Did anyone surviveM: No, everyone aboard, including the crew, was killed instantly.W: What were the circumstances Were they bad weather, a fire, or engine failureM: Apparently, there were some low clouds in the area, but mostly it was just miscommunication between the pilots and the air traffic controllers.W: Weren’t they both speaking in English, the official international aviation languageM: Yes they were, but the transition from poor quality radios was slightly distorted and the accents of the Spanish speaking controllers was so strong that the pilots misunderstood a vital instruction.W: How could a misunderstanding like that cause such a serious accidentM: The pilots were told to descend to 22,000 feet.

Questions 17～20 are based on the following passage. You now have 20 seconds to read Questions 17～20.Now, let me first give you a brief introduction to the American poet, Emily Dickinson. Emily Dickinson was America’s best-known female poet and one of the foremost authors in American literature. Born in Amherst, Massachusetts, Dickinson was the middle child of a prominent lawyer and one-term United States congressional representative, Edward Dickinson, and his wife, Emily Norcross Dickinson. From 1840 to 1847 she attended the Amherst Academy, and from 1847 to 1848 she studied at the Mount Holyoke Female Seminary (now Mount Holyoke College) in South Hadley, a few trips to Boston for eye treatments in the early 1860s, Dickinson remained in Amherst, living in the same house on Main Street from 1855 until her death. During her lifetime, she published only about 10 of her nearly 2,000 poems, in newspapers, Civil War journals, and a poetry anthology. The first volume of Poems of Emily Dickinson was published in 1890, after Dickinson’s death.Although few of Dickinson’s poems were formally published during her lifetime, she herself "published" by sending out at least one-third of her poems in the more than 1,000 letters she wrote to at least 100 different correspondents. Dickinson’s method of binding about 800 of her poems into 40 manuscript books and distributing several hundred of them in letters is now widely recognized as her particular form of self-publication. She also read her poems aloud to several people, including her cousins Louise and Frances Norcross, over a period of three decades.Well, that’s all about her life. Now shall we concentrate on her famous poem, "Success is Counted Sweetest". In which state was Emily Dickson born().
M: I really don’t know what to do this summer. I can’t afford to just sit around, and there don’t seem to be any jobs available.W: Why don’t you try house-sitting Last summer my friend Sally house-sat for the Gammons when they went away on vacation. Mrs. Gammon hired Sally to stay in their house because she didn’t want it left empty.M: You mean the Gammons paid Sally just to live in their houseW: It wasn’t easy. She had to mow the lawn and water the houseplants. And when Jodi house-sat for Mr. Johnson, he had to take care of his pets.M: House-sitting sounds like a good job. I guess it’s a little like baby-sitting-except you’re taking care of a house instead of children.W: The student employment office still has a few jobs posted.M: Do I just have to fill out an applicationW: Sally and Jodi had to interview with the homeowners and provided three references each.M: That seems like a lot of trouble for a summer job.W: Well, the homeowners want some guarantee so that they can trust the house-sitter. You know, they want to make sure you’re not the type who’ll throw wild parties in their house, or move a group of friends in with you.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 if the homeowner reported it, then the house-sitter wouldn’t be able to get another job. So why don’t you applyM: Yeah, I think I will. What/Who should students contact if they want to get a summer job().
