听力原文:M: I was just reading this article about the wonders of the ancient world. A lot of them were buildings. I was thinking, what would your wonders of the modern would be? Not necessarily buildings, but things that have changed our way of life.
W: For me, well, I was thinking the cell phone is the most wonderful thing.
M: Really?
W: Yeah, (19) I even couldn't live without mine. It's so convenient! I can call my friends anytime and they can always call me. Or if I'm in trouble I can call for help...
M: You mean like calling your parents?
W: Yeah, like parents, and if I'm running late, I'm able to call a friend if I'm, like, on the bus or something.
M: (20) But the problem with cell phones is that people use them too much for every little thing. It's practically glued to their ears.
W: Yeah, and I hate it when people shout into them in a public place and everyone else has to listen to the conversation, especially in restaurants.
M: Well, good manners aren't a wonder of our world! You know, I think the most amazing wonder is e-mail. It has changed the world, and it has totally transformed my business. Everybody at work is always on the computer, responding to e-mails, sending e-mails... That's where most of our business is done now, through e-mail. You are sending reports, getting information. But the bad part is that you are glued to the computer and people expect things to be done right away.
W: Yeah, people are shocked if you go through a day without checking your e-mail. And when you go on vacation and then you come back, maybe there are 200 e-mails waiting for you — all of them urgent.
M: I guess it is like any other tool or device. (21) If it's used correctly, it's very useful.
19.Wily does the woman consider the cell phone one of the wonders of the modem world?

听力原文:W: Could we talk a little about the problem of the old? I wonder if you could begin by telling us the importance of this problem.
M: Well, of course it is an increasingly serious problem, I mean a fairly large part of the old population becomes confined to the house. They cannot go out, because they don't want to trouble others, thus little by little they become a burden to the younger generation.

听力原文:W: I enjoy going through secondhand bookstores, don't you? It's interesting to see what people used to enjoy reading. Did you see this old book of children's stories?
M: Some of these books aren't so old, though. See? This novel was published only six years ago. It cost seventy-five cents.
W: Hey! Look at this!
M: What? Are you getting interested in nineteenth-century plays all of a sudden?
W: No. Look at the signature. Someone gave this book as a present, and wrote a note on the inside of the front cover. It's dated 1856. Maybe it's worth something.
M: Everything on that shelf is worth fifty cents.
W: But if this is the signature of someone who is well-known, it might bring a lot more. I hear William Shakespeare's signature is worth about a million dollars.
M: Oh? I can hardly read what the one says. Who wrote it?
W: The name looks like "Harold Dickinson". Wasn't he a politician or something? I'm going to buy this book and see if I can find a name like that in the library.

听力原文:M: This is it. I know that it is smaller than you wanted, but it is one of the nicest apartments in the buildings.
W: Does it have three bedrooms?
M: No. There are two. The master bedroom is quite spacious though. Maybe you could let the children share the larger room, and you and your husband could use the smaller one.
W: I suppose I could do that.
M: A three-bedroom apartment will be difficult to find.
W: Yes, I know. Believe me, I have been looking for over a week. The few three-bedroom apartments that I have found are either extremely expensive or the owner won't allow children as tenants.
M: Well, the owner allows two children in this apartment complex.
W: Aren't you the owner?
M: No. I am the manager. I live here, too, on the first floor of this building.
W: Oh. That's nice. Then if anything gets broken...
M: Just leave a note on my door.
W: You said that the rent would be 350 dollars a month. Does that include any of the utilities?
M: Yes. It includes gas. Your furnace and stove axe gas, so, as you can imagine, your other utilities, electric and water, are quite inexpensive.
W: This sounds better and better. But before I sign a lease I would like my husband to see it.
M: Why not stop by with him this evening?
W: How late are you open? He doesn't get off work until five.
M: Come by at six. I will still be in the office. I am sure that you are eager to move from the hotel, and if we get the paper work out of the way tonight, you can move in tomorrow.
W: Oh, that would be wonderful.

M: Sure. I just need it for a few more days.
W: Well, first, this book is one week late, not due today as you thought. There are also a few requests for this book so it is now on hold for the next person. There's a small fine on your card of $1.40 for the overdue book, would you like to pay today?
M: So if I pay the fine, can I take this book out again?
W: You won't be able to take it out again until all the other people who have placed holds on it have signed it out. Did you want to pay your fine today?

W: Sorry, I have already signed it hack in and now it is on hold. In fact if I could, I would triple our fines and suspend your library privileges. It's not fair to other students who are also trying to access library material for study purpose. Now are you going to pay your fine today?
M: OK. Sorry.

A.He does not have his library card with him.
B.He does not want to return the book right now.

听力原文: I am honored to be here today, representing Harvard at this celebration of the College Board's half century of working to promote high standards and equal opportunity in higher education.
Before I say anything else, I want to thank everyone in the room for the work you do every day to make college affordable, available and successful for millions of young people across the country.
I want to focus my remarks on a matter of central concern to American families and to the future of the nation -- restoring education to its proper role as a pathway to equal opportunity and excellence in our society.
This has been an enduring theme in higher education, with great and creative efforts made by many institutions. Earlier this year, we announced a new initiative at Harvard aimed at the students from families of low and moderate income. Under our new program, families with incomes of less than $ 40,000 will no longer be expected to contribute to the cost of attending Harvard for their children. Families with incomes of less than $ 60,000 will also see their contributions reduced.
We are proud of this effort at Harvard, but we are aware that the programs of individual institutions with means can never be a substitute for our shared public responsibility to provide adequate funding for Pell grants and other financial aid, and for the state and community college systems that make higher education accessible and affordable for the broad public.
There is something empty about undertaking initiatives that may be right for one institution without attention to their broader impact. Likewise, we fall short if we urge changes in national policy without doing what we can on our own campuses.
In this spirit, I want to address today a problem that is emerging with increasing urgency in this nation.
