W: Thank you very much for your trust, Peter. As your academic advisor I will try my best to help you. M: Thanks. It's about my major... W: Well, what's the matter？ M: I used to major in English, but now I have made up my mind to switch to Applied Linguistics, concentrating on Teaching English as a Foreign Language. W: So you want to switch majors？ M: Yes. But I wonder if it is possible. W: Well, usually we allow it, as long as you have enough credits. M: That's good news for me. I'm not interested in literature and that sort of thing. I want to be a real teacher, Professor. But I'm worried about the make-up credits. W: You usually do have to make up some credits when you switch majors. Are you OK on credits？ M: Not too many. I'll have to add about 12 credits as far as I can. figure from my transcript. Would you please let me know how many credits are required to get a master's degree？ W: Usually thirty-six credits are needed, ff you take five courses per term, you'll have enough credits after just two semesters. Usually each course is worth three credits. To get the six remaining credits you either prepare a thesis or take two more courses. M: Is there anything else besides the 36 credits for the master's？ W: You have to have an oral defense． M: I see．I really appreciate your help，Professor． W: Glad I can help．Good luck．Peter． (23) A．A literature professor.

Do you want to make any changes in your will？ M: I don't think that will be necessary, but you'll tell me if it is. I left everything, you remember, to my wife, and after her death, to my son Jerry. I've about $15,000 in shares of industrial companies. These bring in, after paying tax, about ＄1,125 a year.

M: Good morning. I hope I can answer your questions. W: Are people in rich countries happier than people in not-so-rich countries？ M: Well, I would say there is a relationship between national wealth and well-being. In other words, the economic wealth of a country does appear to reflect the overall well-being of its citizens. W: Does it mean that rich people in a country are happier than poor people？ M: In some poor Countries, satisfaction with one's financial situation does affect happiness. But once people are able to afford the basic necessities of life; having more money doesn't necessarily make them happier. W: What about rich places like Europe and United States？ Are income and happiness related？ M: Very little. Rich people are only slightly happier than the average citizen. W: I'm always wondering whether winning a lottery can bring happiness. M: Well, as a matter of fact, various studies show that lottery winners only get temporary joy. W: I guess wealth is like health. If you don't have your health or if you're extremely poor, you will be miserable. M: Yes, that's true. Happiness is wanting what we have rather than getting what we want. W: That's a nice way of putting it. In your opinion, do people become happier as their countries be come richer？ M: Well, if I take the case of the United States, from 1957 to 1996, the proportion of people who said that they were very happy declined from 35% to 30%. But during that same period, the average income per person in the United States doubled. W: So, you mean that a steady increase in a country's prosperity does not mean an increase in its people's happiness. M: That's right. What does the woman do？ A．A teacher of economics. B．A professor of studying happiness. C．A consultant on economic affairs. D．A specialist in political science.

W: Good morning. M: All right, houses. Is it the time to buy or sell a house？ W: Well, actually, housing looks like it's going to be a bust. The housing sales for this month were down 1.7%. That's the second month in a row. And the markets headed for a correction or a drop in prices. And it's important to know that mortgage rates have been up, so that's one of the big reasons that it's slowing down buying. And on top of that the other big indicator mortgage applications are down. Actually last week mortgage applications hit a three-and-a-half-year low. So what does all this mean？ If you are a buyer, I think you are gonna find some bargains out there. M: Ok! It is puzzled to both then by the middle of the year you really find bargains. All right, your jobs, is this gonna be the year to look for a new job because they're gonna be available or is this a year in which more people again will get laid off. W: This is good news on the job front, in November 215,000 jobs were added, that's up from 44,000 in October. December looks good. Companies out there say they're planning to hire in the first quarter of this year and there are still jobs shortages in certain areas like finance, health care and construction. M: Great to get some optimistic news. All right, Mellody, thanks again and have a great weekend. (23) A．There will be a boom in housing. B．The house market will suffer depression. C．The bank will exert positive influence on housing. D．It will hit a three-and-a-half-year low.

W: Don't worry, Sir. But I need some detailed information before I contact your issuing bank. Q: What did the man lost？ (17) A．Credit card. B．Passport. C．Traveler's cheques. D．Ｉ.Ｄ.card.

