听力原文: A man had to go to court, and he asked his lawyer which judge would be hearing his case. His lawyer told him and then said "Do you know him?"
The man answered, "No, but I wanted to know his name so that I could send him a dozen bottles of good wine."
The lawyer was terribly shocked. "You can't do that. You would be breaking the law very seriously, and you would be sure to lose the case."
Some weeks later the case was heard, and the man won it. As he was leaving the court, he said to the lawyer, "My gift to the judge was quite successful, wasn't it?"
The lawyer was even more shocked than before, and said, "What? Did you really send him that wine after what I told you?"
"Yes, certainly," answered the man. "But I put my opponent's name on the card which I sent with the wine."

Our skins let us know whether the air is moist or dry, whether surfaces are wet without being sticky or slippery. From the uniformity of slight pressure, we can be aware how deeply a finger is thrust into water at body temperature, even if the finger is enclosed in a rubber glove that keeps the skin completely dry. Many other animals, with highly sensitive skins, appear to be able to learn still more about their environment. Often they do so without employing any of the five senses.
By observing the capabilities of other members of the animal kingdom, we come to realise that a human being has far more possibilities than are utilised. We neglect ever so many of our senses in concentrating on the five major ones. At the same time, a comparison between animals and man draws attention to the limitations of each sense. The part of the spectrum (光谱) seen by colour-conscious man as red is non-existent for honey-bees. But a bee can see far more in flowers than we, because the ultra-violet (紫外线) to which our eyes are blind is a stimulating (刺激的) part of the insect’s spectrum, and, for honey-bees at least, constitutes a separate colour.

W: Oh, hello, Mr. Burns. This is Susan Thompson speaking. I'm glad you ring back so soon. There's a serious problem, I'm afraid. You know that order for 500 cases of Top Whiskey we put recently?
M: Oh, yes. I saw to it myself. What's the problem? Hasn't it arrived?
W: Well, in a way, but it's stuck at the customs. There's something wrong with the declaration, it seems. Some kind of omission or error.
M: Oh, really? That's strange. Do you know what it is?
W: Well, I only heard that some of the details were incomplete and the customs can't let the consignment through.
M: Ms. Thompson, I'll tell you what I'll do. Our forwarding agents are handling this delivery and they're generally very reliable. Er, let me just get on to them.
W: Yes, if you would. And can you let me know as soon as possible when I can have the Whiskey? Time's rather short and our customers are waiting for the wine, you know.
M: Of course. I'll see to it, Ms. Thompson, and if at all possible, you'll get a call today.
W: Well, getting the delivery today would suit me better. Oh, one other thing, I'm out of the office after 12 o'clock. If you call me after this time, would you leave a message with our switchboard operator? I'll tell her to expect your call.
M: Yes, I spoke to her before. I'll get things moving as quickly as I can.
W: Right. Thanks. Goodbye then, Mr. Burns.

Wrongly Convicted Man and His Accuser Tell Their Story
NEW YORK, NY, January 5,2010. St, Martin"s Press has announced the release of the paperback edition of Picking Cotton, a remarkable true story of what novelist John Grisham calls an "account of violence, rage, redemption (救赎), and, ultimately forgiveness".
The story began in 1987, in Burlington, North Carolina, with the rape of a young white college student named Jennifer Thompson. During her ordeal, Thompson swore to herself that she would never forget the face of her rapist, a man who climbed through the window of her apartment and assaulted her brutally.46________ When the police asked her if she could identify the assailant (袭击者) from a book of mug shots, she picked one that she was sure was correct, and later she identified the same man in a lineup.
Based on her convincing eye witness testimony, a 22-year-old black man named Ronald Cotton was sentenced to prison for two life terms. Cotton"s lawyer appealed the decision, and by the time of the appeals hearing, evidence had come to light suggesting that the real rapist might have been a man who looked very like Cotton, an imprisoned criminal named Bobby Poole. 47________ Jennifer Thompson looked at both men face to face, and once again said that Ronald Cotton was the one who raped her.
Eleven years later, DNA evidence completely exonerated (证明……清白 ) Cotton and just as unequivocally (明确地) convicted Poole, who confessed to the crime.48________ "The man I was so sure I had never seen in my life was the man who was inches from my throat, who raped me, who hurt me, who took my spirit away, who robbed me of my soul," she wrote. "And the man I had identified so surely on so many occasions was absolutely innocent."
49________ Remarkably both were able to put this tragedy behind them, overcome the racial barrier that divided them, and write a book, which they have subtitled "Our memoir of injustice and redemption".
Nevertheless, Thompson says, she still lives "with constant pain that my profound mistake cost him so dearly.50________"
