听力原文:W: I'm sorry, but I can't let you check out these books.
M: What do you mean?
W: Well, the computer shows you've got an overdue book, Art Work. And you can't borrow any book until you return it.
M: But that's impossible. I only started going to this school last month. And I'm a business major, not an artist.
W: Hmm. The thing's pretty strange. Let me look up the records. OK, you are Robert Smith?
M: Yeah.
W: You live at 1423 West Conner Street?
M: Ah? No, I'm living on campus now.
W: You did say you were Robert Smith, right?
M: Yeah. Well, my full name is Robert James Smith.
W: Let me check one more thing on the computer. I see now, there's another Robert Smith, Robert El. Smith. And it looks like he's the one who got that overdue book checked out.
M: Another Robert Smith, no kidding?
W: So I guess you two never met.
M: No, I'm thinking I should probably try. I could at least find out what has just happened.
W: Good idea. Now I let you check out these books today. But I suggest you should start to use your middle name to avoid any problems like this in the future.

A.In a classroom.
B.In a library.

Middle age has its compensations. Youth is bound hand and foot with the shackles of public opinion. Middle age enjoys freedom.I remember that when i left the school i said to myself: __1__"Hence forward. I can get up when i like and go to bed when i like." That of course was an exaggeration, and i soon found that whenever you have an aim you must sacrifice something of freedom to achieve it. But by the time you have reached middle age you discovered how __2__much freedom it was worth to sacrifice in order to achieve any aim that __3__you have on view. When i was a boy i was tortured by shyness, __4__and middle age has to a great extent brought me a relief of this. I __5__have now no such feeling and i save myself much discomfort. I always hated cold water, but for many years i bath in cold seas because __6__i wanted to be like everybody. __7__It was until quite late in life that i discovered how easy it was __8__to say:"i don't know." i find with middle age no one expects me to walk twenty-five miles, or to play a scratch game of golf, or to dive from a height of thirty feet. This is all to the good and makes life pleasant, but i should no longer care if they do. That is what makes __9__youth unhappy, the vehement anxiety to be like other people, and that is what makes middle age intolerable, the reconciliation with __10__oneself.

Nurse! I Want My Mummy
When a child is ill in hospital, a parent's first reaction is to be【51】them.

We lived in the country by a nearby lake and I would sometimes go there.
My parents were never home anyway and I did not like to be at home.When they were home, my mother just yelled and criticized because nothing was ever perfect in her life. She dreamed of a different life but ended up living in a country far away from the city where she believed her dreams would have come true.
I enjoyed hanging out by the water. I would sit there and stare at my reflection. There I was, looked nothing like a pretty ballerina dancer.
As I grew older, I began to realize that the reason my dream was even born in the first place, was because it was something that was inside of me. The dream I had was never nurtured and cared for, so it slowly died. It's not that
I wanted it to die, but I allowed it to die the day I started listening to the words, You can’t do it.When I finally woke up from many years of dreaming,I realized that you can’t settle for dancing in the wildflowers, you have to move on to the platform. I still go to the lake sometimes and sit there. Looking at my reflection is different now too. When I was young, I looked at how others saw me. Now that I am older and wiser, I look at how God sees me.

听力原文:M: I'm so tired that I can't see straight.
W: You've been tired a lot lately, haven't you?
M: Well, for the last few weeks, I've had to stay up most the nights to observe star configurations for a project in my astronomy class. It's awful. No matter what time I go to bed, I always wake up at six a.m., and that's the time I usually get up.
W: Your biological rhythms probably haven't adjusted to your new schedule. I've read that some people have a lot of trouble when their sleep rhythms are interrupted. Even sleeping pills don't help them.

W: I'd like to find out how they treat problems like that. Maybe you should go to one of these centers.

The lottery money is supposed to go to charity—but it makes me angry to see some of the so-called "good causes" it's being used to support. Also, Camelot, the organizers, have made a profit of £10.8 million in five months. We hear now that a lot of that money is boosting the pay packets of the company's bosses.
For the past 10 years I've been helping to raise funds for a cancer research charity called Tenovus. My husband, Sandy, died from cancer 11 years ago—he was only 51. There's been a long line of deaths in our family through cancer and it's been devastating. I've also lost two sisters-in-law, my brother, Michael, my father-in -law and my father, That's apart from several close friends.
The charity is 50 years old now and raises money mainly for breast cancer research. It also runs a support line for the families of cancer sufferers. Our local group raises money through dances, sales and coffee mornings, and all the funds go directly to cancer research. In 1993 Tenovus raised £3 million—and half that money came from sales of our own lottery tickets at supermarkets. But our income has dropped by half since the National Lottery was introduced.
I'm not against people playing the National Lottery, but they should think about why they're doing. The chances of winning the jackpot are so small; they might as well throw their money away. The Government tells us that the proceeds are going to things like the arts and sport, but what about the National Health Service? They should give some cash to that, too, How can they justify spending ridiculous amounts of cash on so-called works of art—like displays of potatoes—or buying up Winston Churchill's papers at a cost of £12 million?
So who really are the winners in the National Lottery? When I think of all that money people could be donating to cancer research, I could weep. It's time people realized how charities across the country are suffering because of the National Lottery. It's disheartening and so infuriating.
The writer seems to hope that______.
A.people will spend more money on the National Lottery
B.people will give more money to charity
C.most of the lottery money will go to charity
D.most of the lottery money will be used for cancer research
