听力原文:M: (22)Honey, I think this spring is a good time for us to start looking.
W: We should plan to move out of here before July. I'm tired of living in apartments.
M: I know, dear. I am too. But we've just been too busy to look for a house.
W: We need to find a good realtor.
M: Not necessary. (23)If we use a realtor to find a house, it will be more expensive. Realtors always get a commission. If the realtor helps us find something, we have to pay him.
W: But doesn't a realtor help with the contract? I thought they take care of all the legal troubles. We're new in this country. We don't know all the laws of buying a house. And also, the realtor will inspect the house. He can tell us if the house has any problems.
M: Of course we need a home inspector. But we can hire an inspector on our own. (24)And as for the legal problems, I have friends. They can help us.
W: So how can we find a house if we don't have a realtor?
M: It takes a little more time. We have to check the ads in the paper. Probably also there are special real estate magazines with ads. Then we have to drive to the homes and look at them. It's best to find someone who is selling by himself.
W: Well, that will take a long time.
M: It is. But buying a house is very important; you can't be too careful.
W: (25)I want to look in the papers today. Maybe we can see something we like.
M: Alright. (25)I'll buy a newspaper when I go to the drug store.

A. House-buyer and house-seller.

听力原文:M: Can I help you?
W: Yes, I need to buy a computer for this semester. I was told it is cheaper to buy computers here.
M: Well, you heard right. We have great discounts for students.
W: I don't know much about computer, and (19)I want a desktop computer with large memory.
M: Well, (20)I highly recommend the Power Macintosh G3. It comes with 64 megabytes of total memory. It should be enough for any student needs you might have. We have a special deal on right now. I should tell you about it, as it only goes until next Tuesday. (20)If you want one, you can actually get 30 percent off the usual sale price.
W: Wow. That's really good. Hey, wait. Is this an Apple computer?
M: Yes, it's a Macintosh. It's Apple. Macintosh and Apple are the same thing.
W: (21)I don't want Macintosh, as nobody in the university uses Macintosh. I want PC.
M: Well, most of the students and professors in the university here use Macintosh. May I ask where you're from?
W: I'm from China.
M: Well, I know that in most Asian countries Apple is not very popular. But here in America, especially in universities and publishing companies, Apple is very commonly used.
W: But I need a computer that can handle writing in Chinese.
M: There are several Chinese writing programs you can use with Macintosh. Chinese is no problem for Apple.
W: Hmm. I think I should ask some of my friends for advice before I make a decision. I'm sorry.
M: No, don't be sorry. It's reasonable to ask your friends. Here is my card, if you need any help.

Fire can help people in many ways. But it can also be very dangerous. Fire can heat (加热) water, warm houses, give light and cook food. But fire can burn things, too. It can burn trees, houses, animals, or people. Sometimes big fires can burn forests.
Nobody knows for' sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting old stories about the first time a man or a woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope (绳子) and brought fire down.
Today people know how to make a fire with matches (火柴). Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of paper, and then it might burn a house.. A small fire can become a big fire very fast. Fires kill many people every year. So you must be careful with matches. You should also learn to put out (熄灭) fires. Fires need oxygen (氧气). Without oxygen they will die. There is oxygen in the fire. Cover a fire with water, sand, or sometimes with your coat. This keeps the air away from a fire and kills it. Be careful with fire; and it will help you. Be care less with fire, and it will burn you.
How did people begin to use a fire?
A. We know how people began to use fire.
B. Nobody knows how to make a fire.
C. It was an Australian who started a fire.
D. We are not sure how people started a fire.
The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an【22】served meal will improve a child's appetite. Never ask a child【23】he likes or dislikes a food and never discuss likes and dislikes in front of him or allow【24】else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother refuses vegetables in the child's hearing he is【25】to copy this procedure. Take it【26】granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted for the meal because of a supposed dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small portion and let him come back for a second helping rather than give him as.【27】as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child【28】meal times, but let him get on with his food, and do not allow him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food so he can hurry back to his toys. Under【29】circumstances must a child be coaxed (哄骗)【30】forced to eat.
