Now, how long will we have before we have to be back here on campus for the next semester？ W: We've got about six weeks, I think. M: How about if we go to the coast？ It would be great to do some swimming and surfing. W: The coast would be good, but let's look at our other options. There are the mountains. They're nice and cool at this time of year. And we can do some bush-walking. There's also the desert, which I really enjoyed last year. M: What about going to Sydney？ I've never been there and they say it's a great city to visit. Lots of things to do there, I've heard. W: I agree Sydney would be good but there are too many tourists there at this time of year. And I'd rather get away from buildings and cars. There are enough of those around here.

W: I heard that, Aaron, but it's not surprising actually, because we haven't had as much rain as normal this year. M: Much more distressing, experts say, is that a drought has set in remarkably early and shows no sign of letting up soon ... The ground is still parched from last year's drought -- crops, plants and trees are being crippled at their most vulnerable time. W: Yes. The drought conditions are severe! There's a lot of death, dying and suffering out there! M: Well, if it could rain even a drop, things would be much better! And my flowers in the garden would come back in a heartbeat. W: I guess you might have to quit watering your garden. I heard that they are going to start rationing water. In fact, this morning I happened to hear on the radio that the reservoir had dipped below half its capacity this month and the volume of water entering the reservoir is the smallest in fifty years. M: Really! I thought that might happen. Great! There go my vegetables! W. I guess so. But think about Africa.

W: Yes, well, um, we've done a survey on local entertainment. Basically, we tried to find out how students feel about the entertainment in the town and how much they use it. So we've called our project "Out and About"... M: Yes, that's a good title! W: We wanted to find out how well students use the entertainment facilities in town... whether they get to see the latest plays, films... that kind of thing. Actually there were a lot of areas to choose from but in the end we limited ourselves to looking at two general categories: cinema and theatre. M: Right. W: OK. Well, first of all the cinema. In the town, there are three main places where you can see films. There's the new multi-screen cinema complex, the old park cinema, and a late-night odeon. In terms of audience size, the multi-screen complex accounts for 75% of all cinema seats, the park cinema accounts for 20% of seats and the late-night odeon has just 5% of seats. M: Yes, as is shown in your chart. W: As you probably know, the complex and the park show all the latest films, while the late-night cinema tends to show cult films. So, when we interviewed the students, we thought the complex would be the most popular choice of cinema... but surprisingly it was the late-night odeon. Most students said that if they wanted to see a film, they waited for it to show at the park because the complex is more expensive and further out of town so you have to pay more to get there as well. M: Yes, and that adds to the cost, of course, and distracts from the popularity, evidently. W: Well, next, we looked at theatres. There's the Stage Theatre in town, which is very old and architecturally quite beautiful. And there's also the large, modem theatre, the Ashtop, that has recently been built. But the thing about the theatres is that there's a whole variety of seat prices. Also, the types of performance vary... so students tend to buy seats at both and like using both for different reasons and if they want cheap seats at the Ashtop, they can just sit further from the front. M: And anything else？ W: Yes. What we did find that was very interesting is that there are periods during the year when students seem to go to the theatre and periods when they go to the cinema and we really think that's to do with the budget. There's a peak around November and December when they go to the theatre more and then a period in April and May when neither is particularly popular and then theatre viewing seems to tail off virtually while the cinema becomes quite popular in June and July. M: Mmm. I think you're probably right about your conclusions... (23) A．The entertainment on campus. B．The entertainment facilities students use in town. C．The kinds of films and plays students enjoy. D．The cinemas and theatres students like to go to.

(26) A．Effective self-management skills are key to academic and career success. B．If you spend a lot of time on your school work, you will become a good manager later. C．School work can be time-consuming and is likely to make you feel exhausted after class. D．Good management calls for more time and energy on the part of the academic staff.

It tells you a bit more about the school, the courses and the social activities we offer. Now, on the first page, there's an outline of this morning's activities.

RECEPTIONIST: Right. Where were we？ Yes, so, the Principal's talk will last about fifteen minutes and then the Director of Studies will talk to you for half an 【Q2】 hour about the courses and the different requirements for each. After 【Q3】 that, the Student Adviser will tell you about the various services and activities we offer to students.

It won't last long. ...................................................................................... STUDENT: But how do I find the Main Hall？ RECEPTIONIST: Right; if you look on the back of the booklet I gave you, you'll see a map of the school. Let me show you. Look; you came in through the Main Entrance, here, and now we're here at Reception. Now, to get to the Main Hall, you walk on to the end of this corridor in front of you and then you turn left. Walk along past the Language Laboratory and then past the Library, which is next to the Language Lab. on the same side, and facing you is the Main Hall, at the end of the corridor. You 【Q6】 can't miss it. STUDENT: So it's next to the Library, in fact. 【Q7】 RECEPTIONIST: Yes, that's right. STUDENT: I should be able to find that. And do you have a Computer Laboratory？ RECEPTIONIST: Yes, we do. STUDENT: Could you tell me where that is？ RECEPTIONIST: Cer

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. (23) A．He's offering some suggestions about learning foreign languages.
