听力原文:Policeman: Now, sir, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I had to look after the traffic on the road until some more police arrived. You're the driver of the blue car, I believe.
Mr Simpson: Yes.
Policeman: Just a few questions, sir. Do you fed all fight?
Mr Simpson: Yes, I'm... I'm fine now. I was a little shaken up at first.
Policeman: Well, I'll try not to keep you long. I just want a few details, and the rest of the information I can get tomorrow. Can I have your name and address, please?
Mr Simpson: Jeremiah Simpson, 15 Portland Crescent, Leeds.
Policeman: Have you got your driving license and insurance certificate with you?
Mr Simpson: Yes... Oh, here they are.
Policeman: M’ hm... Thank you... Oh... Yes, they're all right. Now, were there any passengers in the car?
Mr Simpson: Er yes, er my wife and a friend — a young lady. My wife was sitting in the back and her Mend in the front passenger seat.
Policeman: Where are they now?
Mr Simpson: The ambulance has just taken them to hospital. You spoke to the ambulance driver before he set off. Did he say anything about the young lady?
Policeman: He said that her injuries looked worse than they really were. The other woman -- that'd be your wife, I as same -- appeared to be suffering from shock.
Mr Simpson: Yes, I know. They advised her to go to hospital for a cheek-up, just in case...
Policeman: Mm. Was the young lady wearing her seat-belt?
Mr Simpson: No, unfortunately. I told her to put it on, but she couldn't adjust it. I didn't think it was worth stoppin the car because we were only going a few miles.
Policeman: Did she go through the windscreen?
Mr Simpson: No, she was very lucky. But she hurt her leg on tile dashboard
Policeman: Mm. It could've been much worse. Now, sir, will you tell me in your own words what happened?
Mr Simpson: Oh... Well, as you can see, I was travelling along this main road when suddenly er the other car came out of er that side street. It all happened so quickly. I just didn't see him until he hit me.
Policeman: I've just spoken to the other motorist and he says that you were speeding.
Mr Simpson: What?
Policeman: Is this true?
Mr Simpson: That's a lie. My wife and Becky'll tell you that I stopped at the pedestrian crossing just down there. You can see it's only fifty yards away. I could hardly have reached thirty miles an hour by the time I got here. Goodness knows what would' ye happened if I'd been going faster.
Policeman: The other driver said that he stopped at the junction. When he pulled out there was nobody coming, so you must at the junction. When he pulled out there was nobody coming, so your must have been speeding.
Mr Simpson: Well, it's not true. I've witnesses to prove it. He couldn't have stopped. The lighting is very good here along this stretch.
Policeman: Yes. He should have stopped. Why did you stop at the pedestrian crossing?
Mr Simpson: There were two old ladies on it. I'm always a bit careful with old people because they're likely to walk across the road without looking properly.
Policeman: I shouldn't worry, sir. We don't think you were speeding—even without measuring the skid marks.
Mr Simpson: Er, was he -- er, the other driver — drunk?
Policeman: I don't know yet. He's admitted that he's trod one or two drinks, but says it was only two half-pints. We're going to give him a breathalyser test to see whether he's over the limit. If he is, he'll be asked to have a blood test.
Mr Simpson: Well, I haven't touched a drop all night !
Policeman: No, sir. It's surprising how much a driver's breath

A driver.
B. A passenger.
C. A policeman.
D. doctor.

It seems that beauty and women are twins. Observe for yourself. Ads on fashion flood TV screen, radio programs, magazines and the streets. Whether they have realized or not, women are besieged (包围) by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes they will grow old and lose their charm. So who dares to neglect dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth?
But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their looks. The richness of their mind proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their looks. A woman who has experienced many troubles and may be called "aunt" or "granny" can still maintain her beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge, ability, a kind heart and concern for others.
In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concepts. People who keep a young mind will never feel old. Curious about new things and eager to learn more, they keep up with the tide. Plainly dressed women may have a type of beauty, which is pure and real.
Reading and learning is the best way to keep one youthful. Good books are fertile soil which can feed the flower of one's heart and looks.
Why does the author say that beauty and women are twins?

A. Women are born to be beauties.
B. Women like to show off their beauties
C. Women are proud of their beauty
D. Women try to maintain their beauty by dressing up

Whether the eyes are the windows of the soul is debatable, that they are intensely important in interpersonal communication is a fact. During the first two months of a baby's life, the stimulus that produces a smile is a pair of eyes. The eyes need not be real; a mask with two dots will produce a smile. Significantly, a real human face with no eyes will not motivate a smile, nor will the sight of only one eye when the face is presented in profile. This attraction to eyes as opposed to the nose or mouth continues as the baby matures. In one study, when American four-year-olds were asked to draw: people, 75 percent of them draw people with mouths, but 99 percent of them draw people with eyes. In Japan, however, where babies are carried on their mother is back, infants do not acquire as much attachment to eyes as they do in other cultures. As a result, Japanese adults make little use of the face either to encode or decode meaning. In fact, Argyle reveals that the proper place to focus one's gaze during a conversation in japan is on the neck of one's conversational partner.
The role of eye contact in a conversational exchange between two Americans is well defined. Speakers make contact with the eyes of their listener for about one second, then glance away as they talk; in a few moments they reestablish eye contact with the listener or reassure themselves that their audience is still attentive, then shift their gaze away once more. Listeners, meanwhile, keel) their eyes on the face of the speaker, allowing themselves to glance away only briefly. It is important that they be looking at the speaker at the precise moment when the speaker re-establishes eye contact. If they are not looking, the speaker assumes that they are disinterested and either will pause until eye contact is resumed or will terminate the conversation. Just how critical this eye maneuvering is to the maintenance of conversational flow becomes evident when two speakers are wearing dark glasses there may be a sort of traffic jam of words caused by interruption, false starts, and unpredictable pauses.

The author is convinced that the eyes are ______.

A. of extreme importance in expressing feelings and exchanging ideas
B. something through which one can see a person's inner world
C. of considerable significance in making conversations interesting
D. something the value of which is largely a matter of long debate
