After having assured their return journey,
the writer and his companion could concentrate
on collecting and film animals. Deciding to 【M1】______
enlist the help the local Indians, they made
their way to a nearby village, in which proved 【M2】______
to be a few dilapidated huts in a pleasant
valley. The Indians they found there worn 【M3】______
remnants of European clothes and had
obviously abandoned their traditional way
of life. They kept a few disease chickens 【M4】______
and skinny cattle instead of hunting for
their meat. The writer' s companion explained
that they were looking for birds and mammals,
particular armadillos, for which they would 【M5】______
pay well. Anyone who could show them inhabited
nests and holes, they have said, would be 【M6】______
well rewarded. The Indians were apathetic
and uncooperative. Noticing the absence of
biting insects, the writer asked whether
they had ever troubled by them, to which 【M7】______
the Indians replied by slowly shaking their
heads. The writer recognized that he 【M8】______
considered that having to live in such a hot,
humid atmosphere would no doubt have 【M9】______
made him lethargic too. The headman explained
the inconvenience of the villagers had, for
severe weeks previously, been contemplating 【M10】______
cutting down a particular tree and until a
decision on this matter was reached, no other
activity could possibly be considered.

Fairy Tales for All the World
This year, the world is marking the 200th anniversary of Danish author Hans Christian Andersen with a wide range of events.
Andersen's tales have attracted millions of readers for more than a century. They continue to be among the best-known works of world literature. "The Ugly Duckling (小鸭)" and "The Little Mermaid (美人鱼)" are among the most famous.
He was born on April 2, 1805, in the slums of Odense, Denmark. His father was a shoemaker and his mother worked as a washer-woman. Andersen received very little education, but his fascination with fairy tales inspired him to; compose his own stories and arrange puppet (木偶) shows.
His father died when he was 11. He was forced to go to work, first as an apprentice to a weaver and tailor and then in a tobacco factory. At the age of 14, he moved to Copenhagen to try a career as a singer, dancer and actor. He sang in a boy's choir (合唱团) , but he made very little money. He also tried the ballet, but his awkwardness made this impossible.
Finally, when he was 17, Jonas Collin, a director of the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen discovered Andersen. After hearing Andersen read a play, Collin realized that he had talent. And he got money from the king for Andersen's education.
In 1828, Andersen passed the entrance examinations to the university in Copenhagen. His writings were firs': published in 1829. In 1833, he received grant money for travel, which he used to visit Germany, France, Switzerland, and Italy. These journeys were recorded in his travelogues (旅行见闻). In 1835, Andersen published "Fairy Tales for Children," which contained four short stories. He eventually wrote around 168 fairy tales. They achieved success in his life-time and were widely published and translated.
Unhappiness also found its way into many of his tales which were not meant merely for children but for adults as well. He used very simple language and style. to disguise the moral teachings of his tales.
Andersen also wrote novels, plays and poems. He died at his home in Rolighed on August 4, 1875.
Andersen died on April 4, 1875.

听力原文: Each day we all make many choices; most of these choices are small—what to wear, what to eat etc. still there are many important choices that we make in life—which university to attend, what to study, whom to marry, etc. Sometimes we may become tired of making choices, but we always know that we will continue to make them as long as we live, because that is better than having them made for us. We may sometimes ask for advice about a choice we must make, but ultimately most of the decisions as to which choices are best will be made by ourselves, both important and unimportant. We also know that we will undoubtedly have to suffer that consequences of making poor choices and that we will often rejoice in the many fortunate choices we make.
Many writers have written about choices throughout our lives such as Boris Pasternak etc. One of the most popular and beloved poems in the English language has "choice" as its subject matter. In this poem, "The Road Not Taken", Robert Frost describes walking along a path through the woods and coming to a fork in the path. He must choose which fork to take, that is, which way to go, knowing that he will probably never be able to come back and try the other way. He ends his poem by "I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference". This poem is seen as a metaphor for the important choices in life which do, indeed, make "all the difference". In Frost's case, the choice is often interpreted as his choice of career, to take the risk of becoming a poet, knowing that thousands of poets never really succeed.
(33)
A.Because it is difficult to make choices.
B.Because it is necessary for us to live.
C.Because others make us to do so.
D.Because making choice is better than having choices made for us.
