It was in the spring of his thirty-fifth year that father married my mother, then a country school teacher, and in the following spring I came wriggling and crying into the world. Something happened to the two people. They became ambitious. The American idea of getting up in the world took possession of them.
It may have been that mother was responsible. Being a school teacher, she had no doubt read books and magazines. She had, I presume, read of how Garfield, Lincoln, and other Americans rose from poverty to fame and greatness, and as I lay beside her—in the days of her lying-in—she may have dreamed that I would someday rule men and cities. At any rate she induced father to give up his place as farmhand, sell his horse, and embark on an independent enterprise of his own. She was a tall silent woman with a long nose and troubled gray eyes. For herself she wanted nothing. For father and me she was incurably ambitious.
According to the narrator, his father's life used to be______.
A.quite poor
B.quite hard
C.quite happy
D.quite rich

听力原文: Going through cities and villages, I was attracted by Swedish national flags flying over houses and buildings which were ordinary family houses and offices. I noticed that on the road, all the cars' headlights were turned on even under the sun of June. Mr. Raiding explained that according to the new traffic regulations, drivers were required to keep the lights on day and night, which helped decrease the traffic accidents. Along both sides of the road, there were high fences used to keep the animals living in the forests from rushing onto the road. I could see little bare land in the country. In fact, fifty-four percent of the land is covered by forests and another ten percent by lakes and rivers. I was told that in Sweden nobody has the right to lay the land bare -- whoever cuts the trees Or spoils the grass must restore it right away. Whenever trees are cut, they are replaced by young trees at once.
Around Sweden, there is a notice in the bathroom of every hotel, which reads: "We care for our environment." In Sweden, you cannot see rubbish in streets, public gardens, rivers or lakes. The bottles are made of glass and the packages are made of paper or other natural materials which can be recycled. To make best use of their resources, Swedes never turn on the heating too high or the air-condition too low. The indoor temperature is always kept around twenty-five degrees Centigrade, no matter at home or in large hotels.
(33)
A.Because it would help decrease traffic accidents.
B.Because it was a Swedish custom.
C.Because it was always very dark in Sweden.
D.Because it was always cloudy and rainy in Sweden.

听力原文: The Robinsons were driving through Port Merlin Road when they heard a loud explosion. At first, they thought it was the noise of a plane. But, before long, they saw smoke rising a few blocks away and a little further on they came upon a crowd in the street and men with armbands directing the traffic. The way ahead was blocked and they were in a one way street, so they tried taking a short cut down a side street and soon found themselves in a bad traffic jam. The car in front of them stopped and couldn't start again. So Mr. Robinson helped the driver to push it out of the way.
In the meantime, two fire engines as well as ambulances and police arrived and the ambulance men began looking for victims among the debris. The police put up a barrier with a notice across the street leading to the building, which was badly damaged. They were also trying to stop sightseers from getting near. Two of the ambulance man heard noises while they were searching. It sounded like someone knocking, m they took tm-ns clearing away the bricks to get at the person under the floor beneath them. In the end, they succeeded in rescuing him.
Some of those who had narrow escapes were interviewed by press reporters. Apparently the explosion had been mused by a leaking gas pipe and it looked as if the firm which had recently fitted the pipes was responsible for the accident.

A.An automobile collision.
