Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day the feelings were told that the island would sink, so all built boats and left, except Love. Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out(堅(jiān)持) until the last possible moment.
When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a big boat. Love said,“Richness, can you take me with you?”
Richness answered,“No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”
Love decided to ask Vanity(虛榮心) who was also passing by in a beautiful ship.“Vanity, please help me!”
“I can’t help you, Love. You are all wet and might destroy my boat,”Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by, so Love asked,“Sadness, let me go with you.”
“Oh…Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!”
Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her. Suddenly , there was a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. So thankful and happy, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed(欠) the elder, Love asked Knowledge, another elder, “Who helped me?”
“It was Time,” Knowledge answered.
“Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help me?”
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom(智慧) and answered, “Because only Time is able to understand how valuable Love is.”

李雷不知道該如何提高自己的英語(yǔ)聽力水平，于是他在校園BBS上留言求助，有四位同學(xué)跟帖回答了他的問題。
LiLei: Hi, everyboby. I’m Jimmy. I like English very much, but I really need some advice on listening . Who can help me?
Jenny:  Don’t get nervous before you start to listen to something. You need to relax. This will help.
Dr.Smith:The first sentence tells a lot the whole passage.for example,if, at the beginning , you hear “Welcome back BBC news---”, you know you will hear a piece of news, not a children’s story, or a science report.
Shirley: When you’re listening, try to do some thinking. For example, you can think of the following questions: What happened? When, Where and how? What was the result (結(jié)果)and what did the speaker want to tell us? In this way, you may understand the passage better.
Josh:  It’s important for you to remember some important facts. for example, if the passage is a science report , you should try to remember its results and how the scientists got them.
請(qǐng)根據(jù)以上內(nèi)容完成下面任務(wù)：以下A-D是針對(duì)上述解答內(nèi)容的提煉，請(qǐng)將它們分別與對(duì)應(yīng)的解答人配對(duì)：
