听力原文: When John Weston awoke that morning, he remembered that his mother was going, into hospital. He hadn't worked out quite what was wrong with her. He knew, though, that she hadn't been well for some time now.Their own doctor, who she had. finally gone to for advice, had sent her to a specialist who knew all about these things, and had told her that just as soon as there is a bed for her, she would have to come into his hospital where he could look after her himself.
During the weeks since then the pains had come even more frequently. And his mother began losing her temper over little things, thus John's father kept his thought to himself more and more. John, always considerate, tried to think what it would be like to have toothache all the time and how bad-tempered that would make you.
So his mother would go into hospital for a few days.John was going to stay with his Aunt Daisy till his mother came back, and his father would stay on at home by himself. That was the arrangement, and John didn't care much for it. Apart from missing his mother, he wasn't very fond of his Aunt Daisy because she was even more bad-tempered than his mother.

听力原文: How many of you drink cola? Nearly everybody. Did you know that cola started out not as a soft drink but as a cure for headache back in the late 1800's? John S. Pamberton, a drugist from Atlanta, had experimented for many months trying to find a cure for the common headache. He worked in his back yard, mixing and heating different combinations of oils and flavors until he found one that seems promising.
Pamberton bottled the mixture and began selling it in drugstores as a concentrated syrup that the customer had to mix with water before drinking. Cola's transformation from a concentrated syrup to a carbonated soft drink came about quite by accident. One day, a customer came into a drugstore complaining of a headache and asked for a bottle of cola syrup. He wanted to take it right away. So he asked the clerk to mix the medicine while he waited. The clerk, instead of walking to the other end of the counter to get plain water, suggested mixing the syrup with soda water. The customer agreed, and after drinking it, re marked how good it tasted. The clerk continued offering the mixture and carbonated cola grew in popularity. Today carbonated colas are sold in most countries around the world. And although they no longer contain the ingredients to kill headache, they are still 'very refreshing.
