Who Came First， the Chicken or the Egg？
I just mailed the chicken and the egg, each in its own separate packaging, and kept careful track of when each shipment was sent from a post office in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, and when it later arrived at its intended destination in New York City.
In mailing the chicken, I was careful to adhere to the restrictions described in the American Postal Service's Domestic Mail Manual 57, as updated on April 3, 2003. This, the most recent, version of the Manual states that: "Adult chickens must be sent by Express Mail. The containers used must pass the standards in International Safe Transit Association Test Procedure IA; be strong enough to endure normal handling; and ensure enough air for the chickens in transit. The number of birds must not be more than the container's limit."
I mailed the chicken in a wooden box got from a colleague who does research with birds.
Then, I mailed the egg in standard packaging obtained through an industrial supplier. It's quite simple.
I posted both the chicken and the egg at 9:40 am, on a Monday morning, from the Harvard Square post office, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The staff there told me that this was the first chicken anyone had mailed from there in recent memory, and perhaps ever. They handled both the chicken and the egg skillfully and politely.
The intended destination for both packages was the James A. Farley General Post Office, which is located in Manhattan right next to the Penn Station train terminal.
I took the subway from the Harvard Square to the Boston train station, and from there boarded a train to New York City, a distance of about 320 kilometers, arriving that afternoon at Penn Station. I immediately went to the post office, to await the arrivals of the chicken and the egg.
The James A. Farley General Post Office is open 24 hours a day, so I was able to wait there until both items arrived. I inquired once per hour for both the chicken and the egg.
That day, Monday, neither the chicken nor the egg arrived. The next day, Tuesday, neither the chicken nor the egg arrived.
The chicken arrived at 10:31 am, Wednesday. The staff at the post office told me that this was the first chicken anyone had mailed to the post office in recent memory, and perhaps ever. The egg arrived that same day, at 9:37pm, 11 hours after the chicken.
Based on experiment data, it's now quite clear that the chicken came first, the egg second.
41 Which of the following is NOT required of a container？
A．It should be ventilated.
B．It should be made of steel.
C．It should be sufficiently large.
D．It should be strong.
It was Christmas Eve when I arrived, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, shining against the green of a pine.
"Where did it come from？" I asked.
"I asked the gate boy to cut it," my mother said, "I wouldn't have one just for myself, but when called—oh, such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon." Krysal Star was in its place. A few green branches reached about a little disorderly at the side, 1 thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas.
"It's not like the one you used to find," my mother went on, "Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the gate boy didn't know where to look. But I couldn't be critical."
"Don't worry," I told him, "It's perfect."
It wasn't of course, but at the moment I realized for the first time: all Christmas tree are perfect.
From the passage we can infer that ______.
A．the writer spent his first Christmas during the war
B．all the soldiers did not go home for Christmas during the war
C．all the soldiers had three-day passes
D．the writer did not want to go home for Christmas at first

听力原文： When I arrived in America three years ago, I was surprised by the tremendous amount of advertising. But now I've come to realize that it is a creative and necessary part of an industrial society. I, too, want to improve my life style. and to buy better products. I look to advertising to show me how to do it. Deciding what to believe in an advertisement, however, isn't easy. It seems to me that a person must purchase things with a lot of care. As a consumer, I want to get the best for my money so I really have to understand the techniques of advertising. Otherwise, manufacturers would be able to sell me anything, whatever its quality may be. The creative aspects of advertisements, for instance, often cover up defects or problems in products. I have learned this well, since I have made purchases and lost money because the items were of poor quality. The future advertising most likely will involve more public participation. In the future, if customers really care about the quality of something as well as the quantity, maybe advertisers will begin to care more about what they are trying to sell.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. What do we learn about the speaker？
30. What's the speaker's impression of the advertisement in America when she first arrived there？
31. What does the speaker think future advertisers should do？
(30)
A．She has always lived in America.
B．She visited America three years ago.
C．She has been in America for three years.
D．She has come to America to do research on advertising.
听力原文： After years of study, I hove determined there are only two types of people in this world: Those who get to the airport early and those who walk in just as the plane is about to take off. If there were any justice in the world, the early airport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing and the late airport people would be punished. But there is no justice. I know I hove been an early airport person for years. My luggage will get on the plane first but it will be the last luggage to come off the plane when we land. You know who really gets his luggage first when we land？ The late airport person, who rushes into the airport three minutes before the plane takes off. "But if I get there real early," I told myself, "I will get the best seat." Well, no matter how early I showed up, I was always told that someone had called two or three days ahead of me and asked for that seat. The utmost embarrassment of the early airport person happened to me a few years ago when I was flying from New York to Chicago, When I got to the ticket counter, the person there said, "Sir, you hove a seat on the 9:15 A.M. flight, is that right？" "Yea. ' I said. "Well, it's only 7:00 A. M. and the 7:05 A.M. flight has not left yet. If you hurry you can make it." I was too embarrassed to say that I arrived early so I wouldn't have to hurry. Instead, I ran down the corridor to the plane.

When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I could make it home for the holidays.

"I asked the Gates boy to cut it," my mother said. "I wouldn't have had one just for myself, but when called-oh, such a rush ! He just brought it in this afternoon... " The pine reached to the
proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Krystal Star was in its place. A few green
branches reached about a little awkwardly(不够美观地) at the side, I thought，and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas. "It's not like the ones you used to find," my mother went on. "Yours were always in good shape，l suppose the Gates boy didn't know where to look. But I couldn't be fussy(挑剔的) . "
"Don't worry," I told her. "It's perfect. " It wasn't, of course, but at the moment I realized
something for the first time: all Christmas trees are perfect.
