听力原文： A friend of mine told me that when he was a young man, he went to work as a teacher in one of the states of India.
One day, he received an invitation to join at the ruler's palace. Very pleased, he went to tell his colleagues. They laughed and told him the meaning of the invitation. They had all been invited and each person who was invited had to bring with him a certain number of silver' and gold coins. The number of coins varied according to the person's position in the service of the government. My friend's income was not high, so he did not have to pay much.
Each person bowed before the ruler. His gold went onto one heap; his silver went onto another heap. And in this way he paid his income tax for the year.
This was the simple way of collecting income tax. The tax on property was also collected simply. The ruler gave a man the power to collect a tax from each owner of land or property in a certain area, if this man promised to pay the ruler a certain amount of money. Of course, the tax collector managed to collect more money than he paid to the ruler. The difference between the sum of money he collected and the sum of money he gave to the ruler was his profit.
What do we know about the speaker's friend？
听力原文：M: Have you ever visited a redwood forest？ I recently had a chance to go to Muirwoods National Monument north of San Francisco.
W: I've never seen a redwood tree, I really can't imagine how big they are.
M: The coastal redwoods are the tallest living things. Some are more than three hundred and fifty feet high. But none of the tree at Muirwoods is that high. You have to go further north in California to see the tallest trees.
W: You said that Muirwoods is near San Francisco？ I guess it must be quite a tourist attraction.
M: Yes. It's less than an hour's drive, so it's easy to go to.
W: I've heard that many redwood trees are thousands of years old. Are the ones in Muirwoods that old？
M: The oldest documented age for a coastal redwood is more than thousand years. The trees at Muirwoods are 400 to 800 years old.
W: Why have they survived so long？
M: They have remarkable resistance to forest fires. Their tough, thick bark protects the trees during a fire. The coastal redwoods also like a damp, foggy climate.
W: Then since Muirwoods is near foggy San Francisco, it must be ideal for the tree's survival. I can't wait to go there and see them.
Where can the tallest trees be found？
听力原文：M: How shall we go to the theater？
W: Since it's rush hour, let's take the subway.
M: Ok. It's not as direct as the bus, but it's faster and there will be less chance of a traffic jam.
Why do they decide to take the subway？
听力原文：M: Do you know if the bus station has timetables for buses to Chicago？
W: They may not, but I know you can catch a bus to Chicago.
What does the man want to know？
