听力原文: Tom Smith was a writer. He wrote detective stories for magazines. One evening he couldn't find an end for a story. He sat with his typewriter in front of him, but he had no ideas. So he decided to go to the cinema.
When he came back, he found that he had had a visitor. Someone had broken into his room. The man had had a drink, smoked several of Tom's cigarettes and had read his story. The visitor left a note,
I have read your story and I don't think much of it. Please read my suggestions and then you can finish it. By the way, I am not a thief. I am not going to steal anything tonight, but if you become a successful writer, I will return!
Tom read the thief's suggestions. Then he sat down and wrote the rest of the story. He is still not a successful writer, and he is waiting for his thief to return. Before he goes out in the evening, near his typewriter he always leaves a story, which has not been finished.

听力原文: I grew up in a small town. My father raised chickens and ran a construction company. When I was 10 years old, my dad gave me the responsibility of feeding chickens and cleaning up the stable. He believed it was important to me to learn responsibility and moods from those jobs.
When I was 22, I found a job in New York at a country music club. I washed dishes and cooked from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and then went on stage and sang until2:00 in the morning. I soon became known as a singing cook. I had been refused so many times by record companies that it was easy to be discouraged.
One night, a woman executive from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked. Several weeks later, my manager received a phone call--Warner Brothers wanted to sign me to a record deal. I released my first record in July, 1987. It was sold over 2 million copies.
My best efforts had gone into every job I ever held. It was the sense of responsibility that made me feel like a man. Knowing that I had done my best filled me with pride. I still feet that way today, even though I have become a well-known singer.

听力原文: My friend Leo makes up weak and poor excuses whenever there's something he doesn't want to do. Just two weeks ago, he was at my house when he decided he didn't want to go into work. He called his boss and said he had to get a new set of tires put on his truck. Then he sat down and watched TV with me. Not only had he lied, but his excuse wasn't a very convincing one. Another time he canceled a date with his girlfriend at the last minute, telling her he had to get a new battery for his truck.
She was angry and refused to go out with him again until he apologized. Last weekend, Leo offered the poorest excuse yet. He'd promised he'd help me move some furniture from my parents' house to my new apartment. He was supposed to bring his truck over about 8 o'clock Saturday morning. I waited and then called and left a message on his machine. About 11:30, he called and said he was sorry but he'd been getting a new set of tires put on his truck. I guess he'd forgotten he used the same excuse when he called his boss from my house. I think I need a new set of friends. I'm beginning to get tired of Leo's excuses.
Questions:
What does the speaker tell us about her friend Leo?
What did his girlfriend do when Leo canceled the date with her at the last minute?
What favor did the speaker ask Leo to do last weekend?
(30)
A.He will betray even his best friends.
B.He is able to make up good excuses.
C.He will lie whenever he wants.
D.He tries to achieve his goal at any cost.

听力原文:M: I want to do something tonight for a change; let's go to the movies.
W: In this heat? Are you joking?
M: We can go to an outdoor movie. Do you think I'd suggest an indoor one in the middle of the summer in San Diego?
W: I'd rather go out for a meal. The outdoor movies are so uncomfortable.
M: Why don't we do both at the same time? We could pick up some take-away food and eat it in the movie.
W: That sounds like fun. But they never show any good films in the summer. At least not any of the new ones. All you get is the old classics. It's just what we've seen half a dozen times.
M: But that's why they're classics. They're worth seeing again and again.
W: Another objection to outdoor movies is that you can never hear properly. You hear all the traffic from outside.
M: Well, we can find a foreign film with printed translation at the bottom of the screen, then you don't need to hear the sound. I think it would be fun to sit watching an old film and eating a meal at the same time.
W: Last time I went to an outdoor movie, I bought a bar of chocolate to eat as I went in. It was a horror film and I was so shocked I just sat there holding my bar of chocolate until the interval when I found it had melted in my hand and run all down my dress. That was an expensive evening out.
M: Well, we don't go and see a horror film, darling t and take-away meals don't melt.

听力原文: I went to Fariburn in 1948, it took me twenty hours by bus. I sat by a fellow about my own age, 24. He told me his name was Karl Packer, but he told me hardly anything else.
He disappointed me because he had so little to say. No opinions, no memories, no tales to tell. Had his home, education, the war and so on left no mark on him at all? It was very puzzling.
The next time I went to Fariburn was in 1974. By plane of course. The President was going to "open" the new town, which had taken 26 years to build. I sat next to a man of about fifty, whose face was a book.
The face was brown and lined. There were lines of worry and of fear perhaps. But over them I saw success and power. I guessed he was the boss of something. Perhaps he hadn't expected the big job or hadn't wanted it. He had done it well, no doubt. The thing had clearly taught him the power of decision, command. We started to talk...
The next two hours were for me the most interesting, even exciting. He kept me silent, open- mouthed with wonder.
Our plane landed at Fariburn, I shook his hand and thanked him for making the journey so pleasant. I mentioned my name.
"The pleasure was mine," he said "! was chief engineer here at Fairburn until last year. I built the new town. Karl Packer is the name. Haven't we met before somewhere?"
