M: Frankly, Sandra, I'm not very pleased with you. I don't know -- it's something about the way you approach your work, your attitude to it, that worries me.
W: Oh, really? How do you mean?
M: Well, you don't seem to respond to me very well. In fact I find that you're not easy to work with. Yes, re ally Sandra, I find you rather difficult.

M: Maybe, but you don't seem to enjoy your work. I mean, are you happy at LTV? Perhaps you need a change. Have you ever thought about working somewhere else? You know, a different sort of job.
W: Well, no. It's not that. I like it here. I like working for LTV. I think television is exciting. It's just that my job, what I do, seems so boring, so repetitive. I don't feel as if I'm getting anywhere.
M: I see. Yes, I think I understand how you feel. I'm glad you told me. But you've got to realize, Sandra, that we can't all do exciting work all the time.
W: Yes, I know that.
M: Look, this is what I think we'd better do. Bill Fletcher who deals with audience reaction and research wants someone to help him on door-to-door interviews and so on. We might be able to fit you in some where there. What do you think about that?

M: Yeah, I do yard work for people. You know, cutting grass, raking leaves, pulling weeds, things like that.
W: I' d like to do that. It must be nice to work outdoors.
M: Sometimes it is, except when it rains, or snows or gets too hot or too cold.
W: I guess every job has its drawbacks. There are times when I get pretty tired of carrying things around at my job. But a job is a job. I have to earn money for school.
M: Me too. Tuition sure is high, isn't it? Well, I'd better get going. I have to plant some trees for my neighbors this afternoon.

   Akio Morita, chairman of Sony, was annoyed because his children constantly played loud music. He told his company engineers to devise some machine to make the music can only be heard by the user. They did, and the Walkman was born. This totally changed the way we listen to music. Morita personally insisted on using the name" Walkman" for the new machine. His advisers said the phrase meant nothing in English. But he knew it was easy to pronounce the word in nearly every language. So people all over the world will remember the name of this product. It was also short, catching and summed up the importance of the new device!
   Now the personal stereo is used by everyone. There are new designs such as CD Walkmans, recording Walkmans, etc. As size, weight and cost get smaller, quality gets bigger.
   Socially, however, the Walkman habit may not be so good. By playing their personal stereos at full volume in small spaces, listeners may disturb others. The repeated loud beat can also be annoying. That is why in London's Underground Railway System there are signs saying, "Keep Your Personal Walkman Personal." Furthermore, drivers listening to Walkmans may sometimes cause road accidents to happen. And the rise in hearing problems is often blamed on their misuse.
   There is no doubt that modem society has a love-hate relationship with the Walkman. Yet even criticism proves how popular the Walkman has become. Rather like the television or the computer, it is hard to imagine how we ever lived without them.

W: I’m reading an essay by Thornton Wilder for my theater course, so I am eager to see how he applies his theories about drama to his own plays. Last night, I saw the student production of Our Town. It's too ex citing. To Wilder, a wonderful stage display is neither necessary nor suitable in a dramatic presentation. There certainly wasn't any impressive performance in Our Town. In fact, in the play there are hardly any objects or pieces of furniture are used at all. While I walked into the theater, I thought I had gone on the wrong night, since there was nothing but a bare stage, not even a curtain. A simple setting like that is exactly what Wilder insists upon. At the start of the play, the stage manager who was also the narrator, put a table and chair on either side of the stage and said they represented the houses of two families. All the other objects used in the play were imaginary.
W: I think I'd really enjoy seeing Our Town.
M: You would, especially since you've read that essay. There will be another production of it tonight and one more on Sunday afternoon. I hope you can appreciate it.

D

由题干关键词many kinds of insects定位到最后一段第一、二句Like many desert plants， they have a waterproof skin which prevents water loss because of the high temperature．许多昆虫在沙漠中容易生存下来的原因是它们有一层能防水的皮肤，可以阻止因高温而蒸发体内水分。因此选[D]。[A]、[B]、[C]与文意不符，故排除。

A

根据题干中的three years retarded定位到第四段第四句话the boy in the example given即是第三段最后一句话中提到的十二岁的男孩，该男孩只通过了九岁孩子的测试，他的智力年龄 (mental age)是九岁，即他的智力发展晚了三年(three years retarded)，由此可推断出九岁男孩如果他的智力发展晚了三年，那么他的智力年龄应该是六岁，因此选[A]。

D

D

C

由题干中的money makes good health定位到最后一段第二句Money does not buy health directly，but it can be used to purchase goods and services that make good health more likely，钱虽然不能直接买到健康，但却可以买到能使人们保持健康所需的商品和服务，因此选[C]。[A]与原文内容相悖，[B]原文未提及，[D]夫妻双方一切共享，包括钱，内容与问题无关，故排除。

F

从Douglas的第二句话But by the very nature of sucking on a burning tobacco，it is impossible not to affect others nearby．和第三句话In short，the rights of smokers end when they violate the rights of non-smokers．可总结出他的看法，如果吸烟会影响不吸烟者的健康，那就损害了不吸烟者的权利，因此，便不允许吸烟。

E

从Brandon讲的第一句话Despite all the strict laws against smoking，however，statistics here have shown that more young people are lighting up.可判断出他的观点：尽管有严格的禁烟法律，但是调查结果表明吸烟的年轻人却越来越多，也就是说，越是不允许做的事，越有人去尝试，这是一种逆反心态，认为禁果好吃。

B

从Christopher讲的第二句话On the one hand，I do feel guilty that the amount of money I spend on cigarettes each month，which is quite substantial，could have been put to much better use，but on the other，I feel non-smokers should be more tolerant of us．可概括出他的心情，吸烟的人钱花得冤，却又不得不花，同时还受到不吸烟者的责备，深处两难的境地。
