Smuggling
It is not unusual for a pet to be sent by air cargo from Columbia to New York, but last December's shipment of a 4-year-old sheep dog caught a New York Kennedy Airport Customs inspector's eye. The dog looked to be on its last legs, and there was an unusual lump on the side of its body. An X-ray and emergency surgery revealed the presence of 10 condoms tightly packed with five pounds of cocaine that had been surgically implanted in the dog's abdomen - yet another first for Customs in the war on drugs.
When it comes to transporting drags, the methods used are only as limited as a smuggler's imagination. Kilo bricks of cocaine are routinely concealed beneath false bottoms of containers that hold poisonous snakes. "You've got snakes that are 12 feet long," says a United States Fish and Wildlife Service agent - and sometimes the drag is in the snake. "Who's going to pull it out and feel it?"
In 1994, United States Customs seized 204,391 pounds of cocaine, 559,286 pounds of marijuana and 2,577 pounds of heroin. Just how much actually flows into the country is anyone's guess. Some Customs officials estimate that only 10 percent of the drugs coming into the country are ever seized. In Miami, the District Attorney won't even prosecute small fry. "It's got to be over five kilos of cocaine, above a kilo of heroin and more than 5,000 pounds of marijuana or it's not something that we're going to stop the presses on," says Tom Cash, a retired agent.
Given this deluge, one can only wonder if agents are ever confounded by some of the smuggling methods. "There are things we haven't seen before," says John McGhee, a Miami Customs special agent, "but nothing really surprises us."

A.it could stand only on its hind legs.
B.it had only two legs.

听力原文:M: I heard that you have the most unusual hobby. Would you like to share?
W: Well, nothing special. Collecting socks is my favorite one.
M: Wow! Really?
W: Collecting socks is not simply doing the collection, you know. You could even clip it to the shapes you like. Be creative!
M: That sounds really cool! What do you do with those socks?
W: It is really relaxing! Usually, I divide my collection into three categories. The original ones, the altered ones, and the combined ones. And you can create hundreds of craftwork from it.
M: It seems like something scholarly!
W: No making fun of me. I am not kidding.
M: I am sorry, but don't you think it is a waste of time to do so?
W: As a matter of fact, it is my cheapest and most rewarding recreation. Then what do you do in your spare time?
M: Hard to say. I would really love to have a hobby, but I've got very tight schedule, and breaking it would be a great damage to my career. You know, for me, time is money. Time is life!
W: Of course, time is life. But if you spend your time like that, it would really damage your life not your career. And you mean you don't have any recreations? That sounds unbelievable!
M: Well, I watch TV every night, and I learned a lot from it.
W: But that is not recreation. You just sit there and stare at the TV. It would even make you more bored and tired.
M: You are right. But everybody has his own unique preference of recreation. And I feel quite content with mine.

A.Knitting socks.

We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First, this includes an awareness (意识) of our surroundings. It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture (质地), as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression, "There is nothing new under the sun. The creativity is remaking or recombining (组) the old in new ways." For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results. To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.
These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses, but they are also included in many of our day to day activities.
Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to the passage?
A.To prepare for a meal.
B.To arrange the furniture in a special way.
C.To buy some books from a bookstore.
D.To "write" a letter with the computer.
