听力原文：W: Hi, Sam, I hate to bother you but I wonder if I could have a word with you？

M: Sounds so serious. What's up？

W: Well, the landlord just informed me that he's going to increase our rent by two hundred. I'm wondering how you feel about it.

M: How do I feel about it？ No way! In our tenancy agreement, it says he will have to give us a notice three months in advance if he wants to increase the rent.

W: Yeah, that's right! It's gotta be three months later. Well, I think he realizes his rental fee is below the market rate and he must be feeling a bit ripped off when he could be charging a couple hundred extra. What do you think Sam？ Should we agree to the raise or find somewhere else？

M: Good question. I'm not sure either. The location we're at now is quite convenient. Close to the grocery and near the subway. It'll be hard to find another location like this one.

W: I wonder whether he'll allow room for negotiation. Perhaps a hundred dollars instead of two. Maybe he might be more willing to give a bit if we speak to him right way.

M: Well, he seems to be a nice guy to talk to. But what if he refuses？ Would you go for two then？

W: Well, I guess I would, since it'll be hard to find such a convenient location. Besides, it's close to my school and I can sleep a little later in the mornings.

M: Ha! I figured that's what you'd be concerned about. Well, I have to give it some serious thought. I'm not sure I can afford to cough up an extra hundred a month just to make sure I can sleep in an extra 15 minutes.

W: Didn't you get your loan recently？ That'll cover what you need. Besides, if you could just stop spending so much on cafeteria snacks you'd have lots of money to spare.

M: Yeah, but I'm thinking of getting a new laptop.

W: Well, I tell you, there aren't a lot of apartments that are cheaper, even with this new increase.

M: I know, so when does he want us to come back on this？

W: He told me to let him know this weekend.

M: Sure, by then I should be able to make up my mind.

Passage Four

Friends become a child’s chosen family. If his social life is going well, he gains confidence. If he has trouble connecting, it hurts and can make him feel sad and withdrawn and lonely.

1. Help your child communicate. Naturally outgoing kids have an easier time expressing their interest in other children than shy ones do. But you can help build this skill through practice. Ask your child about his favorite games and toys. Praise him for specifics when he shows interest in other people:” You were so nice to let Roger talk about his little dog. I am proud of you.”

2. Keep play short and sweet. Parents should keep early play date short, so no one gets too tired and everyone has fun. Schedule the next one soon after that, so kids can quickly build on their comfort foundation.

3. Know your child. If your child is bossy, tale with him and agree beforehand on which toys will be shared and which ones should be put away because your child just can’t seem to share them. If you have a shy child, match him with a younger child so he has a chance to be the leader.

4. Help your child help others. Encourage your child to be a better friend by helping him include others in play. If you see someone being excluded, don’t ignore it. This is an opportunity to work on your child’s ability to understand others. “Rachel is beingleft out. That must make her feel very sad. Can you think of a way to include her in the game？”

5. Help your kids help themselves. If your child is the one who’s being ignored or treated badly, teach him to speak up.

48. Which word can best describe a child who is good at connecting？

A Bossy B Confident C Proud D Showy

an accident in his father's harness shop.His father, determined that Louis should not suffer the usual fate of blind persons at that time and become a beggar, kept him in the village school until he was ten and then entered him in the institution des Jeunes Aveugles in Paris.Louis learned to read from the three books engraved in large raised letters in the Institution library.He did exceptionally well both in academic work and at the piano and the organ, and was soon helping to teach the younger children.

In 1819, the same year that Louis entered the Institution, Charles Barbier, an army captain, reported to the Academy of Sciences on a system of raised dots and dashes which enabled soldiers to read messages in the dark.Later, Barbier brought his invention to the Institution.After experimenting with it, young Braille produced a writing system using only dots, from which he gradually devised 63 separate combinations representing the letters in the French alphabet.At the request of an Englishman, he later added the letter “w”, accents and punctuation marks, and mathematical signs.Although government bureaucracy prevented immediate official adoption, his system was used at the Institution as long as the director, Dr.Pignier, was in office.Pignier’s successor insisted on returning to the officially approved former system, but students continued to use Braille's method secretly.Eventually, its superiority was established and it was adopted throughout France.
