A well-dressed man entered a famous jewelry shop. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl for his wife’ s birthday. The price didn’ t matter. Since business had been very good for him that year. After examining a nice black one that cost $5000, he paid for the pearl in cash, shook hands with the jeweler, and left.
A few days later the man returned and said that his wife liked the pear so much that she wanted another one just like it.

The rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newspapers, offering $ 25,000 for the matching pearl. Many people answered the advertisement but nobody had a pearl that was just right.
Just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady came into his store. To his great surprise, she pulled the perfect pearl from her purse. “I don’t like to part with it,” she said sadly, “I inherited it from my mother, and my mother inherited it from hers. But I really need the money.”

W: Why don't you try house-sitting? Last summer my friend Margaret house-sat for the Dodds when they went away on vacation. Mr. Dodd hired Margaret to stay in their house because he didn't want it left empty.
M: You mean the Dodds paid Margaret just to live in their house?
W: It wasn't that easy. She had to water the houseplants. And when Eric house-sat for Mr. Cohen, he had to take care of his pets.
M: House-sitting sounds like a good job. I guess it's a little like baby-sitting--except you're taking care of a house instead of children.
W: The student employment office still has a few jobs posted.
M: Do I just have to fill out an application?
W: Margaret and Eric had to interview with the homeowners and provide three references each.
M: That seems like a lot of trouble for a summer job.
W: The homeowners want some guarantee that they can trust the house-sitter. You know, they want to make sure you're not the type who will throw wild parties in their house, or move groups of friends in with you.
M: House-sitters who do that sort of things probably won't be paid.
W: Usually they are paid anyway just because the homeowners don't want to make a fuss. But if the homeowners report it, and then the house-sitter wouldn't be able to get another job. So why don't you apply?
(20)
A.Stay at home.
B.Hold parties.
C.Do part-time jobs.
D.Travel.

听力原文:George: Hi, Susan, I was wondering if you're free tonight.
Susan: Well, George, I need to see my professor at four, and then I'm going to the supermarket, but I guess yes, I am. Why do you ask?
George: I have just received two tickets for Harry Porter from a friend of mine and was thinking of inviting you to go with me. Are you interested?
Susan: Yeah, definitely ! Thanks for inviting me!
George: No problem.
Susan: I really wanted to watch Harry Porter on the opening day but the pre-sale tickets were sold out. How did you manage to get hold of them?
George: A friend of mine works at the cinema. He was able to get the tickets for free, and then he sold two to me for $ 30 each.
Susan: You paid $ 60 for the tickets that he got for free? That's really expensive!
George: Well, I guess it's worthwhile considering the fact that other people are paying as high as $ 60 each on the "black market". Besides, I knew you were really looking forward to watching Harry Porter on the opening day.
Susan: Wow, I'm really honored you went through all this trouble just for my sake. I really appreciate that. So, what time are we going?
George: Well, let's see. The movie starts at 10 pm. We should get there at least 1 hour earlier because there'll be a big line. I could pick you up at your house at 8, if that's OK with you.
Susan: Eight o'clock? That's fine with me.
George: Okay good. See you then.

A good soldier, for instance, mainly wishes to do his fighting well. He is glad of his pay--very properly so, and just complains when you keep him ten months without it; still, his main opinion of life is to win battles, not to be paid for winning them.
So of doctors. They like fees no doubt--ought to like them; yet if they are brave and well educated, the entire object of their lives is not fees. They would rather cure their patient and lose their fees than kill him and get it. And so with all other brave and rightly trained men; their work is first, their fees second, very important always, but still second.
The main idea of this passage is that ______.
A.money matters more than work
B.money is not necessary at all
C.money is as important as work
D.money comes second to work in importance
