听力原文:M: Good morning. What can I do for you?
W: We'd like to check out now. Would you please give me our bill?

W: Yes, we did.
M: Your final bill for yesterday's dinner hasn't reached me yet. I need to contact the restaurant to ask them to send the bill here at once. Would you please wait a minute while I ring up the restaurant?
W: Sure. But would you mind making it quick? We are in a hurry. We'd like to go downtown for shopping or window-shopping.
M: I see. I won't keep you waiting more than half a minute. Sorry to have you waiting, here is the bill. It totals 5,204.80 yuan.
W: What's this item, please?

W: I see. But the amount of money paid by our travel company does not include charges for phone calls. This amount should be paid to you separately by Ms. Smith.
M: I'm sorry to have included this in the bill. I'll make out your bill anew.
W: Thanks. Do you accept traveler's checks?

I felt sorry for him, far from home in the service of his country. Writing to him seemed almost a patriotic duty. But as we got better acquainted, our letter-writing pace increased—to as many as three a day. I started driving home at lunch to collect the mail.
Then Ken came back in leave, and we surprised ourselves by getting mantled and going overseas together. Romantic? Not really, because then he left on a three-week mission, making our honeymoon a by-mail event too.
We didn't set out to defy romantic customs; it just turned out that way, and stayed that way. We had been married seven years before we remembered our anniversary—and then only because my mother phoned to wish us a happy one. It took another ten years for us to notice Valentine's Day.
To celebrate our alertness that year, we decided to have a conventionally romantic evening; a quiet, just-the-two-of-us dinner at a nice restaurant.
When we arrived at the restaurant, we were told there would be a 40-minute wait, and so we headed for another nice, but not so romantic place. About halfway to our second choice, Ken realized that the restaurant would not honor our credit card and we were low on cash. I sighed and said, "I do have enough for a fast-food place." Clearly, we were veering far off the conventional coupe.
While Ken placed the order, I gathered napkins and straws and went to select a romantic spot in the nonsmoking area. There I found a woman methodically turning chairs up onto tables. "This section's closed," she said.
"But it's the only nonsmoking section," I protested. She pointed across the room. "You can sit over there."
"That's the smoking section," I argued.
"I know," she said. "But you don't have to smoke."
I started to protest but stopped to choke back a laugh. Maybe because she thought I was going to cry, she removed the opened chairs from a table and said, "This okay?" I thanked her and, after she had gone, sat giggling until Ken arrived with the hamburgers.
Surrounded by a forest of upside-down chair legs, we had our Valentine dinner. It wasn't exactly quiet, with grill workers yelling at each other in the kitchen past the swing door near our table. But it was just the two of us, if you didn't count the person with the mop who kept humping our chairs.
According to the context, "flowers or candy, moonlight walks, lingering good-byes" are to indicate ______.
A.some examples of conventional customs
B.an intimate friendship
C.a special relationship
D.an ordinary acquaintance

Where Do Dreams Come from?
Do you often dream at night? Most people do. When they wake in the morning they say to them selves, "What a strange dream I had! I wonder what made me dream that."
Sometimes dreams are frightening. Terrible creatures threaten and pursue us. Sometimes, in dreams, wishes come tree. We can fly through the air or float from mountain-tops. At other times we are troubled by dreams in which everything is confused. We are lost and can't find our way home. The world seems to have been turned upside-down and nothing makes sense.
In dreams we act very strangely. We do, things which we would never do when we're awake. We think and say things we would never think and say. Why are dreams so strange? Where do dreams come from?
People have been trying to answer this since the beginning of time. But no one has produced a more satisfying answer than a man called Sigmund Freud. One's dream-world seems strange and unfamiliar, he said, because dreams come from a part of one's mind which one can neither recognise nor control. He named this the "unconscious mind".
Sigmund Freud was born about a hundred years ago. He lived most of his life in Vienna, Austria, but ended his days in London, soon after the beginning of the Second World War.
Freud was one of the great explorers of our time. But the new worlds he explored were inside man himself. For the unconscious mind is like a deep well, full of memories and feelings. These memories and feelings have been stored there from the moment of our birth—perhaps even before birth. Our conscious mind has forgotten them. We do not suspect that they are there until some unhappy or unusual experlence causes us to remember, or to dream dreams. Then suddenly we see a face we had forgotten long ago. We feel the same jealous fear and bitter disappointments we felt when we were little children.
This discovery of Freud's is very important ff we wish to understand why people act as they do. For the unconscious forces inside us are at least as powerful as the conscious forces we know about. Why do we choose one friend rather than another? Why does one story make us cry or laugh while another story doesn't affect us at all? Perhaps we know why. If we don't, the reasons may lie deep in our unconscious minds.
When Freud was a child he wanted to become a great soldier and win honour for his country. At that time Austria and Germany were at war with each other. His father used to take Sigmund down to the rail way station to watch the trains come in from the battle-fields. The trains were full of wounded soldiers. There were men who had lost all eye, an arm or a leg fighting in tile war. Many of the soldiers were suffering great pain.
Young Sigmund watched the wounded men as they were moved from the trains into the hay-carts that carried them to the hospital. He was very sorry for them. He pitied them so much that he said to the teacher at his school, "Let us boys make bandages for the poor soldiers as our sisters in the girls' school do."
Even then, Freud cared about the sufferings of others, so it isn't surprising that he became a doctor when he grew up. Like other doctors he learned all about the way in which the human body works. But he became more and more curious about the human mind. He went to Pads to study with a famous French doctor, Charcot. Charcot's special study was diseases of the mind and nerves.
At that time it seemed that no one knew very much about tile mind. If a person went mad, or "out of his mind" ,there was not much that could be done about it. There was little help or comfort for the madman or his family. People didn't understand at all what was happening to him. Had be been possessed by a devil or evil spirit? Was God punishing him for wrongdoing? Often such people were shut away from the company of ordinary civi

听力原文:M: Hi, Grace. Mind if I eat lunch with you'?
W: No. Mr. Evans, not at all.
M: Thanks. I just heard that you're studying nutrition and you've got quite a bit of experience working in the cafeteria, so I wonder if you will be interested in a small project we are doing this term.
W: What's the project all about?
M: More and more students have been deciding not to buy the meal here and we want to attract them back. So I want to hear what students would like. Your job would be to find out.
W: Well, if the menus were changed, then maybe I wouldn't have to listen to so much criticism.
M: That makes you perfect for the job. Would you be interested?
W: I'm not sure. What sorts of changes are you thinking of?
M: I'd like to make some changes in the way we prepare our food. For example, just look at what we have to choose from today. You got a fried hamburger and I got fried chicken. They both contain too much fat.
W: But you'd better not get rid of them. They're everybody's favorite.
M: Well, we can certainly keep them, but we need to give the people Who are health-conscious some choices. For example, we could also prepare chicken without the fatty skin and serve it on some rice with a light sauce. Do you think that would appeal to students?
W: Well; I'd like that. You're right. You'd better find out what others think. Sorry, I've got to get back to work. I'd like to hear more though. I'll drop by your office later.
M: OK, see you then.
