题目内容

听力原文: People enjoy taking trips. But what arc the reasons they leave home? One reason is for education. People travel because they want to broaden their horizons, to learn about other people and other places. They' re curious about other cultures. When people are tourists, they get a quick look at different ways of living. Even a short look at another kind of lifestyle. is an important lesson. On a trip, a person can learn directly by visiting museums and historic spots.
What does a tourist learn who sees the art museums, visits the historic palaces and other scenic spots in Paris and shops along the river Seine? He gets a vivid picture, a real life of the French people. He learns about their attitudes, how they feel about business, beauty and history.
what about the tourist who goes to Hong Kong? Does he get the same information that he could get from a book? He might read that Hong Kong is crowded, that there' s less than 200 square meters of space for each person, but seeing and feeling the lack of space will impress him much more. He might read that there' ve nearly 200 vehicles for every kilometer of roadway, but the sight of so many vehicles parked along the roadside will be a much more vivid lesson. The tourist to Hong Kong will never forget the contrasts, the straight vertical lines of the tall modem buildings and the moving lines of boats that people live in.
(33)

It was Friday, the day of the field trip on which Miss Joan would take her class to pick apples.
Miss Joan enjoyed picking apples with her students. She smiled as she led her students to the bus that would take them to the Greenly Apple Orchard (果园) .
The bus ride was bumpy and the kids were a little noisy, but still Miss Joan was smiling.
The bus stopped in front of the Greenly Apple Orchard and the class got off quickly and quietly. Miss Joan made sure everyone was there. "What a glorious, sunny, apple picking day," Miss Joan announced with her grandest smile.
Mr. Greenly was there to greet them. "Let's see, there are eighteen children and two adults at three dollars each. That will be sixty dollars, please."
Miss Joan held up the brochure in her hand. "It says that the price is two dollars each," she pointed out. "That's what I collected from everyone."
"We've had to raise the price," Mr. Greenly stated.
"You sent me this brochure after we made our reservation," Miss Joan complained, "and it says two dollars!"
"Miss Joan, if you look at the bottom of this brochure," Mr. Greenly said, "you'll notice very important statement."
Sure enough, in very tiny letters, it said, "Prices are subject to change without notice."
Miss Joan was determined to keep her good mood. She took a twenty dollars bill out of her own purse and handed it to Mr. Greenly with the forty dollars she had in an envelope. "Now children, do you all have your baskets?" Miss Joan called out. "Remember, each of you can pick as many apples as possible."
Mr. Greenly said, "You can't pick as many apples as possible."
"I beg your pardon? Miss Joan was not smiling now. "The brochure says, 'ALL YOU CAN PICK'!"
Mr. Greenly pointed to the tiniest letters Miss Joan had ever almost seen. It also says, "Terms and conditions of group reservations are subject to change without notice."
Miss Joan's good mood was now history. She didn't want to set a bad example for her students, so she said in a calm and quiet voice, "We're going home, give me our money back, please."
How many dollars did Miss Joan hand to Mr. Greenly?

A. 20.
B. 40.
C. 60.
D. 18.
