听力原文:M: My brother Steve has just done a course at the Queen's Park Summer School.

M: Well, for one thing, some boys in his class decided to do it and they dared him to go with them!
W: You mean that he did not really want to go?

W: So he enjoyed it, didn't he?
M: Not exactly. I think he's enjoying the feeling of having done it more than he enjoyed actually doing it.
W: What sort of things did he do?
M: Oh, all sorts of open-air activities: hiking, camping, canoeing. One thing he had to do was to capsize a canoe and then right it again without getting out. He said the water was very cold but that he hardly noticed it at the time.
W: Why not?

W: That doesn't sound very comfortable at this time of the year.

What can we learn about Peter from the conversation.'?
A.Peter cannot wait to attend the course.
B.At first he was reluctant and timid.
C.Mike enjoyed the open-air life very much.
D.Peter did not get well along with his classmates.
He will show you the details of a whole range of properties; many of them are not really what you are looking for at all. That does not matter. Far better turn them down than risk missing the right one.
The printed details he will give you are called " particulars". Over the years, a whole language has grown up, solely for use in Agent's particulars. It is flowery, ornate (华丽的) and, providing you read it carefully and discount the adjectives, it can be very accurate and helpful.
Since the passing of the Trades Description Act, any trader trying to sell something has had to be very careful as to what they say about it. Estate Agents have, by now, become very competent at going as far as they dare. For instance, it is quite acceptable to say "delightfully situated". That is an expression of his opinion. You may not agree, but he might like the idea of living next to the gasworks. If, on the other hand, he says that the house has five bedrooms when, in fact, it has only two, that is a misstatement of fact and is an offence. This has made Estate Agents, and others for that matter, rather more careful.
Basically, all that you need to know about a house is: how many bedrooms it has; an indication of their size; whether the house has a garage; whether there is a garden and whether it is at the back or the front of the house; whether it is semi-detached or terraced (联排的) .
The Estate Agent's Negotiator will______.
A.want all the details of your financial circumstances
B.want to satisfy himself that you understand the financial implications of buying a house
C.check your financial position with the XYZ Building Society
D.accept any statement you make about your financial position
B: Yes. They made him stop working after 50 years at sea. He's pretty upset about it, but what can you do? He has to accept that.
A: He's all alone, isn't he?
B: Yes. His wife's been dead for years. They had one daughter, Doris, but she went off to town as soon as she left school, and he hasn't heard from her since. I hear she's making good money as a model.
A: Maybe someone should get in touch with her, get her to come back for a bit to help?
B: I don't suppose she'd come. She never got on with her father. He's a bit of a tough character, and she's as selfish as before. Oh, I expect old Jake will get by. He's healthy at least, comes into the clinic for a check regularly.
A: Are you his doctor?
B: No. My colleague, Dr. Thomas is.
A: That bad-tempered old man?
B: Oh, no. Dr. Thomas is not really bad-tempered. He just looks like it. He's an excellent doctor. He teaches me a lot. And he has a very nice family--his wife invites me over there to supper every week, very pleasant.
A: I know his daughter, a bit careless but bright and popular with her age-group.
B: I like that little girl, too.
