B Some problems are difficult to solve. But there are a lot of number expressions that can help. For example, if we put two and two together, we might e up with the right answer. We know that two heads are better than one. It is always better to work with another person to solve a problem. Some problems have only one solution. You cannot be of two minds over this. But with any luck, we can solve the problem on two shakes of a lamb’s tail. In other words, we could have our answers quickly and easily. Sometimes we can kill two birds with one stone. That is, we can plete two goals with only one effort or action. But we must remember that two wrongs don’t make a right. If someone does something bad to you, you should not do the same to him. If you are going out with your girlfriend, or boyfriend, but you don’t want another friend to go along on your date, you can just say to your friend: two’s pany, three’s crowd. When I was a young child in school, I had to learn the three R’s. These important skills are reading, writing and arithmetic. These three words do not all start with the letter “R”. But they have the sound of “R”. My teacher used to give three cheers when I did well in maths. They gave praise and approval for a job well done. Some of my friends were confused and did not understand their school work. They were at sixes and sevens. In fact, they did not care if they finished high school. But they were happy when they pleted their studies and graduated from high school. They were in seventh heaven. They were on cloud nine.

C During my junior year of college, a group of us drove a car and “discover” a new suburb(城郊 ) every month. At first, we all agreed that we had e to college in this major city to escape what we thought were our boring lives in our various places of origin, but after a time, we realized that it would be impossible for us to turn our backs on our old lives pletely. The first stop was typically some old diner, which reminded each of us of one from our various hometowns. There we’d usually sit, chat with the restaurant’s owner, drink a cup of coffee, and figure out which new and exciting place we’d be driving to next. Even now I can remember one diner in Maryland, whose sign we could see from the highway. Although we had all agreed that we had to go to a new town each time, we agreed a few times to break the rules and e back to this place. After we had taken nourishment(營(yíng)養(yǎng)物 ) for our “big night out”, we would then drive on. We would usually just follow our noses to the kinds of places we liked to visit in these towns, typically stopping by the biggest supermarket we could find. There we’d buy instant noodles and soda, and other types of foods we all remembered from childhood. We went to as many places like this as we could。每段對(duì)話或獨(dú)白讀兩遍。 第一節(jié)（共 5小題：每小題 ，共 ） 聽(tīng)下面 5段對(duì)話。每段對(duì)話僅讀一遍。 8. What did the woman fet to do? A. Pass on a message. B.
