M: House-sitters who do that sort of thing probably aren\"t paid then.
W: Usually they\"re paid anyway just because the homeowners don\"t want to make a fuss. But if the homeowner reported it, then the house-sitter wouldn\"t be able to get another job. So why don\"t you apply?
M: Yeah, I think I will.

A.Car equipments. √ B.Replicas of human organs. C.Chinese gardens. D.Animal models. 解析:[听力原文]
Very rapidly, 3D printers have spread from scientific labs to industrial workshops to private homes. The range of available machines is on display at 3D print shows, like the one held last November in London, from sophisticated models that can print complex objects, such as replicas of human organs, to more affordable machines that make children\"s toys or parts for home appliances. A German firm recently displayed a prototype of a car chassis (汽车底盘) printed in one piece, while a Chinese manufacturer advertised a house created in a 3D printer. With the help of a computer, practically anyone can print exact copies of a variety of objects, and potentially violate the law. Julie Samuels, a lawyer from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, says, \"If a certain design that you want to print is covered by copyright, then you print that, and you are infringing on someone\"s copyright.\" Several decades ago, legislatures and the music industry were equally slow to adjust when suddenly anyone could copy music, first to magnetic tapes and now electronic media. But just as in the music industry, the founder of the website 3DPlus . me, Cydni Tetro, says she expects to see 3D licenses very soon. \"All of those companies are in very active engagements right now about how they\"ll deploy 3D printed products over the next year, and we\"re going to see that.\" 3D printer designer Diego Porqueras says owners of 3D printers and copyright owners should come to terms. The lack of legislation related to 3D printing will hardly stop the technology from spreading, but experts say they hope the new laws will not punish people for printing a copy of something for their personal use.
What are on display in the 3D print show of a German firm? A.Redesigning something that has been published. B.Downloading something for personal use.
C.Printing something that is covered by copyright. √ D.Spreading something that is not well-known. 解析:[听力原文]
What kind of action might relate to infringing on copyright according to the lawyer? A.They developed very slowly. √ B.They prohibited downloading music. C.They stopped tapes from circulating. D.They slowed down technology development. 解析:[听力原文]
What do we know about the laws on music duplication decades ago? A.Copyright owners should give people more rights to print things. B.Copyright owners should ban printing for personal use. C.3D printer owners should slow down the technology development. D.3D printer owners should reach an agreement with copyright owners. √ 解析:[听力原文]
What does the 3D printer designer Diego Porqueras advise to do?

A.Jefferson\"s views about commercialized agriculture. B.International trade in the nineteenth century. C.Improvements in farm machinery in the United States. D.Farmers\" loss of independence. √ 解析:[听力原文]
What was the most popular myths about the United States in the 19th century was that of the free and simple life of the farmer. It was said that the farmers worked hard on their own land to produce whatever their families needed. They might sometimes trade with their neighbors, but in general they could get along just fine by relying on themselves, not on commercial ties with others. This is how Thomas Jefferson idealized the farmers at the beginning of the 19th century. But by the mid-century sweeping changes in agriculture were well under way as farmers began to specialize in the raising of crops such as corn or wheat. By late in the century revolutionary inventions in farm machinery had vastly increased the production of specialized crops and extensive network of railroads had linked farmers throughout the country to the markets in the East and even overseas. By raising and selling specialized crops, farmers could afford more and more finer goods and achieve much higher standards of living but at a price. Now farmers were no longer dependent just on the weather and their own efforts. Their lives were increasingly controlled by the banks, which had power to grant or deny loans for new machinery, and by the railroads which set the rates for shipping their crops to the market. As businessmen, farmers now had to worry about national economic depression and the influence of world supply and demand on, for example, the price of wheat in Kansas. And so, by the end of the 19th century, the Jefferson\"s era of the independent farmer had come to a close.
What was the major change in agriculture during the 19th century? A.Crop production became increasingly specialized. √
B.Economic depressions lowered the prices of farm products. C.New banking laws made it easy to buy farmland. D.The United States increased its agricultural imports. 解析:[听力原文]
What was one result of the increased use of machinery on farms? A.Farmers should pay the price for the increased farm products. B.Farmers became more dependent on loans from banks. √ C.Jefferson established government programs to assist farmers. D.Farmers relied less on foreign markets. 解析:[听力原文]

A.Improve relationships. B.Control patients\" pain. C.Prevent heart disease. D.Improve concentration. √ 解析:[听力原文]
It is common knowledge that music can have a powerful effect on our emotions. In fact, since 1930s, music therapists have relied on music to comfort patients and help control pain. Now psychologists are confirming that music can also help relieve depression and improve concentration. For instance, in a recent study, 15 surgeons were given some highly stressed math problems to solve. They were divided into three groups: One worked in silence, and in another, the surgeons listened to music of their choice on headphones; the third listened to classical music chosen by the researchers. The results of the study may surprise you. The doctors who got to choose their music experienced less stress and scored better than the others. One possible explanation is that listening to music you like stimulates the Alfa-wave in the brain, increases the heart rate and expands the breathing. That helps to reduce stress and sharpen concentration. Other research suggests a second relation between the music and the brain: By examining the students\" blood after they listen to a variety of classical music collections, the researchers found that some students showed a large increase in endorphin(安多芬), a natural pain reliever. This supports what music therapists have known for years: Music can help rejuvenate or soothe the patient.
According to the psychologists, what can music help? A.The surgeons liked to have music in the operating room.
B.The surgeons solved problems better while listening to music they liked. √ C.The surgeons preferred classical music.
D.The surgeons performed better when they used headphones. 解析:[听力原文]
What did the study done with the surgeons show?
A.It increased the students\" white blood cell amount. B.It increased some students\" energy level.
C.It improved the students\" ability to play musical instruments. D.A natural painkiller was released in some students\" bodies. √ 解析:[听力原文]
What effect did the music have on students exposed to classical music?
