听力原文: At a certain time in our lives we consider every place as the possible sites for a house. I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, one after another, and I knew their prices.
The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place. But before the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just what I gave for it.
The real attraction of the Hollowell farm to me was its position, being about two miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded on one side by the river, and separated from the highway by a wide field. The poor condition of the house and fences showed that it hadn't been used for some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apple trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said.
I was not really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden, but I don't think I was ready for a large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted. It makes but little difference whether you own a farm or not.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What do we know about the speaker?
27. Why did the speaker decide to buy the Hollowell place?
28. Why did the speaker want to buy the farm in a hurry?
29. What does the speaker believe as important in life?
(33)
A.He made money by buying and selling farms.
B.He made a study of many farms before buying.
C.He had the money to buy the best farm in the country.
D.He wanted to buy the oldest farm near where he lived.

Then he discovered that an old friend of his was one of the members of the jury at his trial. Of course, he didn't tell anybody, but he managed to see his friend secretly one day. He said to him, "Karl, I know that the jury will find me guilty. I cannot hope to be found not guilty of taking the money—that would be too much to expect. But I should be grateful to you for the rest of my life if you could persuade the other members of the jury to add a strong recommendation for mercy to their statement that they consider me guilty."
"Well, Larry," answered Karl, "I shall certainly try to do what I can for you as an old friend, but of course I cannot promise anything. The other eleven people of the jury look terribly strong-minded to me."
Larry said that he would quite understand if Karl was not able to do anything for him, and thanked him warmly for agreeing to help.
The trial went on and in the end the jury found Larry guilty, with a strong recommendation for mercy, as Larry had wished. Of course Larry was very pleased. When some time after the trial Karl went to visit him in prison, Larry thanked him warmly and asked Karl how he managed to persuade the other members of the jury to recommend mercy.
"Well, Larry," Karl answered, "as I thought, those eleven people were very difficult to persuade, but I managed it in the end by tiring them out. Do you know, those fools had all wanted to find you not guilty!"
Which phrase best defines a "jury"?
A.A person who works in a court.
B.A policeman.
C.A judge.
D.A group of people who decide if someone on trial is guilty or not guilty.

第二节 短文理解1
阅读下面短文,从[A](Right)、[B](Wrong)、[C](Doesn't Say)三个判断中选择一个正确选项。
Jo was the most popular boy in the school. He was tall and strong, with dark brown haft and green eyes and the sweetest smile. He was good at all sports and he was top of his class.
There was keen competition among the girls to attract his attention. Yet, Jo was nice to all of them, even the plain, shy ones but he didn't have a steady girlfriend.
Ella was the only one who didn't seem to have any romantic interest in him; she treated him friendly and the others didn't consider her as rival. But she knew him very well. Jo and Ella were the best friends. They talked about their problems, exchanged ideas, gave advice to each other and played jokes on each other occasionally.
One day, Jo didn't go to school. He stayed away for a week, then the news came: his mother had died.
When he went back to school, he looked fired and sad, like someone who walks without knowing where he's going. No one knew what to say to him. The easy smile and superficial chat couldn't reach him any more. When he met Ella, they didn't say much. There was no need to. She simply shook hands with him, then hugged him briefly and asked him to go and see her in the afternoon.
It all started right then.
Jo was the best student in class.
A.Right.
B.Wrong.
C.Doesn't say.

“For the next thirteen years I took 28 pills a day,had horrible side effects,and even with all those pills I still had lots of shaking and tremors(颤抖).I only went out during peak times,when I was looking and feeling my best.But that wasn’t often and I really couldn’t do much of anything.I felt like the life I loved was over,”said Wayne.
Then Wayne’s doctor in Green Bay suggested he consider a breakthrough surgical option being offered at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin called Deep Brain Stimulation(刺激)(DBS).DBS is a surgical option used to treat disabling movement disorders related to Parkinson’s disease,essential tremor and more.It is not a cure,but significant improvement is seen in most movement disorder cases,with relatively low risk to the patient.
In addition to his doctor’s recommendation,Wayne had a neighbor and fishing friend who had the DBS procedure at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin.His friend’s experience convinced Wayne that the 180-mile trip from his home in Crivitz,Wisconsin could be well worth the effort.
And was it ever.
“It was the best thing I ever did.I’m down to zero pills a day and I don’t shake at all,”reports Wayne.“Before the surgery,I felt bad every single day.Now I feel like my old self.I’m back to business as usual,which for me means fishing,fishing,and more fishing,every day of the year.Things just couldn’t be any better!”
第11题:Before getting Parkinson’s disease,Wayne loved
A.social activities.
B.outdoor activities.
C.productive activities.
D.quiet activities.

Job or money?
Would you quit your job if you didn’t need the money?In a 1990 poll by the Gallop Organization,many people said quitting work was an imprtant reason to be rich.Yet researchers find that work is one of life’s chief satisfactions for people.
Consider W.Berry Fowler.In 1979,Fowler started a tutoring company that became so successful he was able to sell out and retire in 1978一a multimillionaire at 40. He bought a 50-foot cabin cruiser(可住宿的游艇)and a house in Hawaii,and busied himself vacationing.
But after five years of perpetual vacation,nower began to miss the challenges of work.So in 1992,he bought a fitness chain for children and now spends 75 hours a week immersed in balance sheets and staff meetings.“My best days on the golf course weren’t half as much fun as a good day at the office.”he says.
A job,studies show,is more than a paycheck.Doing something Well can increase confidence and self—worth.When sociologist H.Ray Kaplan surveyed 139 lottery(彩票)millionaires,he discovered 60 percent continued working at least a year after they’d won.
If jobs are so important,wouldn’t salary size be a gauge(标准尺)of job satisfaction?Americans think so.A survey conducted last year by Roper Starch Worldwide,Inc.,found that almost 70 percent of the respondents said they would be happier if their families had twice as much household income.Yet studies show that job satisfaction comes less from how much people earn than from the challenge of their jobs and the control they are able to exert.work that doesn’t engage a person will never seem rewarding,no matter how lucative(有理可图的)it becomes.
第 8 题 The Gallop poll shows many people want to be rich in order not to work.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
第8题
A. realize
B. consider
C. attach
D. catch

I did not get what I wanted when I did not ask for it. We had cubicle(小隔间)offices and window offices. I sat in the cubicles with several male colleagues. One by one they were moved into window offices, while I remained in the cubicles, several males who were hired after me also went to offices. One in particular told me he was next in line for an office and that it had been part of his negotiations for the job. I guess they thought me content to stay in the cubicles since I did not voice my opinion either way.
It would be nice if we all received automatic pay increases equal to our merit, but "nice" isn't a quality attributed to most organizations. If you feel you deserve a significant raise in pay, you'll probably have to ask for it.
Performance is your best bargaining chip(筹码)when you are seeking a raise. You must be able to demonstrate that you deserve a raise. Timing is also a good bargaining chip. If you can give your boss something he or she needs(a new client or a sizable contract, for example )just before merit pay decisions are being made, you are more likely to get the raise you want.
Use information as a bargaining chip too. Find out what you are worth on the open market. What will someone else pay for your services?
Go into the negotiations prepared to place your chips on the table at the appropriate time and prepared to use communication style. to guide the direction of the interaction.
According to the passage, before taking a job, a person should ______.
A.demonstrate his capability
B.give his boss a good impression
C.ask for as much money as he can
D.ask for the salary he hopes to get
