听力原文: Mr. Smith was a wealthy industrialist, but he was not satisfied with life. He did not sleep well and his food did not agree with him. This situation lasted for some time. Finally, after several sleepless nights, he decided to go to see his doctor. The doctor advised him to go abroad to change condition. But Mr. Smith was afraid that he was not good at foreign language. The doctor told him that he could talk a little less and gave him four pieces of advice: go on a voyage, take plenty of exercise, try to re- duce his weight and avoid rich food.
Mr. Smith went to French. But he did not know French, and had to communicate through body movements. He joined in a physical training course. The teacher made him shake his knees, his arms, his neck and his head rapidly. He had to lie on the ground and raise his right and left legs. After a time his body grew hard and firm. He forgot his company and the importance of raising the level of production. He even began to notice the green trees and the lovely birds.
Finally he returned home. But unfortunately his improvement was only temporary. Soon he was a normal business man again, worried about his company, his savings, his advancement in a technological society,and things in general.
Why did Mr. Smith go to see his doctor?
A.Because he had little to eat.
B.Because he was seriously ill.
C.Because he was afraid of sleeping at night.
D.Because he didn't feel well.

On the Train
The night train from Glasgow was so crowded that Donald, who was on his way to London to find a temporary job for the university vacation, wished that he had decided to travel by day. He had never been so hard up.
He got on the train and walked along the corridor of the second-class compartments. He couldn't find a seat anywhere. He could not afford to travel first class, and he did not want to stand in the corridor. Neither did he want to sit on his suitcase. He was so tired that he decided to sit down in a first class compartment---at least for a while. He soon found one with a single occupant (乘客), a gentleman reading documents from a briefcase. With the self-assurance of a first class traveler, he opened the door and went in. No sooner had he sat down than the ticket inspector arrived. What bad luck! Now he would have to pay the excess (额外的) fare. As he turned out his pocket to find enough money he saw the gentleman was watching him with amusement. It was humiliating (令人感到羞辱的). However, he was so tired that he soon fell asleep.
Presently, hearing a noise, he half opened his eyes. Not only did he notice that his traveling companion had gone, but he also saw that a rough-looking man was searching through the businessman's briefcase. Donald grabbed the briefcase and wrenched (猛夺) it free, kicking at the man's leg. The man fled.
Then the businessman returned and found Donald holding the briefcase and peering inside it. Donald realized that he was in quite an awkward situation, but the man was smiling. Nor was this the only surprising thing. Not only was the gentleman (who introduced himself as Mr. Smith) smiling, but he thanked Donald warmly. On his way back to the compartment, Mr. Smith had seen the man leaving in a great hurry. He had so quickly assessed the situation that he knew Donald was innocent.
Only after a long chat, in which Donald was asked many questions about himself, did Donald discover that Mr. Smith was in fact managing director of a large factory in London. Donald had never imagined that this strange incident would help him to find a job, but just as they were leaving the train, Mr. Smith offered him the post of temporary Night Security Officer for his factory.
The train Donald took was
A.a daytime train to Glasgow.
B.a night train to Glasgow.
C.a daytime train to London.
D.a night train to London.
Q1 In keeping with...... , means a group of people, the opposers or protesters of the royal existence, gathered on the street , holding placards to show their opposition to the monarchy. They think the "diamond Jubilee is the most precious occasion to demonstrate their opposition, which can increase their popularity and attraction sharply. Only 8 people composed the group, actually quite small in number. But the author thinks the number of 8 people is quite to the satisfaction of the organizer of the protest. Q2. 像许多观看庆典活动的民众一样,他们也希望女王能看到他们,也许他们还会出现在电视节目报道中。然而,对这一群体来说,电视报道尤为紧迫。 Q3. Mr. Smith means that more and more people are showing their support to their group. Since the increase of the number of their supporters from 300 to 20,000 is very obvious and huge. It also indicates that they have mailed to people at least twice to have a better view of their support from the public. But the author points to the fact that actually only a minimum part of the public reacted to their mail , no more than 0.00004 of the British people did, so the change of the numbers given by Mr. Smith, maybe, means nothing.
