听力原文：W: Look, I don't want to be a nuisance, but I'm afraid I'm not happy with my room.
M: I'm sorry about that, madam. What's the matter?
W: Well, frankly, the state of decoration is appalling ...
M: Ah, yes, madam. That room is due to be redecorated next week.
W: Also, the window won't open ...
M: Won't it, madam? I'll get George to come and look at it.
W: ... and I can't get any hot water in the shower.
M: Ah, perhaps you didn't run the water long enough, madam.
W: I ran it for four or five minutes. That should be long enough.
M: George ... George ... Hart, will you go up to room 43 ... and check the shower and see if you can open the window ...
W: Look, I'm sorry but I'd like another room.
M: Shall we see if we can sort out these little difficulties first, madam?
W: As far as room 43 is concerned, I don't mind what you do, but I want a clean room, in reasonable decorative order, with windows that open and a shower that works.

Preparing for Tests Ideally it should be love of learning, achievement, and self-improvement that prompts all learning. But the average student is probably motivated by a more tangible, immediate, and pressuring reason—the reqirement to take and pass tests. Few high school students are not concerned with the aptitude and achievement tests that they must take to get into college. Even students not planning to attend college will take placement, adaptability, and promotion tests if they are to succeed in their field. Promotion in the armed services does not depend on physical prowess (本领) and length of service. It depends, instead, on the ability to study and pass promotional tests. You need to understand the importance of tests, the best methods of preparation, the common sense required for both a physical and mental approach to them, how to read instructions and questions correctly, and how to answer the way the test or teacher expect you to answer. This is one of the most valuable psychological benefits that can come from your education. Attitude towards Tests Dr. Francis P. Robinson in his book, Effective Study, poses a question: 'Did you ever thank a teacher for giving a test?' At first glance you are not likely to find much in your thinking that would help inspire a 'Yes'. The teacher spends a lot of time preparing the test questions. After you have taken the test, the teacher spends many hours carefully evaluating your paper. Mistakes are marked so that when your paper is retruned you can go over them and perhaps write in corrections. Then you will not make the same mistakes again. Test as a Personal Battle Do you, like many of your fellow students, consier the test or examinations as a personal battle which the teacher wages in an attempt to defeat you, or do you see it as a contest in which one tries to outwit the other? If this is your attitude towards tests, you probably do one of two things when the teacher returns your paper to you. One, you throw it away without bothering to do more than glance through it to see where points were taken off. Or two, without checking an imcomplete answer against the facts as studied, you approach the teacher and demand to know why points were taken off. This is the most negative of approaches. The difference in attitude can be seen in the difference between two questions: 'Why did you take off points on this question?' and 'What should I have included that I did not?' Fear of Taking Tests Another attitude that you should avoid is that of fear. Fear of taking test results in tension and disturbed thinking. These, in turn, produce blind spots (not being able to remember answers that you knew ten minutes before the test) and careless mistakes. This fear also keeps people from venturing into new areas in life. They may visualize the new method, the better tool, or the strong bridge, but they hesitate until someone else realizes their dreams, Fear prevents success on tests and examinations because fear conditions the mind for failure. Students who are afraid start in a State of confusion and disorder. Thus they throw away the advantages they have gotten by preparation. Students who approach tests with fear are almost sways characterized by the following: (1) Their grade is considerably lower than their daily recitation grades, sometimes as much as twenty points lower. (2) They complain about the teacher—insufficient explanation, lack of detailed review, etc. (3) They find fault with the test materials—too long, not the type of questiA．YB．NC．NG

Among the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction (科幻小说). Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kinds of people. Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories. It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors (原型) can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books are often concerned with the presentation of some forms of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories. Most of classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last one hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, to mention just two well-known authors, have been translated into many languages. Modern science fiction writers don't write about men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future worlds which are a reflection (反映) of the world which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones (含意) . In an age where science fact frequently overtakes(超越) science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to come to terms with a continually changing view of the world.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．Science fiction is fairly new in literature.B．Science fiction is rather popular with people today.C．Science fiction often deals with some forms of ideal society.D．Hundreds of books classified as science fiction are printed every year.
