听力原文：M: I suppose you must have heard about that great piece of concrete falling onto a car in that terrible accident in South Street yesterday, didn't you, Jane？
W: Yes, I saw it in the paper. From a 200-foot high building, wasn't it？ I gather the driver had just got out or he'd have been killed, wouldn't he？
M: Oh, yes. I saw the car; it was totally damaged.
W: You usually park your car around there, don't you, Bill？
M: Yes, I left it in that very spot a couple of days ago, but yesterday it was parked up the road.
W: You were lucky then, weren't you, Bill？
M: Out of luck, you mean! I'd be very pleased if my old ear were smashed to bits. I could claim from the insurance company then, couldn't I？
W: But you used to be so proud of your car, weren't you？
M: I used to be years ago, but now there are all sorts of repairs to be done, and I just haven't got enough spare cash to put it right.

M: Few people are stupid enough to buy a car in that state, are they？
W: The man whose car was crushed yesterday was very annoyed about it. He'll be given a new car by the builders, though.
M: Yes, but his car was a specially-built model that can't be replaced, and there was hardly anything wrong with it, was there？
W: Well, that's life! When people actually want to get rid of their cars, this sort of thing seldom happens, does it？

听力原文：M: So, you must have a lot of contact with overseas students in your work helping people coping with daily existence.
W: Sometimes. You know the life of a social worker is not all wonderful and working to help people in their daily life. I have to spend a lot of time pushing paper, and writing reports too. But when I do get out, yeah, I see a lot of foreigners. And sometimes they come in because life in America has just beaten them down and they can't cope financially or emotionally.
M: Really？ I would think that they had a good support network in place, especially university students.
W: They do have a network, and a variety of support groups, but these can't meet all of the students' needs. They can't help with paying bills, dealing with American neighbors and customs, fitting in, getting a driver's license, etc. They try, but very often the student has to figure out a lot of this stuff by himself. And if he or she is shy, they don't have the courage to ask other people, even other people from their nationality.
M: So what are some of the things that overseas students struggle with？
W: This might interest you, but they struggle with the food, especially Chinese. You know, they come here knowing that Americans love Chinese food so much. They think that there will be good restaurants with Chinese food that they love. But they get here and they are extremely surprised. Americans enjoy totally different flavors.
M: So what do they do？
W: If they're brave and curious, they look around and test all the restaurants. There is usually at least one restaurant in every town that has almost quality food.
