听力原文:W: May I help you?
M: Yes, my wife and I want to take a vacation this winter to some place wanner.
W: I understand. How much time do you have?
M: Only a week between Christmas and the New Year. That is the problem, you see.
W: Oh, no problem at all. I can get you on a flight to sunny Spain and Portugal leaving on Christmas and coming back New Year's Eve. And it will only cost you $500 a round trip.
M: Only 500? We were thinking of something less. $1,000 or a lot to spend for such a short time. If we had a month maybe, not just a week.
W: Do you know about the Florida Fun tour the airline offers? Everything is reserved for you. Your flight, a reserved hotel room, meals, and they even get you to and from the airport in Miami.
M: Actually we don't go in much for arranged tours. We like to do all that for ourselves.
W: Well, in that case, maybe we could just arrange your flight and the rest to you.
M: What else do you have to offer? Florida is not exactly our idea of a great vacation. What about some place a little different where few tourists go?
W: Oh, some place like Arizona, right? Or maybe New Mexico? Sunny, but quiet, relaxing.
M: Yeah, that sounds better--New Mexico. I'll talk to my wife about it and then return.
(20)

A. In Miami.
B. At a travel agency.
C. At an airport ticket counter.
D. At a hotel.

听力原文:M: I can't believe you're still driving around in this piece of junk.
W: I can't afford to buy a new car.
M: I'll bet you can't afford not to buy a new car.
W: What do you mean by that?
M: Have you ever kept a record of how much you spend to keep this car running?
W: Well, no. But I'm sure maintenance costs are not as much as a monthly payment would be.
M: Have you thought about your losses in pay from the days you've missed work because this thing won't start?
W: It can't have been that much.
M: There are also the tow truck fees; the taxi and bus fares when you have to resort to taking them, and the amount you spend on fuel for this gas-guzzler of yours.
W: All right. You've proved your point, but have you seen how much new cars cost these days?
M: You don't have to buy a new car.
W: Sure, I could buy a used car, but how could I be certain I wasn't getting a lemon? You know what used-car salespeople are like.
M: Why not get a used company car? You know, companies such as those that rent cars must provide their customers with new ones. The cars are well maintained, and there isn't the wear and tear on them that there is on privately owned ones.
W: I'll bet they're expensive.
M: Not anything like a new one.
W: Well, I'll give this new car idea of yours some thought.

听力原文:M: You must be pretty excited about your trip to Europe. When is it that you're leaving?
W: In just three weeks and I am excited, but there are still a few things I need to do before I go.
M: Like what?
W: Like renewing my passport, going to the travel agency to buy my plane ticket and figuring out what to do with my apartment while I am gone.
M: You're not going to give it up, are you?
W: No way, I'll never find another apartment around here. But I don't like the idea of paying three months, rent on an empty apartment, either.
M: I don't blame you. Perhaps you could sublet it.
W: Yes. But who to?
M: Hum, let me think. Oh, I know just the person, an old colleague of mine, Michael Lee is coming here to do some research this summer from June through August.
W: Well, that's exactly when I'll be away. It sounds ideal, as long as the landlord agrees.
M: Tell you what. I'll be calling Michael later this week anyway, so I'll mention it to him then.
W: Well, thanks, Bill. Let me know what happens. That extra money would really come in handy.

Einstein could not afford to pay for the advanced education he needed, because his family business had declined. Later, he and his family were forced to leave Munich to live in Milan, Italy, where they had relatives. As for him, the family did manage to send him to a technical school in Switzerland, and later to the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. In 1901, when Einstein was 22 years old, he began teaching, and in 1902, be went to work as a patent office examiner in Bern. Now able to pay his own expenses, he continued his schooling at the University of Zurich, where he received a doctor's degree in 1905. This was the period when he first began the research, which led to his famous theory of relativity.
Toward the end of his life, when Einstein was asked to explain his law of relativity to a group of young students, he said, "When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, you think it's only a minute. But when you sit on a hot stove for a minute, you think it's two hours. That is relativity."
What is Einstein's greatest contribution to human beings?

A. His teaching.
B. His theory of relativity.
C. His theory on advanced mathematics.
D. His research.
