Re: Thermostat located in your office
It has come to our attention that the thermostat located in your office is frequently being turned off. Please be aware that although this thermostat is located in your office, it actually controls the temperature on the entire second floor. When it is turned off, it affects not only your office, but all the surrounding offices as well. We ask that you not touch the thermostat. The other second floor tenants are complaining about the lack of heat in their offices.
If you wish to adjust the temperature in your office at any time, please speak with me or with one of my assistants. We would be happy to help you create an environment that is comfortable for you and your office staff, but please remember that we need to consider the comfort of everyone in the building. Thank you for your cooperation.
What is the problem？
A．Someone keeps turning off the thermostat.
B．There is no thermostat on the second floor.
C．The other tenants want a thermostat.
D．The second floor has enough heat.
听力原文： China's economy showed unexpected strength in the second quarter as industrial output and investment remained robust despite government attempts to engineer a slowdown, data on Wednesday showed.
China's gross domestic product in the second quarter grew 9.5 per cent from a year earlier, above market estimates for a 9.3 percent rise. It was the eighth straight quarter of annual growth over 9 percent.
Many economists, pointing to falling oil demand and weaker steel and property prices, had expected a moderate slowdown in growth for the second quarter and the rest of the year.
"The need for slowing the economy is still quite obvious, 'although there are people arguing there will be some adjustment corning through automatically as company margins are being squeezed," said Yiping Huang, a Citigroup economist in Hong Kong.
"There are still some problems in the economy that policy makers need to address," he added.
Wednesday's data showed growth still being fueled by an export boom, a sensitive political issue between China and the United States.
The strength of the economy may reinforce the conviction of critics in Washington and elsewhere that the yuan's peg of 8.28 to the dollar is un fairly low, but analysts discerned no new trends in the data to add urgency to the currency reform. debate.
"This data shouldn't have any implications for a yuan revaluation. That's another story," said Yasuo Sone, an economist with Nomura Inter national in Hong Kong.
A ______rise of industrial output had been expected of the second quarter.
A．8%
B．9%
C．9.3%
D．9.5%
Originally the White House was gray and was called the Presidential Palace. It was built from 1792 to 1800. At this time, the city of Washington itself was being built. It was to be the nation's new capital city. George Washington, the first President, and Pierre Charles L'Enfant, a French engineer, chose the place for the new city. L'Enfant then planned the city. The President's home was an important part of the plan.
A contest was held to pick a design for the President's home. An architect named James Hoban won. He designed a large three-story house of gray stone.
President Washington never lived in the Presidential Palace. The first President to live there was John Adams, the second President of the United States, and his wife. Mrs. Adams did not really like her new house. In her letters, she often complained about the cold. Fifty fireplaces were not enough to keep the house warm.
In 1812 the United States and Britain went to war. In 1814 the British invaded Washington. They burned many buildings, including the Presidential Palace.
After the war James Hoban, the original architect, partially rebuilt the President's home. To cover the marks of the fire, the building was painted white. Before long it became known as the White House.
The White House is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States. Every year more than 1. 5 million visitors go through the five rooms that are open to the public.

听力原文： Different kinds of writing achieve different purposes. On the basis of controlling purpose we traditionally divide all prose into three categories: narration, description and exposition. Of these, exposition is especially important to the college student since much of what he reads, and most of what he writes, is expository prose. Exposition is writing that explains. In general, it answers the questions how and why. If we go into any university library, most of the books we find on the shelves are examples of exposition. Philosophies, histories, literary essays, theories of economics, studies of government and law, the findings of sociology, the investigations of science—all these, however different, have for their purpose to explain. It is the most common kind of writing, the sort with which we conduct our workaday affairs—the business letter, the doctor's case study, the lawyer's brief, the engineer's report and so on.
On paper, the writing of exposition begins with paragraphs. Within each paragraph, the writer shapes and develops a single unit of thought. Generally, paragraphs of exposition contain two different kinds of statements. The first—a general, rather abstract statement—is called a topic sentence. The second class of statements consists of particular facts, examples, illustrations and supporting details. Most often the topic sentence stands first in the paragraph unless one or two sentences of transition go before.
