听力原文： We have met the enemy, and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey-pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it's hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. "Most of the infections we think of as human infections started in other animals," says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.

It's not just that we're going to where the animals are; we're also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen's pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. "I don't think it's fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them," says Isaksen.

"Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing," says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug may be kind at first. But some strains may become harmful. Monkey-pox doesn't look like a major infectious disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.

Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

听力原文： In today's class we'll be examining some nineteenth-century pattern books that were used for building houses. I think it's fair today that these pattern books were the most important influence on the design of North American houses during the nineteenth century.

This was because most people who wanted to build a house couldn't afford to hire an architect. Instead, they bought a pattern book, picked out a plan, and took it to the builder. The difference in cost was substantial. In 1870, for example, hiring an architect would have cost about a hundred dollars. At the same time, a pattern book written by an architect cost only five dollars.

At that price, it's easy to see why pattern books were so popular. Some are back in print again today, and of course they cost a lot more than they did a hundred years ago. But they're an invaluable resource for historians, and also for people who restore old houses. I have a modern reprint here that I’ll be passing around the room in a moment so that everyone can have a look.

M: So I wanted you to fix it. I'm sure it will be no problem, right？

W: Your sales slip, please？

M: Yeah, here it is.

W: I'm sorry, sir. Your warranty's expired.

M: Well, it ran out ten days ago, but I'm sure that you'll...you'll...fix the machine for free, because the machine was obviously defective when I bought it. I...

W: I'm sorry, sir. Your warranty has run out. There's nothing I can do:

M: No. No, look. No. I didn't drop it off a building or anything. I mean, what difference can ten days make？ I mean you... you can.

W: Sir, I'm sorry, we have the six -month rule for a reason. We can't...

M: Well, but you can bend the rule a little bit.

W: Make an exception for you. Then we'll have to make an exception for everybody. You could say it's only a month, it's only two months.

M: I just lost twenty dollars worth of tapes.

W: Sir, I'm sorry, it's too late.

M: Paying for this is adding insult to injury. I mean, surely you're going to make good on this cassette player. It's...it's...it's a good cassette player, but it's just defective. I mean, I can't pay for this.

W: Well, sir, I'm tarry, you should have brought it in earlier.

听力原文： At a certain time in our lives we consider every place as the possible sites for a house. I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, one after another, and I knew their prices.

The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place. But before the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just what I gave for it.

The real attraction of the Hollowell farm to me was its position, being about two miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded on one side by the river, and separated from the highway by a wide field. The poor condition of the house and fences showed that it hadn't been used for some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apple trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said.

I was not really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden, but I don't think I was ready for a large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted. It makes but little difference whether you own a farm or not.
