A very old lady won a million dollars in a lottery(彩票). Her son and his wife heard the news on the radio. “How are we going to tell your mother?” the wife asked. “The shock might kill her!”
“That's true,” the son said. “Perhaps we'd better speak to her doctor about it. He'll know how to break(告诉)the news to her gently.”
They explained the situation to the old lady's doctor.
“I'm glad you told me,” he said, “A shock, even a happy one, could give her a heart attack. Leave it to me. I'll find a way of breaking the news to her.”
He thought about the problem for several days, then decided what he would say. He called on(拜访)the old lady and sat by her beside. He took her hand in his. “Let's play a game, my dear,” he said. “Let's Pretend' game.”
“Oh, yes,” the old lady said. “I love 'Let's Pretend' game.”
“Good. I'll ask you a question first,” the doctor said. “Then you can tell me one.”
He pretended to think for a few moments. Then he said, “Tell me, what would you do if you won a million dollars in the lottery?” “Oh, that's an easy one,” the old lady said. “I'd give most of it to you, doctor, because you have been so good to me all these years. Doctor!”

Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
听力原文: "I'm seventy years old," says the gray-haired lady proudly to a man.
"Did you hear that, everyone?" says the man to the people in the room. "This lovely lady is just seventy years young! And she doesn't look a day over fifty."
He has been Careful not to use the word "old". In a society where youth is so admired, old age is often seen as something sad, something to fight against. Americans prefer not to say "old people". They use the expression "senior citizens" . They do not talk about "old people's" homes, but "retirement" homes.
In fact, the man is not so wrong. Seventy is not very old these days. People in the U.S. are living longer and longer. In 1980,12 percent of Americans were over sixty-five years old. By 2030, 21 percent will be over sixty-five. Improved medical care means that people are living longer.
However, Americans are no longer happy to accept the gray hair, bald heads, and boring clothes of their own parents. American women spend millions of dollars a year on operations to lift their faces and make those ugly wrinkles disappear. Men are prepared to spend even more on operations to plant new hair on their bald heads. It's worth any money to look young.
