听力原文:W: Hello.
M: Hi, Sarah, this is Mike.
W: Great to hear from you Mike! How have you been doing these days?
M: To tell you the truth, I'm very worried about our final examinations next month. For one thing, I'm suffering from insomnia. I can't fall asleep, even after I've swallowed some sleeping pills.
W: I sympathize! I went through the same thing last year.
M: That's exactly why I'm calling you. Do you have any suggestions for coping with anxiety? You know how I hate exams!
W: Well, take a walk or have a shower before you go to sleep.
M: I have tried. All seems to be of no use.
W: OK. I know, last year the university offered a stress-management course at about this time. Have you been in contact with the student health services?
M: No, I have always been pressed for time!
W: Funny, isn't it? Just when students need help most, we can't afford the time to get it!
M: Well, perhaps I should find out more about this stress-management course. Things have got to get better!
W: I suggest you call the health services tomorrow. They open at nine a. m.
M: Thanks, Sarah. I'll let you know how it goes.
W: Best of luck! And have a good night's sleep!
M: That's easier said than done! Thank you just the same.

I am not sure that I can draw an exact line between wit and humor (perhaps the distinction is so subtle that only those persons can decide who have long white beards), but even an ignorant person may ex- press an opinion in this matter.
I am quite positive that humor is the more comfortable and livable quality, for humorous persons, if their gift is genuine and not a mere shine upon the surface, are always agreeable companions. They have pleasant mouths turned up at the corners, to which the great Master of Marionettes has fixed the strings and he holds them in his nimblest fingers to twitch them at the slightest jest. But the mouth of a merely witty man is hard and sour. Nor is the flash from a witty man always comforting, but a humorous man radiates a general pleasure.
I admire wit, but I have no real liking for it; it has been too often employed against me, whereas humor is always an ally. It never points an impertinent linger into my defects. A wit's tongue, however, is as sharp as a donkey's stick—I may gallop the faster for its prodding, but the touch behind is too persuasive for any comfort.
Wit is a lean creature with a sharp inquiring nose, whereas humor has a kindly eye and a comfortable girth. Wit has a better voice in a solo, but humor comes into the chorus best. Wit keeps the season's fashions and is precise in the phrases and judgments of the day, but humor is concerned with homely eternal things.
The distinction between wit and humor is______.
A.of no particular importance
B.solely a matter of opinion
C.subtle
D.exact and important
听力原文:M: Hi, Kate.
W: Hi, Peter. How have you been?
M: Oh, OK, I guess. And you?
W: Not too bad. We haven't seen each other for a while, have we?
M: No, we haven't. So that makes me ask...Do you have any plans for this Saturday?
W: No, not yet, I don't think so. Why?
M: What do you think about getting together and going out to dinner this weekend?
W: That would be great. Do you have any particular place in mind?
M: Well, I think I'd like to eat something that's not too heavy. I've been eating a little too much lately.
W: Me too.
M: I love Italian food, but maybe we should skip that this time. They always scem to setwe so much food in Italian restaurants, and you end up eating more than you wanted to.
W: Chinese food would be good. Do you think so?
M: Yes. Or maybe some Japanese sushi. That style. uses a lot of natural flavors, and not nmch oil of cream or heavy sauces.
W: Yes, either of those choices would be good. Let's just meet on Saturday night, and decide then where to eat.
M: What time shall we meet, then?
W: 6 o'clock in the evening. Is that OK?
M: No problem. And where?
W: How about our school gate?
M: That's fine by me.
(23)
A.Going out for dinner.
B.Visit to Japan.
C.Eating too much.

听力原文:W: Oh, Rex, I have been looking for you for hours. Where have you been?
M: Hi, Judie. I went shopping with my friend. What's up?
W: I have this great job lined up to manage the book store at the mall.
M: Fantastic! You know what. I've applied fur that position, too. But I was rejected. You're so lucky. So what's the problem?
W: Well, one of my professors in my department just told me about a winter internship program that's available. He thinks I might be able to intern in the office of the IBM branch here in town.
M: That sounds like a great opportunity too. What are you waiting for? Why not take advantage of it?
W: I'd love to, especially as I'm studying computer science. It would be a great way to get some practical experience in my field.
M: And you never know, it might lead to something with them after graduation. They are one of the biggest companies in the world. IBM! That's my dream company!
W: You're right. But the drawback, is I wouldn't be making nearly as much money as I would be working in the book store, not to mention the discount I could get on books there.
M: Forget about the money! We're talking about your future here.
W: Yes. I know. But ...
M: How much is the internship paid?
W: They pay their internship about $600 for the whole winter holiday and give free room and board for the holiday.
M: Well, if I were you, I would take the internship anyway. You could always get a job during the school year next year to make a few extra bucks.
