und the world to raise money for charity. As a child she had trained as a ballet dancer, but at 15 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became a member of a pop dance team. She got married, and after she had children she retired from show business to bring them up. They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home. She says, "When I decided to do the round-the-world race, my husband thought I was bored because the children had left home. He was also worried because I had never sailed before. I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race. They had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to Australia. I wanted to do the whole ten-month journey." Before Molly left she did a lot of training, but it hadn't prepared her for the worst weather which they experienced. She tells one story. 'One night the sea was very rough and it was very cold. I had gone downstairs when a huge wave smashed into the boat and injured two men on the deck. One of the men couldn't move because he had broken his leg. They were taken to hospital by helicopter. That was the worst time.' By the end of October last year, she had raised more than ？50,000 for charity. She says, 'Sometimes I ask myself, what did I do？ How did I do it？ But then I think, it's the same as being a dancer.

听力原文： Barbara Sanders is a wife and the mother of two children, ages 2 and 4. Her husband, Tom, is an engineer and makes an excellent salary. Before Barbara had children, she worked as an architect for the government, designing government housing. She quitted her job when she became pregnant, but is now interested in returning to work. She's been offered an excellent job with the government. Her husband feels it's unnecessary for her to work since the family does not need the added income. He also thinks that a woman should stay home with her children. If Barbara feels the need to do socially important work, he thinks that she should do volunteer work one or two days a week. Barbara, on the other hand, has missed the excitement of her profession and does not feel she would be satisfied doing volunteer work. She would also like to have her own income, so she does not have to ask her husband for money whenever she wants to buy something. She does not think it's necessary to stay home every day with the children and she knows a very reliable babysitter who's willing to come to her house. Tom does not think a baby-sitter can replace a mother and thinks it's a bad idea for the children to spend so much time with someone who's not part of the family.

What was Barbara's profession before she had children？

A．Fashion designer.

B．Architect.

C．City planner.

D．Engineer.

Paula had always wanted to go to New York and now she had the chance at last. She was a journalist, and her newspaper was sending her there to do a series of articles on the city. But before she left her home in London, several friends warned her to be careful and not to go out alone at night in New York. "It's a dangerous place. People get robbed or even killed in broad daylight!" they told her

But once she got there, she was oniy afraid of exhaustion. It was so stimulating and exciting a city that she never got any steep. It took her two weeks to do the articles and she had to interview a lot of people, but she enjoyed every minute. She completely forgot all her friends' warnings until the day before she went back to London. It atl began in a bar

She was having lunch there when she suddenly felt someone was watching her. She looked up and noticed a man sitting at a table opposite her. He was staring at her, but looked away. She noticed that he had a scar on his cheek. He was about 30, and had short, curly hair

Paula was not worried at all then. She had to go to an airline office to book her flight home. She wanted an afternoon flight instead of a morning one. On her way there, she stopped to look at something in a shop window. To her surprise, she saw the man following her; she could see his reflection in the glass. He had stopped just behind her. Suddenly she felt afraid. She walked on. Then she stopped and looked behind her again. But this time she could not see him.

Just then she noticed she had come to the airline office. She went in. After she had finished her business, she decided to phone a friend from a telephone booth there. She was carrying a small, portable but very expensive tape recorder. It was in a black case. She kept her money and passport in the case as well. But the booth was so cramped that she had to eave the case outside. When she came out, it had disappeared. She was stunned. Then she saw the red-haired man hurrying out of the office. He had the case in his hand. She shouted, but it was too late.
