W: Really? Don't you feel it enjoyable and quite beneficial?
M: No, I just feel it's a waste of time.
W: I can't see eye to eye with you. No matter what you think, I still believe class discussion is a good way of teaching and learning. As you know, class discussion can get us students more involved in what is being studied rather than sit there and listen all the time. We have a chance to speak our minds and share what we know about the subjects. Don't you feel the same way?
M: Well, in a way what you said is true, but I'd rather listen to what the professor knows about the subjects, for he is expected to be better informed. I don't think there is any point in wasting our time listening to other students who are as ignorant as us.
W: We may be ignorant in many aspects compared to the professor. But our opinions and experiences are also worth listening to and learning from. As the proverb goes, four eyes see more than two.
M: Sure, I understand many hands make light work. But some students are often dominant and aggressive in the discussion and do not respect others' right to speak. I hate those self-important and irritating fellows.
W: I admit there are such moments in class discussion. But we should do justice to class discussion though some students fail to behave themselves and focus on the topic.

听力原文: Valentine's Day is the time of the year when couples show their love for each other by sending cards, flowers and chocolates. But it is not only about public displays of affection: in recent years it has also become big business. In the UK alone, more than ~ 20 million is spent on flowers, while in the United States over $ I billion is spent on chocolates.
(32)Although Valentine's Day has become a global industry with more than 80 million roses sold worldwide, the origins of the day are unclear and hidden in the mists of time. Nobody knows exactly who St Valentine was, although some historians suggest he was a Roman killed by a Roman Emperor in the third century AD. It is said that the first recorded Valentine's card was sent by the imprisoned Duke of Orleans in 1415. It is believed that he sought solace by writing love poems to his wife.
Valentine's Day, or its equivalent, is now celebrated in many countries around the world. However, the traditions often differ from place to place. (33)In Japan, for example, it is customary for the woman to send chocolates to the man, while (34)in Korea April 14th is known as "Black Day" and is when the unfortunate men who receive nothing on Valentine's Day gather to eat noodles and commiserate with each other.
Valentine's cards can also be used for less than romantic purposes. (35)Police in the UK city of Liverpool sent Valentine's cards to criminals who failed to appear in court or have not paid fines. The cards contained the verse, "Roses are red, violets are blue, you've got a warrant, and (35)we'd love to see you." Who says romance is dead?

M: Carrying a big camera around is too much trouble for me.
W: My camera is really small, though. Here let me show you.
M: That is a compact camera, but you really must know a lot about photography to get such professional looking results.
W: Not necessarily, this camera is simple to operate.
M: Does this model come with flash attachment for indoor shots?
W: Better than that. It has a built-in electronic flash and an automatic focus too. I don't even have to worry about focusing.
M: That's what I need when I take pictures. They usually come out blurry because I don't adjust the lenses properly and I hate photos that are out of focus. Is a camera like yours very expensive?
W: Less than you'd expect. Why don't you check the prices at Hatfield's down the street? This model was on sale there last week.

听力原文: As the proverb says, "No one knows the value of health until he loses it." In other words, nothing is more valuable than health.
It is clear that health is the foundation of one's future success. If you become sick, it is nearly impossible to pursue your career effectively, much less to make your dreams come true. On the other hand, if you are strong, you can go all out to overcome the obstacles that lie ahead of you. Health is the resource of our energy. What should we do to maintain our health? First, we should exercise every day to strengthen our muscles. Second, we might as well keep good hours, ff we get up early, we can breathe fresh air and see the sunrise. This habit can do wonders for our outlook on life. Third, there is a proverb that says, "Prevention is better than cure." ff you pay close attention to your health, you can avoid getting sick, or at least cure yourself of a disease while it is still in its beginning stage.
In conclusion, health is more important than wealth. Those who are rich but poor in health are on more fortunate than those who are poor, but healthy in body. If you want your wish to come true, health is the most important component of your success.

A.Wealth.
