most gorgeous guy] He was standing alone in line at the cafeteria and looked out place. Turning to my friends, I said, "I have to meet him!"

Challenging my spontaneity, my friends reached into their purses and came up with money for a bet. They then dare me to run up to him, pretend that I knew him and convince him that he knew me. Smiling, I turned and was off to the cutie pie.

"Dan, Dan!" I yelled as I ran up to him. "How are you？ How's your mom？" He just stood there looking at me I could tell that he was shy. I liked him immediately.

"I'm not Dan," he said, looking a little confused.

"Sure you are!" I countered. "You lived in Sierra Hall last year, third floor! You were Bob's roommate."

"No I lived off campus last year," this sweet man replied still not getting it. I turned and started to leave, and he began asking me a series of questions, know you from mom's allergy clinic？ (I hate shots.) "Were you in the parrot class I took last summer？" (I like birds only slight more than shots.) "Do you eat at Taco Bell？ I work there." (Never.)

"Well," he said, "I know I'm not Dan, and I didn't live in Sierra Hall." He reached out his hand to mine. My name is Tim, and I'm pleased to meet you anyway.

He invited me to his fraternity party that night. I composed myself and informed him that I did not go to fraternity parties. But as I watched him walk away, I had second thoughts. That afternoon, I took the money that I'd won from the bet and bought a black miniskirt. I was going to my flint fraternity party.

When I arrived there, I was a little nervous. Would he be there？ when I got to the front steps of the frat house, I looked up and saw Tim sitting at the top. He looked at me and smiled.

"I was hoping you would come. I've been waiting for you." I sat down next to him and we started talking. We talked all that night and for the next three nights until dawn. Four months later, he asked me to marry him. Four years later, we tied the knot. This year, we celebrated the fifteenth anniversary, of the day we met.

Some nights when we are snuggling together, I'm reminded that I found my soul mate on a dare. Now and then, my husband asks, "Am I Dan or Tim tonight？" Having a special place in my heart for both of them, I always laugh and reply, "You decide !"

听力原文：Interviewer: What was your holiday location and how did you hear about it？

Interviewee: My holiday location was Waiwera, in New Zealand. It is a thermal spa resort. I was there last year with my parents, my sister and a couple of friends of my parents. My father and my little sister, who inherited the medical problems from my father, need to go to a thermal spa every year for treatment. They used to go to the Polynesian Spa in Rotorua, another famous resort in New Zealand, but last year they decided that they fancied a change. I had never gone with them to a spa because I preferred to spend my holiday at home or go to other places, but last year when they changed the location I decided to go with them. I also decided to go because my sister really wanted me to go with her. My parents found out about this location from some of the people they met in Rotorua. These people said that they were more satisfied with the accommodation and facilities at the Waiwera spa, so my parents were curious and when they returned home they asked me to search on the Internet for some information. They were impressed with the information I found and it was then that they decided to plan a trip there.

Interviewer: So you went with your family and your parents' friends.

Interviewee: Yes. I travelled with my parents, my little sister and some family friends with their three children, so that altogether we were nine people. I was lucky because in the other family there was a boy one year older than me so I had someone to pass the time with and have some fun. There were a lot of elderly people and kids at the spa town, so I was happy that he was with me. We had similar interests. It's good to be with someone with your own age when you are on holiday.

Interviewer: How much time did you spend finding out information about this spa？

Interviewee: I didn't spend so much time searching for the information be- cause the spa has website that was easy: to find. We wanted some more information that wasn't on the website, particularly about how to get there, but we went to a travel agency and they gave us the information that we didn't have and made there the reservations for all of us.

Interviewer: Can you tell us the thing you like most at the spa？

Interviewee: There were so many things that I liked there. I especially liked the accommodation. We stayed at the Waiwera Holiday Inn which is situated right on the beach. It offers spectacular sea views. I think that I will never forget it.

Interviewer: Were there any things that you were not satisfied with？

Interviewee: I think that the bad side of this vacation was that there were so many old people and many many children. Luckily, there were some play areas for children and they stayed there most of the time.

