听力原文： In the past 20 years, scientists have learned a great deal about sleep and dreams. They have discovered, for example, that sleep and dreams affect the way people feel. A good night's sleep, generally, makes a person happier in the morning.
Dreams also have a strong effect on the moods of people. However, who appears in a dream is more important than what happens. Every person has a special dream character. If this special character appears in dreams, people are happier after sleeping. If there are many people in one's dreams, this has a good effect. A person will wake up happier.
The moods of people affect their performance throughout the day. The level of one's moods rises and fails during the day. The less sleepy people are, the better they perform. And, usually they are more friendly, more aggressive, and more clear- thinking. Someday, scientists hope to be able to manipulate sleep in order to control the way people feel and perform.

In 1983, when oil process were till high in my area, I installed a ground-source heat pump in my brand-new, and insulated 1,600-square-foot house. It cost several thousand dollars more than comparable systems that use oil, gas, or wood, but I figured I' d recover my higher initial expense in a few years through lower energy bills.
True, my heat pump runs on electricity-an expensive commodity where I live. But most of its energy comes from the earth: a propylene-glycol solution circulates through 1,200 feet of two-inch-diameter plastic pipe buried three feet deep in a field next to my house. As it travels, the solution absorbs heat from the surrounding soil, even when soil temperature drops below freezing.
My ground-source heat pump also offers important benefits that have nothing to do with economics.
-Minimal fire hazard-no chimney, firebox, or heating elements-only pumps, fans, and a compressor.
-Cleanliness-no combustion products, thus no chance of my heating system polluting the indoor air, leaving scummy deposits on walls and furniture.
-Reliability-solid-state electronic controls and sealed beatings almost eliminate breakdowns.
-No maintenance-no wood to cut, ashes to haul, or chimney to clean.
-Convenience-The system runs automatically, even switching from heating to air conditioning as needed. I can simply lock the door and go away for a day, week, or month.
Not only did I expect to start saving on energy costs immediately, but I also expected those savings to grow over the years as oil process continued to soar. Since I was wrong about oil prices, the big dollar savings I' d hoped for haven' t materialized. Nevertheless, I am satisfied, all things considered.
The passage suggests that the author' s heat-pump system absorbs heat from ______.

A．soil
K.sun
L.a
M.a

'Have you a 【B9】 , Cathey?' said I.
'No, doctor, I have not,' said she with a simple expression that did not 【B10】 me a bit. As a doctor, you soon 【B11】 innocent(无邪的)looks.
'Well, you'd better 【B12】 and get one.' I said,' 【B13】 I'm not going to take you.' At this she laughed. After what seemed only a short time, she came and started working at my house. And you guess. 【B14】 ? She proved to be very 【B15】 and efficient(高效率的). Of course she was so 【B16】 that people who came to my house used to 【B17】 a remark about us. But that didn't hurt me at all.
