0 In the village where I grew up, everyone knew an old man
00 who spent all of his time with painting. People who lived in the
village used to be admire his work and he often gave paintings
to friends of his. If they offered him money, he would never
take it because he said he painted for a pleasure. He gave one of
the paintings to my father, who actually wasn't very interested
in art. One day when I was playing, I came across from it in the
bin outside our house. I have hid it in our garage where my father
couldn't find it because I really would liked it, and then I forgot
all about it. Since years later I found it again. By that time the
old man had been died and people had started to recognise his
paintings as great works of art. They were now worth a lot of
money. An art gallery made me an offer of £5,000 for this
painting and I nearly sold it, but then I decided not to do. When
I look at the painting held hanging on the wall of my sitting-room,
it reminds to me of my childhood, and of the man who could
have been so much rich but didn't really want to make money.

SECTION A CONVERSATIONS
Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文:Jill: What are your own origins? When and where were you born?
Bryant: I was born in 1969, sometime between the moon landing and the birth of the Internet.
Jill: What kind of family did you come out of? Where were you raised?
Bryant: I grew up in a poor, single-parent family in North Babylon, New York, out on Long Island. Oldest of two kids, but ninth of eleven if you count all the half-brothers, half-sisters, step-brothers and step-sisters.
Jill: How would you describe your childhood?
Bryant: I spent most of my childhood reading, drawing, playing stick-ball and stoop ball. I didn’t watch much television since our TV was an ancient black and white that had, over the years, begun to show only green and white images. The most memorable thing about TV then was that the set generated so much heat that I didn't want to watch it in the summer.
Jill: When did you start to study art?
Bryant: In high school, juniors and seniors had an option to attend a trade school for half the school day. When I found out they offered a commercial art program, I jumped at it.
Jill: What made you make the decision?
Bryant: I had heard that commercial artists made good money.

Businessmen can travel from London to New York in three hours and lots of people exceed the seventy-mile-per-hour speed limit on motorways. A person of 75 is not old these days. A serious illness does not mean certain death because there have been so many advances in medical science. We no longer need to be afraid of contracting diseases like polio or smallpox. I can speak to my son in Australia from my own sitting room here in Manchester, watch athletes running a race on the other side of the world without moving from my own home and I can even do my shopping while I sit here in an armchair. I never need to worry about food going bad in the warm weather and, at the flick of a switch, I can have a hot meal in a couple of minutes. So, it seems, the quality of life has greatly improved since my own childhood.
I'm not convinced, however, that people are happier today than they were 50 years ago. We are certainly materially better off than we were but most people still seem to be weighed down by problems. My daughter and her family are a good illustration. They have a spacious, comfortable home with every labor-saving device you can think of. There's a washing machine, a clothes dryer, a food processor, a vacuum cleaner and all sorts of other household items which are designed to save time but it seems to me that my daughter and her husband just spend all that "saved" time working! They never relax and are always complaining of being tired and "stressed".
What is the passage mainly about?
A.How life has improved.
B.How life has become worse.
C.A comparison of life now and that in the past.
D.Memory of life in the past.
