听力原文:M: Hello, professor Johnson.
W: Hello, Tony. So what shall we work on today?
M: Well, the problem is that this writing assignment isn't coming out right. What I thought I was writing on was to talk about what a particular sport means to me when I participate in.
W: What sport did you choose?
M: I decided to write about cross-country skiing.
W: What are you going to say about skiing?
M: That's the problem. I thought I would write about how peaceful it is to be out in the country.
W: So why is that a problem?
M: I'd like to start describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods. I keep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep going. Cross-country skiing isn't as easy as some people think. It takes a lot of energy, but that's not part of my paper, so I guess I should leave it out. But now I don't know how to explain that feeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together. It's not like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds roll by. That's different.
W: Then you'll have to include that in your point. The peacefulness of cross-country skiing is the kind you earn by effort. Why leave that out? Part of your point you knew beforehand, but part you discovered as you wrote. That's common, right?
M: Yeah, I guess so.

“Everything happens for the best,“ my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “If you carry on, one day something good will happen. And you‘ll realize that it wouldn‘t have happened if not for that (1)disappointment. “
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college in 1932, I had decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sports announcer. I hitchhiked to Chicago and(2)on the door of every station--and got turned down every time.
In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn‘ t risk hiring an(3)person. “Go out in the sticks and find a small station that‘ll give you a(4),“ she said. I thumbed home to Dixon, Illinois.
While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I applied. The job(5)just right for me.
But I wasn‘t hired. My disappointment must have shown. “Everything happens for the best. “ Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to(6) job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter Macarthur told me th

As I left his office, my frustration boiled over. I asked aloud, “How can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can‘t get a job in a(8)station.“ I was waiting for the elevator when I heard Macarthur calling, “What was you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?“ Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to(9)an imaginary game. At last, Peter told me I would be broadcasting Saturday’s game!
On my way home, as I have many times since, I thought of my mother‘s(10): “If you carry on, one day something good will happen. Something wouldn‘t have happened if not for that previous disappointment.“

But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But she was much brighter and smarter than we boys knew at the time. She had noticed something in the suburban houses she cleaned -- books. So she came home one day, snapped off the TV, sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. "You boys are going to read two books every week," she said. "And you're going to write me a report on what you read."
We moaned and complained about how unfair it was. Besides, we didn't have any books in the house other than Mom's Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were: "I'll drive you to the library."
So pretty soon there were these two peevish boys sitting in her white 1959 Oldsmobile on their way to Detroit Public Library. I wandered reluctantly among the children's books. I loved animals, so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started leafing through them.
The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder. It was about beavers. For the first time in my life I was lost in another world. No television program had ever taken me so far away from my surroundings as did this verbal visit to a cold stream in a forest and these animals building a home.
It didn't dawn on me at the time, but the experience was quite different from watching TV. There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes. And I could return to them again and again with the flip of a page.
Soon I began to look forward to visiting this hushed sanctuary from my other world. I moved from animals to plants, and then to rocks. Between the covers of all those books were whole worlds, and I was free to go anywhere in them. Along the way a funny thing happened: I started to know things. Teachers started to notice it too. I got to the point where I couldn't wait to get home to my books.
Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of pediatric neurosurgery at John Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore. Sometimes I still can't believe my life's journey, froma failing and indifferent student in a Detroit public school to this position, which takes me all over the world to teach and perform. critical surgery.
But I know when the journey began -- the day Mom snapped off the TV set and put us in her Oldsmobile for that drive to the library.
We can learn from the beginning of the passage that
A.the author and his brother had done poorly in school.
B.the author had been very concerned about his school work.
C.the author had spent much time watching TV after school.
D.the author had realized how important schooling was.

"Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him."
"There's something you should know," the son continued, "he was injured pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mine(地雷) and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to live with us."
"We're sorry to hear that, son. But, maybe we can help him find somewhere to live."
"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."
"Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden to us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own."
At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building. The police believed he had killed himself.
