听力原文：M: Hi, Sally, going to the football game today？
W. Not to it. I' m planning to watch it on television.
M: Why is that？ Do you feel too poor this close to the end of the month？
W: Money is not the problem. I find it easier to follow football on television than in the stadium. When I see the game in person, I feel just I am too far away from the action, and I always lose track of the ball.
M: I know just what you mean. Besides on television the new cameras they use give you super-views of all the plays. But there is always so much excitement. People cheering and shouting when you are there in person. The enthusiasm is catching, and I'd cheer along with everyone else.
W: You are right there. But I' d like to know exactly what I'm yelling for. And if I can' t even see who has the ball, I can't get very excited. So I really prefer watching it on television.
M: I see your point. Well, enjoy the game.
W: You too.
What is the main topic of the conversation？
A．Attendance at sports meet.
B．Viewing football games.
C．Interviews with football players.
D．Types of college cheers.

听力原文： I will never forget the greeting that my family received in Iran in the spring of 1986. My father, Iranian by birth, took my mother, a native Washingtonian, my two brothers and me, aged two, four, and five respectively, to live in Tehran where he had just accepted employment. Showers of hugs and kisses descended upon us from relatives whom I had never met.
During our time in Iran, we spent a great deal of time with our relatives and friends. The family unit forms a significant part of Iran life, perhaps because there were so few material possessions for most of them. Through my relatives, I experienced overwhelming affection, true caring, and unceasing generosity. Although their houses were small and their work was burdensome, there was always time to prepare enormous meals and the space to make all their relatives comfortable. To them nothing was more important than being surrounded by the people they loved and who loved them. Because of my youth in Iran, as a young woman about to leave home to go to college I can now appreciate the support system with which my family has provided me. They have given me confidence and stability. I have learned to cherish their presence and the love that they have always given me. Iran taught me to be thankful for what I am, and not for what I have. That joyful and fatalistic acceptance of whatever life holds which I found in Iran has shaped me into the person I am today. The Iranian people, their unqualified and unselfish generosity, their optimism, and their joy for life will always remain a part of me. I will never forget my eight years in my father's country, which will always be mine as well.

My grandmother, Edith Grisham Cassidy, stood just over five feet tall and weighed about 180 pounds. Mammaw was bright, intense, and aggressive, and had obviously been pretty once. She had a great laugh, but she also was full of anger and disappointment and obsessions she only dimly understood. She took it all out in raging tirades against my grandfather and my mother, both before and after I was born, though I was shielded from most of them. She had been a good student and ambitious, so after high school she took a correspondence course in nursing from the Chicago School of Nursing. By the time I was a toddler she was 'a private-duty nurse for a man not far from our house on Hervey Street. I can still remember running down the sidewalk to meet her when she came home from work.
Mammaw's main goals for me were that I would eat a lot, learn a lot, and always be neat and clean. We ate in the kitchen at a table next to the window. My high chair faced the window, and Mammaw tacked playing cards up on the wooden window frame. at meal times so that I could learn to count. She also staffed me at every meal, because conventional wisdom at the time was that a fat baby was a healthy one, as long as he bathed every day. At least once a day, she read to me from "Dick and Jane" books until I could read them myself, and from World Book Encyclopedia volumes, which in those days were sold door-to-door by salesmen and were often the only books besides the Bible in working people's houses. These early instructions probably explain why I now read a lot, love card games, battle my weight, and never forget to wash my hands and brush my teeth.

A．his grandparents loved him more than his mother did
B．his grandmother loved her grandson more than she loved her daughter
C．his grandparents and his mother made him the most important person in the world
D．his grandparents and his mother took him as the apple of their eye
Dad, Why Did You Do It？
Every time the phone rings in my flat I jump, especially if it's near midnight. Deep down I know it's only Mum, ringing for a chat because, yet again, she can't sleep. But for a fraction of a second I freeze.
It was midnight. when the call came that changed the way I felt about the person I loved most--my dad.
I'd watch his friends playing around with young girls and then look at Dad. "Ridiculous, "he'd say, and I'd smile, knowing he could never behave that way.
Last October, as if to prove the point, he whisked Mum away for a romantic weekend in Rome to celebrate their silver wedding anniversary. She was so happy.
I didn't think any couple could be closer and I always dreamed that when I got married it would be the same for me--secure and caring.
Dad always wanted the best for me and he made sure I got it. Thanks to his Army career and pension we were financially better off than most. But he always pushed me to achieve things for myself and not be too dependent on him and Mum.
I loved him for that, but when he packed me off to America for a year to "find myself" I didn't want to go.
Hugging me at the airport, Dad wiped away my tears. "It'll be character building, Emma," he said, adding: "Anyway, if you. don't like it after a few months you can come back. But trust me Princess, you'll love it."
He was right. I loved the States, and living there built up my confidence.
Still, I missed Dad like mad. I remember sitting in a coffee bar in Chicago and hiding behind the menu as tears poured down my face.
I was frightened, alone and I knew Dad wasn't there to put his arms around me and reassure me. I rushed out to a phone booth to call him. As soon as I heard his sleepy voice I felt okay.
Then, when I got home 12 months later, nothing much had changed…I thought.
Mum was as madly in love with Dad as she'd been since the day he'd first kissed her in the school playground; and Dad seemed to feel the same--on the outside.
Except he'd finally left the Army and was now an area manager for a car manufacturer. Mum was over the moon--it meant he no longer had to travel all over the country and spend months away from home.
Dad was excited about his new job, and when he started working late neither Mum nor I thought anything of it. He told us it was a new project, and so confidential he wasn't allowed to tell us much about it. I believed he was at work, tucked away in his office--until I got that unforgettable midnight call.
The woman s voice was hesitant but panicky. She asked if I was George s daughter. I didn't realize who she was until she told me Dad was with her--at midnight.
She said she hadn't wanted to ring, that she'd never wanted me to find out about her, but she had no choice. Someone had to know that Dad was on his way to hospital. "He's had a heart attack," she said, her voice trembling.
As I paced up and down the hospital corridor, this strange woman explained that she'd been with my father when he' d collapsed. The thought of them together made me feel ill. While I rushed to the toilet to splash water on my face, I heard a cry. It was her.
As soon as I saw the doctor taking off his mask and laying a hand on her shoulder, I knew Dad had gone.
I couldn't make myself go and look at him. I would've seen a stranger lying there.
The man who for 24 years had told me never to lie, to be true to myself and always to treasure family values above all else, had slipped away from my lift for ever.
Only then did I discover this woman worked for the company. She was Dad's so-called" confidential project".
An hour or so later I broke the news to Mum. I said Dad had suffered a heart
