听力原文:W: Good morning, Mr.Tim.It's a long time since I had the pleasure of a visit for you.
M: Yes, it must be three or four years. I haven't visited you since I called about my will. You helped me with that, you remember?
W: Yes, I remember. Do you want to make any changes in your will?
M: I don't think that will be necessary, but you'll tell me if it is. I left everything, you remember, to my wife, and after her death, to my son Jerry. I've about $15,000 in shares of industrial companies. These bring in, after paying tax, about $1,125 a year. Well, I'm earning a good salary now, and I shall get a good pension from my employers, so my wife and I can live fairly comfortably with this extra income, I want to buy some land and build a house for my son; he will need a house when he gets married. I'm thinking of building one and giving it to him.
W: Your son's lucky. So you want my help buying the land and building the house.
M: Yes, that's right. As soon as you've done what's necessary for buying the land, Jerry and I will see an architect.
W: Have you found a plot yet?
M: Jerry was in Edinburgh last Saturday and saw a plot he likes. My wife and I went there two days ago, and we liked it, too. I'd like you to make the necessary inquiries for me.
W: I'd be pleased to do that. I shall have to write to the Local Authority and inquire whether it is allowed to build a house on your piece of land. You've not allowed to build a house without permission from the Planning Authority. And sometimes the Authority decides that a house must be built of stone, and not of brick, so that it doesn't spoil the surrounding village.
How long have they not met each other?
A.Half a year.
B.Two years.
C.Three or four years.
D.More than five years.

听力原文:M1: Hi, I stopped by to see if you were still looking for a roommate to share your house.
M2: Yeah, I sure am. Ever since I cut back on my working hours to go to school, I've been really strapped fog cash.
M1: Oh.
M2: Let me show you the place. Uh, here's the living room.
M1: Oh. It looks like you could use a new carpet ... and those stains?
M2: Well. I know it needs to be cleaned, but I just don't have the money to do it right now.
M1: What about the kitchen?
M2: Right this way. Look. It's completely furnished with all the latest appliances, except...
M1: What?
M2: Well, the refrigerator door is broken ... a little bit ... and it won't shut all the way. It needs fixing, but don't worry. It isn't that bad.
M1: Well how about the bathroom? Don't tell me the toilet is clogged or the sink has a few leaks.
M2: No, those work fine, but, uh, the window needs fixing.
M1: Let me see. Where's the window pane?
M2: Well, that's another slight problem. I've put up a piece of cardboard to keep out the rain and snow, and if it gets a little cold, you can always turn up the heat.
M1: I can't believe you've survived under these conditions.
M2: So what do you think? You really can't beat a place like this for $450 a month. So it has its problems, but we can fix those.
M1: Uh, no thank you. I think I've seen enough.

听力原文:W: Good evening! Welcome to our Talk Show program. Our guest today is Mr. David Smith, who had the experiences of studying abroad for seven years and then returning back home. Well, Mr. Smith, do you think going abroad was the hard part?
M: I don't think so, but returning back home was really hard.
W: Why?
M: Well, for many students, returning back to their home countries can be a very confusing experience.
W: Re-entry Shock! That sounds quite interesting. Can you explain it?
M: For example, many students who come to the United States experience freedoms they have never enjoyed in their country.
W: Sure, such as freedom from family, freedom from cultural norms they didn't like and freedom from the pressures of working in a real job.
M: However, too much freedom and unstructured life can lead to other problems. Students sometimes skip classes, stay out late, and engage in activities that their families and cultures might not approve of, but students want to enjoy "freedom" while it lasts.
W: So when students return back to their countries, they can struggle with fitting back into the cultural norms and family expectations of the past.
M: Yes. Naturally, depression is possible and a loss of self can result.
W: Then what can students do to minimize this Re-entry Shock?
M: First of all, keep in contact with your family and friends while you are abroad. They will be your first source of advice and support once you return.
W: What else?
M: Second, have a clear plan what you will do when you return. Start looking for a job now or apply to enter a school months before you return. Re-entry Shock can be greatest when you have nothing to do when you return.
(23)
A.How to go abroad for study.
B.How to enjoy the freedom abroad.
C.How to look for a job after returning back from abroad.
D.Re-entry Shock and how to reduce it.
