听力原文:F: Paul, nice to see you back from the university. How do you like your new university? I remember your mom had wanted you to go to London University so that you can live at home and walk or cycle to attend the lectures.
M: Well, you know I didn't go to London University after all. My new university is on the suburbs of an ancient cathedral city and it is almost 8 miles from the city center. The university is planned on the so called American campus system. That is to say, students live in halls of residence grouped around the main university buildings.
F: You mean you live, eat and study within the university proper?
M: Yes, I like it. Because we are a real community. We've got comfortable common rooms and bars. We arrange dances and parties. We've got clubs, theater groups, choirs and so on. And we've got an orchestra. I played the drums in it. By the way, how about your university days, Betty?
F: I rented a house with two other girls in the middle of the city about ten minutes walk from the university. The house is falling to pieces. It is damp and there is no proper heating. M: That sounds awful. I couldn't work in a place like yours. The district is poor and could almost be classed as a slum.
F: I don't think so. We live among real people who treat us as real people. We've got an electrician living next door, who is always coming in and mending our cooker and electric fires. We could try to get into one of the halls of the residents. But we prefer to be independent. It's nice to belong to the city and to do things outside the university.
M: What sort of things do you do outside the university?
M: Well, there is a group of us who go and help in a home for handicapped children. And I sing in the city bar "Choir". We get on well with the local people, not like you in that suburban district.
W: Well, I like history. And my university is one of the best universities for that subject. Besides, it is an ancient city with a lot of historical relics and sightseeing spots. If you can drop by by any chance, I can show you around.
F: You bet.

听力原文:M: Come on Jody, how're we going to convince everybody that my car wash idea is the best way to raise money for the Thanksgiving party at the student center?
W: It won't be easy.
M: Thanks a lot !
W: Oh, I'm just kidding. Actually, I think once we show how much money it could bring in, we'll be sure to convince everyone on campus to pitch-in.
M: Well... how are we going to get the message out?
W: One thing I was thinking of is to hang up handout on the bulletin boards.
M: But that's not going to attract much attention. We need to do something interesting.
W: Let me finish: I know someone who works at the campus print shop. Last week he said he could get hold of materials to make a big banner. That'll attract the attention of a lot of students if we can hang it in front of the student center.
M: Nice work !
W: I've also arranged to have an article published in the school paper next Wednesday. That way you can get the message out to the entire campus.
M: Uh-oh, that means I better come up with an article pretty quickly. How about if I write it up and I'll let you be the first to read it. How about alter English class tomorrow?
W: Sounds like a plan. I'll see you then.

听力原文:W: Hello, John, you must be pleased. After all, how many students are lucky enough to be accepted at their first and second choices?

W: You seem to have doubts about the State University. But its biology department has good facilities all the biology majors want.
M: Yeah. They aim have internship for seniors. But a friend told me that for the first two years some lectures had a hundred and fifty students. You probably wouldn't get to know any of your teachers.

M: I know. But I've heard they were usually taught by graduate students. At White Stone College all classes are taught by professors.
W: What about studying? Do you prefer a small town like White Stone or a bigger place like the state capital?
M: That doesn't matter to me. What I do care about is getting individual attention from the faculty and making friends.
W: Look, I've known you for four years now, and you seem to be a pretty out-going person. I don't think yon'Il have any trouble making friends at State University. It sounds to me like you are leaning toward White Stone though.
M: I am. The only problem is that the white Stone's tuition fee is really high and I'm not sure I can afford it.

听力原文:M: The job sounds great, but I'm a little worried about how much time it might take.
W: It's pretty reasonable. It never took me more than five hours a week to do all the grading and then another thirty to forty minutes to record the grades on the computer.
M: That sounds manageable. I guess you can do the work when it fits into your own schedule, too, can't you?
W: Oh, yah, you can do the grading in your room or in the library. You just need to get each set back for the next class, but that means you always have at least two days and sometimes four.
M: It sounds great.
W: Good luck with your interview.

听力原文:W: Mr. Matheson, I'm the business consultant to make some suggestions on developing a functional organizational structure in your company. I've studied all your reports, and your company is making excellent progress,
M: Thank you, Miss Carlyle, I'm in bad need of such suggestions because, to be frank, my company, although small, is rapidly expanding. And please, call me Len. So, what are your recommendations for my new organizational structure?
W: Call me Mary. First, let's start with your operation here. You should set up separate Administrative, Clerical, Back office, and Support functions. There's too much work for your personnel to wear more than one hat any more.
M: Yes, they're already overworked. But that will entail more Managerial functions, won't it?
W: That's right, Lea, and you'll need at least two new managers for separate Marketing and Product Development departments.
M: OK, Mary. What else?
W: I think you'll need an Executive assistant to help you deal with corporate affairs. That should do it for your headquarters here, but since your business is no longer just local, I also suggest setting up a regional office in the south.
M: What about personnel there?
W: You'll need the same basic functionality as here, on a reduced scale. Product Development is only needed at headquarters for now. Your regional head can manage all functions there initially, but will probably need an assistant, also. And that's it!
M: Thanks for your advice, Mary. You do help a lot. Looks like I'll need that assistant right away to help me set all this up!
(23)
A.A personnel manager.
B.A business consultant.
C.A secretary.
D.An assistant.

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.
