听力原文: When Mr. Finch retired, he bought a small cottage in a seaside village. The cottage was built in the late sixteenth century, but it was in very good condition. Mr. Finch was looking forward to a quiet life, but in the summer holidays he got a shock. Hundreds of tourists came to the seaside village. Mr. Finch's cottage was the most interesting building in the village and many of the tourists came to see it. From morning till night there were tourists outside the cottage. They kept looking through the windows and many of them even went into Mr. Finch's garden. This was too much for Mr. Finch. He decided to drive the unwelcome visitors away, so he put up a notice in the window. The notice said, "If you want to satisfy your curiosity, come in and look around. Price 5 pounds." Mr. Finch was sure that the visitors would stop coming, but he was wrong. The number of visitors increased and Mr. Finch spent every day showing them round his cottage. "I came here to retire, not to work as a guide," he complained. In the end, he sold the cottage and bought a small, modern house. It is an uninteresting little place and no one wants to see it. But it is certainly quiet and peaceful.

W: Change?
M: Yes. The last day of examinations for your group will be December the 2nd instead of November the 29th.

M: The schedule's gone to the printer. There can be no changes. It's definitely December the 2nd.
W: That's relief. I'm going to the US on December the 4th.
M: Are you one of the exchange students?
W: Yeah. I'm really looking forward to studying there. Do you know if their general science courses are anything like ours?

W: Oh. Yes, please.
M: I've just finished putting it on the notice board downstairs. Basically you'll have four examinations. General Mechanics is in the morning of December the 1st, physics and maths are on the afternoon of the stone day. Communications and English are on the morning of December the 2nd and Earth Science in the afternoon.

听力原文: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Safari Park. I am Susan; I will lead you to visit the park. There are many beautiful animals in the park, and we will see them one after another. Follow me please! First, you'll see the Animals of Asia on your right. Some of them are not strangers to us, but as for many of them, we only heard of them from TV or radio. They are really beautiful. Just pass the Asian animals, you'll find Flamingo Pond. We're sure you'll like the beautiful pink birds. Continue a- long the walkway. On your right, you'll see the wild animals of the North American grassland. After that, it's Monkey Mountain where you'll notice the baby monkeys playing. The baby monkey sitting in the tree is the loveliest one here. Once visitors throw some food to them, he is always the first one to get it. But we'd better not throw food to them, because that will make the park easily dirty. Although the Monkey Mountain is attractive, we can't stay for too long time, because there are many other animals ahead.
What is the speaker?
A.A guide.
B.A visitor.

On British Newspapers
Besides the daily newspapers, there are a number of Sunday newspapers in Britain. Many of them are connected with the "dailies", though not run by the same editor and his members. The Sunday papers are larger than the daily papers and usually contain more articles concerned with comment (评论) and general information rather than news. The national daily and Sun day papers have the largest circulation(发行) in the world. Of the Sunday papers, the Observer and the Sunday Times are the best known.
It is a regrettable fact that the number of magazines of a literary or political nature has dropped down since the war. This has probably been caused by the ever-wider use of radio and television. The most successful magazines are those published for women. Their covers are designed to catch the eye, and they certainly succeed in doing so! They offer their readers articles on cookery (烹饪法), fashion, needlework, and many other matters of women interest. They also provide advice to those in love, and adventures with handsome heroes. Some women's magazines also include serious articles of more general interest.
The visitor who looks at the magazines displayed in a large bookstall (书摊) which may be found in an important railway station will notice that there is a wide variety of technical or semitechnical(半专业的) books and magazines. There are magazines for the motorist, the farmer, the gardener, the nurse, and many others.
There are many local and regional newspapers. It is common in Britain for a news agent(报刊经售人) to deliver (投递) the morning papers to his customers for a small extra payment, this service is usually performed by boys and girls who want to earn some pocket-money
Some Sunday newspapers may belong to the same publishing company but are not edited by the same group of people.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
