and that a woman could do almost anything she really put her mind to.
(33)
A．Because she played football better than most boys.
B．Because she made a lot of mistakes though she did-her best.
C．Because she performed poorly in her studies.
D．Because she didn't act the way the teachers thought a girl should.
听力原文： I was a freshman in law school. In a few years I would be out in practice. I was well aware of the importance of the right kind of wife in furthering a lawyer's career. Successful lawyers were, almost without exception, married to beautiful, gracious, intelligent women. With one omission, Polly fitted these specifications perfectly.
I had long wanted Polly. My desire for this young woman was not emotional in nature. I wanted Polly simply because she had the makings of a fit wife for me. She was beautiful, gracious, but not intelligent. Yet, I believed that under my guidance, she would make a qualified wife for me. It is, after all, easier to make a beautiful dumb girl smart than to make an ugly smart girl beautiful. After our very first date, I detected that the biggest problem with her was that she did not know how to think. So I decided to give her lessons in logic.
Fortunately, my efforts proved worthwhile. I had made a logician out of Polly, and she was worthy of me at last. Thus, the time had come to acquaint her with my affection. To my astonishment, Polly turned me down. She employed all that I had taught her to reject me. I was completely defeated. In my frustration, an old saying flashed into my mind, "Pick up a stone only to drop it on one's own feet".
(26)
A．Philosophy.
B．Psychology.
C．Logic.
D．Law.

Lucy Robertson started working at a take-away food business to supplement her income during her student days at Edinburgh University. Several years later she had bought the business and now， 17 years on， she owns Grapevine Caterers， probably Scotland"s leading independent caterers， with a turnover of almost ε6m.
She had never planned to own a business， and had certainly never considered a career in catering. （0）...G… However， her unplanned career began in 1985， when she returned to Edinburgh and discovered that the takeaway she had worked in was up for sale. On impulse， she bought it， but admits that at the time she knew nothing about catering. （8）.....It was a difficult time， but essential in terms of gaining the experience she needed. The late 1980s boom was good for business， with large numbers of office workers wanting takeaway food for their lunches. （9）..... "At one point there were 26 food outlets within a 5-kilometre radius，" Robertson recalls， as the economy changed and the once packed office blocks started to become vacant， it became clear that Robertson would need to diversify. （10）......It changed the direction of the company for good.
As Robertson began to win catering contracts， she decided that the company would have to move to larger premises. In 1994， the move was made when she bought another catering business that already had a number of profitable contracts for boardroom lunches.
Meanwhile， Robertson"s main competitor， the oldest catering company in Edinburgh， was causing her some anxiety. "Customer loyally is not to be underestimated，" she warns. But Robertson is not someone who is easily put off. （11）...... Partly as a result of this， turnover doubled， and having outgrown another site， Robertson bought a city-centre location for the group"s headquarters.
By now， Grapevine"s main competitor was a new catering company called Towngates. Although Robertson tried to raise enough money to buy Towngates， she did not succeed. Then luck intervened and Towngates went bankrupt. （12）......Many accepted and the company"s turnover went from ε700，000 to ε1.5 million almost overnight.
However， the company"s growth was not as smooth as it sounds in retrospect. Robertson admits， "We were close to the edge during the growth period. Like many under-capitalized companies trying to grow， it might easily have collapsed." But that， she feels， is the challenge of developing your own business.
A．But there are plenty of similar contracts to be won in the east of Scotland before Robertson turns her attention elsewhere.
B．Her way round this particular problem was to recruit the catering manager of the rival company.
C．But this demand was short-lived， and before long， increasing competition made it harder to make a profit.
D．"It was a dramatic learning curve and very small amounts of money were earned at first，" says Robertson.
E．She decided that the solution， since many companies required working lunches for meetings with clients， was to prepare and deliver meals to business premises.
F．On hearing this， Robertson immediately contacted all of their clients and offered the services of Grapevine Caterers.
G．Instead， she studied accountancy after leaving university， and a steady if unspectacular professional path seemed set.

听力原文： Not many couples stay married for 50 years. Even fewer do so for 75 years. It's almost impossible for a couple to be married for 85 years. But that's exactly what Henry and Maggie Thurston did.
Henry was born on a farm in Iowa in 1857. At the age of 18 he went to Chicago to attend the university. There he met Maggie who had come from Cleveland to study art. She was one year younger.
This was a true case of love at first sight. They got married in 1876, less than six months after they met. In 1877 their first son, Jack, was born. By 1885 they had five children, including their third son, Lou, who became a well-known writer. From 1900 to 1915 Henry and Maggie became grandparents thirty one times.
On February 14th, 1961, they celebrated their 85th wedding anniversary. The day they had chosen for their wedding day had become Valentine's Day. Over one hundred newsmen came to report on the event. The couple was seen on national TV. Most amazing of all, though, was the fact that over 1,500 relatives were also present. The youngest was a three-week-old baby girl. Henry and Maggie were old. He was 104 and she was 103.

听力原文： In her early days as an emergency room physician, Doctor Joanna Myer treated a child who had suffered a second degree burn. After the child had been treated and was being prepared for discharge, Doctor Myer talked to the parents about how they should care for the child at home. Also listening to her were a half a dozen other family members. A few hours later, when she came to say goodbye, the family asked her to settle an argument they'd been having over exactly what advice she had given. "As I talked to them, 1 was amazed". she said, "All of them had heard the simple instructions I have given just a few hours before, but they have three or four different versions. The most basic details were unclear and confusing. I was surprised, because these were intelligent people". This episode gave Doctor Myer her first clue to something every doctor learns sooner or later—most people just don't listen very well. Nowadays, she says she repeats her instructions, and even conducts a reality check with some patients. She asks them to tell her what they think they are supposed to do. She also provides take-home sheets which are computer printouts tailored to the patients' situation. Doctor Myer's listeners are not unusual. When new or difficult material is presented, almost all listeners are faced with the challenge because human speech lacks the stability and permanence of the printed word. Oral communication is fast-moving and impermanent.
Questions:
What did the child's family members argue about in the hospital？
What does Doctor Myer do to insure her patients understand her instructions？
What does the speaker say about human speech？
(30)
A．Whether they should take the child home.
B．What Dr. Myer's instructions exactly were.
C．Who should take care of the child at home.
D．When the child would completely recover.
