Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
If, at the end of a conversation somebody says to me, "as soon as I know, I'll ring you up", he is talking too much for granted. He is proposing to attempt the impossible. So I have to say, "I'm afraid you can't. You see. I'm not on the telephone. I just haven't got a telephone."
Why don't you have a telephone? Not because I pretend to be wise or pose as unusual. There are two chief reasons: because I don't really like the telephone I find I can still work and play, eat, breathe and sleep without it. Why don't I like the telephone? Because I think it is a pest and a time-waster. It may create unnecessary suspense and anxiety, as when you wait for an expected call that doesn't come; or irritating delay, as when you keep ringing a number that is always engaged. As for speaking in a public telephone box, which seems to me really horrible. You would not use it unless you were in a hurry, and because you are in a hurry you will find other people waiting before you. When you do get into the box, you are half asphyxiated by stale, unventilated air, flavored with cheap face-powder and chain-smoking; and by the time you have begun your conversation your back is chilled by the cold look of somebody who is fidgeting to take your place.
If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you least want it to ring; when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going out, or when you are in your bath. Are you strong-minded enough to ignore it, to say to yourself, "Ah, well, it will all be the same in a hundred years' time. You are not. You think there may be some important news or message for you. Have you never rushed dripping from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number?
Suppose you ignore the telephone when it rings, and suppose that, for once, somebody has an important message for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Think of the proverb: "ill news travels apace." I must say good news seems to travel just as fast. And think of the saying: "the truth will out." It will.
The write does not like telephone in a public telephone box, because ______.
A.unventilated air
B.it is far from his home
C.it is not convenient
D.he must pay for it

听力原文: The solution,both to prevent the excesses of praise and the humiliation of criticism,is to stop caring what other people think of you. Take what is actionable from their feedback and ignore the rest.Since you are the sole captain of your life,don't allow others to steer the ship.If I write an article,I generally receive a mix of positive comments and negative comments.For criticism,I seek out any actionable suggestions from their comments.If someone notes that I made a grammatical mistake in an article,I'll happily correct it.Or,if someone feels the logic of my argument was weak,I can make efforts to correct it in a future discussion of the topic.For praise,I take a similar approach.I thank the person for their comment,and see if there is anything actionable from their suggestion.If several people enjoyed a topic,I'll know it is something readers are interested in and worth discussing again.What I strive not to do,with both praise and criticism,is to let it get under my skin.If someone writes an attack on my writing,I'll remind myself that this comment is just a small stone on my course,and not to allow it to stop me.Similarly,if I get a piece of praise,I'll remind myself that this is just one view,and not to let it distract me from the bigger goal.
According to the speaker,what is the solution to prevent excessive praise and criticism?
A.Accepting the criticism and ignore the praise.
B.Understanding the reason behind people's criticism.
C.Stopping caring other people's opinions.
D.Smiling to all the praise and criticism.

Life at Home in the Year 2040
Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off and on again when you return. You will choose the temperature for each room, the lighting and the humidity. A sensor will detect the presence of a human (and, with luck, ignore the dog! ) and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.
The sensors will work through the central computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, plugs or switches, isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the fire brigade. It will also call the police should the sensors detect an intruder. This will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You will open them using your personal card--the one you use for shopping--maybe using a number known only to you.
It will be impossible to lose the key, and a housebreaker will have to tamper (拨弄) with the lock or with a window. It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.
The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant. It will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment will come right into your home. It does now, of course, but by 2040 "entertainment" will mean much more. For one thing, you will be able to take part actively, rather than just watching.

A: I've come about your offer for bristles.
B: We have the offer ready for you. Let me see... Here it is. 100 cases of Tsingtao Bristles, 57mm, at... pounds sterling per kilogram, CIF European Main Ports, for shipment in June, 2009. The offer is valid for three days.
A: Why, your price has soared.It's almost 25 % higher than last year's. It would be impossible for us to push any sales at such a price.
B: I'm a little surprised to hear you say that. You know very well that market for bristles has gone up a great deal in recent months. The price we offer compares favourably with quotations you can get elsewhere.
A: I'm afraid I can't agree with you there. I must point out that your price is higher than some of the quotations we have received from other sources.
B: But you must take the quality into consideration. Everyone in the trade knows that China's bristles are of superior quality to those from other countries.
A: I agree that yours are of better quality. But there's competition from synthetic products, too. You can't ignore that prices for synthetic bristles haven't changed much over the years.
B: There's practically no substitute for bristles for certain uses. That's why demand for natural bristles keeps rising in spite of cheaper synthetic ones. To be frank with you, if it were not for the long-standing relationship between us, we would hardly be willing to make you a firm offer at this price.
A: Well, we'll have a lot of difficulties in persuading our clients to buy at this price. But I'll have to try, I suppose.
