听力原文: My friend, David kept birds. He loves his birds very much. One day he phoned me, and told me that he was going away for a week. He asked me to feed the birds for him and said that he would leave the key to his front door in my mailbox. Unfortunately, I forgot all about the birds until the night before David was going to return. What was worse, it was already dark when I arrived at his house. I soon found the key David gave me could not unlock either the front door or the back door. I was getting hopeless. I kept thinking of what David would say when he came back. I was just going to give up when I noticed that one bedroom window was slightly open. I'm very happy. I found a stone and pushed it under the window. As the stone was very heavy, I made a lot of noise. But in the end, I man- aged to climb up and open the window. I actually had 'one leg inside the bedroom when I suddenly realized that someone was shining a flashlight up at me. I looked down and saw a policeman and an out lady, one of David's neighbors. "What are you doing up there?" asked the policeman. Feeling like a complete fool, I replied, "I was just going to feed Mr. David's birds. "But I don't think they can believe me.
Who is the speaker?
A.A policeman.
B.David's neighbor.
C.David's friend.
David: Can you spare a moment, dear? I want you to listen to this letter.
Sally: Go ahead, then.
David: Dear Sir, my wife and I arrived home last night after a holiday arranged by your firm, in
Jersey. We stayed at the hotel described in your brochure as a comfortable, medium-sized hotel, with a magnificent view of the sea, offering courteous, old fashioned service and excellent food, served in a relaxed friendly atmosphere.
Sally: Yes, that's what the brochure said.
David: In fact the hotel is situated at least half a mile from the sea. Our room overlooked a car park...
Sally: Through the gates of which motor vehicles were constantly arriving or departing.
David: Yes, that's good. The food was strictly beef-burgers and chips or fish and chips. Wine was available, but at exorbitant prices, and as for the courteous, old-fashioned service, the majority of the staff were foreign and virtually incapable of speaking or understanding the English language.
Sally: Yes, that's quite true.
David: In addition to this, we were most unhappy with the arrangements for our journey home. We were instructed to catch the 11:00 am ferry...
Sally: Wasn't it 12:00?
David: No, 11:00... but this was apparently delayed and we did not get away till 6 o'clock in the evening. Now that our holiday is over, it seems fairly pointless writing this letter, but I should like you to know that we were most disappointed with the hotel and travel arrangements and shall certainly not be booking any futurc holidays through yours. Yours faithfully, David Smith.
Sally: Yes dear, that' s a very good letter.
