听力原文:W: (19)Why the long face? I've never seen you so down. I thought you quit smoking. How come you started again?
M: Troubles, my dear sister. (20)Female troubles. What a bunch of headaches!
W: Which one now, or should I ask you how many?
M: Be serious! Just the one I've been going with for the past two months.
W: You mean the gorgeous blond, Monica, that you fell so hard for? Kind of sudden, wasn't it?
M: That's the one. (20)I thought she was the one for me, my ideal woman, the girl of nay dream. Now I've found out she seems to be cheating on me.
W: Really? No wonder you're so depressed. She's not the only fish in the sea, you know. Step out of home and go downtown, have a beer, and find another chance.
M: Oh, knock it off, Maria. I've been true to her, but she's been playing around. You see, we were supposed to meet at the Student Union yesterday, but she didn't turn up. When I finally called her this morning, she told a lie to me.
W: Why are you so sure that it was a lie? Don't you trust her?
M: Her story didn't hang together. Besides, Michael came to tell me Monica was dating with some guy in a club while I cooled my heels waiting for her in the Union. It makes me boil.
W: Hey, calm down, Daniel. (21)Are you going to take Michael's word for it? How could he have known when and where you were meeting?
(20)
A.The long face he has got.
B.The behavior. he conducts.
C.The smoking he quitted.
D.The words he speaks.
M: You know this isn't the first time that people are saying Brazil will be a great economic power. The same thing was said over a hundred year ago. But it didn't happen.
W: Yes, but you must admit the world's a very different place now.
M: Of course. In fact I believe there's maybe some truth in the prediction this time around. First of all, though, we must remember the problems facing Brazil at the moment.
W: Such as...?
M: There's an enormous gap between the rich and the poor in this country. In Sal Paulo, you can see shopping malls full of designer goods right next door to the slam areas without proper water and electricity supplies. A lot of work needs to be done to help people in those areas improve their lives.
W: What needs to be done?
M: Education, for example. For Brazil to be successful, we need to offer education to all Brazilians. Successful countries like South Korea and Singapore have excellent education systems. Brazil needs to learn from these countries.
W: So you are hopeful for the future.
M: As I said earlier, I'm hopeful. This isn't an easy job. We need to make sure that these important opportunities for Brazil aren't wasted, as they were in the past.
