Now, taking books, or anything else, from a little girl is like taking candy from a baby, but the father of the little girl had his way and Robert got two of her books. "After all, that leaves you with nine", said the father, who thought he was a philosopher and a child psychologist, and couldn't shut his big stupid mouth on the subject.
A few weeks later, the father went to his library to look up "father" in the Oxford English Dictionary, to feast his eyes on(饱眼福) the praise of fatherhood through the centuries, but he couldn't find volume F~G and then he discovered that three others were missing, too—A~B, L~M, V~Z. He began to search his household, and learned what had happened to the four missing volumes.
"A man came to the door this morning", said his little daughter, "and he didn't know how to get from here to Torrington, or from Torrington to Winsted, and he was a nice man, much nicer than Robert, and so I gave him four of your books. After all, there are thirteen volumes in the Oxford English Dictionary, and that leaves you with nine".
How does the writer feel about taking picture books from a little girl?
A.This sort of thing is quite common.
B.It makes no difference to a child.
C.It is nothing to be surprised at.
D.It may hurt the girl's feelings.

听力原文:W: Bird watching! Now what is it people love about this so much?
M: I think it's the challenge, it keeps your brain going, you feel like a little kid on a treasure hunt. You're poking around the trees, and looking for little hidden birds.
W: The three central characters in your book, the top finishers in the 1998 Big Year competition, were clearly looking for a challenge. Tell us how the Big Year works.
M: Well, the Big Year is a contest with no referees and few rules. The idea is, who can see the most species of birds in North America in one year. So you can see them however you want. You can fly to see them, ride a bike to see them. In one case, they even took a helicopter to see them in the Ruby Mountains of Nevada.
W: And they chase the birds through the canyon, as I recall.
M: They did, up and over peaks, and one guy had a horrible seasickness problem.
W: It is said he just hoped he could hold his breakfast together.
M: And he did, and he got the bird. What a great bonus.
What do the man and the woman talk about?
A.A book on birds.
B.Species of birds.
C.A man chasing birds.
D.Activities of watching birds.

听力原文:Interviewer: Can you still remember the thrill of it? I mean the first time you actually ride out there, out in front must be ...
Man: Yeah, yeah, it was certainly a big thrill, but it was an evening event. It was the last race and it was almost dark by the time we'd finished and when I got home it was about ten or eleven o'clock, so there was very little time to think about it or do anything. And I had to be up at about half five the next day for my job, so unfortunately it was straight back to work really.
You hear part of an interview in which a man is talking about winning his first horse race. What does he say about it?
A.He found it rather disappointing.
B.He didn't have a chance to celebrate.
C.He was too tired to care.
听力原文: Mike Wilson worked as a low rank official in the War Office during the early 1940s. Though he didn't bold an important position, he got along very well with almost everybody, and was believed in by most of his leaders.
One day, Wilson arrived at his office in an expensive car. Little as his pay was, he appeared to have got a lot of money to spend. he bought an expensive house and gave parties one after another. At one of the parties he met a beautiful woman and fell in love with her. When he was asked by the woman one evening how he had suddenly got so much money to spend, Wilson explained that he had a very rich uncle who lived abroad and posted him money nearly every month. But his story could not fool the woman. She was a policewoman and was sent to watch him closely by acting as his "girlfriend", because the police had noticed that he often stayed behind in the evenings and was usually the last person to leave the War Office.
His "girlfriend" and three other policemen entered his house when he was out and discovered copies of government secret papers and a radio transmitter hidden inside a piano. After Wilson was caught, it was learned that his real name was Jack Brown, and that he had been hired as a spy for the Germans.
