听力原文： Although we are told when young that honesty is the best policy, we are often taught the opposite by experience and observation. A child quickly learns that she cannot always tell the truth. For instance, the little girl who tells her great aunt that she's fat and ugly learns that honesty can have some unfortunate results. Similarly the five-year-old who admits to pinching the baby soon has ample evidence that dishonesty might be the real virtue. In addition to her own experience, the child also observes that adults don't practice what they preach about honesty. Any alert child knows by the age of eight that adults really employ the little white lie to serve their own purposes. For instance, a child may hear a parent explain on the phone that his family have a lot of company when the child knows that no one is there but family members. Another child may hear her mother insist that she's terribly glad to see an old friend who has dropped by and then, two hours later, hear her mother complain about her day being interrupted by the visit. As a result, the child learns from watching that dishonesty is the practice even when honesty is the stated policy.

A．Practice requires him to be honest.

B．Dishonesty is not a virtue.

C．Honesty may make him suffer.

D．Honesty is the best policy.

听力原文： When you take a walk in any of the cities in the West, you often see a lot of people walking with dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world, but the reasons why people keep a dog have changed. In the old days people used to train dogs to protect themselves against attacks by other beasts. And later they came to realize that a dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obey his master. For example, when people used dogs for hunting, the dogs would not eat what was caught without permission. But now people in the city need not protect themselves against attacks of animals. Why do they keep dogs, then？ Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery. But the most important reason is for companionship. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For young couples, a dog is their child when they have no children. For old couples, a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up. So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection to friendship.

(37)

A．For protection against other dogs.

B．For protection against other animals.

C．Just for fun.

D．For the purpose of guarding the house.

Helen Keller was born a healthy normal child in Alabama in 1880. However, an illness with a high fever struck her when she was still a child. She became deaf, blind, and unable to speak. For little Helen, the world was suddenly a dark and frightening place. She was wild and stubborn. Several years later a miracle came into Helen's life when Anne Sullivan, a strong and loving person, became Helen's teacher. Miss Sullivan's teaching changed the child into a responsible human being. Through her help Helen Keller learned to communicate with those around her, and as she grew older, others benefited from her unique insights and courage. Miss Keller died in 1968, but her spirit lives on. It lives on in her articles and books and in the stories of people who were fortunate enough to meet her during her lifetime.

听力原文： In her early days as an emergency room physician, Doctor Joanna Myer treated a child who had suffered a second degree burn. After the child had been treated and was being prepared for discharge, Doctor Myer talked to the parents about how they should care for the child at home. Also listening to her were a half a dozen other family members. A few hours later, when she came to say goodbye, the family asked her to settle an argument they'd been having over exactly what advice she had given. "As I talked to them, 1 was amazed". she said, "All of them had heard the simple instructions I have given just a few hours before, but they have three or four different versions. The most basic details were unclear and confusing. I was surprised, because these were intelligent people". This episode gave Doctor Myer her first clue to something every doctor learns sooner or later—most people just don't listen very well. Nowadays, she says she repeats her instructions, and even conducts a reality check with some patients. She asks them to tell her what they think they are supposed to do. She also provides take-home sheets which are computer printouts tailored to the patients' situation. Doctor Myer's listeners are not unusual. When new or difficult material is presented, almost all listeners are faced with the challenge because human speech lacks the stability and permanence of the printed word. Oral communication is fast-moving and impermanent.

Questions:

What did the child's family members argue about in the hospital？

What does Doctor Myer do to insure her patients understand her instructions？

What does the speaker say about human speech？

(30)

A．Whether they should take the child home.

B．What Dr. Myer's instructions exactly were.

C．Who should take care of the child at home.

D．When the child would completely recover.
