听力原文：M: Hey, Jane. What's so interesting？
W: Hi, Tom. I'm reading this fascinating article on the societies of the Ice Age.
M: (19)The Ice Age？ There weren't any societies then, just a group of people living in the cave.
W: That's what people used to think. But a new exhibit of the America museum of natural history showed Ice Age people were surprisingly advanced. You may never hear of it.
M: Oh, really？ In what ways？
W: (20)Well, Ice Age people were the inventors of language, art, and music as we know it. And they didn't live in caves, they built their own shelters.
M: What did they use to build them？ The cold weather would have killed off most of the trees so they couldn't have used wood. Of course they couldn't live in the ice blocks.
W: In some of the warmer climate, they did build the houses of wood. In other places, they used animal bones and skins or lived in natural stone shelters.
M: How did they stay warm？ Animal skin wails don't sound very sturdy(坚固的).
W: (21)Well, it says here that in the early Ice Age, they often faced the house towards south to take the advantage of the sun, a primitive sort of solar heating.
M: Hey, that's pretty smart. But when night comes, it is still a problem to keep warm.
W: They had some solution. People in the late Ice Age even insulated their homes by putting heated stones on the floor. They also have some creative ways to make their life better.
M: All these sound interesting. (22) Can I read that magazine article after you're done？ I think I can use some of the knowledge for my recent paper.
W: Yes, sure.

An embarrassing experience
It was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport. I had cabled London from Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happening before I reached my flat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods liable to duty. It was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy. I was, for whichever reason, so tired that I could hardly stand, and to the question, "have you read this？" I replied with extreme foolishness," Yes, hundreds of times. "
"And you have nothing to declare？"
"Nothing."
"How long have you been out of this country？"
"About three months."
"And during that time you have acquired nothing？"
"Nothing but what is on the list I have given you.
He seemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, was utterly unexpected.
"Where did you get that watch？"
I could have kicked myself. Two days ago, when playing water games with a friend in the bath, I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER, and it had, not unnaturally, stopped. I had gone into the market and bought, for twelve shillings and six pence, an ugly time piece that made a strange noise. It had stopped twice, without any reason, during the journey.
I explained, but I had already lost face. I produced my own watch from a pocket, and added that I should be grateful if he would confiscate the replacement.
"It is not a question of confiscation," he said, "there is a fine for failing to declare dutiable goods. And now may I please examine that Rolex？"
It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband; then he began to search my luggage.
When did the writer arrive at London airport？
