听力原文：M: How are your new neighbors, Nancy？
W: They seem nice enough, but they have a son who's driving me crazy.
M: What do you mean？
W: He comes home every night around 10 with his car windows rolled down and radio blaring. It stops as soon as he turns the car off. But by then Brian and Lisa are wide awake.
M: Oh, no.
W: Oh, yes. Sometimes it takes us till mid-night just to get them settled down again.
M: Have you tried talking to them？
W: We haven't even really met them yet except To say a quick hello. I hate to get off on the wrong foot.
M: You are not going to like them when you do meet them if you keep on complaining.
W: I know, but I feel stupid complaining. It's not as though he is blasting his stereo all night.
M: You said yourself it is driving you crazy.
W: Well, you know how early I have to get up to be here at the office. I'm just not getting enough sleep and neither are the kids. They're so irritable when I get home in the afternoon.
M: Maybe you could go over sometime with a little gift: a plant for the yard or something. Then you could ask about their son whether they have any other children and they' ll be sure to &ak about yours.
W: Yeah, and then what？
M: Then you could mention that the hardest thing at this stage is getting your kids to get sleep at night？
W: And keeping them asleep.
M: That's the idea. And you should do it soon. The longer you wait, the harder it'll be to do politely.

听力原文：M: Hi, Sarah. What's up？
W: Oh, hi, I just got out of a history class. I had to give a presentation.
M: How did it go？
W: Terrible. I'm sure I made a fool of myself.
M: Why？ Weren't you prepared？
W: No, it was not that. (23) I just get so embarrassed and nervous whenever I have to speak in front of a group of people. I stand up and my face gets red and then I get even more nervous because I know everyone can see me blushing.
M: It's not so bad to blush.
W: But it happens all the time. If the professor asks a question and I know the answer. I will blush like crazy if he calls on me. Doesn't that ever happen to you？
M: No, not really. (24)Maybe you should just try to forget about the people. Look at something else in the room, like the exit sign.
W: I guess I could try that. But I doubt it'll help.
M: You know we talked about this in psychology class. (25)Blushing, even though it's involuntary, is more or less a learned behavior.
W: What do you mean？
M: (25)Oh, children hardly ever blush at all. And among adults, supposedly, women blush more than men.
W: I wonder why？
M: I don't know, but I had a friend in high school, Brian Smith. It was really easy to make him blush. He turned red whenever a waitress would ask him for his order.
W: I'm not that bad. Well, I've got to get going for my next class. I'll talk to you later.

Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn't been born yet, or is a baby now. That's because the quest for a unified theory that would account for all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits. New math must be created before the problem can be solved. But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein emerging anytime soon.
For one thing, physics is a much different field today. In Einstein's day, there were only a few thousand physicists worldwide, and the theoreticians who could intellectually rival Einstein probably would fit into a streetcar with seats to spare.
Education is different, too. One crucial aspect of Einstein's training that is overlooked is the years of philosophy he read as a teenager—Kant, Schopenhauer and Spinoza, among others. It taught him how to think independently and abstractly about space and time, and it wasn't long before he became a philosopher himself.
"The independence created by philosophical insight is—in my opinion—the mark of distinction between a mere artisan(工匠) or specialist and a real seeker after truth, " Einstein wrote in 1944.
And he was an accomplished musician. The interplay between music and math is well-known. Einstein would furiously play his violin as a way to think through a knotty physics problem.
Today, universities have produced millions of physicists. There aren't many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical—and rewarding—efforts.
"Maybe there is an Einstein out there today, " said Columbia University physicist Brian Greene, "but it would be a lot harder for him to be heard. "
Especially considering what Einstein was proposing.
"The actual fabric of space and time curving？ My God, what an idea!" Greene said at a recent gathering at the Aspen Institute. "It takes a certain type of person who will bang his head against the wall because you believe you'll find the solution. "
Perhaps the best examples are the five scientific papers Einstein wrote in his "miracle year" of 1905. These "thought experiments" were pages of calculations signed and submitted to the prestigious journal Annalen der Physik by a virtual unknown. There were no footnotes or citations.
What might happen to such a submission today？
"We all get papers like those in the mail, " Greene said. "We put them in the junk file. "
What do scientists seem to agree upon judging from the first two paragraphs？
A．Einstein pushed mathematics almost to its limits.
B．It will take another Einstein to build a unified theory.
C．No physicist is likely to surpass Einstein in the next 200 years.
D．It will be some time before a new Einstein emerges.
M: No, I haven' t. Ugh. I had the worst day. I am so fired, kook, I promise I'll do it this weekend.
W: Listen, I know the feeling. I' m tired, toe. But I came home and I did my share of the housework. I mean, that' s the agreement, right？
M: All right. We agreed. I'll do it in a minutes
W: Come on. Don't be that way. You know, I shouldn't have to ask you to do anything. I mean, we both work, we both live in the house, we agreed that housework is... is both of our responsibility. I don' t like to have to keep reminding you about it. It makes me feel like an old nag or something.
M: Sometimes you are an old nag.
W: Oh, great!
M: No, it's just that I don't notice when things get dirty like you do. Look, all you have to do is tell me, and I'll do it.
W: No, I don ' t want to be put in that position. I mean, you can see dirt as well as I can. Otherwise - I mean, that puts all the responsibility on me.
M: It' s just that cleanliness is not a high priority with me. Them are other things I would much rather do. Besides, the living room floor does not look that dirty.
W: Brian.
M: Okay, a couple crumbs.
