I’m a graduate student in the US, and to make enough money to pay for my rent and food, I have to work as a guard at the university library at night. Last week one of my friends, Lin, came to the library after hours. He told me he had left his notebook in the library and needed it to study for a test the next day. I told Lin that according to the rules I was’t supposed to let anyone in, but he begged me and said that if he didn’t get his notes there was no way he could pass the test. He was my good friend and I knew he wouldn’t steal anything. I also didn’t feel like I could say no, so I let him in. Unfortunately, just then my supervisor came by and saw Lin going in, so he stopped Lin and then started bawling me out in front of Lin for not following the rules. I tried to explain the situation, but that only seemed to make my supervisor more angry. He said it didn’t matter if Lin was my friend or not, so I just shut up and let him scold me. I realize I broke a rule, but I know Lin and trust him, and letting him in wasn’t the same thing as letting in a stranger, I think my supervisor was very unreasonable to be so picky and critical, and I don’t think he should have yelled at me, especially in front of Lin. Why could’t he understand why I let Lin in？

听力原文： Mr Richards worked in a shop which sold, cleaned and repaired hearing aids. One day an old gentleman entered and put one down in front of him without saying a word. "What's the matter with it？" Mr Richards said. The man did not answer. Of course Mr Richards thought that the man must be deaf and that his hearing aid must be faulty, so he said again, more loudly, "what's wrong with your hearing aid, sir？" Again the man said nothing, so Mr Richards shouted his question again as loudly as he could.

The man then took a pen and piece of paper and wrote: "It isn't necessary to shout when you're speaking to me. My ears are as good as yours. This hearing aid is my wife's, not mine. I've jut had a throat operation, and my problem is not that I can't hear, but that I can't speak."

(23)

A．He wanted to buy a hearing-aid.

B．He wanted to have a hearing-aid repaired.

C．He wanted to get a pen and a piece of paper.

D．He wanted to solve his own problem.

For a young person football is one of the best games. If more people would exercise daily, they would find themselves better all the time.

Television and other modem inventions could possibly be a factor that produces physical unfitness(不适). Television can be very educational, but mostly it is just a waste of time: With the automobile(汽车), another modem invention, people no longer walk to any place. If people are going to sit for hours in front of their TV sets and ride in their cars everywhere, they need to get exercise by sit-ups or playing football.

A．Exercise in Daily Life

B．The Importance of Watching TV

Lately a lot about the affects of smoking and second-hand smoke has been reported almost w

eekly in the news and it's getting very good coverage (报道范围). But we still have parents smoking in front of new-born babies and all the way through their kids' lives.

For me personally, my mother and all my grandparents smoked. So no matter where I went I would inhale(吸入肺部) it. For the past year I've been trying to avoid my own MOTHER when she starts smoking...I feel angry because I've realized how much she is damaging everyone else's health in the house, especially her grandkids.

Now this is happening all over the world. What are parents thinking？ They are ignoring the warning signs. Are they just to be selfish and don't care about their kids' health and other people's？ Why should I move out of the area because of their bad habit？ Shouldn't they have to go outside the room and do it？

What I'm saying is, SMOKING SHOULD BE BANNED AROUND CHILDREN! and it should be an offense to expose children to second-hand cigarette smoke.

When the adult smokes his/her life with children growing up near them, when they die, the children are left with the harm caused by the parent and potentially a bad later life with disease and worse health.

How often has the affects of smoking and second-hand smoke been reported in the newspaper？

A．Once a week.

B．Twice a week.

C．Once a month.

D．Twice a mouth.

听力原文：F: Mr. Franklin, in recent years, Nigeria's traffickers have become key players in the global narcotics trade. Could you use a case to show how they carry on their business？

M: In June 1996, our investigator began tapping four telephone lines in the Chicago area, the taps revealed that a clothes shop run by an Nigerian women, Karl, was actually a front for a worldwide drug ring, bringing heroin from Thailand and Cambodia to the United States. The drug was resold from the clothes shop to Nigerian wholesalers in a trade worth an estimated value of $120 million a year.

F: When was she arrested？

M: On an autumn day in 1996, law enforcement officers in Chicago arrested Kafi and 20 other Nigerians. The same day, in coordinated raids in New York, Detroit, London, Paris, Amsterdam and Bangkok, police seized a dozen more people linked with the drug ring. Eventually, 27 people, most Nigerians, were indicted.

F: What was the court's decision？

M: In August1998, Karl was sentenced to 117 moths in custody for conspiring to import and possess with intent to distribute heroin. But as a matter of fact, that gang was just the tip of an iceberg.

F: Is there any statistics？

M: Today, Nigerian organized criminals are active in no fewer than 60 countries. In the past five years they have been implicated in over 1,200 narcotics smuggling cases, involving several hundred kilos of heroin and cocaine.

F: How do these Nigerians successfully smuggle cocaine for so many times？

M: Well, Customs officers call them "stuffers and swallowers" because, typically, Nigerian smugglers ingest or insert into body cavities between 60 and 70 rubber condoms, each containing around ten grams of heroin or cocaine.

What did Karl the criminal mentioned in the case have as her front of the drug ring？

A．a drug shop.

B．A clothes shop.
