听力原文: The engine of Margaret's car was not running smoothly. The spark plugs needed cleaning. Margaret could have done the job herself, but garages have special equipment that does such things very thoroughly.
Like her father, Margaret did not like being overcharged. She knew that garages do this sometimes. Sometimes they even charge for work they have never done. She told the repairman at the garage not to do any extra work, she wanted the spark plugs cleaned, and nothing more. Then she left, saying she would be back in a little while.
When Margaret came back, the repairman handed her a bill for £ 10. Margaret knew this was more than it should cost to have the spark plugs cleaned. Then the repairman said he had put new ones in. Margaret decided she was not going to stand for this, and began to get angry.
"But the plugs were worn out; what else could I do?" the repairman protested. "How long should these new spark plugs last? More than a few months?" Margaret demanded. "Of come! Much longer than that!" The repairman said with great emphasis.
"Well, then, put the old ones back in. I had new spark plugs put in only a few months ago, and 1 had the job done here!" Margaret said.

A.Do extra work if necessary.
B.Change the spark plugs only.

W: Well, only on weekends.
M: I want to talk to the manager.

Some of the stories are inspiring, others sad, but what is interesting in almost all the cases is the way in which the children's early hopes and dreams are shown in their future lives. For example, at seven, Tony is a lively child who says he wants to become a sportsman or a taxi driver. When he grows up, he goes on to do both. How about Nicki? She says," I'd like to find out about the moon." And she goes on to become a space scientist. As a child, soft-spoken Bruce says he wants to help "poor children" and ends up teaching in India.
But if the lives of all the children had followed this pattern the program would be far less interesting than it actually was. It was the children whose childhood did not prepare them for what was to come that made the program so inspiring. Where did their ideas come from about what they wanted to do when they grew up? Are children influenced by what their parents do, by what they see on television, or by what their teachers say? How great is the effect of a single important event? Many film directors, including Stephen Spielberg, say that an early visit to the cinema was the turning point in their byes. Dr. Margaret McAllister, who has done a tot of research in this area, thinks that the major influences are parents, friends, and the wider society.
What does the text mainly discuss?
A.New ways to make a TV program interesting.
B.The importance of television programs to children.
C.Different ways to make childhood dreams come true.
D.The influence of childhood experience on future lives.

W: Hmm. Great.
M: Ah. It isn't that bad.
W: Well, how about the bathroom?
M: Well...
W. No, no. Don't tell me. The toilet is clogged or the sink has a few leaks.
M: No, those work fine, but, uh, the tile in the shower needs to be replaced, and the window needs fixing.
W: Let me see. The tile.., what? The window? Where's the window pane?
M: Well, that's another slight problem. I've put up a piece of cardboard to keep out the rain and snow, and if it gets a little cold, you can always turn up the heat. Well, you used to until the central heating went out.
