听力原文：Interviewer: Can you still remember the thrill of it? I mean the first time you actually ride out there, out in front must be ...

Man: Yeah, yeah, it was certainly a big thrill, but it was an evening event. It was the last race and it was almost dark by the time we'd finished and when I got home it was about ten or eleven o'clock, so there was very little time to think about it or do anything. And I had to be up at about half five the next day for my job, so unfortunately it was straight back to work really.

You hear part of an interview in which a man is talking about winning his first horse race.  What does he say about it?

听力原文： A: Did you find Xavier, Allison?

 B: Yeah, but the class was moved to another building, so I got lost and I was late by 20 minutes for the class at 8 am.

 A: Don't worry about it. It was a freshmen class, so I'm sure that you weren't the only person who was late. How was your first biology class?

 B: It's seems like the first day is just going over the syllabus and finding out what will be expected of us. There will be three short papers in my biology class, and one class presentation. The professor said he would take daily roll, but we could be allowed three absences without affecting our grades. I hope that I'll be able to deal with all of the tests!

 A: I've just finished my nursing class. The professor said we had to do a considerable amount of reading. And I still have an English class at 11.

 B: So do I. we must be in a same class] Is that with Dr. Thompson?

 A: Yes, that's the one! At least there'll be a familiar face in class!

 B: Look at the time! We'd better start off to class!

 A: Which way are we going? The English class is in McKane Hall, isn't it?

 B: Yeah, I think it's on upper campus. We'd better hurry! It's a bit of walk.

19.When does the conversation probably take place?

20.What time is Allison's classes today?

Passage 2

Every American family has its own traditions on Thanksgiving Day, and mine is no different. Once the national holiday arrives, my mom rises early to make the meal. She puts a turkey in the oven, chops carrots and bakes pies. I'm sorry to say that the men in the family—my dad, my younger brother and myself—rarely pitch in to help. Our job is to wash the mountain of dirty dishes after the meal is over.

Around 2 p.m. every Thanksgiving Day, family members seat themselves around the kitchen table. Plates of turkey, vegetables, salad, rolls and pies cover it. At this point, we can hardly keep ourselves from drooling（流口水） all over our fancy clothes, but it's not yet time to eat.

First, we must bow our heads, close our eyes and say a prayer of thanks aloud to God for giving us everything we have. Under normal circumstances, I would have no problem making a list of things I am thankful for. I grew up in a loving family. My parents, who aren't wealthy, took out loans to help me pay for university.

But, the funny thing is, every time I sit down for Thanksgiving dinner and try to say a prayer of thanks, my mind usually goes blank. I think it has something to do with my growling（咕咕叫） stomach and all of that food sitting right there under my nose.

Eventually, though, we all finish our short prayers and dig in. To be sure, the day includes other highlights—visiting family and watching football. But usually around 6 p.m. we are all ourselves stuffed like turkeys and thankful to have a nice warm bed to sleep in

             Dolphins in the Bay of Plenty

 Swimming with groups of dolphins, known as 'pods', is beck,ming a popular holiday activity for the adventurous tourist. Our travel correspondent reports.

 'You must remember that these dolphins are wild. They are not fed or trained iii any way. These trips are purely on the dolphins' terms.' So said one of our guides, as she briefed us before we set out for our rendezvous.

 No skill is required to swim with dolphins, just common sense and an awareness that we are visitors in their world. Once on board the boat, our guides talked to us about what we could expect from our trip.

【B1】 __________________

 The common dolphin we were seeking has a blue-black upper body, a grey lower body, and a long snout. We had been told that if they were in a feeding mood we would get a short encounter with them, but if they were being playful then it could last as long as two hours.

【B2】__________________

 Soon we were in the middle of a much larger pod, with dolphins all around us. The first group of six swimmers put on their snorkels, slipped off the back of the boat and swam off towards them.

【B3】 __________________

 Visibility was not at its best, but the low clicking sounds and the high-pitched squeaks were amazing enough. The dolphins did not seem bothered by my presence in the water above them. Sometimes they would rush by so close that I could feel the pressure-wave as they passed.

【B4】 __________________

 I personally found it more rewarding to sit on the bow of the boat and watch as the surface of the sea all around filled with their perfectly arching dolphin backs. Some of the mole advanced snorkellers were able to dive down with these dolphins, an experience they clearly enjoyed.

【B5】 __________________

 In fact, they are very sociable animals, always supporting each other within the pod. The guides are beginning to recognise some of the local dolphins by the markings on their backs, and some individuals appear time after time.

【B6】 __________________

 Indeed, the pod we had found, on some hidden signal, suddenly turned away from the boat and headed off in file stone direction at high speed. We watched as hundreds of backs broke through the water's surface at the same time, disappearing into the distance.

【B7】 __________________

 They had finally finished feeding and were content to play alongside as they showed us the way home. The sun beamed down, and as each dolphin broke the surface of the water and exhaled, a rainbow would form. for a few seconds in the mist. It was an enchanting experience.

 A This was a magical experience and, as time in the water is limited, everyone rotates to get an equal share. We spent the next two hours getting in and out of the boat, and visiting other pods.

 B An excited shriek led us all to try something that one girl had just discovered, and we all rushed to hang our feet over the front so that the playful creatures would touch them.

 C A spotter plane circled above the bay, looking for large pods of dolphins to direct us towards. On deck, we watched for splashes on the surface of the water.

 D These include mothers gently guiding their young alongside, either to introduce them to the boat, or to proudly show off their babies. Yet, when they become bored with playing, they leave.

 E After 20 minutes, we sighted our first small pod. The dolphins came rushing towards the boat, swimming alongside and overtaking us until they could surf on the boat's bow w
