Mike said he wasn't feeling well, ________？

听力原文：W: Mike said that he is looking for a job in the bookstore.

听力原文：M: My brother Mike has just done a course at the Green Park Camping School.

W: Really! What made him decide to do that?

M: Well, for one thing, some boys in his class decided to do it and they dared him to go with them!

W: You mean he didn't really want to go?

M: I think he wanted to go but I think he was also a little frightened. Of course, now that he's done it, he's very pleased with himself and he's always talking about it.

W: So he enjoyed it, didn't he?

M: Not exactly. I think he's enjoying the feeling of having done it more than he enjoyed actually doing it!

W: What sort of things did he do?

M: Oh, all sorts of open-air activities: hiking, camping, canoeing. One thing he had to do was to capsize a canoe and then right it again without getting out. He said the water was very cold but that he hardly noticed it at the time.

W: Why not?

M: He was too busy righting the canoe!

W: That doesn't sound very comfortable at this time of the year.

M: That's what I said when he told me. On another occasion he had to spend a day and a night by himself in the open country.

W: Was he frightened ?

M: He was frightened at first, apparently, but then he got used to it.

W: It seems to me that the course did him a lot of good. I expect it's made him more self-reliant.

M: That's what he says and now he wants me to go!

(20)

A．Mike was eager to do the course.

B．Mike had done outdoor activities.

C．Mike enjoyed life in the open.

D．Mike was reluctant and timid.

听力原文：W: Hey, Mike! Did you attend Mr. Johnson's seminar on the History of Chicago?

M: Yes, I did. I didn't notice you were there, too.

W: I was late for it. Wasn't it a great seminar? I have learned so much!

M: It certainly was. I hadn't understood that Chicago was such a young city, less than 200 years old.

W: Yes, I thought it was an old city before, but it turned out that I was wrong. You still remember what Mr. Johnson said? The army fort, Fort Dearborn, was built in 1803 in the place that would become Chicago. Chicago didn't officially become a town until 30 years later, in 1833.

M: Yes, and when it officially became a town in 1833, it was very small. It had a population of only 350. Think about that, only 350 people! It was really a tiny town by then.

W: But it's a pity that after Chicago had grown, much of it was destroyed in a fire. Just imagine! What a big fire it was!

M: The Great Chicago Fire was in 1871. Chicago wasn't even forty years old at the time, but it had grown much bigger.

W: Yet only twenty-two years later, in 1893, Chicago was able to host a World's Fair. It was such a huge development for a city.

M: Yes. Chicago had been rebuilt after the fire and was eager to show itself off to the rest of the world at the World's Fair in 1893.

W: I will attend another seminar on the Economy of Chicago next week. Mr. Johnson will talk about the economy specifically. Will you be there too?

M: Yes, so I will see you next Thursday.

(23)

A．He had thought Chicago was a young city.

C．He had thought Chicago should be an old city.

D．He had thought Chicago was totally destroyed by fires.
