听力原文:(W—Gene Man—Henry)
W: Have you heard the good news, Henry?
M: What's that?
W: It's going to be cold tonight and tomorrow there will be snow.
M: No, I hadn't heard. Why do you think that's good news, Gene?
W: That means that this weekend I'll be up in the mountains skiing.
M: Well, there is that. Is there going to be a lot of snow in the mountains?
W: The news said that there would be a storm and that by the weekend there would be 14 inches of snow up there.
M: Wow! That's a lot of snow. I might decide to go up to the mountains too. Do you think that the roads will be clear?
W: They said that the snow will be finished by Thursday night so that would give them Friday to clear the roads. I'm planning to put snow tires on my car, so I shouldn't have any problem driving up to the skiing area. Do you want a ride?
M: That would be great. I'll pay for half of the gas. When will you leave?
W: I'll plan on leaving Friday afternoon after class. It takes about four hours to drive there, so I should get there by eight or nine o'clock.
M: Good. That way we can be out on the mountain and ready to ski early on Saturday morning.
W: I'll see you Friday afternoon. Don't forget your skis.

听力原文: Henry Smith taught science at the City School. Once he went to a bookstore and bought some books, most of which were expensive ones. He left them in his car in a quiet street. Then he went and bought some other things at other shops. At 6 o' clock he came back to the car. One window was open - and the books were gone! Henry drove back to his home on Lake Street. That night he wrote a letter to a newspaper. The next day he went to the police. On Friday people read an advertisement in the newspaper:
BOOK WANTED
Have you any books that you no longer want? I buy old and modem books. Open all day on Saturdays. Henry Smith, 18 Lake Street.
Henry stayed at home on Saturday. His first visitor came at 8 o' clock. Henry took him to the kitchen. At half past nine, another man arrived. He had a bag under his arm.
"Mr. Smith?" the man asked.
"That's right," Henry said. "Can I help you?"
"I have some good books. You buy books, don' t you ?"
"Yes, bring them in. I' Il have a look at them."
Soon the books were on the dining - table. "Come in now," Henry called out," and bring the list."
A policeman came into the dining -room. He read the rifles on the books and then those on the list in his hand. They were the same.
"Come with me, sir," the policeman said to the man.

4. The Gift of the Magi by O Henry (Summary) The story begins with Della despairing over the meager amount of money she’s managed to save over the past few months by pinching pennies. She had been hoping to save enough to buy her husband Jim a worthy Christmas present. Della suddenly goes to gaze at her reflection in a window, letting her hair fall to its full length below her knee. Della’s brown hair and Jim’s gold watch that had been passed down from his grandfather are the couple’s most prized possessions. Della runs to a hair shop and sells her hair for twenty dollars. Then she uses the money to buy Jim a simple platinum watch chain. The chain is described as possessing “quietness and value,” like Jim. Della returns home to fix her hair into curls and make dinner. When Jim walks into the door, he freezes, staring at Della’s hair. Della tells him that she did it in order to buy a proper Christmas present for him. Jim snaps out of his shock, hugs Della, and throws a package on the table. He explains that no haircut could make him love her any less, but that he was surprised because of the present that he bought for her. Della opens the package to find expensive tortoiseshell combs for her long hair. She’s ecstatic for a moment before she begins crying, and Jim has to comfort her. Suddenly, Della remembers her present to Jim, and asks to see Jim’s watch so that she could put the new chain on it. Jim sits back on the couch and smiles, then admits that he sold his watch in order to buy the combs. The narrator wraps up the story by describing the magi who invented the art of giving Christmas presents. He compares Della and Jim to these wise men, and concludes that of all those who give gifts, these two are the wisest. 7. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage ?
