听力原文: A friend gave George a parrot which had a big vocabulary, but most of the words the bird knew were bad words. At first George thought it was funny, but when George had important guests, the bird's bad words embarrassed him very much.
As soon as the guests left, George angrily shouted to the parrot, "That language must stop!" But the bird answered him with curses. He shook the bird and shouted again, "Don't use those ugly words!" Again the bird cursed him.
George was really angry. He took the parrot and threw him into the freezer. This time there was silence. After two minutes, George opened the door and removed the very cold parrot. Slowly the frightened parrot walked up George's arm, sat on his shoulder and spoke into his ear, "I'm sorry for my behavior. and will never behave badly again."

听力原文: After years of study I have determined that there are only two types of people in this world: those who get to the airport early and those who walk in just as the plane is about to take off. (26) If there were any justice in the world the early airport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing and the late airport people would be punished. But there is no justice. I know I have been an early airport person for years. My luggage will get on the plane first but it will be the last luggage to come off the plane when we land. (27) You know who really gets his luggage first when we land? The late airport person who rushes into the airport three minutes before the plane takes off. "But if I get there real early," I told myself, "I will get the best seat." We'll, no matter how early I showed up, I was always told that someone had called two or three days ahead of me and asked for that seat. The utmost embarrassment of the early airport person happened to me a few years ago when I was flying from New York to Chicago. When I got to the ticket counter, the person there said "Sir, you have a seat on the 9:15 A.M. flight, is that right?" "Yes," I said. "Well, it's only 7:00 A.M. and the 7:05 A.M. flight has not left yet. (28) If you hurry you can make it." I was too embarrassed to say that I arrived early so I wouldn't have to hurry. Instead I ran down the corridor to the plane.

But actually this question is not as simple as it seems. There are thousands of different kinds of fishes, and they vary a great deal in size and life span. Moreover, it is not easy to find out just how long a fish lives in its natural state. We can find out how old a fish is by studying its scales, but we cannot say how much more time it would live if we had not caught it.
We may rear fishes and record their life span but we cannot be sure that this is the length of time they would have lived, had they been left alone.
We may make marking to show how fast the fishes grow so that we can calculate the age of the largest on record, but unless this large fish dies of old age we are still not in a position to know its natural life span.
Unlike human beings, fishes do not stop growing when they reach maturity. They continue to grow as long as they live, although the rate of growth slows down in mature fishes.
People often ask the specialist on fishes regarding its _______.
A.size
B.life span
C.age
D.variety
The specialist is embarrassed by the question because _______.A.he does not know the answer
B.there is no answer to the question
C.it is a silly and simple question for him
D.there is no definite answer to this question
We can know a fish’s age from its ______.A.weight
B.size
C.scales
D.length
Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Different kinds of fishes have different life spans.
B.It is hard for the specialist to know the length of time a fish lives in its natural state
C.Mature fishes grow more quickly than young ones.
D.The specialist makes marking to know the rate of growth of fishes so that they know the age of the largest ones.

听力原文:W: Hello, Kevin. I haven't seen you for many days. What's the problem with you?
M: Actually I'm a little embarrassed about coming here. I feel fine right now. (23)But you know, every year around the holidays I would come down with something.
W: (24)So you're interested in prevention. What symptoms do you usually get?
M: You know, cough, fever, runny nose, my head and bones ache etc. I usually feel weak and it ends up ruining my holidays.
W: Sounds like a typical flu to me. (25)Influenza often strikes when people are overtired, stressed and not eating nutritious food. And also you increase your exposure to a virus when you're in big crowds where lots of people are coughing and sneezing.
M: (25)I certainly spend a lot of time in department stores around the holidays buying gifts for my family.
W: (25)Yes. And so you increase your exposure to viruses in the air just when your body's resistance is already low.
M: So what can I do to prevent from the flu?
W: Actually it's fairly simple. Get a lot of rest and eat well. That way your body will become stronger. And you'll be more able to fight off illness.
M: All these things make sense. But one more question. Am I bound to get sick anyway if there's an outbreak in the dorm?
W: I'd also suggest you get immunized. It prevents the three main types of influenza.
M: I'll do it right away. It will be nice to feel well during the holidays for once. Thank you so much, doctor.
W: That's all right.
