听力原文: At least 22 people have been killed and dozens of others are missing as massive flooding is swamping parts of Turkey. Officials say the high waters have caused at least one home to collapse and they add hundreds have been left stranded in factories and in their homes. The deadliest incident took place in the southeastern pan of the country where a flash flood swept away a minibus carrying family members to a wedding. 14 people were killed in that incident. Officials are now trying to get tents, fuel, kitchens and rescue personnel to the hardest hit areas. Police officers and military troops as well as helicopters are being dispatched to search for the missing. There is no tally yet on how much damage the flooding has done. However, officials say they will know much more once the water recedes.
Which of the following statements about the flood is TRUE?
A.Twenty-two people have been killed in the flood.
B.In the deadliest incident, fourteen people were killed.
C.Dozens of people have been left stranded in factories,
D.There were no police officers hurt in the rescuing work,
Now, taking books, or anything else, from a little girl is like taking candy from a baby, but the father of the little girl had his way and Robert got two of her books. "After all, that leaves you with nine", said the father, who thought he was a philosopher and a child psychologist, and couldn't shut his big stupid mouth on the subject.
A few weeks later, the father went to his library to look up "father" in the Oxford English Dictionary, to feast his eyes on(饱眼福) the praise of fatherhood through the centuries, but he couldn't find volume F~G and then he discovered that three others were missing, too—A~B, L~M, V~Z. He began to search his household, and learned what had happened to the four missing volumes.
"A man came to the door this morning", said his little daughter, "and he didn't know how to get from here to Torrington, or from Torrington to Winsted, and he was a nice man, much nicer than Robert, and so I gave him four of your books. After all, there are thirteen volumes in the Oxford English Dictionary, and that leaves you with nine".
How does the writer feel about taking picture books from a little girl?
A.This sort of thing is quite common.
B.It makes no difference to a child.
C.It is nothing to be surprised at.
D.It may hurt the girl's feelings.

M: Yes, I am calling about the computer I bought from you last month. There are some problems with it now. The disk drive does not work properly. Last Sunday, it failed to work from time to time. I called your Service Department last week and they had it repaired. But today, it stopped working completely. What's worse, it damaged one of my favorite disks. I just have no idea what to do with it.
F: OK. I think I need some information before we find out what the problem is. What model do you have?

F: And how much did you pay for that?
M: It was $620 originally, but it was on sale then. So I got it at $570.
F: OK. What we are going to do now is to transfer you to the Service Department and see if they can have a second look at it.
M: I don't think I have time for that. I have an appointment.
F: Then would you like them to call you back?
M: OK. How about late tonight?

F: Oh ... hello, Mr. Harvey, what can I do for you?

F: Can you tell me what the main problem is, Mr. Harvey?
M: I don't think that it's anything major. It just seems that the quality of the printouts could be better.
