听力原文: Jim grew up in a very critical family. Both his father and mother felt that there were certain right ways to do most things. As Jim grew up he was always given very precise instructions about what to do and how to behave. If he did not follow the instructions exactly, he would be criticized or even punished. Now, as a young adult he is often afraid to try anything new for fear of doing it wrong. For the same reason, he will seldom make decisions. At times he feels that he just can't do anything right. Jim has little contact with his parents since he knows that they are disappointed in him. Jim has trouble making decisions and feels like a failure most of the time.

A hearing aid is【C4】______ a complete solution to the problem. Sound【C5】______ through an aid seems to have a lot of background【C6】______ So while an aid is helpful in a quiet, carpeted room, it can be very 【C7】______ to use in the street in the rush hour, in a Station ticket office, a cinema or a concert hall.
So【C8】______ with a hearing aid, deaf people have to lipread as well.
Lipreading is difficult and needs【C9】______ concentration. The lipreader must have a clear, direct【C10】______ of the speaker's face. you may notice a lipreader【C11】______ his position when you talk to him; this is【C12】______ he can get more light on your face. The【C13】______ can't do anything else at the same time【C14】______ lipread., he has to stop eating, stop reading, stop washing-up, stop everything in order to【C15】______ on what being said.
You can help by understanding the problem. Think【C16】______ it's like trying to communicate on a very 【C17】______ telephone line. Frustrating, isn't it? Deaf people have to【C18】______ that all the time. So if someone doesn't【C19】______ to understand or listen to what you say, don't just【C20】______ it's foolishness or rudeness: it might be deafness.

Winton's first foray into teenage fiction, Lockie Leonard, Human Torpedo, is about to go into its second printing. Even more gratifying for the writer has been the response the book has prompted. He's had scores of appreciative letters "from kids, parents, teachers", and has read passages from the book to students in country high schools.
Writing for young readers has also enabled Winton to find a wider, non-literary audience. "It's very difficult to break out of the few-thousand-group of Australians who read, of whom half or all are professional or semi-professional readers. It's nice to get to people who aren't jaded, who will come at a story and read it for what it is. "You don't have to deal with their education and their past and their biases."
Winton was himself still a teenager when he started writing seriously at 16. Three years later, in 1981, he was named joint winner of The Australian Vogel Literary Award for his first novel, An Open Swimmer. Had he known when he was 16 how difficult it is to make a living as a writer, he would never have started. "I was about 10 when I decided I wanted to be a writer, and I guess I lacked the imagination to think of anything else," he said. "I got the idea and I just stuck with it. I was unaware of how hard it is to make a living from the people you have to deal with."
Neither lack of imagination nor inattention to detail is evident in Winton's writing. In That Eye, The Sky, he takes us into the turbulent soul of his 12-year-old protagonist, Morton Flack, with prose that sends you back to long, hot summer holidays in the country.
The hot white day swims along real snow like the sun is breast-stroking through that blue sky when it should be going freestyle. Everyone hangs around the shade of the house listening to the trees in the east wind. The ground is wobbly with heat. The house ticks. You can hear seeds popping, grass drying up and fainting flat. You can hear the snakes puffing.
Other young protagonists have been given voice in Winton's short stories, so the transition to writing for teenagers, instead of about them, was a smooth one. "Lockie's not so different in tone from the adult books," he said. "If you get too self-conscious when you're writing for kids, you end up talking down to them--you just use your own tone and be yourself, and if that doesn't work, it probably wouldn't have anyway."
Winton hopes to reach an audience (in Paragraph 4) that is ______.
A.youthful and caring
B.unprofessional and jaded
C.educated and widely read
D.unbiased and spontaneous
There are two kinds of division of labor: that based on age and that based on sex.
Division of labor by age results in the obvious biological fact that human beings【C1】______ three major periods of development. In childhood, the human is in large part dependent upon adults for food, shelter, and other【C2】______ ; he has neither the strength nor the skills to【C3】______ for himself. Children, in most societies, have only light tasks as helpers【C4】______ adults or none at all, and when duties are【C5】______ , these are often regarded as educational, to prepare the child for his adult【C6】______ .
Adulthood is ordinarily the period of greatest vigor and ability. The adult man or woman【C7】______ on full responsibility for the duties of his/her sex and special occupation. In many societies, in particular those【C8】______ the technology requires physical strength and stamina, the adult in the prime of life【C9】______ a dominant role and is often assigned the more responsible position in the group.
Old age, since it inevitably brings【C10】______ a loss in muscular vigor and a decline in sight, hearing and coordination, again results in a change in occupational status. This does not necessarily mean that the old lose【C11】______ ;
many societies make full use of their older members' experience and wisdom and employ them to direct the efforts of the more vigorous【C12】______ no-so-experienced adults.
Sex division of labor is more difficult to【C13】______ for in strictly biological terms. A careful survey of the division of labor by sex lends little support to the often-repeated 【C14】______ that women are 【C15】______ only for occupations that require relatively little skill or intelligence. In recent years women, freed from economic【C16】______ to men, have shown themselves fully【C17】______ in nearly all professions in which they have been given the opportunity to participate. Man's wider range of occupation and the fact【C18】______ he very often occupies the more important positions of leadership in human societies, is probably【C19】______ due to his allegedly superior intelligence than to his greater freedom from the biological function of childbirth and the necessarily【C20】______ duties in the care of infant.

Either the author has aimed too 【C3】______ , so that the children can't follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 【C4】______ the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children's books are 【C5】______ very difficult nor very simple, and 【C6】______ both the child who hears the story and the adult who reads it. 【C7】______ , there are in fact few books like this, 【C8】______ the problem offending the right bedtime story is not 【C9】______ to solve.
This may be why many books regarded as 【C10】______ of children's literature were in fact written for 【C11】______ . Alice's Adventure in Wonderland is perhaps the most 【C12】______ of this.
Children, left for themselves, often 【C13】______ the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in bookshop or 【C14】______ and he will 【C15】______ willingly choose the books written in an 【C16】______ way, or have a look at most children's comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the 【C17】______ of teachers and right thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash children into 【C18】______ our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so 【C19】______ that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the 【C20】______ books. So I suppose we'll just have to compromise over that bedtime story.
