听力原文： At a certain time in our lives we consider every place as the possible sites for a house. I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, one after another, and I knew their prices.
The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place. But before the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just what I gave for it.
The real attraction of the Hollowell farm to me was its position, being about two miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded on one side by the river, and separated from the highway by a wide field. The poor condition of the house and fences showed that it hadn't been used for some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apple trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said.
I was not really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden, but I don't think I was ready for a large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted. It makes but little difference whether you own a farm or not.

第9题
W: Yes, I have to leave the office right after my meeting with the managers, but I am a bit worried because the highway is under construction until this weekend. I hope the traffic doesn't get too congested.
M: I think you'd better take the local road instead because it took me more than 2 hours to get to work this morning. The five-lane highway has been reduced to two lanes, and the traffic is a killer out there.
W: If that's the case, I think I'll just leave my car here and take the subway there. I am sure the local road is not going to be any better with the Christmas parade on Main Street. I just can't afford to miss the plane today. The meeting is just too important.

A．To close a business deal.
B．To take part in a Christmas parade.
C．To meet a possible business partner.
D．To enjoy some time off work.
