听力原文: Andrew Carnegie was born in Dunermline, Scotland, on November 25, 1855. The son

of a weaver, he came with his family to the United States in 1848 and settled in Allegheny, Pennsylvania. At age thirteen, Carnegie went to work as a bobbin boy in a cotton mill. He then moved rapidly through a succession of jobs with Western Union and the Pennsylvania Railroad. In 1865, he resigned to establish his own business enterprises and eventually organized the Carnegie Steel Company, which launched the steel industry in Pittsburgh. At age sixty-five, he sold the company to J. P. Morgan for $ 480 million and devoted the rest of his life to his philanthropic activities and writing, including his autobiography.

Many persons of wealth have contributed to charity, but Carnegie was perhaps the first to state publicly that the rich have a moral obligation to give away their fortunes. In 1889 he wrote The Gospel of Wealth, in which he asserted that all personal wealth beyond that required to supply the needs of one's family should be regarded as a trust fund to be administered for the benefit of the community. During his lifetime, Carnegie gave away over $ 350 million. He died in Lenox, Massachusetts, on August 11,1919.

What is the passage mainly about?

A.Carnegie's career.

B.Carnegie's contribution.

C.Carnegie's life.

D.Carnegie's fortune.

听力原文:Now about the news. An early morning fire damaged the historic Gallad House today

听力原文: Now about the news. An early morning fire damaged the historic Gallad House today. It destroyed the third floor of the building but fire fighters saved the first and second floors. There were only a few elderly people living in the building at the time and they were carried out to safety. The Galled House was built in 1718 and was used as a hotel for over 150 years. George Washington stayed here in 1782. The Galled family owned the building until the 1930s. Then they sold it to the Muss family. Five years ago it was made into a building for the elderly. Several fire departments were called to the scene. When we asked Fire Chief Andrew Bond how the fire started, he answered that it was most likely a burning cigarette caused it. Chief Bond promised to further examine into the cause.

Where did the fire probably start?

A.On the first floor.

B.On the second floor.

C.On the third floor.
