听力原文：W: David, sorry for my school board meeting last night so late. I've been working on a special project with the school board, and I like your opinion on it.
M: What is it？
W: I've been trying to find a way to encourage reading.
M: Tell me about it. I work with families everyday, Eva. I see how people spend their leisure time --young and old.
W: Mostly watching TV. Well, that would be OK, if people took the time to read.
M: I couldn't agree with you more.
W: The question is, how do we get them to read more？
M: I think you are going to give me the answer to that question. You have that look in your eye.
W: I do have the answer, or at least I think I do. The plan is a simple one. Involve the entire family in a reading project. But first in the schoolrooms. By arranging with the public schools to schedule one hour a week--to start with. During that time, parents are invited to attended to read along with the children.
M: It can go beyond the school system.
W: Really？
M: I guarantee you it would go very well in the hospitals. My patients--mostly kids--would love to read or to be read to.
W: I love the idea. In that way, we can spend more time together. You and I are very busy these days, we need to find more time to be together, to do things together. That would be wonderful.

The longest bull run in a century of art-market history ended on a dramatic note with a sale of 56 works by Damien Hirst, Beautiful Inside My Head Forever, at Sotheby's in London on September 15th, 2008．All but two pieces sold, fetching more than ￡ 70m, a record for a sale by a single artist. It was a last victory. As the auctioneer called out bids, in New York one of the oldest banks on Wall Street, Lehman Brother, filed for bankruptcy.
The world art market had already been losing momentum for a while after rising bewilderingly since 2003．At its peak in 2007 it was worth some $ 65 billion, reckons Clare McAndrew, founder of art Economics, a research firm-double the figure five year earlier. Since then it may have come down to $ 50 billion. But the market generates interest far beyond its size because it brings together great wealth, enormous egos, greed, passion and controversy in a way matched by few other industries.
In the weeks and months that followed Mr Hirst's sale, spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable. In the art world that meant collectors stayed away from galleries and salerooms. Sales of contemporary art fell by two-thirds, and in the most overheated sector, they were down by nearly 90% in the year to November 2008．Within weeks the world's two biggest auction houses, Sotheby's and Christie's, had to pay out nearly $ 200m in guarantees to clients who had placed works for sale with them.
The current downturn in the art market is the worst since the Japanese stopped buying Impressionist at the end of 1989．This time experts reckon that prices are about 40% down on their peak on average, though some have been far more fluctuant. But Edward Dolman, Christie's chief executive, says: "I'm pretty confident we're at the bottom. "
What makes this slump different from the last, he says, is that there are still buyers in the market. Almost everyone who was interviewed for this special report said that the biggest problem at the moment is not a lack of demand but a lack of good work to sell. The three Ds--death, debt and divorce-still deliver works of art to the market. But anyone who does not have to sell is keeping away, waiting for confidence to return.
In the first paragraph, Damien Hirst's sale was referred to as "a last victory" because______.
A．the art marker had witnessed a succession of victories
B．the auctioneer finally got the two pieces at the highest bids
C．Beautiful inside My Head Forever won over all masterpieces
D．it was successfully made just before the world financial crisis

When I was about 12 I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew: I was skinny, I wasn&39;t a good student, I was boyish, I talked too loud, and so on. I put up with her as long as I could. At last, with great anger, I ran to my father in tears. He listened to my outburst quietly. Then he asked, "Are the things she says true or not？" True？ I wanted to know how to strike back. What did truth have to do with it？
"Mary, didn&39;t you ever wonder what you are really like？ Well, you now have that girl&39;s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said. " I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true.
Some of them I couldn&39;t change (like being skinny), but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change. For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself. I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. "That&39;s just for you," he said.
"You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself, once you hear it. But you&39;ve got to learn to listen, not to close your ears in anger or hurt. When something said about you is true you&39;ll know it. You&39;ll find that it will echo inside you. " Daddy&39;s advice has returned to me at many important moments.
1、What did the girl&39;s enemy like to do？
A.Talking with her.
B.Pointing out her weak points.
C.Reporting to the teacher.

What did the girl do when she could no longer bear her enemy？A.She turned to her father.
B.She cried to her heart's content.
C.She tried to put up with her again.
D.She tried to be her friend.
Why did the girl's father ask her to make the list？A.He wanted to keep the list at home.
B.He didn't know what the girl's enemy had said.
C.He wanted the girl to talk back.
D.He wanted her to check if she really had these weak points.
