听力原文：W: I enjoy going through secondhand bookstores, don't you？ It's interesting to see what people used to enjoy reading. Did you see this old book of children's stories？
M: Some of these books aren't so old, though. See？ This novel was published only six years ago. It cost seventy-five cents.
W: Hey! Look at this!
M: What？ Are you getting interested in nineteenth-century plays all of a sudden？
W: No. Look at the signature. Someone gave this book as a present, and wrote a note on the inside of the front cover. It's dated 1856. Maybe it's worth something.
M: Everything on that shelf is worth fifty cents.
W: But if this is the signature of someone who is well-known, it might bring a lot more. I hear William Shakespeare's signature is worth about a million dollars.
M: Oh？ I can hardly read what the one says. Who wrote it？
W: The name looks like "Harold Dickinson". Wasn't he a politician or something？ I'm going to buy this book and see if I can find a name like that in the library.
M: Good luck. Your book of plays may make you rich, but I'll bet my seventy-five cents novel is a better buy.
Where is this conversation taking place？
A．In a classroom.
B．In a library.
C．At a secondhand bookstore.
D．In a museum.

听力原文： As you probably know, log structures are gaining popularity. They are no longer just the simple country homes that we think of as the traditional log cabin. Some upscale homes now incorporate natural round logs in sealing beams and walls. People seem to think that the rounded logs give their homes a cozy warm atmosphere. And even people who want to build a traditional log cabin on their own can buy a kit with precut logs that fit together like pieces of lig-saw puzzle. Before showing you some slides of modem log houses, I'd like to give you a little historical background on the subject.
Log cabins were first built in the late 1600s along the Delaware river valley. The European immigrants who settled there brought centuries' old traditions of working with logs. And in this heavily wooded area logs were the material in hand. Log cabins were the most popular in the early 1800s with the settlers who were moving west. They provided the answer to the pioneer's need for a sale and sliding boards for windows. But the log buildings that have probably had most influence on modern architects are those of the mountain retreats of wealthy New Yorkers. These country houses which were popular in the early 1900s typify what's known as the Adoroundyx style. Now let's look at those slides.
What is the speaker mainly discussing？
A．Traditional European architecture.
B．Techniques for building log cabins.
C．The history of log structures.
D．How to build a home by yourself.

If you're like me, you're 【C1】______ of big income claims--like the one I just made. I don't blame you. After all, it usually means you're about to be conned into some theoretical business 【C2】______ that "could" work... if you're extremely lucky!
Well now you can say goodbye to those schemes, plug into a thriving ＄ 95 billion industry, and collect six figures from home with no risk, overhead, or employees. I'll even partner with you, 【C3】______ my own money on your success, and 【C4】______ the profits with you 50/50!
And because I respect you, I 【C5】______ for one red cent until you know exactly what this business involves... just give me a couple of minutes to prove everything I've promised so far. Fair enough？
Being a home-based recruiter is simple: you find and introduce qualified job candidates to companies... and collect enormous finder's fees when your candidates are hired. For just one placement, a typical finder's fee is ＄8,000--＄12,000!
Why so much？ By outsourcing this function, companies can 【C6】______ positions more quickly, eliminate salaried HR employees, and slash their 【C7】______ costs (even more necessary in today's economy).
Now let's look at this risk-free business. Your clients may call you a "headhunter", "search firm", or "job 【C8】______ agency". But they all mean the same thing: you're a recruiter. And here's the exciting part:
With just a computer and fax machine, home-based recruiters (like me) scooped up over ＄1 billion last year, working from the comfort of our homes, in our tee shirts!
Since this is a "business 【C9】______ business" profession, you’ll be in daily contact with other professionals. And since most of the simple tasks 【C10】______ in your spare time, you're free to keep your day job while you get started.
【C1】______

One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one's mistakes. (79) It is extremely hard some times to say a simple thing like "I was wrong about that," and it is even harder to say, "I was wrong, and you were right about that."
I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons. Then he related an incident and I began to remember vaguely the incident he was de scribing.
I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular clay, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident tool place.
(80) There must have been a special sale on eggs that day be cause there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were stacked three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together; so I went to work.
The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was culprit(罪犯). He severely scolded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did not.
How old was the author when he wrote this article？
A．About 8.
B．About 18.
C．About 23.
D．About 15.

Anna Douglas was 72 years old when she started writing her newspaper column. She had been the director of a school and a camp before she retired, but she needed to keep busy. She was even willing to work without pay. That was the reason she found a volunteer job with an agency. The agency that she chose to work for was a business that helped other businesses find jobs for old people. Every day she talked with other retired people like herself. By talking, she recognized two things. Old people had abilities that were not being used. Old people also had problems——mostly problems with communication.
Mrs. Douglas found a new purpose for herself. Through the years, from time to time she had written stories about people for national magazines. Now there was a new subject: old people like herself. She began to write a newspaper column called "Sixty Plus," which focused on getting old. She writes about the problems of old people, especially their problems with being misunderstood.
Anna Douglas uses her thinking ability to see the truth behind a problem. She understands the reasons why problems begin. She understands old people and young people, too. For example, one of her readers said that his grandchildren left the house as soon as he came to visit. Mrs. Douglas suggested some ways for him to increase understanding with his grand-children. She told him to listen to young people's music and to watch the most popular television shows.
"It's important to know something about your grandchildren's world," says Mrs. Douglas. "That means questioning and listening——and listening is not what oldsters do best," she continues, "Say good things to them and about them. Never criticize your grandchildren or any other youngsters, teenagers, or young adults. Never tell them that they are wrong. Don't give them your opinion. They have been taught that they should have respect for old people. The old should have respect for the young as well."
Anna Douglas understands the problems of old people ________.
A．because she likes their music
B．because she has grandchildren
C．because she watches their television programs
D．because she is old herself
