听力原文: Ten years ago a small boy fell off his bicycle because he wanted to look behind. This gave Billy Morgan, a British businessman, a new idea. He designed a bicycle helmet with a built-in minor.
Mr. Morgan launched the product six months ago, and it now has sales of 27,000 and sells in twelve countries from Korea to Finland. The target for the second year is for sales of nearly 1 million pounds.
But it wasn't easy for Mr. Morgan to become successful. He had problems when he tried to interest UK manufacturers in making the helmet. It cost Mr. Morgan 1 million pounds of his own money to develop the helmet for the mass market.
Mr. Morgan found a helmet-maker in France. He worked with French consultants to make the design better for mass production, and spent £ 450,000 on preparing the French plant to make the helmet.
Now he plans to do more research and development. He wants to manufacture other designs of rearview helmets for motorcycling, skiing and horse-riding.

C.A manufacturing problem.

It was Christmas Eve when I arrived, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, shining against the green of a pine.
"Where did it come from?" I asked.
"I asked the gate boy to cut it ," my mother said, "I wouldn't have one just for myself, but when called--oh, such a rush ! He just brought it in this afternoon." Krysal Star was in its place. A few green branches reached about a little disorderly at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas.
"It's not like the one you used to find," my mother went on, "Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the gate boy didn't know where to look . But I couldn't be critical."
"Don’t worry," I told him, "It’s perfect."

As a boy he was taught by his father to hunt and fish along the shores and in the forests around Lake Michigan. The Hemingways had a summer house in northern Michigan, and the family would spend the summer months there trying to stay cool. Hemingway would either fish the different streams that ran into the lake, or would take the small boat out to do some fishing there. He would also go squirrel hunting in the woods, discovering early in life the peace to be found while alone in the forest or going through a stream. It was something he could always go back to throughout his life, and though he often found himself living in major cities like Chicago, Toronto and Paris early in his life, once he became successful he chose somewhat isolated places to live in.
When he wasn't hunting or fishing his mother taught him the good points of music. She was a skilled singer who once had wished a life on stage, but at last settled down with her husband and spent her time by giving voice and music lessons to local children, including her own. Hemingway was never talented for music and suffered through singing practices and music lessons, however, the musical knowledge he got from his mother helped him share in his first wife Hadley's interest in the piano.
Ernest Hemingway died in______.
A.1969
B.1979
C.1981
D.1961