My life, by Joe Wrigley, will keep all fans of Joe's stories happy for hours. It explains a lot about where his ideas come from and gives a picture of what was happening in his life when he was working on his most successful books. I must say, though, that some of it is difficult to understand if you haven't read his other books. Now, for those of you who like a good cry, Goodbye to the fields, by Susan Marks, tells the sad story of John, a small boy who has to leave the countryside he loves when the family move to London because of his father's job. John and his mother would prefer to stay where they are. It's a long time before the family begins to feel comfortable living in the big city. There are plenty of books with helpful advice this week. First, the A-Z of photography would make a great present for anyone just starting out with a camera. It has everything you need to know to take really good photos, and learn about cameras, film, lighting and so on. This is not one for the experienced photographer, though — there's not much advanced information here. Turning to the kitchen, Cooking for one, by Adrian White, says on its cover that even people who hate cooking will find it useful. A month ago, I couldn't even boil an egg, but now I'm producing all sorts of dishes, some quite difficult, and, yes, they taste quite good, too. I'rn actually enjoying cooking now. I'm now going to try a new book about cooking Italian food. The last book this week is Holidays in Europe, by Mary Curtis. This is an enjoyable read, which will start your imagination working as you plan for next year's holiday. It doesn't matter that the writer doesn't talk about the famous places everyone visits, but describes lots of small places away from the main tourist areas. The maps are too small to be useful but the book is still good value for money. That's it for this week, then. Next week, there's a special report on giving books as presents, so if you've saved up your money and you're wondering what to get for a friend or relation for their birthdays, you might get some good ideas. I'll look forward to talking to you then. To really understand My life you need to A．read it very slowly. B．know about the writer's life. C．read the writer's other books.

AMINA: Oh, that's alright. I was just very anxious to hear what you think of it. You can see that I decided to change the topic - I had been interested in looking at Barings Factory. BRYSON: Oh, I think the hospital was a much better choice. In fact.., well... I have to 【Q21】 say that I thought it was good. AMINA: Oh？ BRYSON: There's still lots of work to be done... AMINA: Oh yes.., of course. BRYSON: But there's plenty of good ideas. It opens well and the first chapter is fine but the middle section really stood out for me... most interesting. 【Q22】 AMNA: That's amazing because I really didn't find it a bit easy to write... 【Q23】 BRYSON: How long did you work on the whole thing？ AMINA: Well, I spent about two or three weeks reading and doing general research and then I dashed the writing off very quickly.., so about four weeks in all. BRYSON: Well, that's about par for the course. You've got a while yet to make the changes. AMINA: Oh right.., no problem... BRYSON: Right. Let's have a look at my notes here. OK. Starting with section headings …. the broad divisions are good but you'll have to re-do the actual headings. Example I've made some suggestions in the margins... AMINA: OK. Thanks. BRYSON: Now, this information on local housing... I can see why you put it there but it 【Q24】 really isn't relevant to the approach you've taken. AMINA: I think I see what you mean. BRYSON: Now... what did I say about the interviews？ AMNA: I worked very hard on those. I really thought they were valuable. BRYSON: They are, Amina, but they're very complex and rather unclear at the moment. You're going to have to spend a bit of time making the data a lot clearer. 【Q25】 AMINA: OK... as long as I don't have to remove them altogether... BRYSON: No, don't worry. AMINA: What about the chronology.., the list of dates？ I wasn't sure whether I should rewrite those. BRYSON: My advice on that is to take them out. I feel it makes the whole piece appear 【Q26】 too simplistic. AMINA: OK, if it'll help. .......................................................................................................................................................... BRSON: Now, there are a couple of other books I'd like you to look at. Have you got a pen？ Right... Approaches to Local History by John Mervis... AMINA: Right... BRYSON: And then I think you need to think about ways of representing interview data. Have a look at Sight and Sound by Kate Oakwell. 【Q27】 AMINA: Sight and Sound. BRYSON: Then you know I'm going away on holiday next week... AMINA: Yes. BRYSON: So when you've made the changes I suggest you show the work to your 【Q28】 Support Tutor. AMINA: Support Tutor... right... BRYSON: Then you do the proof reading... 【Q29】 AMINA: Proof reading.., uh-huh. When by, do you think？ BRYSON: I'd aim for 29 June and after that you should get it laser printed.., but be &nb A．school. B．hospital. C．factory.

