听力原文:M: Juliet, you chose not to go to college. Why? Was it about money?
W: Well. I don't want to sit here to say I was too poor to go to college. But the fact is that we didn't have the money, though my mum probably could have made enough somehow. I probably could have worked harder at school and gotten better grades, so, it is really I didn't get to go to college. I had a wish to go to school every other week. It wasn't just my path.
M: At the time did you feel that you were missing something?
W: My best friend went off to university and I just remember every time I talk to her. It all sounded so fun and so great. Here I was Selling 10 shoes and getting on the bus every day to work in town. We both thought the other's life was so much more exciting. I was trying hard to make enough to pay for my own flat every two months and that seemed so exciting to her. And she would talk about studying for finals, and going to parties. and I thought, God, she is so perfect.
Why did the woman not go to college?
A.She didn't pass the exam.
B.She wasn't interested in college.
C.She couldn't afford college education.

Somewhere on the South Coast
England
Dear Mum and Dad,
It was a great idea to send me over to Britain to learn English this summer! I've met so many students from Sweden, France and all over the world. And there are lots of students from Germany here too. It's just like being at home. What a relief to find normal people, even in England, and to speak in a normal language most of the time.
Of course, we do have English lessons in the day, and I have to talk to the family I stay with here. Do you know, some of my friends have said they won't go out with us in the evening any more—they want to speak English and find English friends. I think they're mad. The family I live with are very nice. But they have some strange habits. They drink tea all day: at breakfast, in the afternoon and at bedtime. And they eat butter with salt in it! If I go out in the evening, I often eat fish and chips. The food is wrapped up in a news paper; at least reading the paper takes your mind off the fish and chips! Here at the coast, we travel by bus. The buses are always late. I was knocked down by an old lady the other day because I didn't stand in the queue. English people seem very quiet and reserved, so I was very surprised to see how violent they become about queues. Also, if you ask them directions, they suddenly become very chatty and go on for hours.
I'd like to come back here next year to see all my friends again—oh yes, and to learn some more English...
Your loving son,
Hans

Sleepless at night
It was a normal summer night Humidity (湿气) hung in the thick air
I couldn't go to sleep, partly because of my cold and partly because of my expectations for the next day My mum had said that tomorrow was going to be a surprise
Sweat stuck to my aching body Finally, I gathered enough strength to sit up I looked out of my small window into the night there was a big bright moon hanging in tile sky, giving off a magic light
I couldn't stand the pressure anymore, so I did what I always do to make myself feel better I went to the bathroom and picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste I cleaned my teeth as if there was no tomorrow Back and forth, up and down
Then I walked downstairs to look for some signs of movement, some life Gladiator,
my cat, frightened me as he meowed (喵喵地唱着) his sad song, He was on the old
orange couch (长沙发), sitting up on his front legs, waiting for something to happen He looked at me as if to say, "I'm lonely, pet me I need a good hug (紧抱)" Even the couch begged me to sit on it
In one movement I settled down onto the soft couch This couch represented my parents' marriage,-my birth, and hundreds of other little events
As I held Gladiator, my heart started beating heavily My mind was flooded with questions: What's life? Am I really alive? Are you listening to me? Every time I moved my hand Clown Gladiator's body, I had a new thought; each touch sang a different song
I forgot all about the heat and the next day's surprise The atmosphere was so full of warmth and silence that i sank into its arms Falling asleep with the big cat in my arms I felt all my worries slowly move away
