听力原文: Man: My secretary tells me that you'd like to know something about mechanical engineering. What I can do is give you some idea of the variety of specialties within the field.
Woman: I'd appreciate that very much.
Man: One of the oldest mechanical engineering areas is machine design. First, we need to know the purpose, of a particular machine, whether it's a crane or a tool or a steam engine. Then, if we know the loads that this machine will carry, we can make the most efficient use of the materials we have.
Woman: I see. Is heating included in this field?

W: l am taking three general courses and American history and American literature this semester. Last semester I took four requirements and freshman French.
M: I believe it's not too late to change your major because you've mainly taken general requirements which all freshmen have to take. Also we have twelve electives so the two literature courses will be included in them, so you can change your major without losing any credit hours.
W: I am very happy to know I am still able to change my major. I am interested in writing newspaper articles, and after finishing my degree I would like to work for some newspaper firm.
M: Oh, I think you will be a good writer.
W: Dr. Steven, when do students start practical training?
M: They don't begin practical training in reporting until the sophomore year. Journalism normally is taken in the freshman year as a general background course.

听力原文:W: Hi, Tim. I'm really sorry to hear about your grandfather. My sincerest sympathies go out to you and your family. He was such a great man.
M: Thanks. As you know, he had been sick for some time before he passed away, so we were somewhat prepared.
W: So, how's your grandmother taking it?
M: Oh, it's been really hard on her. I don't think you get over something like that.
W: Yeah, I'm sure. My heart really goes out to her. Uh, so how's your grandmother going to be able to manage things alone?
M: Well, financially, grandmother will be able to live a secure life from now on. I mean, grandfather had life insurance and substantial investments in property and stocks, so returns on those should take care of her. But our main concern at this moment is her emotional state. She's really down, so a call now and again should brighten her day.
W: So, what are the funeral arrangements?
M: Well, some of the family members will get together on Tuesday morning for a private memorial service, but there will be a viewing in the afternoon from 2:00 to 3:00, followed by the funeral service.
W: I wish there was something I could do for you.
M: Well, actually, there is. You know, grandfather really admired you a lot, and before he died, he asked if you'd sing a musical number at the funeral.
W: Really? I'd be honored.
M: It would really mean a lot to the family.
W: Sure. Then, see you on Tuesday.
M: Okay, see you then.
