听力原文： There are many anecdotes about George Washington, the first president of the United States. Among them, there is the following:
Once a neighbor stole one of Washington's horses. Washington went with a police officer to the neighbor's farm to get the horse, but the neighbor refused to give the horse up; he claimed that it was his horse.
Washington placed both of his hands over the eyes of the horse and said to the neighbor, "If this is your horse, then you must tell us in which eye he is blind."
"In the right eye!" the neighbor said.
Washington took his hand from the right eye of the horse and showed the police officer that the horse was not blind in the right eye.
"Oh, I have made a mistake," said the neighbor. "He is blind in the left eye." Washington then showed that the horse was not blind in the left eye either.
"I have made another mistake," said the neighbor.
"Yes," said the police officer, "and you have also proven that the horse does not belong to you. You must return it to Mr Washington."

In proceeding towards this unpleasant conclusion I have not guessed or speculated, but have used what is commonly called the scientific method. That is to say, I have subjected every hypothesis to the test of actual experiment, and have adopted it or rejected it according to the result.
Many men who have accumulated more money than they can ever use have shown a violent hunger for more, and have not hesitated to cheat the ignorant and the helpless of their poor savings in order to satisfy that appetite. I furnished a hundred different kinds of wild animals the opportunity to accumulate vast stores of food, but none of them would do it. The bees and certain birds made accumulations, but stopped when they had gathered a winter's supply, and could not be persuaded to add to it either honestly or by deception. These experiments convinced me that there is the difference between man and the higher animals: he is greedy, they are not.
Man is the only animal that robs his helpless fellow of his country -- takes possession of it and drives him out of it or destroys him. Man has done this in all the ages. There is not an acre of ground on the globe that is held by its rightful owner, or that has not been taken away from owner after owner, by force and bloodshed.
Man is the Reasoning Animal. Such is the claim. I think it is open to debate. Indeed, my experiments have proven to me that he is the Unreasoning Animal. His record is the fantastic record of a maniac(狂热者). I consider that the strongest count against his intelligence is the fact that with that record back of him he still sets himself up as the head animal of the lot: whereas by his own standards he is the bottom one.
The writer claims that his theory is ______.
A．practical
B．objective
C．subjective
D．scientific

As the Beagle sailed around the world, Darwin began to wonder how life had developed on earth. He saw volcanic islands in the sea, and wondered how living things had got there.
But people who believed every word of the Bible thought that God had made all creatures and Man. But, if that was true, why did some of the fossils look like" mistakes" which had failed to change and, for that reason ,died out？
On went Beagle, to Tahiti, New Zealand and Australia. There, Darwin saw coral and coral islands for the first time. How had these islands come about？ Soon, he had the answer. Coral was made up of the bodies of millions of tiny creatures, piled up over millions of years— a million years for each island. Darwin wrote it all down in his notebooks.
After five years he was home. He was never again the healthy young man who climbed mountains and carried heavy bags of fossils for miles.
He set to work, getting his collection in order. And, in 1839, he married his cousin, Emma Wedgwood. It was a happy marriage with ten children. He could be found working in his study, with a child beside him.
His first great work The Zoology of the Beagle was well received, but he was slow to make public his ideas on the origins of life. He was certainly very worried about disagreeing with the accepted views of the Church. Happily, the naturalists at Cambridge persuaded Darwin that he must make his ideas public. So Darwin and Wallace, another naturalist who had the same opinions as Darwin, produced a paper together. A year later Darwin's great book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection appeared. It attracted a storm.
People thought that Darwin was saying they were descended from monkeys. What a shameful idea! Although most scientists agreed that Darwin was right and that the story of Adam and Eve was merely a story, the Church was still so strong that Darwin never received any honours for his work.
Many years later, he published his other great work, The Descent of Man. He gave a lecture at the Royal Institution, when the whole audience stood up and clapped. His health grew worse, but still he worked. "When I have to give up observation, I shall die, " he said. He was still working on 17,April,1882. He was dead two days later.
What did Charles Darwin see in Chile？
A．Earthquakes and volcanoes.
B．Coral and coral islands.
C．Bodies of millions of tiny creatures.
D．Fossils.

