The Federal Aviation Administration says more than nine hundred thirty thousand flights traveled through O'Hare last year. During that time, more than sixty-nine million passengers passed through O'Hare.
Most of these people were waiting for connecting flights. As they waited, they could shop at many airport stores. They could eat at airport cafes. They could exercise at a health club or do office work in a business-support center. They could take their children to a flight museum or visit the airport's religious center.
The huge O'Hare Airport of today is very different from its beginning. It started as a military air base and factory in the nineteen forties. The center produced planes for World War Ⅱ. Later, the airport was named for Navy pilot Edward O'Hare. He was killed in an action during the war after being honored with medals for bravery.
Big as O'Hare airport is today, however, it is not big enough. Too many airplanes crowd the runways where they take off and land. Delays and cancellations interfere with air traffic across the country. Officials say sixty-five percent of the flights at O'Hare were delayed during the first seven months of this year. This was the worst record among the nation's major airports.
To improve the situation, the governor of Illinois signed the O'Hare Modernization Act last year. The Act calls for building another runway. Existing runways would be moved and extended. More buildings are planned. The project will cost more than six-and-one-half-thousand-million dollars. When all that is completed in the next eight years, busy O'Hare Airport can get even busier.
Last year, how many flights traveled through O' Hare according to the Federal Aviation Administration？
A．930,000.
B．970,000.
C．913,000.
D．914,000.
听力原文：W: How do you go to school every day？
M: By hike.
W: So you are lucky. You are not bothered by rude people with their rough behavior.
M: I don't get it.
W: I come to school by bus and sometimes it turns out to be a terrible experience. I mean a bus ride. If the worst comes to the worst, you may ride yourself on an overcrowded bus with no order, and in a near riot. I'm not exaggerating.
M: I see what you mean. I'm sorry for you.
W: During the rush hour you have to fight your way in and fight your way out when you get off.
M: How terrible!
W: What's more terrible, you often find yourself among people with no manners. This morning I saw something you wouldn't believe unless you saw it with your own eyes.
M: Yes？
W: At the bus terminal there was a big crowd. Because the bus was a little late, the crowd grew bigger and bigger. When the bus finally arrived, the waiting crowd turned into a charging mob, rushing the door.
M: What craziness!
W: Then some young guys pushed hard and elbowed their way to the front. A woman carrying a baby lost her balance and fell down.
M: It's shocking to see young people behave so badly. This is one of the reasons I don't take buses as a rule.
W: There are other forms of rudeness that people exhibit in public places, such as spitting and littering.
M: I know. The problem is that they don't seem to care about the public code of conduct.
W: Young people have to be told that they should show respect for others before they are respected by others. I really think it's time we did something to do away with all rude manners.
M: I agree. I'm all for developing socialist ethics and the socialist moral standards ought to be passed down from generation to generation.

Auctions（拍卖) are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer.
Auctions(拍卖) are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asked the crowd to gather in the auction room to bid for various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer bangs a small hammer on a raised platform.
The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction and the English word comes from the Latin "autic", meaning "increase". The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils taken in war; these sales were called "sub hasta", meaning "under the spear", a spear being stuck in the ground as a signal for a crowd to gather. In England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries goods were often sold "by the candle"; a short candle was lit by the auctioneer and bids could be made while it was burning. Practically all goods can be sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, cocoa, furs, fruit, vegetables and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, antique furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and works of art. The auction rooms at Chritie's and Sotheby's in London and New York are world famous.
An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by the buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a "lot", is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with lot one and continue the numerical order; he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in. The auctioneer's services are paid for in the form. of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding.
Auctioned goods are sold（）.
A.for the highest price offered
B.at fixed prices
C.at prices lower than their true value
D.at prices offered by the auctioneer
Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, furs, spices, fruit, vegetables and wines. Auction sales are also useful for land, property, antique furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and works of art.
An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by prospective buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogs are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a "lot"; is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in numerical order; he may wait until he registers the fact that certain dealers are in the room and then produces the lots they are likely to be interested in. The auctioneer's services are paid for in the form. of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up bidding as high as possible.
The auctioneer must know fairly accurately the current market values of the goods he is selling, and he should be acquainted with regular buyers of such goods. He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also play on the rivals among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid against each other. It is largely in his advice that a seller will fix a "reserved" price, that is, a price below which the goods cannot be sold. Even the best auctioneers, however, find it difficult to stop a "knock-out", whereby dealers illegally arranged beforehand not to bid against each other, but nominate one of themselves as the only bidder, in the hope of buying goods at extremely low prices. If such a " knock-out " comes off, the real auction sale takes place privately afterwards among the dealers.
At what prices are auctioned goods usually sold？
A．The highest prices offered by the buyers.
B．The fixed prices advertised beforehand.
C．The prices higher than their true value.
D．The prices demanded by the seller.
