听力原文: Nearly 400 years ago a young man traveled up to London. The young man had come on foot from Stradfurd-on-Avon, a small town on the Avon. He was poor, but he had confidence in his future, the future of a great actor. His name was William Shakespeare.
He had not been in London very long before he noticed that play-goers all went to the theatre on horseback. "Here is an opportunity!" he thought," There must be someone to take care of the horses when people are watching a play." So he began to do the job and he did it so well that people all liked him very much.
Soon the actors found the young man a very premising actor and he was given an opportunity to play a part on the stage. From that time on, his name became known. But he was not content with the life of an actor. He took great interest in play-writing. The plays he wrote, popular in England of his own time and up to the present day, have shown him to be one of the greatest writers the world has ever produced. He is among those who are loved by the people in all time and in all lands.

听力原文: One winter evening Mr. Blake was driving in his car along an isolated country road. He had been to New York, in which he had withdrawn 10 000 dollars from the bank.
He was then going back home with the money, which he had put in his pocket. At the loneliest part of the road a middle-aged man in poor clothes stopped him and asked for a lift. Mr. Blake told him to get into the car and continued on his way. As he talked to the man he learned that he had been in prison for robbery and had escaped out of prison three days ago. Mr. Blake was very worried at the thought of the 10000 dollars in his pocket.
Suddenly he saw a police-car and had a clever idea. He had just reached a small town where the speed limit was 40 miles an hour. He pressed down the accelerator and drove the car as fast as it would go. He looked back and saw the police-car had seen this and had begun to chase him. After a mile or so the police-car overtook him and ordered him to stop.

The first thief came up to the farm and said, “My good old man, why are you leading this dog?”
At this moment the second thief, coming from another direction, cried to him, “Poor old man, where have you stolen this dog?”And immediately after these words, the third thief came up and asked the farmer,“Where are you going with this handsome greyhound?”
The poor farmer began to doubt whether the sheep was a sheep or not. But the fourth robber put him quite beside himself by coming near him and asking what the dog cost him.
The farmer began to think and got the conclusion that the four men, who came from different directions, could not all be wrong. He believed that the sheep he was leading was a dog.