Interviewer: How was your room？ Did you have everything you needed？

Interviewee: Yes we had everything we needed. Everything was comfortable and the conditions were great so I have nothing to complain about.

Interviewer: Did you make any new friends？ Are you still in touch？

Interviewee: Everyone was very gentle and warm. They really made a good impression. When we needed some help they were very helpful and I felt great. I'm still in touch with the son of my parents' friends.

Interviewer: How did you spend your time？ Did you participate in any recreational activities？

Interviewee: I don't have any medical problems like my father and sister, but I still went to the thermal spa. There were a lot of recreational activities to enjoy if we wanted. For example, I played golf because there was a mini golf course. Basketball and volleyball were also available, but we couldn't get enough people together for two proper teams. I also went to swim and I also went scuba diving on the reef not far from the hotel. There was a small group of us with an instructor. It was truly amazing. I cannot describe in words how I felt down there. It was like I was in paradise.

SECTION C NEWS BROADCAST

Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. At the end of each news item, you will be given 10 seconds to answer the questions.

听力原文： Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, ER and Friends were some of the big winners at the People's Choice Awards on Sunday night.

Roberts took home the favorite motion picture actress award. Hanks won favorite motion picture actor and favorite dramatic motion picture actor, beating out last year's dual winner, Mel Gibson.

"People, love, and understanding. Thank you, everybody." Hanks said in his acceptance speech. "I'm a lucky man... I have a great job and I get to do it often enough to get me out of the house on school nights."

N Sync. Faith Hill and Garth Brooks were named favorite musicians.

The awards are decided through a public opinion poll conducted by Gallup. Favorite TV shows included ER, Friends, My Wife and Kids and Survivor: The Australian Outback.

The 28th annual People's Choice Awards took its cue from the Emmys. In apparent reaction to the Sept. 11 attacks, it was a subdued affair. Dressy business attire took the place of formal wear as performers from movies, television, and music came togehter to allow the public to honor them.

This year, people were allowed to vote online in two categories -- favorite new television comedy series and favorite new drama.

The star of King of Queens Kevin James hosted the affair and provided comic relief. One of his funnier bits came when he donned a swan dress, á la Blork at last year's Oscars, although he maintained he had the outfit first. A video clip was shown featuring him shopping, golfing and hanging out in the swan ensemble.

Which of the following words can best describe this year's celebration？

A．Extravagant.

B．Formal.

C．Dull.

They further add that, unfortunately, what appears on the exterior does not always reflect the reality of a chosen community. They are right--sometimes it reflects more! Just ask Liesl Denson. Riding the school bus has been more than a ride to school for Liesl.

Bruce Hardy, school bus driver for Althouse BUS Company, has been Liesl's bus driver since kindergarten. Last year when Liesl's family moved to Parkesburg, knowing her bus went by her new residence, she requested to ride the same bus.

This year Liesl is a senior and will enjoy her last year, riding the bus. She says, "It's been a great ride so far ! My bus driver is so cool and has always been a good friend and a good listener. Sometimes when you're a child adults do not think that what you have to say is important. Mr. Hardy always listens to what you have to say and makes you feel important." Her friends Ashley Batista and Amanda Wolfe agree.

Bruce Hardy has been making Octorara students feel special since 1975. This year he will celebrate 30 years working for Althouse Bus Company, Larry Althouso, president of the company, acknowledges Bruce Hardy's outstanding record . "You do not come by employees like Bruce these days. He has never missed a day of work and has a perfect driving record. He was recognized in 2000 by the Pennsylvania School Bus Association for driving 350 000 accident free miles. Hardy's reputation is made further evident through the relationships he has made with the students that ride his bus."

Althouse further adds, "Althouse Bus Company was established 70 years ago and has been providing quality transportation ever since. My grandfather started the business with one bus.

Althouse Bus Company is delighted to have the opportunity to bring distinctive and safe service to our local school and community and looks forward to continuing to provide quality service for many more years to come."

Three generations of business is not all the company has enjoyed. Thanks to drivers like Bruce Hardy, they have been building relationships through generations, Liesl's mother Carol also enjoys fond memories of riding Bruce Hardy's bus to the Octorara School District.
