听力原文: A good way to see the USA is by car. Americans love their automobiles and in the past fifty years they have developed a vast network of roads and freeways to help them reach their destinations. As few visitors have their own cars, renting one is the next best thing. You will need a valid driver's license and either international credit cards, or a deposit.
You should start out with a working knowledge of the road. Regulations vary from state to state and this can be very confusing to a newcomer. For example, in some states it is legal to turn right at a red light if there is no approaching traffic, while in other states you will be fined for this action. Throughout the country it is forbidden to pass a school bus when it has stopped to let off children.
The size of the country may startle you at first and you may be surprised at the spectacular physical beauty. When the first pioneers began to expand West into the wildness, the natural resources of the land seemed inexhaustible. Nearly 1,000 million acres of land was covered by virgin forests. Much of this was burnt off for farmland and it soon became apparent that the government would have to take action or the natural beauty of the land would be lost for ever.

听力原文:W: Look, I'm sorry, but the books for Chem. 100 aren't in yet.
M: Why not? School started last week.
W: I really don't know. Maybe the professor ordered them late, or the publisher ran out of them and they are on back order.
M: This is awful. I'm worried about this course anyway. I didn't do that well in chemistry in high school.
W: I know what you mean. Did you check the used book section?
M: Yes. No luck there.
W: Okay. Look, why don't you go over to the library? I'll bet that the professor put at least one copy on reserve.
M: Do you think so? That would be great. At least I could make copies of the pages that I need until the books come in. Oh, wait. If there's only one copy, everyone will be trying to do that.
W: True. Well, we do have a bulletin board. You could put a notice up saying that you are looking for a book for Chemistry 100, and maybe someone who has it will want to sell it directly to you. Do you have a phone in the dorm?
M: Yeah. I'll just put my name and phone number on the notice. That's a great idea! Where's the bulletin board?
W: By the T-shirts and clothing near the front door. Oh, and be sure to put down the exact title of the book, too, because they don't always use the same one.
M: Thanks. You've been a big help.
