Her love and devotion for my brother and me made our lack of material possessions seem insignificant. Even today, if I were given a choice between having love at home and wealth, I would want it just the way I had it. I grew up poor in material things but rich in love.
Since my father was never around long enough to teach me physical things or to play games with me, I didn't succeed in any competitive sport. My mother did her best as a substitute, throwing a ball with me in the lot(空地) behind our house, but it wasn't the same. She was too protective of me, and I didn't have enough confidence in my own abilities to really try anything physically demanding.
The story suggests that the author is______his mother.
A．proud of
B．worried about
C．pitiful for
D．concerned about
听力原文：JANICE: Hello... Flagstone.
JON: Oh hello; is that Flagstone Properties？
JANICE: Yes that's right. Flagstone here. How can I help you？ 【Example】
JON: Hello. I'm ringing just to make enquiries about renting a house. My name's Jon Anderson.
JANICE: Yes, Mr Anderson. What sort of thing were you looking for？
JON: Two-bedroomed house with garden.
JANICE: Well... yes, sir, that shouldn't be any problem... just to let you know that our
main areas, the main areas we deal with, are the city centre itself... 【Q1】
JOS: City centre.., uh-huh.
JANICE: And the north suburbs.
JON: Oh well.., we were most interested in the Northern areas actually.
JANICE: Right... yes... What sort of price were you thinking of？
JON: Well... could you give me some idea？
JANICE: Certainly. It really ranges from ￡250 per month. 【Q2】
JON: Only ￡250？
JANICE: Yes, to about ￡500 depending on a number of different factors.
JON: What does it depend on？
JANICE: Well, obviously the quality of the area. And then whether there's a garden. 【Q3】
JON: Well, as I said, we'd want a garden.
JANICE: And a garage pushes up the price.
JON: Right... well, we wouldn't necessarily need one. I think about ￡350 a month would be our limit.
JANICE: OK. Well... would you like to have a look at a couple of properties, sir？
JON: Yes, that'd be great.
JANICE: Looking at our files... I think we've got two which might suit you...
JON: Hang on. I'll just get a pen. Right.
JANICE: OK. Well, there's one on West Park Road which is ￡325 a month. 【Q4】
JON: Are the bills included？
JANICE: Well, that one just includes the water bill. 【Q5】
JON: OK, right.
JANICE: And the second house is in Tithe Road. I'll just spell that for you... OK？
JON: Yep.
JANICE: T-I-T-H-E Road.
JON: Got that. And how much is that one？
JANICE: That's ￡380.
JON: 380. IS that including water？
JANICE: NO, I'm afraid not, but it does include the telephone rental. 【Q6】
JON: Oh well, that's not too bad then. So ....
JANICE: So, when would you be available to see them？
JON: Well, I'll be in town next week.., say... Thursday？
JANICE: NO, I'm sorry we don't have any availability for Thursday. How about
Wednesday afternoon？ 【Q7】
JON: OK. That's fine. Would 5.00 be OK？
JANICE: Yes, fine. 5.00 it is. Just come to the Flagstone Offices.
JON: Oh, before I forget. What sort of things do I need to get done.., to rent with you？
JANICE: Well, the most important thing is a letter from your bank...
JON: No problem...
JANICE: And then a reference letter from your employer. 【Q8】
JON: Yes, that's OK.
JANICE: Great, and then we would need you to give 2 weeks' notice of moving in... 【Q9】
JON: Right... 2 weeks' notice. And what about a deposit？ 【Q10】
JANICE: That's one month's rent, whatever the amount is.
JON: OK. One month. Is that it？
JANICE: No, sorry, one more.., you will have to pay for the contract.
JON: Oh yes. I'd forgotten about that. OK, fine. So I'll start arranging those, and I'll...
JANICE: ... I'll see you next week.
JON: Yes. Thanks very much. Bye.
JANICE: Goodbye.

Both Matti Dog and Yellow Dog were strays of unknown history.They both showed signs, curling up at sharp voices and fast movement, of having been beaten in their past homes.We got Matti Dog at the pound (走失家畜认领栏), where she was known as Lady.Yellow Dog appeared while my wife and son were traveling in Utah.
In spite of their backgrounds they are simply wonderful dogs.Both stay at home, without requiring a chain, or fence.We don’t need a leash(皮带)on our walks, they stay close to me, and come immediately when I whistle.If I ask them to sit, they do and they stay until released.Yellow Dog does tend to find and carry dead animals on our walk — but hey he is a dog…
Training Matti Dog and Yellow Dog to behave this well took love and 3-4 weeks of daily half-hour exercises of basic obedience(服从).Not much effort but apparently more than many are willing to give.
On this 3-mile walk, we pass about 8 other houses and 15 other dogs.Folks in my neighborhood like dogs! But what is troubling is that 6 of these dogs appear to be chained all the time.I don’t monitor this, but I have walked by at various times of the day and they were always chained.
These poor dogs are castoffs(被抛弃的狗), perhaps a Christmas present now ignored, or maybe they just behave so “badly” that their humans gave up.What does it say about owners that they can’t spend 2-4 weeks half an hour daily to teach their dog how to behave in a way that permits the dog freedom and that helps that dog be a better companion？
I do know some of these folks.They seem decent enough, but here for all passers to see is the failure of their relationship with man’s best friend.
Your dog is a great billboard.The advertisement is about you.

