听力原文:M: It is good to have some company for the drive. It’s a long way to Edinburgh, and it’s very boring if you are on your own.

M: Well, you are lucky because I should have been going yesterday, but something happened to delay me so I postponed my trip until today.
W: Is it all right if I put my bag on the back seat?
M: Yes, of course.
W: It started to rain just as I left the house this morning and my clothes and shoes are wet through. Would you mind if I take off my shoes?
M: No, of course not. I don’t mind. Go ahead.
W: Thanks.
M: Oh, don’t forget to put your seat belt on! You can get fined nowadays, you know, for not wearing your seat belt.
W: Yes, sorry, I forgot. Could I open this window?
M: Well, I’d rather you don’t if you don’t mind. It gets very draughty when you open that window. But you can open the back window.
W: Is it all right if I go to sleep for a while?
M: Yes, of course. I’ll wake you up when we reach the next service station. I’ll need some coffee then.

听力原文: The key question for any only child is this: Why were you an only child? It's a key question for at least two reasons. If your parents had wanted several children, but could have you only, they are most likely to pour into you all the energy and attention that had been intended for several children. I call this the "Special Jewel" phenomenon. Only children, or special jewels often arrive when their parents are older-- usually in their thirties. These special jewels can become very spoiled and serf - centered. On the other hand, you may be an only child be cause your parents planned for only one and stuck to their plan. Your parents may give you a very strict and well-structured education to make you a little adult. Many only children grow up feeling unhappy because they always had to be such little adults.

听力原文:When you have a dog it is necessary to care for it very carefully. In return you will be loved by your dog.
The most important part of dog-care is cleanliness. Not only does the dog have to be kept clean, but his environment should also be clean. The bed he sleeps in can be made with anything like a rug or a dog mattress.
Proper feeding is also important for your dog's health. A dog should be fed in the same place and on a regular schedule. If your dog refuses to eat, don't force him. Remove his food and don't feed him again until his next regular feeding. Food should never be left before a dog for more than 30 minutes.
One important thing that many dog owners forget is exercise for the dog. Vigorous exercise helps build strength and keeps the dog healthy. A regular walk at a fixed time of the day is enough to help a smaller dog live a healthier end happier life. Large dogs, though, require a run in an open fid&
