听力原文：W: David, sorry for my school board meeting last night so late. I've been working on a special project with the school board, and I like your opinion on it.

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. M: Blinking？ I thought I just needed new glasses. W: when you blink, the movement of closing and opening your eyes, even though it happens really fast relaxes your eyes. M: That makes sense. W: People using computer tends to stare at the screen and blink less often than they normally would. M: That is what I am doing. And I am suffering from the dry eyes. W: That is one of the typical symptoms. M: But what does it have to do with the computer？ W: The article I read about the office workers found that the workers averagely blink 22 times a minute when relaxed But just 7 times a minute while looking at the text on a computer screen. M: Wow That's quite a difference. W: Yeah. So you need to blink your eyes and take a break from the computer M: I wonder if using some kind of eye-drops will make me feel better. W: That might help.But the best prescription is to take a break and rest your eyes M: Ok. Let's go get some coffee. I can finish this later tonight. (23) A．Something goes wrong with his computer.

M: Aren't you a bit young？ I've allowed qualified seniors to take the course and they usually have a hard timekeeping up. W: I know, but the geology of the American West is my favorite interest and I've done a lot of reading in the field. Last semester I took Prof. Burman's course and I didn't find it challenging enough. M: I see. You certainly aren't one of those students who are out for easy grades. W: I should say not.

I'm working on three different papers: anthropology, English literature, and history. W: Wow, that is a lot of work. M: Yeah, and what's frustrating is that I'm studying the nineteenth century British Empire in all three classes, but I can't just write a single paper for all three. W: Why not？ M: The professors won't let me even if I make it three times as long as the suggested length. W: That's too bad. Could you write your papers on three aspects of one topic？ M: Hmm. What do you mean？ Do you have something in mind？ W: Well, let's see. Hmm... Maybe you could do something with Romanticism, like, ohh.., write your anthropology paper on the cultural basis of Romanticism, and, uh, your history paper on the influence of the Romantic poets on British foreign policy, and, OK, and your English paper on an analysis of some Romantic poems. M: Hey, that's not a bad idea! I've already started the research for one of the papers, so I can use that. What can I do to repay you？ W: You want to write up my chemistry paper for me？ M: I'd love to, but I've never taken chemistry, so I'm not sure you'd like the results.

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. (23) A．How to go abroad for study.
