A man approached his neighbor, who was seven months pregnant, and said, “If you name your son after my father, I will pay you $MathJax200 per month for three years.” The neighbor agreed and named her child after the man’s father. Afterwards, the man reneged on his promise and told his neighbor that he had decided not to pay her the money. The neighbor sued the man for breach of contract. The judgment should be made in favor of whom? A、 The neighbor, because there was a bargained-for-exchange. B、 The neighbor, because the neighbor’s promise to name the child after the man’s father was a condition of a gift made in consideration of carrying out a moral obligation. C、 The man, because the man’s promise to pay the neighbor was merely a promise for a gift unsupported by consideration. D、 The man, because the neighbor did not experience any recognizable detriment in the naming her child.
The jewellery designer
He was young and completely unknown, but Paul Waterhouse believed in himself. He'd heard that there was going to be a large exhibition for jewellery designers and he asked the organisers whether he could show some of his work. 'I was only 21,' he says, 'and they agreed, if I could show a complete collection.' So he went to the bank, borrowed £1,500 for materials, and began to work on new designs. 'The exhibition was fantastic. Although everyone else was much more experienced than I was, my designs were still praised.'
He decided to transfer his business to Canada and began to experiment with new materials: all sorts of stones from around the world, some totally new to him. 'As most of them weren't precious, it changed the way I approached design. It was great! I was able to produce much larger pieces of modern jewellery,' he says. 'Then I was asked by an advertising agency to design a wedding ring for a TV advert. The agency liked what I'd done, but their client, a car manufacturer, wanted something a little more traditional. I was happy to make changes and that work gave me a lot of free publicity.'
At the start of his career, Paul felt confident.

Dear Mr. La,
I have been approached by a Mr. Lincoln Harris, presently an economist with the Florida Sugar Corporation, who has asked me to recommend him for graduate study at your institution. As I consider him to be very well-qualified, I am very pleased to comply with his request.
In 2001, he jointed this Corporation as an Assistant Economist to help determine optimum sugar production levels. As he was very dedicated to his work and efficient, he was promoted to the position of Financial Analyst in 2004. Besides having an unusual ability to supervise our computerized operations, he has also demonstrated a high level of managerial expertise. As a person, he is very cooperative and assiduous.
Without hesitation, I should like to say that I am confident that he possesses the necessary prerequisites to be a successful graduate student at your university.
Sincerely yours,
Philip Martin

For most women, the language of conversations is【B6】a language of rapport: a way of establishing connections and【B7】relationships. Emphasis is【B8】on displaying similarities and【B9】experiences. From childhood, girls criticize peers who try to stand【B10】or appear better than others. People feel their closest connections at home, or in setting where they feel at home—with one or a few people they feel close【B11】and comfortable about—in other words, during private speaking.【B12】even the most public situations can be approached like private speaking.
For most men, talk is primarily a means to【B13】independence and negotiate and【B14】status in a hierarchical social order. This is done by exhibiting knowledge and skill, and by【B15】center stage through verbal performance such as storytelling, joking, or【B16】information. From childhood; men learn to use talking as a way to get and keep【B17】. So they are more【B18】speaking in larger groups made up of people they know less well, in the broadest【B19】"public speaking". But even the most private situations can be approached like public speaking, more like giving a report than【B20】rapport.

听力原文:W: Wake up, Frank, time to rise.
M: Ha, oh, hi, Jane, I must have fallen asleep while I was reading.
W: You and everyone else. It looks more like a campground than a library.
M: Well, the dorm's too noisy to study in, and I find this place is quiet.
W: Have you had any luck finding a topic for your paper?
M: No. Professor White told us to write about anything in cultural anthropology. I wish she had not given us so much of a choice.
W: Well, why not write about the ancient civilizations of Mexico. You seem to be interested in that part of the world.
M: I am, but there is too much material to cover. I'll be writing forever, and White only wants five to seven pages.
W: So then limit it to one region of Mexico, Say the Uka town. You've been there and you said it's got lots of interesting relics.
M: That's not a bad idea. I brought many books and things back with me last summer, that would be great resource material, now if I can only remember where I put them.

A.Chatting with his friends.
B.Sleeping.
C.Reading.
