听力原文:W: Elizabeth Martin speaking.
M: Dr. Martin, my name is Mark Johnson. My roommate, Benjamin Jones, is in your art history class.
W: Uhm Art History 5027
M: Yes. Well, he is sick and won't be in your class today. He asked me to bring his term paper to your office.
W: OK, the paper is due by 3 o'clock.
M: I have a class from 12. I'll bring it to your office after my class.
W: Well, I have a meeting this afternoon. So you can drop it off with the secretary of the art history department. She'll .see that I get it.
M: OK. I almost forgot. I'm a biology major. But my advisor told me that I need one more humanities course to graduate. I've noticed that you arc teaching a course on landscape painters next semester. Could you tell me a little bit about it?
W: Sure. Well, it's a course for nonart majors. We'll ha looking at several different painters and examining their works. We'll also look at the history and politics of the era in which they lived.
M: That sounds interesting. What else is required?
W: There is no final exam. And there is only one required book. But each student has to give a major presentation about an individual painter at the end of the course.
M: Hmm, it sounds good. Will you be in your office later today? I'd like to talk to you some more.
W: Well, my meeting's scheduled to last all afternoon. Why don't you stop by tomorrow? Any time in the afternoon. My office is in the fine arts building right next to the library.
M: Thanks. I'll do that.

As our van pulled up to the ranch (牧场) to start a three-month program for troubled boys, we passed a cowboy on his horse. Bill was the owner of the ranch. We made eye contact through the dusty window and he winked (挤眼睛) at me and touched the brim of his cowboy hat in welcome.
All summer long Bill and his ranch-hands taught us to ride horses, chop wood, and round up cattle. We started to understand the value of working with our hands. Knowing how important it was for boys like me to know that someone believed in them, he trusted us to do the job and do it right. We never let him down.
The last day at the ranch, Bill pulled me aside and praised me for the work I had done-not only on the ranch, but also on myself. He told me if I ever needed anything I could count on him.
Four years later, I took him up on that offer. I called him up and asked for a job. I told him how his confidence in me had given me the courage to change my life. He offered me a job on the spot. I’m proud to say that each summer I’m the one in the ranch to open the gate for a van full of young men who need someone to believe in them, so they can learn to believe in themselves.
The author’s first impression of Bill was probably his _________.
A.seriousness
B.friendliness
C.authority
D.generosity
