听力原文： Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work, especially when you're a thin 14-year-old. That was me in 1940 —the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City's Pennsylvania Railway Station.

After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers. I'd like to join them, thinking, "Everyone else is doing it."

When I got home that night, I told my dad what I wanted to do. "You give an honest day's work," he said, looking at me straight in the eye. "They're paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that."

I followed my dad's advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since. Of all the jobs I've had. it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with people who steal. If one of my players were caught stealing, he'd be gone.

Whether you're on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can't trust one another, there's going to be trouble.

A．They were all thin, young boys.

B．They were all from poor families.

C．Many of them earned money in a dishonest way.

D．They could earn much, but they had to work hard.

听力原文： A fable is a short story which is not true. It is a story that teaches us a lesson. We call the lesson as moral. Fables are often about animals, like the one about the hare and the tortoise. Have you read that fable？ Which one have your read？ They are not always about animals, However. Here is a Chinese fable.

A fisherman called Ah Chong once went fishing, he lowered a line into the water, on which there were hooks. He intended to come back' later to collect the fish but the line began to feel very heavy so he hauled it into the boat. To his astonishment, a gold chain was on the hook. He hauled the chain into the boat but more and more chain appeared. Soon the bottom of the boat was covered by the glittering links of chain. "I shall be wealthy. I shall have jewels, silk clothes and hundrreds of servants," he thought. He went on pulling in the chain and did not notice that the boat was sinking under the weight of the gold chain. Finally, that boat sank to the bottom of the sea.
