M: In just three weeks, and I am excited. I have been longing for the trip. But there are still a few things needed to be done before I go.
M: I must have my passport renewed and go to the travel agency to confirm something about the time schedule of the trip and the plane ticket. (23)But the trouble is how to do with my apartment while I am gone.
W: You are not going to give it up, are you？
M: (24)No way, I’ll never find another apartment around here, but I don’t like the idea of paying three months rent on an empty apartment, either.
W: I don't blame you. Perhaps you could rent it to someone else.
M: Yes, but to whom？
W: Mm, let me see, Oh, I know, an old colleague of mine, Jim Thomas, who is coming here to do some research this summer, from June to August.
M: That's exactly when I'll be away. (25)It sounds ideal, as long as the landlord agrees.
W: Yeah, you may first tell the landlord. I'll be calling Jim late this week anyway, so I'll mention it to him then.
M: Well, thanks, Bill. Let me know what happens.

Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to "push back", just as city people do in Tokyo, Beirut, or Sao Paulo, for example. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kind and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be. If you need help or want to ask a question, choose a friendly looking person and say, "I am a stranger here. Can you help me？" Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find your way or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help, otherwise they are unlikely to help. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or discouraged; just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.
The writer intends to tell you something about ______.
A．city life in America
B．the fast pace in big cities in America
C．foreigners first arriving in the U. S.
D．Americans attitude towards foreigners

听力原文： Mary did not like getting up early in the morning. If her sister did not wake her, she would be late often for her classes. One day a lecture was going to be given By a famous artist at nine o'clock. Her sister and brother-in-law were away. She set her alarm for half past seven. This should give her plenty of time to get ready and arrive early enough for a good seat. She was determined to be there in time. She would never forgive herself for missing the lecture. She had been admiring the artist's work since she was a child.
The next morning, she slept through the alarm and woke up at half past eight. She was not used to rushing and everything went wrong. At last, she was ready, and rushed out to catch a bus. She jumped on the first one. She looked at her watch, but it was not there. She must have forgotten to put it on in her rush. When she arrived at the university, she hurried to the lecture hall. She was astonished to find that the doors were locked. She looked round to find someone, and saw a clock which said half past seven, "I can't understand it!" she cried out. "Nobody's here and the clock is slow!" Then she suddenly remembered. Her alarm clock had stopped the day before and she must have forgotten to reset the hands. "This is the first time I'll hear the beginning of a lecture," she said to herself, laughing.

W: Let me guess. Your room's been given to someone else？
M: Yes.
W: I don't get it! They sent me my room number a long time ago.
M: Me too. Well, at least there is room in another dorm, Bundy Hall.
W: That's where they're putting me too. But you'll realize that unless you have a car, Bundy is at least 25 minutes' walk from the center of campus. And don't count on taking the campus bus. It runs at really inconvenient times.
M: Great way to start your college career. But, I don't know, maybe there is a positive side of all this. Since we'll be so far away from everything, we'll be forced to use our time wisely.
W: True. I've heard lots of first year students get into trouble because they hang out every day in the student center till it closes.
M: Exactly! And not only that, we will get plenty of exercise from all that extra walking.
W: Yeah. And that is not exactly easy walking either. Around here you just need a pair of hiking boots, and to enjoy mountain climbing.
(23)

B．Their dorm rooms have been given to other students.
C．They can't find their dormitory.
D．They've missed the bus to their dormitory.

听力原文：M: Hello？
W: Hello, Debbi. This is Frank. I’m in a bit of a crisis.
M: What happened ？
W: I'm here at the station and my train leaves in twenty minutes. The problem is my suitcase is missing and all my important documents are in it. What am I going to do？
M: Where did you put it？
W: I took it out of the trunk of my taxi and left it on the sidewalls. Then I paid the driver. But when I turned around my suitcase had disappeared.
M: Oh that's unfortunate. Um...
W: There was another suitcase the same color on the sidewalk. I think someone must have got mine. I didn't have my name on mine and there's no name on this one either. What do you think I should do？
M: Well, I think the best thing to do is to go to the Railway Information desk and report this to the people there and leave the case with them. With any luck the other person will find out that he's taken the wrong case and will get in touch with Railway Information too. You should tell them to send your suitcase when it's found. Call me again before you leave to tell me what's happened. I can chase the railway people for you if necessary.
(12)

B．He left his suitcase in the trunk of a taxi.
C．Someone stole his suitcase at the railway station.
D．He lost all his important documents including his train ticket.

To Err Is Human
Everyone must have had at least one personal experience with a computer error by this time. Bank balances are suddenly reported to have jumped from $ 379 into the millions, appeals for charitable contributions are mailed over and over to people with crazy sounding names at your address, department stores send the wrong bills, utility companies write that they're turning everything off, that sort of thing. If you manage to get in touch with someone and complain, you then get instantaneously typed, guilty letters from the same computer, saying, "Our computer was in error, and an adjustment is being made in your account."
These are supposed to be the sheerest, blindest accidents. Mistakes are not believed to be the normal behavior. of a good machine. If things go wrong, it must be a personal, human error, the result of fingering, tampering a button getting stuck, someone hitting the wrong key. The computer, at its normal best, is infallible.
I wonder whether this can be true. After all, the whole point of computers is that they represent an extension of the human brain, vastly improved upon but nonetheless human, superhuman maybe. A good computer can think clearly and quickly enough to beat you at chess, and some of them have even been programmed to write obscure verse. They can do anything we can do, and more besides.
It is not yet known whether a computer has its own consciousness, and it would be hard to find out about this. When you walk into one of those great balls now built for the huge machines, and standing listening, it is easy to imagine that the faint, distant noise are the sound of thinking, and the turning of the spools gives them the look of wild creatures rolling their eyes in the effort to concentrate, choking with information. But real thinking, and dreaming, are other matters. On the other hand, the evidence of something like an unconscious, equivalent to ours, are all around, in every mail. As extensions of the human brain, they have been constructed the same property of error, spontaneous, uncontrolled, and rich in possibilities.
The title of the writing "To Err Is Human" implies that ______.
A．making mistakes is confined only to human beings
B．every human being cannot avoid making mistakes
C．all human beings are always making mistakes
D．every human being is born to make bad mistakes
