题目
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.
(20)
A．Where they should move.
B．How to negotiate with the landlord.
C．How to fight the increase.
D．Whether to accept an increase in rent or move.

第9题：
When I was about 12 1 had an enemy,a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings．Week by week her list grew:I was skinny,I wasn't a good student,I was boyish,I talked too loud,and so on．I put up with her as long as I could．At last,with great anger,I ran to my father in tears.
He listened to my outburst quietly．Then he asked,"Are the things she says true or not?"
True?I wanted to know how to strike back．What did truth have to do with it?
"Mary,didn't you ever wonder what you are really like?Well,you now have that girl's opinion．Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true．Pay no attention to the other things she said."
I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true．Some of them I couldn't change(like being skinny),but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change．
For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy．He refused to take it.
"That's just for you,"he said．"You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself,once you hear it．But you've got to learn to listen,not to close your ears in anger or hurt．When something said about you is true you'll know it．You'll find that it will echo inside you."
Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments．
What did the girl's enemy like to do?A.Talking with he
B.Pointing out her weak point
C.Reporting to the teache
