听力原文: Many African mothers carry babies on their back. In this way, a working mother knows that her baby is safe on her back while her hands are free for her work. On the other hand, the baby stays in close contact with his mother and feels safe and warm. However, back-nesting is not suitable in summer. Besides, (29) back-nesting does not give babies freedom and chance to use their hands and legs. Children need to observe and explore the environment. What's more, this sense of security given by back-nesting may be suddenly broken when the child can no longer be carried. He may be put down and expected to behave like a grown-up child. (30) But he has been over protected for so long that now he feels very insecure and many behave like a baby. Once I visited a friend's home, where the mother was carrying her eleven-month-old son on her back. I found the mother had nothing special to do with her hands and the baby was restless. I asked her to put the baby down. At first, (31 ) she didn't want to because she firmly believed that if she carried the baby on her back, he could sleep longer, keep quieter and make less mess. I tried my best to persuade her and finally she gave in. Immediately the child began examining the toy drum before him. He looked much live her and happier.
(30)
A.It is not safe for the children.
B.The children can not communicate with mothers face to face.
C.The mothers may feel very tired.
D.The children have no chance to use hands and legs.

听力原文: When I was walking down the street the other day, I happened to notice a small brown leather wallet lying on the sidewalk. I picked it up and opened it to see if I could find out the owner's name. There was nothing in side it except some change and an old photograph -- a picture of a woman and a young girl about twelve years old, who looked like the woman's daughter. I put the photograph back and' took the wallet to the police station. That evening I went to have dinner with my aunt and uncle. They had also invited a young woman so that there would be four people at the table. Her face was familiar. I was quite sure that we had not met before, but I couldn't remember where I had seen her. In the course of the conversation, however, the young woman happened to mention that she had lost her wallet that afternoon. All at once I realized where I had seen her. She was the young girl in the photograph, although she was now much older. She was very surprised, of course, when I was able to describe her wallet to her. Then I explained that I had recognized her from the photograph I had found in the wallet. My uncle insisted on going to the police station immediately to claim the wallet. As the-police sergeant handed it over. he said that it was amazing that I had not only found the wallet, but also the person who had lost it.
(33)
A.Because he wanted to find some money.
B.Because he wanted to find the owner's name.
C.Because he wanted to find the owner's photograph.
D.Because he was curious about what was inside it.

听力原文:M: Do you know what happened to me today? I was so embarrassed.
W: What?
M: Well, Dr. Brown's class finished ten minutes early, so I went to the library between classes. I knew I didn't have much time, but I wanted to get those books on the Industrial Revolution. I looked them up in the card catalog and went right to the stacks and found them. So t put them in my book bag and headed back toward the door. Then it happened. The exit gate in front of the door wouldn't open, and a guard immediately, warned me that I hadn't checked out my books. He thought I was trying to steal them.
W: That must have been embarrassing. But why didn't the exit gate open?
M: I asked them that. It seems the books in the library are all magnetically coded, and when you check them out, the librarian behind the desk demagnetizes them, then the exit gate will open.
W: How interesting! I still don't quite understand how they do it, though. I'll have to go to the library and see it for myself.

A.One of his classes finished early.
B.His books were ten days overdue.

Almost immediately, he told me, a request was delivered from people who liked it better the old way. "They collected 750 signatures against the change," he recalled, "so I said OK, I'll put it back." He put it back. Another request arrived. This one carried 1,500 names of angry residents protesting the reversion (复原); they had liked it better the new way.
"Were some of the names the same?" I asked, joking.
He shrugged. "Sure," he replied.
Venice. The mere name makes people think of its astonishing 1,500 years, an incomparable heritage of art, polities, and commerce. Ten million visitors a year arrive to wonder at the remains of its glory, the architecture and paintings, and to be seduced (诱使) by the dreamlike charm of a place that seems to exist somehow apart from real life, a kind of baroque (巴罗克式的) style, floating in mist and shadow, entranced by the continual murmur of the water as it never get tired of kissing the stones.
But Venice is not a dream. In these days it is facing more than its share of reality. In fact, as the event of the bus requests demonstrated yet again, Venice at heart is a classic small town, trapped in the body of a monument.
To begin with, Venice actually is small. You could walk from one end to the other in an hour. And you will walk, because the streets are usually the size of an average sidewalk, or less. Walking, as much as the surrounding water, dictates the shape of Venetian life: the reasonable pace, the sudden street corner encounters with friends, the pause to talk. Among the many things the Venetians love about their town—no ears, virtually no crime—this intimacy is the best. They like to say their city is like a living room.
Is Venice still sinking? This is the question everybody outside Venice seems to ask. In a word, yes, though the rate has slowed, mainly because the pumping of groundwater for industries on the mainland has been stopped.

1. Try to be objective. When Sol was criticized by his new employer for not having made a sale, Sol’s reaction was to feel sorry for himself. "I had put everything I had into making that sale," Sol says," and I felt that I had failed as a person. I had to learn through experience not to react like that to each failure."
2. Take time to cool down. Rather than reacting immediately to criticism, take some time to think over what was said. Your first question should be whether the criticism is fair from the other person's position. The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it.
3. Take positive action. After you cool down, consider what you can do about the situation. The best answer may be "nothing". "I finally realized that my boss was having personal problems and taking them out on me because I was there," says Sheila. "His criticisms didn't really have anything to do with my work, so nothing I said or did was going to change them." In Sheila's ease, the best way to deal with it was to leave her job. 'However, that's an extreme reaction. You may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in-depth discussion. You may even decide that the baffle isn't worth fighting this time. The key, in any case, is to have a reasonable plan.
