Finally one day in June Mr Richards complained to a clever friend of his who lived in the same place. "One of my wife's cousins is going to bring her husband and children and spend ten days with us next month again. How have you prevented all your relatives from coming to live with you in summer?" "Oh," the friend answered, "that is not difficult. I just borrow money from all the rich ones, and lend it to all the poor ones. After that, they seldom come again." Hearing this Mr Richards smiled.The relatives preferred to stay in Mr Richards's house because().

Sent: Mon 5/21 10:11P.M.

Subject: House

Dear Ms. Richards,

Hello. I saw the flyer about the house at 191 NW Ramona Avenue, and wanted to make an appointment for a private viewing. My husband and I work Monday through Friday so either Saturday or Sunday would work best for us. The house used to belong to my grandparents. The last time 1 was in the house was about 25 years ago, shortly before my grandparents sold it.

My family and I recently moved back to this area, and are currently renting an apartment that is much too small for us. The house is within our price range, and I know that it's in one of the safest neighborhoods in the city. How long has the house been on the market? Have the owners had any offers for the house? My husband and I will be free this Saturday afternoon and Sunday evening. Would either of those days work for you?

Sincerely,

Bonnie Rawson

According to the flyer, which part of the house has been renovated recently?

A.The bedroom

B.The garage

C.The system of water pipes

D.The hall

听力原文: Mr Richards worked in a shop which sold, cleaned and repaired hearing aids. One day an old gentleman entered and put one down in front of him without saying a word. "What's the matter with it?" Mr Richards said. The man did not answer. Of course Mr Richards thought that the man must be deaf and that his hearing aid must be faulty, so he said again, more loudly, "what's wrong with your hearing aid, sir?" Again the man said nothing, so Mr Richards shouted his question again as loudly as he could.

The man then took a pen and piece of paper and wrote: "It isn't necessary to shout when you're speaking to me. My ears are as good as yours. This hearing aid is my wife's, not mine. I've jut had a throat operation, and my problem is not that I can't hear, but that I can't speak."

(23)

A.He wanted to buy a hearing-aid.

B.He wanted to have a hearing-aid repaired.

C.He wanted to get a pen and a piece of paper.

D.He wanted to solve his own problem.

Miss Richards was a teacher at a school for boys and girls. She taught chemistry and physics from the lowest to the highest classes in the school. Sometimes the new classes learned rapidly, but sometimes they were very slow, and then Miss Richards had to repeat things many times.

One year, the first class had been studying chemistry for several weeks when Miss Richards suddenly asked, "What is water7 Who knows? Hands up."

There was silence for a few seconds, and Miss Richards felt sad but then one boy raised his hand. "Yes, Dick?" said Miss Richards encouragingly. He was not one of the brightest students in the class, so she was glad this boy could answer.

"Water is a liquid which has no color until you wash your hands in it, then it turns black," the boy replied.

What was Miss Richards?

A.A chemistry teacher.

B.A physics teacher.

C.A science teacher.