A.Never mind
B.I don’ t remember, either
C.You were saying that you used to be a teacher
When we got there, the party was already in full swing. They had a bar in a separate room in the house and roommate and I walked right over to it as soon as we saw it. And man, did they have cheap drinks So we were like "yeah let's have a few." Of course at that point we weren't thinking about how we were going to get back to our dorm.
After two whiskey sours and two screw drivers, I was gone. I didn't realize that I was drunk until I hit my head on (the hard part of the couch) and felt absolutely no pain. One of my friends was trying to take my money away so I couldn't buy any more to drink. Not that it would have mattered anyway, as I was sneaking sips from other people' s drinks by then.
An hour later, I was completely drunk, and we made a group decision to leave the party. One problem, though, no one knew how to get home, so I drunkenly said" I know how to get home. Thanks for the great party!"
Of course, no one offered to walk us back. I guess they though that 8 girls, including 2 who were completely trashed, would be fine walking alone back to campus. And I guess they believed my drunken rambling, who knows.
Luckily, I have a pretty good sense of direction and we walked the 4 to 6 blocks back to campus. My roommate and I couldn't walk that well so the walk seemed to take forever. Once we got back to campus, however, we met up with this guy who was going to take us to another frat party just off campus (across the street from campus, actually). I was all pumped to go but--first things first---all of us had to pee.
So we stopped in a nearby dorm. One of my friends went in first and ended up overflowing the toilet (the funny thing is that she was stone sober). My drunk roommate and I then decided that we had to really pee and that we would just go back to our dorm.
So the two of us wandered back to our dorm, making a short stop at the emergency
phone to call a friend and tell hex that we were drunk. After that, we managed to get back to our dorm, without any problems.

M: Sorry, but I can't believe that you're actually complaining about free publicity. I mean I remember, Shelley, before you were famous, you were begging us to write features about you...anything...
W: If you would just let me finish of course the press have been important. I'm an actress and I understand the power of the press. But the thing is, I rarely seem to read anything true about myself these days... The point I'm trying to make here is that famous people have families with feelings.
M: Oh, sorry. You're really hurt by that particular article last week.
W: To increase circulation and make more money, certain newspapers continue to print those stories when it's obvious that they're not true.
M: But I think we have to consider the relationship between fame, the public and the press. The public are fascinated by fame and scandal, and they love to read about their favorite stars.
W: I'm sick of gutter-press making up stories. It's irresponsible and it messes up people's life.
M: The problem is, it's not always clear what's true and what isn't. I mean, if a newspaper prints something scandalous or embarrassing about a famous person, they're bound to deny it, but that doesn't mean it's not true.
W: Are you trying to say...
M: No smoke without fire, if you ask me.
(20)
A．A little known actress and a literary critic.
B．A well-known actress and a newspaper editor.
C．A movie star and one of her fans.
D．A movie star and a TV interviewer.
W: Well, can we summarize the problem from our point of view？ First of all, the campaign was late. It missed two important trade fairs. The ads also did not appear into key magazines. As a result, the campaign failed. Do you accept that summary of what happened？
M: Well, the delay wasn't entirely our fault. You did in fact make late changes to the specifications of the advertisements.
W: Hmm, actually, you were late with the initial proposals, so you had very little time. And in fact, we only asked for small changes.
M: Well, whatever. Can we repeat our offer to run the campaign for four extra weeks？
W: That's not really the point. The campaign missed two key trade fairs. Because of this, we're asking you either to repeat the campaign next year for free, or we only pay 50% of the fee for this year.
M; Could we suggest a 20% reduction to the fee together with the four-week sustention to the campaign？
W: We are not happy. We lost business.
M: I think we both made mistakes. The responsibility is on both sides.
W: Ok, let's suggest a new solution. How about a 40% cut in fee, or a free repeat campaign？
M: Well, let's take a break. We're not getting very far. Perhaps we should think about this.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
22. What do we learn about the man's company？
23. Why was the campaign delayed according to the man？
24. What did the woman propose as a solution to the problem？
25. What does the man suggest they do at the end of the conversation？
(25)
A．It publishes magazines.
B．It is engaged in product design.
C．It sponsors trade fairs.
D．It runs sales promotion campaigns.
A scientist who wants to predict the way in which consumers(消费者) will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on the resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending.
If an economist were asked which of three groups borrow most—people with rising incomes, stable incomes, or 'decreasing incomes—he would probably answer, those with decreasing incomes. Actually, in the years 1947~1950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with decreasing incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions(假设) about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The expectations of price increases may not stimulate buying. One typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a time of rising prices. "In a few months", she said, "we'll have to pay more for meat and milk; we'll have less to spend on other things". Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may be disliked and buyers' resistance may be produced. This is shown by the following typical comment; "I just don't pay these prices; they are too high".
The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America; condition most helpful to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business policy of maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology(心理学).
According to the passage, if one wants to predict the way people spend their money, he should______.
A．rely on traditional assumptions about earning and spending
B．try to encourage or discourage consumers to spend money
C．carry out investigations on consumer behavior. and get data of consumers incomes and money spending motives
D．do researches in consumer psychology in a laboratory
Why do we go wrong about our friends--or our enemies？ Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning.And if we don't really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words.Suppose someone tells you, "you're a lucky dog".Is he really on your side？ If he says, "You're a lucky guy" or "You're a lucky gal", that's being friendly.But "lucky dog"？ There's a bit of envy in those words.Maybe he doesn't see it himself.But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little.What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words？ One way is to take a good look at the person talking.Do his words fit the way he looks？ Does what he says square with the tone of voice？ His posture (体态)？ The look in his eyes？ Stop and think.The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
