【原文】

W: This is the last apartment we have in your price range, and it is by far the nicest of the three. You can see it has a great view over the city, and it is a good price considering its location.

M: Wow, you’re not kidding! That’s a great view over the harbor!

W: Isn’t it? And these windows let in a lot of sun during the day to keep you warm…in the summer, at least.

M: Anything else that’s important to know?

W: It’s got everything - washer, dryer, dishwasher…you name it. There’s an extra room for storage, or you could even turn it into an office, if you’d like.

M: Hmm. I wonder how I would get my furniture all the way up to the 13th floor, though. That could be a problem.

W: There’s an elevator for that. It goes all the way down to the underground parking.

M: Okay. What about the bills?

W: Heating and water are included in the rent, although electricity, cable TV, and Internet access are not. Rent is $3,000 per month.

M: All right. The first place we looked at included everything, correct? The basement suite?

W: Yes, prices are a little different outside the city. That’s why it’s $1,600 cheaper.

M: I see. And the studio? That was $2,000 a month, right?

W: Yes, but I seem to remember you saying you were worried about the noise at night, due to all the bars close by.

M: True. Well, I have a lot to think about. Thank you for your time.

【题目】 Dogs love to get out and stretch their legs, which not only helps to keep them in shape, but enables them to keep the extra pounds off. Pet hiking has been popular recently, getting dogs off the sidewalk.

Three years ago, Denver resident Brittany Redding was stressed out, working 60 hours a week while studying in graduate school full-time. The only thing that helped was taking her four dogs hiking. “That’s when it hit me that I should do that as a job.” she says. After graduating in June 2016, she founded Take a Hike. Her company, like a number of others around the country, takes dogs to explore beyond the neighborhood.

Before taking on the tracks, Brittany meets with each dog and his or her owner to get a sense of the pet’s character. Then she schedules a meet-and-greet with other dogs that will join the hike to be sure to match their personalities. Each hiking is about two hours long and includes transportation to and from the track for around $70 per outing. “Hiking allows dogs lo meet new friends and explore new tracks, smells, and wildlife,” she explains.

Michael Mizenko thinks sending his pet, Ajax, on weekly hikes with Take a Hike has made Ajax a happier dog. Over the past two years, hiking has taught Ajax how to stay off pavement, be more social and remain calm in the car. “It has made him a flexible easygoing guy.” Michael says.

【题目】 Jazz guitarist Joel Harrison came of age in 1960s and 70s' Washington, but he never saw it as a place to build a career as an adventurous, progressive musician. Everywhere he's gone, however, he's taken the sounds of the city with him.

'Growing up in that area allowed me access to a lot of different kinds of music,' says Harrison, 61, who's now based in New York after living in Boston and San Francisco. 'Southern music traditions-old-time music, bluegrass, country as well as jazz and R&B.'

D.Touring the country.
