听力原文：M: Cindy, what is happiness in your mind?

W: Why ask? It's a difficult question. Different people may have different understandings of happiness.

M: You said it. But that is the assignment from my psychology professor.

W: Well, in my mind, happiness is supposed to be just a state of mind, not so closely related to material life.

M: OK. A state of mind. Anything else?

W: People ought to value what they already have got. They shouldn't always feel sorry for what they can't have.

M: Yes, I agree. But many people often get used to what they have and don't cherish them any more.

W: You are right. Maybe people can't be very happy by only staying at one place or staying still at one condition. I mean, if people get what they dream about, or they do better than they expected, they feel happy. And...

M: Hold it a second. I need to write what you have said down. Get what they dream about..., better than expected. All right. That's very helpful. Now, let's talk about what kind of specific things or condition that can make people feel happy. Take you for example.

W: Well, I said that I didn't mind material things a lot. But if I get some gifts very carefully chosen or made by my beloved relatives or friends, even though they may not be expensive, I would still be very happy.

M: So do I. Do you feel this kind of happiness lasts long?

W: Of course, whenever I take out the things and look at them, I know there are people who care about me and love me. My heart will be full of happiness.

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

23. What is Cindy's opinion on happiness?

24. According to the man, why cannot some people feel much happiness?

25. What kind of gifts will make Cindy feel happy?

听力原文：           An Interview with an Actress

Interviewer: Demi, you may not have impressed the critics this summer with Striptease. But you sure have gripped your fans. And it wasn't just adults that were fascinated by you this summer, you also provided the voice and look for the animated character Ezmeralda in Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame. At age 33. you are now the highest paid actress in motion picture history. Looking back, did you ever imagine as a child that you would end up having this kind of a life? That you would end up being an actress, did that occur to you?

Actress: Um, I think it's... I don't know if this is corny to say, but I feel that I am living that dream of the little girl.

Interviewer: Demi, I wanted to ask you, you were paid 12 and a half million dollars for this film Striptease, what does it mean to be the highest priced female in the business now?

Actress: First of all, it is very meaningful in this business for women. It just so happened that it happened to me but it doesn't matter that it was me. It could have been anyone of us. I mean it's nice that it was me, and it's a nice kind of ego boost and it's flattering, but the fact is the more important element to it and the thing that makes me feel very proud is that the fact that they were willing to step up and say that what I was gonna contribute to this film was worth what they wanted to pay me, it means the perception of all women in Hollywood changed as of that moment as did their salaries. And for that I feel extremely, extremely proud.

Interviewer: Some critics say that you would not have gotten 12 and a half million dollars for doing Striptease if you hadn't stripped.

Actress: Well, I would help them to understand one thing, which is when they asked me to do this they never asked me to be naked and they never asked me to even show them that I could dance. And that I could have asked for a body double, and that per my contract, I am not requested to be naked in any way. It was of my own choice as it is with the women who do this action for a living.

Interviewer: Why was it your own choice to be naked?

Actress: One, because I felt that if I'm gonna do it, that f really need to do it. And if I want really to take advantage of the opportunity to step into this world, to understand what their lives are, to try that on Then I need to really do it so that I can speak to you and really know that I have the confidence to say to you, this is what my experience is, not well what I think the experience is.

Interviewer: Was that fun?

Actress: Yes, it was incredible. It was great. And you know I would have done it for less. I would.

Which of the following statements is TRUE?
