W:I’m sorry,man.Then what are you going to do now?
M:I’m looking for a job.Mary doesn’t know yet.I spent the last three days staying at this coffee store.She thought I went to work as usual.
W:That’s not the way to solve the problem.Did you check the classified ads in the newspaper?
M:Yes,but I don’t think they’ll work out.I find some good ones,but I’m not qualified though.
W:Listen,I’ll see what I can do,OK?You now go home and tell Mary the whole story.She is your wife.She’ll understand.
M:I just don’t know how to bring it up.Well,all right.She has the right to know it,anyway.
W:You are right.
听第10段独白,回答第17至20题。
(Text 10)
In Japan there are many beliefs.I will tell you some.A lot of Japanese believe that if you put a piece of snake skin into your wallet,you are going to become rich or find money.Snakes are a symbol of money and wealth.Some people believe the snake is an animal of God,so they never kill snakes.People say if you kill a snake,you will lose your money.Many Japanese say if someone finds a white snake,he will be lucky in life.Actually,some people put a picture of a white snake on the wall.The second belief is about sleeping.Japanese can’t fall asleep with their heads to the north because a dead person is always buried with his head to the north.It is believed that death welcomes someone who sleeps with his head to the north.The last one is about the number four.Four is an unlucky number because the number four has the same pronunciation as the word “death” in Japanese,so most people tend to avoid it and most hotels don’t use the number four.
