W: So far, I've just taken the written test. I did well enough on that, but I still have to take the road test.
M: I remember when I took the road test a few years ago. The first time I took it, I failed.
W: You failed! But you're such a good driver! What happened？
M: Well, I took a left - hand turn from the right lane, and the examiner told me just to turn around and go back to the testing center. It was pretty embarrassing.
W: My big problem is parallel parking. I just can't seem to get a car into those little spaces.
M: If you like, we can go out in my car before you take the road test and practise parallel parking.
W: That would be great. I've just got to get my license. I can't believe that I have a car that my parents gave me just sitting in my garage, and I can't even drive it.

听力原文：M: Are you close to your parents？
W: Yeah, we're close. My father and I have always been close. Sometimes my mom and I don't really see eye to eye. What about you？
M: Well, I think my parents definitely don't understand me. My mother always says I'm perfect while my father often criticizes me for doing things wrong.
W: That's interesting. Do you think that's just a generational thing？
M: Well, I don't know. My parents grew up in the 60's. But they didn't seem to know much about their times.
W: So they were kept away from all the big social activities？
M: Yeah. They grew up in a small town and neither of them knew anything about politics, even though my father's father was a local judge and lawyer.
W: My parents grew up in the 60's too, but my dad taught physics at the university and my mom ran a small bookstore in town. I guess they were the kind of people who were open to current events.
M: I'm jealous. Sometimes I feel a lot more educated than my parents, which is fine, but also uncomfortable at times.
W: I can imagine.
M: They just don't understand some things. They haven't experienced life in the same way I have.
W: You mean the traveling you've done？
M: Yeah. My dad thinks I ran away from home because I hated him or something ridiculous like that. I just wanted to see the world.
W: I told my dad once that I'd find a way to study in America and then live there forever.
M: My dad always tells me that I'd be really homesick if I studied at a European university.
W: And then you have to remind him that Europe is only 10 hours away by plane.
(20)
A．Different family backgrounds.
B．The generation gap.
C．Traveling and studying overseas.
D．Different interests and hobbies.

听力原文：M: Hey, Karen, you are not really reading it, are you？
W: Pardon？
M: The book! You haven't turned the page in the last ten minutes.
W: No, Jim, I suppose I haven't. I need to get through it though, but I keep drifting away.
M: So it doesn't really hold your interest？
W: No, not really. I wouldn't bother with it, to be honest, but I have to read it for a seminar. I'm at the university.
M: It's a labor of labor then rather than a labor of love.
W: I should say. I don't like Dickens at all, really, the author indeed I'm starting to like the whole course less and less.
M: It's not just the book. It's the course as well？
W: Yeah, in a way, although the course itself isn't really that bad. A lot of it is pretty good in fact, and the lecture is fine. It's me, I suppose. You see, I want to do Philosophy rather than English, but my parents talk me out of it.
M: So the course is OK as such, it's just that had it been left to you, you would have chosen a different one.
W: Oh, they had my best interest at heart of course, my parents, they always do, don't they？ They believe that my job prospects would have been pretty limited with the degree in Philosophy, plus, they give me a really generous allowance, but I am beginning to feel that I'm wasting my time and their money. They would be so disappointed though if I told them I was quitting.
(26)
A．She is worried about the seminar.
B．The man keeps interrupting her.
C．She finds it too hard.
D．She lacks interest in it.

