听力原文： Now about the news. An early morning fire damaged the historic Gallad House today. It destroyed the third floor of the building but fire fighters saved the first and second floors. There were only a few elderly people living in the building at the time and they were carried out to safety. The Galled House was built in 1718 and was used as a hotel for over 150 years. George Washington stayed here in 1782. The Galled family owned the building until the 1930s. Then they sold it to the Muss family. Five years ago it was made into a building for the elderly. Several fire departments were called to the scene. When we asked Fire Chief Andrew Bond how the fire started, he answered that it was most likely a burning cigarette caused it. Chief Bond promised to further examine into the cause.
Where did the fire probably start？
A．On the first floor．
B．On the second floor．
C．On the third floor.

Types of risks
So far we have used the term "risk" rather loosely. One type of risk is default risk, that is, the risk that the borrower will simply not repay the loan, due to either dishonesty or plain inability to do so. Another type of risk, called purchasing - power risk, is the risk that, due to an unexpectedly high inflation rate, the future interest payments, and the principal of the loan when finally repaid, will have less purchasing power than the lender anticipated at the time the loan was made. A similar risk is faced by borrowers. A borrower may cheerfully agree to pay, say, 15 percent interest, expecting that a 12 percent inflation rate will reduce the real value of the loan. But inflation may be only 4 percent.
A third type of risk is called "interest - rate risk" or "market risk", that is, the risk that the market value of a security will fall because interest rates will rise. We will discuss this further later; here we just present the intuitive idea. Suppose that five years ago you bought a ten-year 1 000 bond carrying a 6 percent interest rate, and tile interest rate now obtainable on similar bonds also have five years to go until they mature is 8 percent. Would anyone pay 1 000 for your bond？ Surely not, because they could earn 80 per year by buying a new bond, and only 60 per year by buying your bond. Hence, to sell your bond you would have to reduce its price. But suppose the bond, instead of having five years to maturity, would mature in, say, ninety days, what would its price be then？ It would still be less than 1 000 since the buyer would get 6 percent instead of 8 percent interest for ninety days; but since getting a lower interest sell for only ninety days does not involve much of a loss, the bond would sell for something close to 1 000. Hence, while holding any security with a fixed interest rate involves some interest - rate risk, the closer to maturity a security is, the lower is this risk. On the other hand, if interest rates fall you gain because your bond is worth more; and the longer the time until the bond matures, the greater is your gain. But the fact that you may gain as well as lose does not mean that you are taking no risk.
Diversification
All three types of risks are relevant for deciding what assets to include in a portfolio, and what debts to have outstanding. (The term portfolio means the collection of assets one owns.) Anyone holding more than one type of asset has to consider not the risk of each asset taken by itself, but the totality of the risk on various assets and debts jointly. Suppose someone holds stock in a company that is likely to gain from inflation. The riskiness of a portfolio that combines both of these stocks may be less than the riskiness of each stock taken separately. A port- folio consisting of assets that are affected in opposite directions by given future events is less risky than are the assets that compose it when taken individually. Hence a low-risk portfolio need not contain only assets that individually have little risk; sometimes one reduces the riskiness of a portfolio by adding some high - risk assets that offset the risks of other assets in it.
For Paragraph 1 choose the summary which you think best expresses the main idea.
A．The existence of inflation produces purchasing - power risk.
B．Purchasing - power risk involves a loss in the value of money loaned or borrowed be- cause of higher or lower inflation than expected.
C．Purchasing - power risk produced by an inflation higher than expected affects lenders only.

Elephants have a complex social structure and they live in26societies. The basic family unit is formed of small groups of adult females， who are 27 each other， and their young of both sexes. Now the females remain in their families for life， they"re highly social， but male elephants leave their families at about fourteen years of age. They travel alone or stay together in small，28 groups with other males，29 joining a family on a temporary basis. When males are ready to mate they wander widely， searching for 30 females. The family unit， on the other hand， often contains three generations， and it can remain stable for decades， or even centuries. Then each family 31 between one and five other families， probably consisting of their more distant relatives. Scientists call these groups of families "bond groups"， and bond groups belong，32， to even larger groups， called clans. And like other social animals they have to be able to communicate. But what baffled early33was their ability to communicate over long distances. So they set about researching this question. After years of observation and study， our understanding of elephant communication has increased considerably in recent years. However， even with the use of radio tracking collars， it"s technically difficult to 34 the functions of long-range communication. So although scientists are aware that elephants may know the whereabouts， and possibly the activities of other elephants that are several miles away，there may be a lot of subtle， long-range35which are still not evident.

What is it about a dog's gaze that makes it so charming？ A new study by Japanese scientist Miho Nagasawa seems to have found the answer, and it has to do with something called the cuddle(爱抚)chemical.
The cuddle chemical has another, more scientific name: oxytocin.Oxytocin is a substance in the blood that encourages bonding.Levels of oxytocin increase, for example, when a mother feeds her newborn baby.According to Nagasawa's study, the same is true when we look deeply into the eyes of a dog.
The results of this study can tell us a lot about the history of the bond between humans and dogs.It all started somewhere tens of thousands of years ago.Scientists believe that wolves used to follow humans who were hunting large animals.The wolves would eat the food left behind by the humans.
Humans realized that they could use the wolves to help with the hunt, and eventually both species began to work together toward survival.
Over time, the wolves that interacted with the humans began to change.They became more loyal to their human partners.The wolves and humans started to depend on each other and bond with each other.These changes are what caused some of the wolves to turn into what we now know as dogs, a new specie evolved to better survive in their environment.
This process depended a great deal on the bond humans formed with them.And according to Nagasawa's study, this bond was formed with the help of oxytocin, the cuddle chemical.

A.It regulates blood flow
B.It promotes bonding

B.guard against large animals
C.take humans for food
D.hunt large animals together
14.Over time some wolves turned into dogs ____.

B.due to the changing environment
C.for better survival
D.for better cooperation
15.What does Nagasawa9s study aim to do？()
A.Explore the role of human-wolf partnership
B.Show the characteristics of the cuddle chemical
C.Explain the bond between humans and dogs
D.Understand the evolution of species
