Uh, let's see about nine pounds of hamburger meat and, uh .... seven packages of hot dogs. W: And you'd better pick up some chicken for those who don't like hamburger or hot dogs. M: Okay. How about five or six bags of potato chips？ W: Humm. Better make that eight or so. M: All right. Oh, and we're gonna need some hamburger and hot dog buns, How about five packages a piece？ I think that sounds about right. W: Yeah, you'd better pick up some mustard, catchup, and mayonnaise too. M: Okay. What else？ Uh, we're gonna need some soft drinks. How about ten of those big 2-liter bottles？ W: Sounds fine, but be sure to buy a variety of drinks. M: Okay. And what about dessert？ W: Well, maybe we could ask Kathy to make a few cherry pies like she did last time. M: Well, I heard that she's been very busy working two jobs, so we'd better not ask her, uh... Hey, why don't you whip up some of your oatmeal cookies？ Hey, you could even ask, uh... what's her name.., yeah that new girl, Susan, the one that moved in across the street! I bet she'd be willing to help you ! W: Nah, I don't think I could ask her, I haven't got a phone number. Anyway, I can try myself. (20) A．At a park. B．At the beach. C．At Dave's house. D．By a river.

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

Now, how fast was the car in front of you going when the accident happened？ M: The blue car？ 30 miles an hour. Certainly no more than that. W: And the white Ford shot out without any warning？ M: Yes, that's right. W: Then, how can you be sure the blue car was only doing 30？ M: Because I was only doing 30, and the blue car wasn't going any faster than I was. W: Are you sure of that？ M: Yes, I am. I'm positive. 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.