In spite of this, today's worker may not feel that he has a great deal of leisure time. This is because a lot of the non-work time is taken up with fulfilling family and social obligations. For example, he feels that he should spend some time with his children every day, and if a man does physical activity in his job, that too cuts into his free time.
Nevertheless, the final result is that we do have more leisure — more time free from the obligation of work or any other social requirement. Leisure is time not used to earn money or to do things around the house which save money. It is time spent only in seeking satisfaction, and we give up what we are doing when it no longer satisfies us. Leisure gives us the opportunity to recover from the physical and mental fatigue of work and it frees our creative talents from the pressure and the form. placed on us by the job.
Today's leisure is time programmed for doing what you want to. It does not have to be made up the next day. This is something new. It really frees a person from the workshop to enjoy, for a time, things in which he is interested. Man is about to go out to the playground.
People have ______ today.
A．more leisure
B．less leisure
C．more work
D．less work
At ten, Louis went to the school for the blind in Paris. There he learned to read the 26 letters of the alphabet. The letters of the alphabet are very much alike. They had to be very big for Louis to feel the difference in their shapes. The teacher made letters from twigs. He then guided the blind boy's fingers along each shape.
Next Louis used books, but they were not books like the ones we use. The teacher had made them. The letters were cut out of cloth and pasted on the pages. Each letter was very large. The word would almost fill a page of the book we are using now. Just think how big one of Louis's books would have to be!
One day a pupil came running to the teacher. Excitedly, the pupil showed him a printed card. The type had hit the card so hard that it made bumps on the other side. The pupil could feel the bumps that were the letters. These bumpy letters gave the teacher an idea.
The teacher used type that made the letters slick out from the page, but still the letters had to he big so that a blind person could feel the difference between them. A book was still very large. And reading it took a very long lime.
As Louis grew older, he was more and more eager to learn. But he knew it would take him five years to learn what a sighted person could learn in one.
Once he said to his father, "I can tell one bird from another by its call. I can know the door to my house by its feel. But am I never to know what lies outside hearing and feeling？"
"There are books." his father said.
"Yes," said Louis. "Only books can free the blind. But the books we have aren't good enough!"
Louis wanted to make books that were good enough. Instead of letters, he wanted to use shapes that were easy to tell apart by touch. Louis tried and triad, but he couldn't come up with a code that would work.
Braille took a job at the school for the blind in Paris. While teaching there, he heard of a kind of "night writing. "This was a code that a French army captain had made up for sending messages on the battle field.
At night, a soldier could read a message without a light. The message was "written" in raised dots and dashes. It was "read" by touch.
Suddenly the meaning of his code hit Braille. If a sighted person could read it in darkness, a blind person could read it too. A blind person was always in darkness.
"I must talk to this captain. I must learn more about night writing." Braille said.
He got a friend to take him to the captain. The captain told him that he used an awl to punch bumps into thick paper. This made small dots which can be felt on the other side.
Louis Braille never rested from that day until five years later. He worked and worked and finally came up with a code.
Braille used raised dots, just as in night writing. He used from one to six dots for each letter of the alphabet. He arranged them differently for each letter.
By using six dots, he made 63 different arrangements. In addition to the letters, he could have punctuation marks and even short words like "the" and "for".
Louis Braille died in 1852. But his name lives on. It lives on as the name of the code that he invented, the code that is still used by the blind. There are books printed in Braille. There are magazines, such as Reader's Digest, printed in Braille. There are even playing cards in Braille. Braille is the name of the man and the code that gives windows to the blinds.
How does the tool called an awl play a part in the story？
A．Louis Braille's teacher at the school for the blind made letters with it.
B．It caused Braille's blindness.
C．The captain used it in night writing.
D．Braille used it to read books.
