听力原文：M: What would you wish for if I let you make a wish？

W: I'd wish I had a robot.

M: Why a robot？

W: a robot is clever, efficient, and obedient. It'll work with precision. And it will work round the clock without complaint.

M: Yes, it will free us from tedious and boring housework. But what would you do if you had a robot to work for you？

W: What would I do？ I'd make it work wonders. Things you may not even imagine possible.

M: But aren't you creating a world of machines, a world of cold, emotionless, mechanical creatures？

W: I don't think so. Robots can provide us with all kinds of entertainment imaginable, including both artistic and popular forms of entertainment. You may call them "cyber culture".

M: I don't like your "cyber culture". It's too general and abstract.

W: Well, for one thing, no human culture could match cyber culture in variety and creativity, you know.

M: It depends on what you mean by variety and creativity. I consider humans the most varied, sophisticated, creative and powerful creature on earth. Any mechanical culture is simply lifeless, and it's harmful to the human world.

W: Don't get so emotional. You know robots would willingly do the kind of work that is physically unbearable to humans. They would protect us from risking harmful hazards.

M: I see your point.

W: A robot can help with housework, too.

M: Yeah, and do physical exercise for you.

W: You're kidding. I'll do bodybuilding myself in the gym. Do you know what else I'd definitely do myself, even if I had a thousand robots？

M: What？

W: I'd do my study. If not, I'd be done. 1 fear robots might develop to such a degree that they would threaten our existence. I must study and learn enough theories and techniques to operate and control my robot, before it would begin to control me.

M: That's very sensible. Science is a sword with double blades. It benefits, and harms too, if things get out of control.

W: Right, we'll try to take advantage of its benefits and guard against any possible harm.

ted by defeat. Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze (分析) defeat and actually learn something from it in his next undertaking (从事的工作). Wrongly taking defeat for failure, you are sure indeed to fail, for it isn't defeat that makes you fail; it is your own refusal to see the guide and encouragement to success in defeat.

Defeats are nothing to be afraid of. They are common incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it, analyze it and learn why you failed. Defeat, in other words, can help to get rid of its own cause. Not only does defeat prepare us for success but nothing can cause within us such a strong wish to succeed. If you left a baby grasp a stick and try to pull it away, he will hold it more and moro tightly until his whole weight is hung up. It is this same reaction that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If you make full use of the power which defeat gives; you can compete with it far more than you are able to.

How much does the writer know about success？

A．He knows at least several examples of success.

B．He knows every success in life.

C．He knows every success that has been achieved by man.

D．It is not referred to.

听力原文：W: Wake up, Eric, time to rise and shine.

M: Ha, oh, hi, Jane, I must have fallen asleep while I was reading.

W: You and everyone else. It looks more like a campground, than a library.

M: Well, the dorm's too noisy to study in, and I guess this place is too quiet.

W: Have you had any luck finding a topic for your paper？

M: No, Prof Grant told us to write about anything in cultural anthropology. For once I wish she had not given us so much of a choice.

W: Well, why net write about the ancient civilizations of Mexico. You seem to be interested in that part of the world.

M: I am, but there is too much material to cover. I'll be writing forever, and Grant only wants five to seven pages.

W: So then limit it to one region of Mexico, Say the Uka town. You've been there and you said it's got lots of interesting relics.

M: That's not a bad idea. I brought many books and things back with me last summer, that would be great resource material, now if I can only remember where I put them.

A．Reading.

B．Sleeping.

C．Doing research.

D．Planning a trip.
