听力原文:W: Hi. Tom. How things get along with the preparation for the annual meeting documents?
M: It's coming along. But I've been staring at the computer screen for hours and my eyes hurt.
W: Yeah Typing the words on the screen really make your eyes dry and tired. You should take a break.
M: I can't. The deadline is approaching.
W: You know, I read about computers and eye problems recently. The article says that they are usually caused by not blinking your eyes enough.

听力原文:W: Alexander, you speak quite good English. How did you learn a foreign language so well? You know English is really a headache for me. I just don't know how to learn it well.
M: Well, when learning a foreign language, I would surround myself in the language, the target language, that I wanted to learn.
W: Surround oneself in the language? I think it is difficult to do that. Can you explain how you do it?
M: Uh, for example, I would watch a movie in that language, uh, which would help me keep motivated to learn vocabulary and phrases.
W: That sounds interesting.
M: Yeah, you'll have a lot of fun by doing so.
W: I see. A little hit of practice every day is very important to language learning.
M: Yes. Regular practice is also better than practicing a lot in one day. Learning a language well needs patience and perseverance.
W: Then what else did you do to learn a foreign language?
M: Well, I would keep a situational notebook.
W: What is that used for?
M: Ur, for example, in a restaurant, you use a certain phrase over and over again, and so if you can remember just one particular phrase in each setting, then you can immediately speak that language and have more confidence and you get more out of learning the language, I think.
W: Really? I'll try that. Thank you for your advice.
M: You're welcome.

听力原文:W: Good evening! Welcome to our Talk Show program. Our guest today is Mr. David Smith, who had the experiences of studying abroad for seven years and then returning back home. Well, Mr. Smith, do you think going abroad was the hard part?
M: I don't think so, but returning back home was really hard.
W: Why?
M: Well, for many students, returning back to their home countries can be a very confusing experience.
W: Re-entry Shock! That sounds quite interesting. Can you explain it?
M: For example, many students who come to the United States experience freedoms they have never enjoyed in their country.
W: Sure, such as freedom from family, freedom from cultural norms they didn't like and freedom from the pressures of working in a real job.
M: However, too much freedom and unstructured life can lead to other problems. Students sometimes skip classes, stay out late, and engage in activities that their families and cultures might not approve of, but students want to enjoy "freedom" while it lasts.
W: So when students return back to their countries, they can struggle with fitting back into the cultural norms and family expectations of the past.
M: Yes. Naturally, depression is possible and a loss of self can result.
W: Then what can students do to minimize this Re-entry Shock?
M: First of all, keep in contact with your family and friends while you are abroad. They will be your first source of advice and support once you return.
W: What else?
M: Second, have a clear plan what you will do when you return. Start looking for a job now or apply to enter a school months before you return. Re-entry Shock can be greatest when you have nothing to do when you return.

A.How to go abroad for study.
B.How to enjoy the freedom abroad.
C.How to look for a job after returning back from abroad.
