听力原文:W: This food is terrible! I can't even finish my dinner.
M: I know, you think with all the money we paid for room and board, the university could hire a better food service. Where are you heading next?
W: I'm going over to the student recreation center to play some bridge.
M: You are spending your time on a card game?
W: Not just a card game. It's one of the most strategic games.
M: So I have heard. Don't you play with a partner?
W: Yeah! Four people play, two against the other two.
M: So, you try to play in cooperation with your partner?
W: Actually, the cards of one of the four players are turned face-up. That player is called the dummy.
M: I wouldn't want to be called that. When you are the dummy, what do you do while the cards are being played?
W: Anything you want. Sit there and study, shuffle another deck, get snacks for everyone... I like to stand behind my partner and watch. That is very interesting.
M: You know, I've heard that bridge is habit-forming. You should be careful not to play so much that you don't get your studying done.
W: Don't worry about me. I only play cards on Thursday after dinner, and sometimes when they need a fourth player. If you like, I could teach you.
M: Thanks, but I have a pretty heavy workload this semester. I already spend my evenings doing things I don't really know how to do yet.
W: I know you are busy, but sometimes you need to have a rest.

听力原文: At one time, Carolyn McCarthy's world focused on the town, where she lived with her husband and son and she was, in her own words, an "average person" and "one of the quietest people you'd ever meet. "
The incident that changed her life forever took place on the day when a gunman opened fire in a car packed with commuters on their way home from work. (29) By the time the shooting was stopped, six people were fatally wounded one of them McCarthy's husband. Her son, also on the train, was partially paralyzed for life.
As McCarthy wrestled with her grief and anger, she swore (30) she would do something to help stop America's plague of gun-related violence. She began talking to anyone who would listen and started working with gun control organizations. In the process, she found herself addressing citizens' groups all across Long Island. As people started listening, she had to adapt her conversational abilities to larger audiences and more formal speaking situations. The spontaneous give-and-take of conversation evolved into structural public speeches.
When the U. S. Congressman in McCarthy's district voted to repeal the federal ban on assault weapons, McCarthy took her speechmaking to a new level and she announced her candidacy for Congress. (31) Her great challenge came five months later, when she addressed a national television audience in Chicago.
Fired by the belief, McCarthy spoke movingly about her journey into politics and about the toll that gun violence takes in American society. (32) Often addressing several audiences a day, she communicated her ideas so effectively that she was elected to the US Congress by a comfortable margin.
29.What changed McCarthy's life?
30.What were McCarthy's speeches about?
31.What was McCarthy's great challenge after she announced her candidacy for Cogress?
32.Why was McCarthy elected to the US Congress?
(33)

B. Her son was paralyzed in a car accident.
C. America was plagued by gun-related violence.
D. Her husband was involved in a gun violence.
