W: How did you enjoy the film that you saw last night?

M: I left the cinema before it was over. It was boring.

W: Why are you back home so soon? You should be on your way to the swimming pool.

M: I know, Mom. When I got to the pool, I couldn't find my swimsuit in my bag. I only had my glasses and membership card.

M: Rose, I'm sorry to say I can't see the bus. The bus is always late.

W: I know we have been waiting for it for at least twenty minutes. If it doesn't come in another five minutes, I advise we should go to the library on foot.

听下面一段独白，回答第17至第20四个小题。

A rich man had a lazy son. He wanted his son to be hardworking and responsible. One day, he told his son to go out and make some money. If not, he couldn't have his meal at night. The boy was afraid and he cried in front of his mother. On seeing tears in her son's eyes, the mother gave him a gold coin. In the evening, the son showed his father the coin. The father asked him to throw it into a well. The son did as his father told him at once. The father was wise and guessed that the coin was from his wife. The next day, he sent his wife to her parents' town and asked his son to go out and make some money again. With nobody helping him, the son had to go to the market for a job. Finally, a shopkeeper told him that he could pay him a gold coin if he carried the boxes to his house. The son couldn't refuse, and after three hours, he succeeded in carrying all the boxes to the man's house and got the money. He was tired as he returned home and showed the money to his father. His father asked him to throw it into the well. The son almost cried out,“Father, my body is aching. It's not easy for me to earn the money.”The father smiled.“One feels the pain only when the fruits of hard work are wasted.”
