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.

M: Well, the 1992 Maastricht Treaty proposed a single currency between the European Union. The participating countries decided on the name "Euro' at a summit in Madrid in 1995 and the currency was launched on January 1, 1999. W: What is it worth？ M: When the Euro was launched in 1999, one Euro was worth 1.17 US dollars or 71 British pence. However, the weakness of the Euro zone economies compared with that of the United States, combined with the inexperience of the European Central Bank in dealing with the international markets, has meant that since its launch the value of the Euro had declined significantly. In December 2001, one Euro was worth little more than 89 cents or 63 pennies, a 20 percent drop on its initial value. W: Do you think it will affect the daily life of ordinary people？ M: I suppose so. For example, one of the major headaches for participating countries has been the con version of public telephones, vending machines, and shopping trolleys to accept Euro coins. Al though a conversion process has been in full swing since before 1999, there are reports that some countries are not ready for the Euro. W: So what does it look like？ M: There are seven notes designed by the Austrian artist Robert Kalina. The designs show the "seven ages" of European development, with windows and gateways on the front, and bridges on the back. In addition, there are eight coins designed by the Belgian artist Luc Luycx. All Euro coins are round, but have differences in composition, weight, thickness, and milling to ensure that the blind can easily distinguish between them. On the front there is a European design, common to all coins, and on the back a "national" design from the central bank of issue. Despite the "national identities'', all coins can be spent throughout the Euro zone regardless of their origin. (36) A．1992 B．1995 C．1999 D．2001

M: Yes, I was driving home from work. It was about 5:15, and there was a blue car in front of me. We were both driving along Harbor Road when a small white Ford suddenly shot out of a side road.

W: And the white Ford shot out without any warning？ M: Yes, that's right.

W: How can you be so positive, Mr. Atkins？ Were you looking at your speedometer when the accident happened？ M: Of course not. I was looking at the road ahead.

Jatinder: Well, Katarina, when I first arrived in the UK, I was just so excited to be living in a foreign country: away from my parents ... that I just didn't really notice anything at first. How about you, Ali？ Ali: Yeah. Same here. That's quite typical, isn't it？ Everything seems new and fascinating. But, after this initial enthusiasm wears off, all the new experiences may begin to overwhelm you. Things that you found exciting at first may now seem strange and a little frightening. Even minor differences, such as being unable to buy your usual brands of various products, can add to the sense of strangeness. Jatinder: Yes. That's right. Then you may start to experience sudden mood changes and strong reactions, feeling lost, disoriented, and even irritated and resentful. Most of all, you may wish you were back among the familiar people and places at home. All international students can experience culture shock in some form. ... even those coming from countries with very similar lifestyles to those in the UK. It is important to understand that this reaction is entirely normal and that it will pass. Katarina: OK. So what suggestions do you have for me？ Ali: Well, I made sure that I arrived early. I got here about ten days, yeah, ten days before most of the other students, so that I could settle in before things got busy. Many universities run special induction programmes for international students in the week before term begins. A typical induction programme provides a tour of the college or university, an overview of its facilities and how to use them, help with registering for your academic programme, and social events where you can meet other students and staff. This can help you to start to get used to your new environment. Katarina: Yeah, I heard about those ... but too late unfortunately. Jatinder, did you go on an induction course like Ali？ Jatinder: No. I wish I had, but my parents wouldn't let me go a day sooner than absolutely necessary. It was very annoying. Ali: Every university has counsellors who can give you practical advice on adjusting to your new environment. These people have special training in offering advice and support, and they understand the challenges you face. They can listen to you sympathetically, offer practical suggestions, and refer you to other professionals if necessary. Your personal tutor and the staff in the international office of your college or university can also be helpful. Jatinder: Have you heard about the 'buddy' or mentoring system？ Students who have been at the university or college for a longer period give advice to new arrivals, and are available for help and guidance throughout the year. There is information on schemes such as these at the students' union or the international student association will help you become involved. I used the system when I arrived and found it really opened some doors socially: you know, I got to meet lots of people, like Ali, right？ Ali: Right! Katarina, I think that it's also important to keep in touch with home. Use the telephone, e-mail and conventional mail to keep in contact with your friends and family at home. In larger towns or cities with large international communities, like this one, you may be able to find people from your country. Spend some time with them. Many international students find that it helps to make contact with people from a similar background because they understand what you are going through. Spending time with people from your country can also be a relaxing break from the 'strangeness' of the UK. You can speak your own language, eat your own foods and talk about what is going on back home. Jatinder: Yes. and don't forget that the university has a variety of cultural societies, as well as an active international students' association: ask at the student union. They may also have inform

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. B．He's asking the woman for help to improve his English. C．He's discussing with the woman how to listen to a language regularly.

M: Well, it depends on the traffic, but shouldn't toke more than twenty minutes for the average driver. And I'm not average. So we should be able to cruise through traffic and get there in less than twelve minutes. W: Oh. By the way, do you know what time the museum closes？ M: Around 6:00 o'clock. W: Do you have the time？ M: Yeah. It's half past four. Hi, this is your first time to the city, right？ W: Yeah.How did you know？ M: Well, you can tell tourists from a mile away in this city because they walk down the street looking straight up at the tall buildings. W: Was it that obvious？ M: Well... W: Oh, before I forget, can you recommend any good restaurant downtown that offer meals at a reasonable price？ M: Umm...well, the Mexican restaurant, La Fajita, is fantastic. It's not as inexpensive as other places I know, but the decoration is very authentic, and theportions are larger than most places I've been to. W: Sounds great! How do I get there from the museum？ M: Well, you can take the subway right outside the museum. There are buses that run that way, but you would have to transfer a couple of times. And there are taxis too, but they don't run by the museum that often. M: Okay. Thank you so much. (20) A．He is an average driver. B．He is a skilled driver. C．He is below average.
