听力原文:W: What're you going to do tonight?

Man: I don't want to park on the street. Isn't there a garage at the hotel?
Woman: Yes, I think there is, but there's a charge for parking there, and I'm sure it isn't cheap. But go ahead and put your car there if you want.

听力原文:W: Wow, what a beautiful sunset.
M: Enjoy it while it lasts. The sun won't be around forever, you know.
W: You mean one day the sun will disappear?
M: Not exactly disappear, but the sun will eventually burn out and die.
W: Won't that make things really cold down here?
M: Actually, there won't be any here. When the sun dies, the earth will be destroyed too.
W: Whoa, hold on. Start from the beginning.
M: Ok. Like all stars the sun is basically a giant nuclear reactor that burns hydrogen to create energy. But like any reactor, the sun needs fuel to keep going. It's been going strong for around 4. 5 billion years, and will probably keep burning for about five billion more.
W: But then the fuel will run out.
M: Exactly. And when it does, gravity will cause the sun's core to contract. When it contracts, the core will get hotter, which will heat up the sun's upper layers and make them expand. The sun will then become what's called a red giant, and its radius will reach just past the orbit of Venus.
W: Which is bad for us.
M: We'll be burned to a crisp.
W: Sounds painful.
M: After a few billion years, the core will begin to cool and expand. The sun's upper layers will expand and lose material, and eventually the core will cool enough to become a white dwarf star, and finally a black dwarf.
W: So we're pretty much doomed.
M: Yes, but not for billions of years. Who knows? By then humans might be living on another planet. Or we'll have been enslaved by a bunch of dirty apes!
W: I think someone's been watching too much cable TV.

Passage One
The law says that women should have the chance of doing the same jobs as men and earn the same as them.
The reality is very different.Women lose because, 25 years after the Equal Pay Act,many of them still get paid less than men.
They lose because they do lower-paid jobs which men just won't consider.And they lose because they are the ones who interrupt a career to have children.
All this is reported in an independent study ordered by the Government's Women's Unite.
The biggest problem isn't equal pay in workplaces such as factories.It is a sort of work women do.Make a list of the low-paid jobs, then consider who do them.
Try nurses, secretaries, cleaners, clerks, teachers in primary schools, dinner ladies,and child care helpers. Not a lot of men among that group, are there?
Yet some of those jobs are really important.Surely no one would deny that about nurses and teachers, for a start.
So why do we reward the people who do them so poorly? There can be only one answer—because they are women.
This is not going to be put right overnight. But the Government which employs a lot of them, and other bosses have to make a start.
It is disgraceful(可耻的) that we have gone into the 21st century but still treat women as second-class citizens.
Women should have the chance of doing the same jobs and be paid equally as Men().
A. after 25 years
B. according to the law
C. as a result of the Equal Pay Act
D. because women are as strong as men
