听力原文:M: Hi, Sandy. How are your finals going?
W: Oh, hi, Michael. I finished my last exam this morning, and I finished two term papers. I finally feel like I can see the light.
M: Great. Now how about a change? I've got two tickets for the new modern art exhibit downtown. Do you want to go with me?
W: Oh, I don't know. I don't know anything about modern art, and I'm no artist.
M: You don't have to be an artist to enjoy a good art show! Besides, at least it's something different from studying.
W: You are right. Have you seen this exhibit yet?
M: No, but I've heard that it's great. The exhibit was in New York last summer and in Chicago after that. And next week it goes to Los Angeles.
W: Oh. Well, it ought to be good then.
M: And, besides, next door to the modern art museum is a new Asian art museum. So we could hit both of them if you're up for it.
W: OK, you've talked me into it. Did you want to go this afternoon?

W: I'm Mary White. How do you do?
M: Do you live in New York?
W: No, no. I'm from Florida.
M: I'm too. But didn't you just get on?
W: No, no. I just changed my seat. A man next to me was smoking, and smoke really bothers me.
M: Do you have family in New York?
W: No, no. But I do have very close friends in New York City. We like to go to the theatre together. How about you?
M: Yeah. A son and his wife and their three children-my grandchildren.
W: You must be excited.
M: I can't wait to see them.
W: Are you going to live with them?
M: Yes.
W: Permanently?
M: Well, they want me to, but it's too early to know for sure. Some people don't mind being alone. I do.

M: I retired because... I wanted to be with my family. I didn't want to be alone anymore!

听力原文: I flew to San Francisco to take care of some business with Mr. Jorden. But as soon as I arrived, I got sick and couldn ' t meet with him. I had to call our appointment off. Then when I felt better, I thought about visiting him at his home, but he lived too far away. I tried to telephone him during office hours but he was busy. The receptionist said that Mr. Jarden would call me back. But he didn't. I gave up trying to make a new appointment because it would take more time and effort than I wanted to spend. A few days later, I saw a man on the street who looked like Mr. Jorden and I called out to him. It was someone else. When I returned to my hotel that day, I found a massage which said that Mr. Jarden had gone out of town for some sudden unexpected business. I was sorry I had missed seeing him. But I really enjoyed my sightseeing in San Francisco.

M: No, I haven't.
W: This is the kitchen. Everything is brand new. New fridge, new gas stove, new sink.
M: It's beautiful, really. How's the hot water in this place? I'm asking because where we live now we keep running out of hot water. I can't tell you how many cold showers I've had to take. l can't stand taking cold showers.
W: Don't worry. You can shower to your heart's content here. This is the bedroom. Quite large, don't you think?
M: Have you painted it recently? I mean, the walls look a little dingy.
W: Sir, the color is offwhite. We painted the whole apartment just last week.
M: Oh, sorry. Guess my eyes are going. What's the rent?
W: The rent is $500 per month.

I was born in England, to English parents.When I was two years old my dad got a new job in Poland.Since then I have lived in four other countries around the world.Although I have a British passport,I sometimes don't feel very English at all!
One of the best things about moving around a lot when I was younger experiencing many diverse cultures and countries.I was able to try different foods, learn different languages, experience different traditions and meet people from different backgrounds.I am also lucky to have friends all over the world that I keep in regular contact with.
However, it wasn't always easy.It often felt like I had only just settled in to the new school city and culture before my parents told me we were moving again.Leaving my friends behind was damaging as a child.I have lost touch with many people I was very close to because one of us moved country.It was also very disorientating to have an English passport, but not feel very English at all.Because I had no access to English culture, returning home, often felt like visiting a foreign country.Happily, now I feel more at home in England—although the question, “where are you from?” still confuses me!

听力原文:M: So, how is your new roommate, Sarah?
W: She really turns me off, I have to say.
M: How come? Didn't she move in just a week ago?
W: Yes, she did. But she's driving me crazy. (19)She's always making loud noises at midnight and when I remind her, she always makes rude remarks. What's more, she would mess up the room, (20) and I have to do the cleaning twice a day.
M: That's too bad. Haven't you talk about it with her?
W: Of course, I have. But it didn't work; she just pretended not to hear me. I'm thinking about complain to our instructor. I hope she will be forced to move out.
M: Well, good luck, then. By the way, where did your former roommate go?
W: You mean Jenny? (21) She went to America for further education. I learned from her email that she seemed to meet her Mr. Right on her vacation in California. I guess she may get married in a few months.
M: Oh, that's so disappointing. Then I will have no chance to tell her how I feel.
W: Oh my God. Are you saying that you have feeling for Jenny?
M: I'm just kidding. But I do miss her. You know, she has done me a big favor last month. I was doing some shopping that day, but when I was at the cashier's, I found I had left my wallet home. Luckily, Jenny was there. And it was she that helped me out.
W: I really miss her. I hope she could come back and live with me for another two years. She is so beautiful and considerate, totally different from my new roommate.

W: Yeah. I waited an hour to sign up for a distance learning course.
M: Distance learning? Never heard of it.
W: Well, it's new this semester. It's only open to psychology majors. But I bet it'll catch on elsewhere. Yesterday over a hundred students signed up.
M: Well, what is it?
W: It's an experimental course. I registered for Child Psychology. All I got to do is to watch a twelve-week series of televised lessons. The department shows them several different times a day and in several different locations.
M: Don't you ever have to meet with your professor?
W: Yeah. After each part of the series, I have to talk to her and the other students on the phone, you know, about our ideas. Then we'll meet on campus there for reviews and exams.
M: It sounds pretty non-traditional to me. But I guess it makes sense considering how many students have jobs. It must really help with their schedules. Not to mention how it'll cut down on traffic.
W: You know, last year my department did a survey and they found out that 80% of all psychology majors were employed. That's why they came up with the program. Look, I'll be working three days a week next semester and it is either cut back on my classes or try this out.
M: The only thing is, doesn't it seem impersonal though? I mean, I miss having class discussions and hearing what other people think.
W: Well, I guess that's why phone contacts are important. Anyway it's an experiment. Maybe I'll end up ha ting it.
M: Maybe. But I'll be curious to see how it works out.
