Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文:M: Hi, Jane ... Say, are you OK? You're looking a bit tired.
W: Oh, I am. It's my neighbors.
M: Oh, so they're acting up again, Huh?
W: Unfortunately, yes, they are.
M: Loud music?
W: Not exactly. You've been to my apartment, right?
M: Yeah. I've been there once. It's a nice place.
W: Well, thank you. So you remember I live on the top floor. Well, last night, around eleven, my neighbors decided to go up on the roof of my apartment building.
M: The roof? Really?
W: Yeah. They had this guy in from out of town and they wanted to show him the view! Can you believe it? I was soundly asleep, and all of a sudden I heard "stomp, stomp, stomp!" They were walking around on the roof. It sounded like my ceiling was going to fall in.
M: So what did you do?
W: Well, after about ten minutes, I got dressed and went up there to tell them to be quiet. I was so mad. Then of course after that, I couldn't go back to sleep.
M: Oh, don't you hate when that happens? You can't fall asleep, and then before you know it, it's morning and the alarm clock is going off.

Owls are airborne invaders-powerful in flight, intimidating in repose and perching in numbers far beyond anything anyone remembers in the woods of northern Minnesota and Wisconsin. Among those staring back is avid bird-watcher Sharon Stiteler, the queen of BirdChick. com. "Oh, I love owls," she says. And there are plenty of them to love-more than 2,000 Great Grey owls and Northern Hawk owls have swooped down from Canada. Stiteler braves subzero temperatures, learning the language and trying to get as close as she can.
The owls’favorite delicacy, meadow voles-small mouse-like rodents-are scarce in Canada this winter. So the owls, wisely, headed south. "They will actually extend their talons forward and crash through the snow, and capture the voles without ever seeing them!" exclaims Carrol Henderson with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Over 2,000Great Greys have come this year, more than five times the highest number ever recorded. Tagging along are 300 smaller Hawk owls. "I don't think anybody right now is thinking that we're going to see anything like this again in our lifetime," says wildlife biologist Jim Lind.
But there is a problem facing these visitors from the northern wilderness. They are low-flying hunters and, as a result, are very vulnerable when they swoop down over roadways. About 250 have already been hit and killed by cars. Survivors are nurtured back to health at the University of Minnesota's raptor center.
No stranger to the cold, avian researcher Dave Grosshuesh captures and bands many owls, studying their movement, age and overall health. Not far away, Sharon Stiteler shivers on her own. But birders from as far away as New York and California often migrate here to marvel. Is all this for the birds? "Some people spend oodles on shoes; some people spend oodles on their nails," says Stiteler. "I spend oodles of time and money on birds!" Still, come spring these northern nomads will likely be gone, leaving behind the lingering memory of their haunting stares.
From the passage we can learn that _______.

A. Owls are native birds of the United Sates.
B. Mouse-like rodents like to eat meadow voles.
C. Fewer smaller Hawk owls came this year.
D. The number of Great Greys coming this year is very impressive.
