book 7: tester-round content fixes

- Bob and Dave / Martha and Sally listening stories become their own dialogue
  activities; the What-Didn't-You-Hear questions REFERENCE them (the whole
  passage no longer sits inside the question prompt)
- Brutus the Cat: the full story is a dialogue activity, and the follow-up
  questions REFERENCE it (testers had to answer from memory)
- vocab tags moved to the first line that actually teaches the word
  (gate, dog/cat/bird, run/climb inflections, sky)
- long read-only paragraph lines split into sentence-sized cards
  (airports, circle definitions, winter yard)
- self-study wording: removed classroom "this week" phrasing
