Read the following passage and tell if the statements are true, false or not given. Holiday home When we went on holiday last year to a small town near London, my father knew all the landmarks. He knew that we had to turn right at the big church in the middle of town to find the road that finally led to our holiday house. He knew that there was a supermarket near our holiday house. He knew that to get to the swimming pool all we had to do was just go around the corner from our house and cycle two kilometers. He told us all this before we even got to the town. But the amazing thing was that he had never been to this town before. He knew more details than a map would show. He knew, for example, that the name of the supermarket was Cresco. He informed us that the house next to our holiday home had a red door, cats and at least one child. How did he know all this? He said that he had looked at Google Street View in order to find out what the town was like before deciding that this was a good place to spend the summer holidays. He even knew that there was a golf course and an indoor climbing center in or near the town. We knew that there were bikes at the holiday house so my father checked whether there were bike paths. He said that there were plenty of bike paths and we could reach almost every place without cycling on the roads although, he added, there was not that much traffic. Shtatement: The house had bicycles the family could use.

听力原文: Penury was what people called a mystery man. We had known him for over seven years, ever since he became a member of our modest club, but be had a way of keeping his private lift to himself in all but the unessential details. We knew his address, though he never invited us to his home, and his age, too, but only unimportant matters of this kind. It seemed that he did not have to work for a living as we did, in our various ways. He had once hinted about an inheritance on which he managed to live comfortably. He was not, however, a man of luxurious habits: he was not especially well dressed and he did not even have a car. At the age of forty-five he was still a bachelor though. Since marriage was not a subject he ever discussed we had no means of finding out whether he regretted not having a wife.
Penury disappeared suddenly from our circle and shortly afterwards we came to learn the first really solid facts about our mystery man. From reports that appeared in the newspapers, together with photographs of the man who was without doubt, our Mr. Penury, it was revealed that he was the most accomplished burglar in the London area; and that he had practiced this profession for many years, until he was arrested and sent to prison.

One Sunday evening when I was eight years old my parents and I were riding in the back seat of my rich uncle's car. We had been out for a ride and now we were back in the Bronx, headed for home. Suddenly, another car sideswiped us. My mother and aunt shrieked. My uncle swore softly. My father, in whose lap I was sitting, said out the window at the speeding car, "That's all right. Nothing but a few Jews in here." In an instant I knew everything. I knew there was a world beyond our streets, and in that world my father was a humiliated man, without power or standing. When I was sixteen a girl in the next building had her nose straightened; we all went together to see Selma Shapiro lying in state, wrapped in bandages from which would emerge a person fit for life beyond the block. Three buildings away a boy went downtown for a job, and on his application he wrote "Anold Brown" instead of "Anold Braunowiitz." The news swept through the neighborhood like a wild fire. A nose job? A name change? What was happening here? It was awful; it was wonderful. It was frightening; it was delicious. Whatever it was, it wasn't standstill. Things felt lively and active. Self-confidence was on the rise, passivity on the wane. We were going to experience challenges. That's what it meant to be in the new world. For the first time we could imagine ourselves out there.
But who exactly do I mean when I say we? I mean Arnie, not Selma. I mean my brother, not me. I mean the boys, not the girls. My mother stood behind me, pushing me forward. "The girl goes to college, too," she said. And I did. But my going to college would not mean the same thing as my brother's going to college, and we all knew it. For my brother, college meant going from the Bronx to Manhattan. But for me? From the time I was fourteen I yearned to get out of the Bronx, but get out into what? I did not actually imagine myself a working person alone in Manhattan and nobody else did either. What I did imagine was that I would marry, and that the man I married would get me downtown. He would brave the perils of class and race, and somehow I'd be there alongside him.
In the passage, we can find the author was ______
A.quite satisfied with her life
B.a poor Jewish girl
C.born in a middle-class family
D.a resident in a rich area in New York
听力原文: Botany, the study of plants, occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge. For many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest of insights. It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of pm-industrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. This is logic al.
Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungles of the Amazon recognize literally hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them, botany, as such, has no name and is probably ' not even recognized as a special branch of "knowledge" at all.
Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become, the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone unconsciously has an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid. Our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season. That was the first great step in a new association between plants and animals. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops.

B: Good Evening! Everybody!
A: Eric! We knew you are working in a very successful, multi-million dollar company, could you tell us why this company becomes so successful?
B: Well, I think its success down to corporate culture. This culture is something that's been in place for some time. We're involved in basically every major decision within the company — from setting client expectations to implementing a new dust protection system. As production coordinator, I get to know our customers well, so it was a natural for me to volunteer to call past clients. I loved it and got immediate results.
A:Could you tell us more?
B: We also organize anti-bureaucrat weeks, where all the managers have to work in the store showrooms, warehouses or restaurants for at least one week a year.
A: So, that really makes SilverMark Inc. Design & Build a fascinating place to work for.
You will hear two people talking about corporate culture of company.

When my first wife and I began the school, we had one main idea: to make the school fit the child-instead of making the child fit the school. I had this idea because I had taught in ordinary schools for many years. I knew the other way well. I knew it was all wrong. It was wrong because it was based on an adult conception of what a child should be and of how a child should learn. The other way dated from the days when psychology was still and unknown science.
Well, we set out to make a school in which we should allow children freedom to be themselves. In order to do this, we had to renounce all discipline, all direction, all suggestion, all moral training, all religious instruction. We have been called brave, but it did not require courage. All it required was what we had-a complete belief in the child as a good, not an evil, being. For almost forty years, this belief in the goodness of the child has never wavered; it rather has become a final faith.
My view is that a child is innately wise and realistic. If left to himself without adult suggestion of any kind, he will develop as far as he is capable of developing. But, what is Summerhill like? Well, for one thing, lessons are optional. Children can go to them to stay away from them-for years if they want to. There is a timetable-but only for the teachers.
The children have classes usually according to their age, but sometimes according to their interests. We have no new methods of teaching, because we do not consider that teaching in itself matters very much. Whether a school has or has not a special method for teaching long division is of no significance, for long division is of no importance except to those who want to learn it. And the child who wants to learn long division will learn it no matter how taught.
Children who come to Summerhill as kindergarteners attend lessons from the beginning of their stay; but pupil from other schools vow that they will never attend any beastly lessons again at any time. They play and cycle and get in people's way, but they fight shy of lessons. This sometimes goes on for months. They recovery time is proportionate to the hatred their last school gave them. Our record case was a girl from a convent. She loafed for three years. The average period of recovery from lesson aversion is three mouths.
Summerhill is probably the happiest school in the world. We have no truants and seldom a case of homesickness. We very rarely have fights-quarrels, of course. I have seldom seen a stand-up fight like the ones we used to have as boys. I seldom hear a child cry, because children when free have much less hate to express than children who are downtrodden. Hate breeds hate, and love breads love. Love means approving of children, and that is essential in any school. You can't be on the side of children if you punish them and storm at them. Summerhill is a school in which the child knows what he is approved of.
According to the passage, Summerhill places more emphasis on______.
A.improving the teaching method.
B.physical activities than on mental training.
C.instilling confidence in the child.
D.freeing the child from heavy burden of lessons.