听力原文： When my son Ryan saw a T-shirt on sale for 5 dollars marked down from 8, he told me, "We'll save 3 dollars (32)if we buy it now. " He looked at me in surprise when I answered, "We'll save 5 dollars if we don't hay it at all. "
Today's children get lots of messages and values from television and from friends. They are encouraged to buy things they don't need. (33)What they need is an understanding of the value of the dollar. How do children learn the important facts of life？ Most schools do not teach them. It is up to parents to help their children.
To learn about money children need to have some. Early on, parents often handed oat money on an as-needed basis. But experts say paying certain amount of money each week is the best way to teach children the meaning of money, how to use it and how to plan.
But how much should the parents give？ Some experts suggest giving one dollar for each year of age, but (34)Dr. Olivia Mellan disagrees: " I think 5 dollars a week is too much for a 5-year-old, and 15 dollars is probably not enough for a 15-year-old." What's right depends on three things: the child's level of development, how much you can give, and what you expect him to pay for.
However much you give them, children will soon feel they need more. But Sharon M. Danes, a professor at the University of Minnesota, insists that children don't need a raise each year. "There's no lesson to be learned when children expect an increase just because they are a year older," she says. (35)"What they should learn is how to be good money earners, savers and spenders."
(33)
A．To save 3 dollars.
B．To buy it at once.
C．To ask 3 dollars from the parent.
D．To save 5 dollars.

第10题
Should A Kid Be Guided to Tell a White Lie？
It's my family's tradition to exchange girls on Christmas Eve. Before we did so, I whispered to my uncle and his wife, "Just want you to know: I think what I got you is really cool, so just tell me you like it, no matter what, okay？"
I know that sounds rude, but there's another Christmas custom in my family: we give each other weird gifts.
There is a sweet reason for this. My grandparents grew up during the Depression, and there were years when they had no gifts at all. So my grandmother and her siblings(兄弟姐妹) would gift-wrap their old socks and clothes, just so they had something to open on Christmas. Pretend presents were better than none at all.
My grandmother never really got over those early years, so, for the rest of her life, she went a little crazy at the holidays. She'd start buying gifts in October. It didn't matter what it was. Socks, toothbrushes, used paperbacks she'd read but didn't like, all went under the tree. Contents of catalog "mystery boxes" meant we spent another hour unwrapping presents. One of my more memorable gifts: a single piece of clear plastic labeled "face shield." I was apparently to hold it in front of my eyes when I used hair spray.
We all thanked Grandma greatly no matter what we got. As a little kid, this pattern of gratitude for the terrible presents puzzled me; it took a long time for me to understand it was all right to laugh at some of her gifts. Now I don't really know if my aunt and uncle actually liked the gift I gave them. They said they did, but since I coached them to tell me they love it, I'll never really know if that was the truth.
All of these make me think of the work of McGill professor Victoria Talwar. As an expert in children's lying behavior, Talwar has been studying how kids respond to unwanted gifts. When they get a gift they hate, can they still thank someone and pretend to love it？
Talwar tests kids' ability to do this, by asking kids to pick a toy they want; if they win a game, they get the chosen toy. There are plastic horses, a small car, a few other items, including an unwrapped, dirty, worn, used bar of soap. At some point in the game, there's a switch in the adults who play with the kids. So, instead of giving the child her chosen toy, the late-arriving adult gives the child the soap.
Then, the researchers watch what happens. 68% of kids, aged 3 to 11, will spontaneously say they love the gift of old ugly soap. The older they are, the more likely they are to say a white lie about the gift. And if parents encourage the children to say how much they like the present, the percentage of kids lying about the gift increases to 87%.
At this point, some may be saying that a white lie isn't a lie. That's because you are looking at lying from the adult perspective--that lies are acceptable, when told with the intent of helping someone, or protecting another's feelings. But kids don't think of lying in the same way. For them, the intent behind a lie--for good or for ill--is irrelevant. It is so irrelevant that, for very young kids, you can't even lie by accident. Someone who gives out wrong information, but believed it to be true, is still a liar in these kids' book.
Kids just don't believe that lying comes in shades of white or gray. Lying is much simpler than that: lying is telling somebody something that isn't so; lying is really bad; and lying gets you punished. And if it gets you punished, you shouldn't do it. In Talwar's lab, parents have literally cheered to hear their kids lie about how great it is to have received the old soap. The parents have pride over their children's knowing the socially appropriate response.
Talwar's regularly amazed by this. The parents never even seem to realize that the child told a lie. They never want to scold the child afterwards,
A．They earned money to buy gifts for each other.
B．They made pretend presents with old things.
C．They started buying gifts in October.
D．They gave each other weird gifts.
