听力原文: An "early bird" used to be a person who was awake early and began his(or her) day's work before other people. The people, who said it, were thinking of an old saying: It is the early bird that catches the worm. But since 1965 the Early Bird has had a different meaning. The modem Early Bird is a communications satellite in orbit round the earth.
The use of wires to carry telephone communications and for other purposes of the same kind does not satisfy modem needs. We had to use radio. But the radio waves that we use for these purposes--microwaves--travel in straight lines. They do not follow the curve of the earth's surface. We can send them from one radio station to another—a relay station--where we amplify them and send them do a third station. If there is no relay station within about 50 kilometers to receive the microwaves, they will continue into space. At a certain height, some of them are sent back to earth. A powerful station several hundred kilometers from their starting point can receive them. But these are not good ways of sending the thousands of telephone, radio and television signals across the oceans.

听力原文: One day, Mr. Lock received a visit from a salesman representing Bargain Electrics Ltd, who persuaded him to buy an electric drill for $ 60. He told Mr. Lock that if he sent a $15 deposit, they could send him the drill on a two-week home trial. If, after that time, he didn't want to keep the drill, he should send it back and his deposit would be refunded. The salesman assured Mr. Lock that ha was under no obligation to buy the drill if he didn't like it.
Mr. Lock sent his deposit and received the drill a few days later. But when he tried it out he found it didn't work, and the same afternoon his wife saw exactly the same drill in a local shop for only $ 50. So he sent the drill back to Bargain Electrics with a letter. In the letter he explained that he didn't want the drill because it didn't work.
Instead of getting his deposit hack, as he expected, Mr. Lock got a letter from Bargain Electrics in which they claimed that he had broken the drill by using it wrongly, and that he still owed them $45.

听力原文: One day in 1848, a carpenter named Marshall, who worked in a sawmill on the American River in California, made a surprising discovery. He noticed something bright and yellow, bent down to pick it up and took it to his friend, a Mr. Sutter. This was the beginning of the Californian Gold Rush. Sutter was a Swiss who had come to America to try to make a lot of money. The Governor of California had given him permission to make a home in the Sacramento Valley and his determination and energy had made him rich. He had built the mill together with Marshall in order to make use of the rich natural materials of his land.
Sutter realized the importance of the discovery and decided to ask the Governor for the right to the gold. So he sent a man named Bennet to San Francisco to see the Governor. He warned Bennet not to tell anyone because he was afraid that people would come before his right was recognized. Bennet could not keep the secret but people did not believe him at first. Then a newspaperman went to Sutter's mill to make a report. When he came back he ran through the streets shouting, "Gold! Gold!" Within a month almost the entire population had gone to look for the gold.
Then news spread across America to Europe and thousands of people joined in the search. Those who went by ship had to sail round Cape Horn but some preferred to go across America by land, and freight cars were used for travelers. Even then there were some who were prepared to cross the terrible desert of Death Valley.
The Gold Rush proved to be fatal to Sutter himself. For years he tried to get rid of those new-comers so that his family might enjoy the wealth of his land, but his business failed. The new-comers did a great deal of harm, and even killed one of his sons, and at the end of his life he was a poor man who often stopped people in the street to tell them that gold was worse than anything else.
Who was the first to find the gold in California?
A.Sutter.
B.Marshall.
C.Bennet.
D.A newspaperman.
