听力原文：W: Hi. Tom. How things get along with the preparation for the annual meeting documents？
M: It's coming along. But I've been staring at the computer screen for hours and my eyes hurt.
W: Yeah Typing the words on the screen really make your eyes dry and tired. You should take a break.
M: I can't. The deadline is approaching.
W: You know, I read about computers and eye problems recently. The article says that they are usually caused by not blinking your eyes enough.

M: That is what I am doing. And I am suffering from the dry eyes.

W: The article I read about the office workers found that the workers averagely blink 22 times a minute when relaxed But just 7 times a minute while looking at the text on a computer screen.
M: Wow That's quite a difference.
W: Yeah. So you need to blink your eyes and take a break from the computer

听力原文：W: I' m going over to the recycling center this afternoon. Would you like me to take your old newspaper and paper bags a long？
M: I do have a lot of papers and magazines down on the basement. Volunteers used to come by these apartments regularly to collect waste paper. I still save it but people seldom ask for it nowadays and I' ve never gone over to the recycling center myself.
W: That’s typical. A few years ago people were really enthusiastic about musing waste paper. Unfortunately, interest has been decreasing lately. Manufacturers now use waste paper for things, like paper bags, towels, napkins and boxes. But the demand is down. I think they need to find new commercial uses for recycled paper.
M: I suppose things like greeting cards, calendars and writing paper could be made from it too. But recycled paper usually has a dingy color, doesn't it？
W: Well, it wouldn’t be suitable for art books or high-quality magazine paper. But who cares about the drab color if waste paper can take place of virgin wood pulp and so help to preserve forests. M: You are right. I'll bring my waste paper over to your apartment in a little while. Thanks for offering to take it.

听力原文：W: Alexander, you speak quite good English. How did you learn a foreign language so well？ You know English is really a headache for me. I just don't know how to learn it well.
M: Well, when learning a foreign language, I would surround myself in the language, the target language, that I wanted to learn.
W: Surround oneself in the language？ I think it is difficult to do that. Can you explain how you do it？
M: Uh, for example, I would watch a movie in that language, uh, which would help me keep motivated to learn vocabulary and phrases.
W: That sounds interesting.
M: Yeah, you'll have a lot of fun by doing so.
W: I see. A little hit of practice every day is very important to language learning.
M: Yes. Regular practice is also better than practicing a lot in one day. Learning a language well needs patience and perseverance.
W: Then what else did you do to learn a foreign language？
M: Well, I would keep a situational notebook.
W: What is that used for？
M: Ur, for example, in a restaurant, you use a certain phrase over and over again, and so if you can remember just one particular phrase in each setting, then you can immediately speak that language and have more confidence and you get more out of learning the language, I think.
W: Really？ I'll try that. Thank you for your advice.
M: You're welcome.

听力原文： Frozen forever in time are memories of wire rimmed glasses and a grey sweater that almost always had chocolate covered raisins in the left pocket. Grandpapa always read to me. I’d sit beside him and listen.
When Grandpapa got old & couldn’t see well enough to read anymore, I read to him. I’d read until his eyes closed and he started to fall asleep.
As I quietly got up, Grandpapa would reach into the pocket of his grey sweater and pull out a box of chocolate covered raisins, pressing them into my teen-aged hand. Eyes still closed, he would whisper "I remembered".
Grandpapa always said things like; "You scratch my back an’ I’ll scratch yours," and "Share, little one. Sharing makes everything better. ’ Somehow, everything always was better.
I’ll never forget the call from the hospital. Grandpapa had suffered a heart attack. My Mother was so upset, crying so many tears. It was snowing that night. Great big fluffy snowflakes falling through the glow of the streetlight.
It’s snowing this morning, big fluffy snowflakes fall through the glow of the streetlight. I sit and watch the snowflakes fall, thinking about Grandpapa with love in my heart and a cup of coffee in my hands. I will always remember his wise words, "Sharing makes every thing better. ’ The need to reach out to another human being is instinctive, and as necessary as the air that we breathe.
It is my sincere hope that you will want to share something of yourself. A kind word to a stranger perhaps, or a compliment to someone that deserves one. It is these small act a of sharing, and caring, that make this world a better place.
(33)
A．chocolate covered raisins.
B．chocolate covered peanuts.
C．a banana.
D．an apple.
