听力原文： Mark Twain travelled quite a lot. Usually financial circumstances forced him to. He was born in Florida in 1835, and moved to Hannibal, Missouri with his family when he was about four years old. Most people think he was born in Hannibal. But that isn't true. After his father died when he was about twelve, Twain worked in Hannibal for a short time and then left, so that he could earn more money. He worked for a while as a typesetter. And then he got a job as a fiver pilot on the Mississippi.Twain loved this job and many of his books show it. The river job didn't last, however, because of the outbreak of the Civil War. Twain was in the confederate army for just two weeks. And then he and his whole company went west to get away from the war and the army. In the west, he became a successful writer. Once that happened Twain travelled around the country giving lectures and earning enough money to go to Europe. Twain didn't travel much in the last ten years of his life and he didn't publish much.

听力原文： Mark Twain, who wrote the story we're reading, traveled quite a lot, often because circumstances, usually financial circumstances forced him to. He was born in Florida Missouri in 1835 and moved to Hannibal Missouri with his family when he was about four years old. Most people think he was born in Hannibal. But that isn't true. After his father died when he was about twelve, Twain worked in Hannibal for a while and then left so he could earn more money.
He worked for a while as a typesetter on various newspapers and then got a job as a river pilot on the Mississippi. Twain loved this job and many of his books show it. The river job didn't last however, because of the outbreak of the civil war. Twain was in the army for just two weeks and then he and his whole company went west to get away from the war and the army. In Nevada and California Twain tried to find silver and gold without much luck but did succccd as a writer.
Once that happened, Twain traveled around the country giving lectures and earning enough money to go to Europe. Twain didn't travel much during the last ten years of his life, and he didn't publish much either. Somehow his travels inspired his writing. Like many other popular writers, Twain derived much of the materials for his writing from the wealth of his own personal experiences.

Bill Bryson
I was born in the U.K., but I have written several travel books about China. I lived in Beijing with my wife and four children for 20 years, but for the last three years we have lived in London. Our children are now learning about life in the U.K. I'm sure they will be happier because they have lived in two countries. I like China and I want to return, but my daughter, Felicity, is going to start college here soon, so it won't be for another four years.
I have just been to China for six weeks to work on a radio programme about the English language and also to talk about the book I've just written. Most writers don't like doing this; they don't like travelling around the country, selling their book. I don't mind it. I like visiting new places and meeting lots of people. It's very different from the life I have in the U.K. when I'm writing. In China, people treated me very kindly. They provided me with nice hotels. I didn't have to pay any bills. Everyone was kind to me and it was fun.
Bill returned to the U.K. after living in Beijing for a long time.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Doesn't say

He wrote the outline, and then rewrote it, under the direction of a producer who was also the wife of the managing producer. He followed her instructions strictly and, when he finished, waited anxiously to hear if he would be hired to write up the story. One usually gets this news very quickly, because hour-long television shows in a series (连续剧) are produced at the rate of one every eight days, and producers start running out of stories after the first few weeks of the season. So, accepted outlines are rushed to the next stage. Strangely, however, he heard nothing.
Finally, Edward was called to a meeting at the program's production office. The producer under whom he had been working was not there, nor was the managing producer, but the rest of the writers gathered around in a circle. Edward was expecting their opinions and advice. Had he failed to make the story moving enough？ Was it still hard to understand？
One producer who was present finally spoke," Ozzie and Harriet are having problems with their marriage."
Edward didn't understand.
The managing producer had decided to separate from his wife, the producer who had asked Edward to write the outline. Naturally, be didn't want anything to do with stories she had developed. Thousands of dollars had been spent on the outline. Still it was dropped.
What should be done by Edward first？
A．He should write the story clearly.
B．He should write an outline to the story.
C．He should make the television shows.
D．He should wait for the news from the producer.

W: Yes, sure.
M: Could you tell me when you became interested in gardening？
W: Well, I was always interested in wild flowers and then in 1980 I read Margery Fish's book Cottage Garden Flowers, which is full of practical advice and personal opinions. But I was reading about plants that I didn't know, so I started to read as much as I could and get different writers' advice. I also used to visit Kew Gardens a lot. That was when we lived in Harrow, West London. I learned a lot from my visit. By the way, Dorset is one of England's three most beautiful towns, the other two being Wiltshire and Somerset. You must know what. I'm often invited to give talks to biology students in college.
M: Yes, certainly. That's why I came here. Now what was your first garden like？
W: It was a very tiny piece of land, which came with my house in Harrow, West London.
M: Do you grow many plants yourself？
W: I don't grow many plants from seeds. But I have several friends and we often give each other plants. My garden is a place which often reminds me of so many people through the plants they've given me.
What was the purpose of Mrs. Whinfield's visits to Kew Gardens？
A．To learn more about plants.
B．To write an article on gardens.
C．To meet the writers whose books she read.

"Furthermore, I had the background. I grew up in an athletic family: Three boys and three girls and a coach for a dad. '
Soon after describing her ambition to a co-worker, the editor of her paper reassigned Joan to the sports department.
Today, Joan is the sports columnist for the San Francisco Examiner in California. When she landed her job eight years ago, she was the only woman sports writer on any major American newspaper. (She is now one in about six.)
Was it tough to pioneer as a female sports writer？ You bet ! Take for example, the first time Joan tried to get an interview in the men' s locker room. "It was the U. S. Football League. I wanted to interview one of the players, Joe Cribbs, because he had just broken a finger. As soon as I stepped into the locker room--where all sports writers interview athletes--the room went crazy. Guys started yelling at me. It was really terrible. Suddenly I felt something move up my leg. It was the handle of the razor (剃刀) that someone used to cut the tape. I yelled and walked out."
Joan ended up interviewing Cribbs--outside the locker room. "In retrospect (回顾), I feel this was a defining moment for me as a journalist. I went back and wrote my story and made my headline. Now I know for sure that nothing can interfere with getting the story."
If you want to be a sports writer, Joan suggests that you read "the best fiction writers" and learn how to write well. Her other suggestions: "Don' t let anyone keep you from doing what you want to do. Just pretend you have courage."
The term "You bet" in Line 1 of Paragraph 5 can be best replaced by ______.
A．Not at all.
B．It depends.
C．Absolutely.
D．Hard to say.

听力原文：W: I often read two newspapers. Washington Post and The Sun. What about you？
M: I will buy the newspaper whose headlines catch my eyes in the front page. Do you buy the two newspapers everyday？
W: Yes, that way I'm sure not to miss any of my favorite sections. Doesn't the size of tile daily paper surprise you？
M: Yes, it certainly does. The newspaper staff—the reporters, writers, editors, and linotype operators—must be busy continuously. They need a large circulation to support such a staff, don't they？
W: I'm sure they do. Of course, much of a newspaper's income comes from advertisements.
M: That's true. I try to read the whole paper, don't you？
W: No. I just read the parts that interest me. I glance at the headlines, but I read the sports page and the business section carefully. Do you read those？
M: No, but I do read the editorials and the news section. You saw the article about the earthquake in Japan, didn't you？
W: Yes. That was a terrible disaster. Do you think newspapers should print stories like that？
M: Certainly they should! They're part of the news of the day and people want to know about them. Don't you agree？
W: Yes, I suppose disasters are news, too. It seems to me that newspapers would be more pleasant to read if they had a large society section and more comic strips. Don't you like to read articles about celebrations and happy events？
M: Yes, I enjoy reading them. But since you don't like to read unhappy news, why do you subscribe to two news papers？ If I were you, I wouldn't read a newspaper at all.

A．Newspaper of low price.
B．Newspaper with attractive headline.
