听力原文：M: I'm going to run for election of the student union. How can I convince members of the union that I am the best candidate for the president?

W: That's not easy.

M: Yes, I know. Just tell me what you think.

W: Actually I think once you show everyone how well you did as junior class monitor, you will win easily.

M: How could I do that? Meet with all two hundred people who are members of the student union?

W: Come on, what I'm thinking of first is hanging campaign posters in all the hallways, for most students are sure to see them.

M: That sounds good, but everyone puts up posters. Can we do it in a different way?

W: Of course we have some other ways. You know the campus radio station, right? You may give a speech there. I'm sure lots of students will be listening then.

M: That's a good idea. How can I make it?

W: Well, I have a friend working as a director there. We may ask him for help.

M: Terrific. I really don't know how to thank you.

W: Ok, Ok, just forget it. We've a lot of things to do. You'd better come up with a speech pretty quickly.

It was not yet eleven o'clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger who was lucky to be able to cross the river at that unusual hour by promising to pay some extra money. While the youth stood in the light place searching his pockets for money, the boatman lifted a lamp, with the help of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a careful look at the stranger. He was a young man of about eighteen years, clearly country brought up, and was, as it seemed, on his first visit to town. He was wearing a rough grey coat, which was in good shape, and which had seen many winters before this one. The jacket under his coat was made of leather(皮), and fitted tightly to a pair of strong legs; his stockings of blue must have been the work of his mother or sister; on his head was a hat, which in its better days had perhaps protected the grayer head of the young man's father, In his left hand was a walking stick, and on his strong shoulders hung a leather bag. Brown hair, well-shaped features(身体匀称), bright, cheerful eyes were nature's gifts. The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already travelled more than thirty miles that day. As he walked, he looked around as eagerly as if he were entering London or New York instead of the little city in New Eng land.

Which of the following statements is true?

A．The boy was rich.

B．The story took place at a cold snowy(下雪的) night in winter.

C．The boatman wouldn't like to send the young man across the river at first.

D．The boatman knew that the young man's name was Robin.

Which of the following is the best description of the proprietary colony?

Andrea had never seen an old lady hitchhiking (搭车) before. However, the weather and the coming darkness made her feel sorry for the lady. The old lady had some difficulty climbing in through the ear door, and pushed her big brown canvas shopping bag down onto the floor under her feet. She said to Andrea, in a voice that was almost a whisper, "Thank you dearie --I'm just going to Brkcdburne."

Something in the way the lady spoke, and the way she never turned her head, made Andrea uneasy about this strange hitchhiker. She didn't know why, but she felt instinctively that there was something wrong, something odd, and something dangerous. But how could an old lady be dangerous? It was absurd.

Careful not to turn her head, Andrea looked sideways at her passenger. She studied the hat, the dirty collar of the dress, the shapeless body, the arms with their thick black hairs...

Thick black hairs?

Hairy arms? Andrea's blood froze.

This wasn't a woman. It was a man.

At first, she didn't know what to do. Then suddenly, an idea came into her racing, terrified brain. Swinging the wheel suddenly, she threw the car into a skid (刹车), and brought it to a halt.

"My God!" she shouted. "A child! Did you see the child? I think I hit her!"

The "old lady" was clearly shaken by the sudden skid, "I didn't see anything dearie," she said. "I don't think you hit anything."

"I'm sure it was a child!" insisted Andrea. "Could you just get out and have a look? Just see if there's anything on the road?" She held her breath. Would her plan work?

It did. The passenger slowly climbed out to investigate. As soon as she was out of the vehicle, Andrea gunned the engine and accelerated madly away, and soon she had put a good three miles between herself and the awful hitchhiker.

It was only then that she thought about the bag lying on the floor in front of her. Maybe the bag would provide some information about the real identity about the man. Pulling into the side of the road, Andrea opened the heavy bag curiously.

It contained only one item--a small hand axe, with a razor-sharp blade. The axe and the inside of the bag were covered with the dark red stains of dried blood.

Andrea began to scream.

Andrea allowed the hitchhiker to take a ride in her car, mainly because ______

A．the hitchhiker was an old woman

B．she was curious about the old lady

C．the lady had a heavy bag

D．she knew the old lady

Andrea had never seen an old lady hitchhiking(搭车) before. However, the weather and the coming dark ness made her feel sorry for the lady. The old lady had some difficulty climbing in through the car door, and pushed her big brown canvas shopping bag down onto the floor under her feet.

Something in the way the lady spoke, and the way she never turned her head made Andrea uneasy about this strange hitchhiker.
