Fourteen-year-old Kimberly Mays fits neither description, but her recent court victory could eventually help children who do. Kimberly has been the object of an angry custody battle between the man who raised her and her biological parents, with whom she has never lived. A Florida judge ruled that the teenager can remain with the only father she's ever known and that her biological parents have "no legal claim" on her.
The ruling, though it may yet be reversed, sets aside the principle that biology is the primary determinant of parentage. That's an important development, one that's long overdue.
Shortly after birth in December 1978, Kimberly Mays and another infant were mistakenly switched and sent home with the wrong parents. Kimberly's biological parents, Ernest and Regina Twigg, received a child who died of a heart disease in 1988, Medical tests showed that the child wasn't the Twiggs' own daughter, but Kimberly was, thus sparking a custody battle with Robert Mays. In 1989, the two families agreed that Mr. Mays would maintain custody with the Twiggs getting visiting rights. Those rights were ended when Mr. Mays decided that Kimberly was being harmed.
The decision to leave Kimberly with Mr. Mays rendered her suit debated. But the judge made clear that Kimberly did have standing to sue(起诉) on her own behalf. Thus he made clear that she was more than just property to be handled as adults saw fit.
Certainly, the biological link between parent and child is fundamental. But biological parents aren't always preferable to adoptive ones, and biological parentage does not convey an absolute ownership that cancels all the rights of children.
What was the primary consideration in the Florida judge's ruling?
A.The biological link.
B.The traditional practice.
C.The child's benefits.
D.The parents' feelings.

W: It's all right! And OK with you?
M: Yeah, but you look a little upset today. Anything wrong?
W: (19) Oh, I've got a problem with my daughter Christina. She's seventeen now. And next year she'll go to college. (20) But all in her mind are only fashions and boys but learning.
M: Sally, it's quite normal for girls of Christina's age to focus on the opposite sex and fashions alike. We used to be young, right?

W: That's the headache! (21) I've signed up for a language training session for her already. Anyway, she has to work hard by herself.
M: (22) Why not talk everything with her teacher in school? It will help!
W: Great idea! I've never thought about that. I'll take it to her teacher tomorrow. Thank you!

听力原文: For 25 years, I was a full-time thief, specializing in picking pockets. Where I come from in southeast London, that's an honorable profession. Anyone can break into a house and steal things. But picking somebody's pocket takes skill. My sister and I were among the most successful pickpocket teams in London. We worked hotel and theatre lobbies, airports, shopping centers and restaurants. Now we don't steal anymore, but this crime is world-wide. Here is how to protect yourself:
Professional pickpockets do not see victims, only handbags, jewels and money. Mothers with babies, the elderly, the disabled are all fair game. My preferred target was the lone female, handbag at her side, the right side to be exact. So if I'm next to her I(an reach it cautiously with my right hand across my body. Only about one woman in a thousand carries her bag on the left, and I tended to steer clear of them. Women whose bags are hanging in front of them are tricky for the pickpocket, as there isn't a blind side. If you want to make it even harder, use a bag with handles rather than a strap. For men, one of the best places to keep a wallet is in the back pocket of tight trousers. You'll feel any attempts to move it. Another good place is in the buttoned-up inside pocket of a jacket. There's just no way in. Even better, keep wallets attached to a cord or chain that is fasten to a belt.
A pickpocket needs targets who are relaxed and off guard. The perfect setting is clothing store. When customs wander among the racks, they are completely absorbed in the items they hold up. The presence of a uniformed security guard is even better. A false sense of security makes a pickpocket's job much simpler.

A.It's admired worldwide.
B.It takes skill.
C.It pays well.
D.It's a full-time job.

听力原文: M: It looks like there is going to be a shower any minute now.
W: I think so too. Isn’t it strange how you can sense it?
M: I know what you mean.
W: Look at the clouds in the sky. Whenever they seems dark and low like this, you know it’s going to rain. Or look at the object that’s far away. If it seems clear to you, it’s going to pour.
M: Yes. And everything seems to have a strange smell to me then.
W: I know. And people often say it’s going to rain when they have aches and pains in certain parts of their body. My mother always complains that her knee hurts just before a storm.
M: And have you ever noticed how the animals act before a storm?
W: Sure. Horses and cows always seem to go to a protected area and huddle together.
M: Yeah. But with all these sensible signs, how can we carry an umbrella with us now?
What is the main topic of the conversation?
A.How to select a good umbrella.
B.How to treat minor aches and pains.