MAN: Yes. Thank the university to allow me to come to talk to you all afternoon. The reason for my visit here is to outline a problem that female international visitors and students have been having in the Darlinghurst area. WOMAN: We all heard that for the last month or so, thieves have targeted the area snatching handbags and backpacks from unsuspected women. Why in the Darlinghurst area？ MAN: As you probably know. Darlinghurst is very popular with tourists for shopping and sightseeing and it's also a popular meeting meeting place for students. There are lots of cafes and coffee shops and unfortunately, we have had some thieves taking advantage of these conditions. WOMAN: Can you tell us about the thieves more specifically？ MAN: Sure. The thieves are young and fit. They grab the bag from the woman's shoulder or out of her hand when she's involved with something else, you know, deep in conversation or window-shopping, so they grab the bag and then run away very quickly. By the time the victims realize what's happened, the young man's out of sight and there's little hope of catching him. WOMAN: You mean the thieves usually attack female by themselves？ MAN: They used to. But now it seems they're becoming braver arid targeting women in groups. Age doesn't seem to matter to the thieves, it's just a matter of opportunity. They look for someone who isn't consciously protecting their bag and for a place with an easy getaway, you know, not too crowded. WOMAN: Are any of these thieves caught？ MAN: We've only had two of these bag-snatchers almost caught when the victims chased after them. Unfortunately, on both occasions, as soon as the women reached the thief, he threw the bag right at them and then escaped. WOMAN: Mr. Gray, can you give the students some suggestions to protect themselves from these brazen thieves？ MAN: Yeah. We don't encourage you to chase these thieves because we don't want to see anyone get hurt. So, what can you do？ Well, unfortunately, not much but we are asking that you be aware of this danger. If possible, hang onto your bags carefully and never leave your bags on the ground at one of the many cafes when you have a coffee or a meal and don't leave it on a chair or table-top even if you think it is in your sight. We also caution you about carrying anything too valuable in your bags. It seems like the thieves arc not only after cash. They've been using credit cards illegally on the Internet m purchase goods or access pornographic sites. So it is vital that you keep your credit card details and report to the police if it is stolen. Questions: 19.What is the problem that Mr. Gray describes to the students？ 20.Why is it difficult to chase the thieves？ 21.How many thieves have the police caught？ 22.Which of the following does Mr. Gray suggest the students to do？ (39) A．Women being robbed. B．Thieves stealing bags from international tourists. C．Darlinghurst residents being robbed. D．Burglaries happening in Darlinghurst.

W: Don't worry. The boss was very impressed and he said your layout was right on target. Q: What does the woman imply？ (19) A．The manager was depressed by the man's layout. B．The manager thought the man's layout was quite accurate. C．The manager thought the man was good at target-shooting. D．The manager was impressed by the man's skills in target-shooting.

W: Well, the business trip was successful but the train arrived four hours late and I didn't go to bed until four o'clock. Q: Which of the following statements is not true？ (3) A．His train was delayed. B．The man's business trip was successful. C．His journey back form. Scotland took him four hours. D．He had little sleep last night.

M: Good morning, Cindy. W: Roberta, what exactly do time management consultants do？ M: Well, Cindy, it's all about helping people to organize their work in an ef fective way: maximum efficiency; minimum stress. W: Hah, sounds like something I need. Who are your clients？ M: Um, mainly business people, but I've also worked with politicians, civil servants and university lecturers. W: Um, quite a range, then. And what sort of things help people to organ ize their time？ I suppose punctuality is important. M: Um, yes and no. It's easier to finish a meeting on time if it starts on time. But in international contexts, you do have to be aware of cultural differences. W: For example？ M: Well, in Britain big, formal meetings usually start on time, but less for mal meetings often begin a few minutes late. In Germany, on the other hand, people expect all meetings to begin on time; In some countries, er, for example, in Latin America, there's a more relaxed attitude. So, you d6 have to adapt to circumstances. W: Um, it sounds like even if you manage your own time very well, you still can't control what other people do. M. Well, you can set limits. If you're meeting a friend who always arrives late, you can say, "Well, I'm going to wait for 15 minutes. If they aren't there by then, I'll leave," W: Hmm. I've got one friend who's always late. I don't think I'd ever see her if I did that. M: Hah, but people who are always late are the ones you need to set limits with. If they know that you won't wait, then, perhaps they'll make an effort. W: Isn't that rather harsh？ M: No, not really. Someone who constantly turns up late is putting a low value on your time. Let them know you've got other things to do. And I'm not suggesting you do that with everyone just the persistent latecomers. (20) A．To help people to organize their work in an effective way. B．To help people to become efficient at their jobs. C．To help people to arrange their time properly. D．To help people to reduce stress.

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.

W: Well, it's fairly cool and there's much rain in the morning. What is the weather like in Shanghai？ A．Hot. B．Cool. C．Cold.
