听力原文: Thomas Wheeler, a chief executive officer of the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, and his wife were driving along an interstate highway when he noticed that their car was low on gas. Wheeler got off the highway at the next exit and soon found a rundown gas station with just one gas pump. He asked the only worker to fill the tank and check the oil, and then went for a little walk around the station to exercise his legs. As he was returning to the car, he noticed that the worker and his wife were engaged in a lively conversation. The conversation stopped as he paid the worker. But as he was getting back into the car, he saw the worker wave to his wife and heard him say, "It was great talking to you," As they drove out of the station, Wheeler asked his wife if she knew the man. She readily admitted she did. They had gone to high school together and had dated steadily for about a year. "Boy, were you lucky that I came along," boasted Wheeler. "If you had married him, you'd be the wife of a gas station worker instead of the wife of a chief executive officer." "My dear," replied his wife, "if I had married him, he'd be the chief executive officer and you'd be the gas station worker."

听力原文: Never a very confident man, Hanley was happy to leave all the arrangements for the exhibition to his agent, a young man by the name of Green, who had a talent for organization. Green had been to his studio and, with the help of Hanley's wife, had selected the pictures for the exhibition. He had decorated the hall and had personally supervised the hanging of the pictures. Most important of all, he had seen to it that all the invitations went to the right people: critics, reporters and, of course, people with money to spend on paintings.
"There's no doubt about it," Green assured him during the exhibition," everything has gone off very well. "Hanley was pleased, but remained shyly in the background, unwilling to meet his public.
"One picture caught special attention. "Green told him. He consulted his catalogue. "Number thirty-seven. It did not have a name, so your wife and I decided to call it' Midnight'-- because all the colors are very dark."
Hanley, unable to recognize the picture from this description, was puzzled, but he said nothing. When everyone had left, he slipped across to see for himself the painting which had attracted so much attention. He laughed so much that Green came across to see what the matter was. Trying hard to suppress his amusement, Hanley told him that one of his son's paintings had been hung up by mistake.

听力原文: An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer, a contractor, of his plans to leave the house-building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by. The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career. When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the contractor handed the front-door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you." What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well. So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized that we would have done it differently. Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one more day, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity. The plaque on the wall says, "Life is a do-it-yourself project." Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. What did the carpenter plan to do?
