[07:19.87]Johnny Holly came into the bank and went up into one of the clerks.
[07:25.77]"I want to cash these travellers'checks,please--one hundred pounds,"he said.
[07:32.17]The bank clerk took the checks and then asked Johnny for his passport.
[07:38.28]After looking in all his pockets Johnny remembered that he'd left it back in the hotel.

[07:51.66]"I'm Johnny Holly--the singer.
[07:55.66]You've probably heard my records and seen me on TV dozens of times."
[08:01.85]Just then the manager of the bank appeared and the situation was explained to him.
[08:08.46]"It's quite simple," said the manager.
[08:12.14]"The only way to show us that you're really Johnny Holly is to sing us one of your songs."
[08:19.43]Johnny picked up the checks and put them back in his pocket.
[08:24.34]"If I sang to you for only a hundred pounds,

[09:15.88]Listening Passage 2
[09:19.88]Most British families live in houses.
[09:24.26]Perhaps you think this is not surprising.
[09:28.76]After all,where else can people live?
[09:33.35]In fact in some countries most people live in flats or apartments.
[09:40.36]So do some people in Britain of course,
[09:44.46]but in British towns it is more usual to find rows of houses rather than blocks of flats.
[09:54.46]A typical British house is semidetached
[09:59.45]and has a garden at the front and the back
[10:04.13]at least that is the impression you get if you look at the advertisements in magazines
[10:11.52]and on TV.
[10:14.60]In fact a lot of people live in terraced houses,
[10:20.37]and the rich live in detached ones.
[10:24.76]In Britain over 50% of families buy their own houses;
[10:31.37]the others rent their homes.
[10:34.95]British families are quite small usually.
[10:39.55]An average family consists of a mother,a father and 2 or 3 children.
[10:47.44]It is quite rare in Britain for grandparent,aunt and uncle
[10:54.05]to share the house with the family.
[10:58.64]However,families often share the house with dogs,
[11:04.55]cats,goldfish and even rabbits which they keep,not to eat,but as pets.
[11:13.64]Question 6) Where do most British families live?
[11:19.83]Question 7) What is a typical British house?
[11:26.12]Question 8) What kind of family is an average British family?
[11:33.41]Question 9) Which of the following can be counted as a family member?
[11:41.22]Question 10) What can we learn from the passage?
