听力原文: When my interest shifted from space to the sea, I never expected it would cause such confusion among my friends, yet I can understand their feelings (32) . As I have been writing and talking about space flight for the best part of 20 years, a sudden switch of interest to the depth of the sea does seem peculiar. To explain, I'd like to share my reasons behind this unusual change of mind (35) . The first excuse I give is on economic one. Underwater exploration is so much cheaper than space flight (33) . The first round-trip ticket to the moon is going to cost at least 10 billion dollars if you include research and development. By the end of this century, the cost will be down to a few million. on the other hand, the diving suit and a set of basic tools needed for skin-diving can be bought for 20 dollars. My second argument is more philosophical. The ocean, surprisingly enough, has many things in common with space. In theft different ways, both sea and space are equally hostile. If we wish to survive in either for any length of time, we need to have mechanical aids (34) . The diving suit helped the design of the space suit. The feelings and the emotions of a man beneath the sea will be much like those of a man beyond the atmosphere.

听力原文:M: What's on the TV this evening? I feel like relaxing.
W: Why ask me that? You know I never watch it.
M: Too busy with the latest hobby, are you? What is it this time, knitting socks for your nephews? Or collecting buttons? I wish I had as much free time as you do.
W: Men! As a matter of fact, you probably have more than I do. But you waste it all watching your TV.
M: That's not a waste of time. I've got to rest sometimes.
W: Sometimes, maybe, but not all the time. And anyway, I relax with my hobbies. A change is as good as a rest.
M: Well, the TV is my hobby, and I learn a lot from it.
W: But it doesn't teach you to do anything, does it? You just sit there and stare at it. That's not learning.
M: But I do learn. There are lots of educational programs.
W: But you don't watch them, do you? Whenever an educational program comes on, you either switch over to the other channel or go to sleep.
M: When I come home from work, I need to put my feet up, at least for a while. Life's not all work, you know.
W: Hobbies aren't work. I like putting my feet up, too, at the end of the day, but I like doing things while I rest.
Life's too short for us to waste time.

A.Watching TV.
B.Knitting socks.
C.Chatting with neighbors.

听力原文: All right! Enough cookies, cola and chips. It seems that junk food is all that the children want to eat these days. Television controls their tastes. The kids see well-known personalities eating potato chips, candy and other processed food and they want to be like their heroes. How do they do it? They eat the same food. I wish there were more characters like Old Popeye, the sailor, who ate spinach but not French fries.
Just because I like brown rice, beans and fresh vegetables, I don't expect my children to eat this health food. I'm glad to cook traditional meals of meat and potatoes for them. I really can't be too upset with the kids because most adults aren't careful about what they eat. The other night, my wife and I went to a party where there was plenty of drink but very little for us to eat. They served hot dogs and hamburgers. I can't eat hot dogs, with all those preservatives and hamburgers are filled with chemicals so that they look good. Besides the meat, they had sugar-filled cookies and cake and of course chips. Terrible, I don't want the world to change because of me, but I think that people should realize that there are alternatives to eating meat. They always tell me that I probably don't get my essential proteins. But I feel better than ever and I'm sure that it's because I am vegetarian. I would really like to see more television advertisements which show the benefits of good, healthy, natural food.

听力原文:W: Hi, Mark! How's it going?
M: Well, not so great.
W: What's wrong?
M: I've got a big problem with file poetry course that's required for my major.
W: Is it all filled up?
M: No, no. There's plenty of room, but there's prerequisite (前提条件). I've got to take Introduction to Poetry before I can take the special course in poets of the 1960's. And the introduction course is only offered in the evenings.
W: You don't like evening classing?
M: No, that's not the point. I work in the cafeteria every evening. I need the money to pay my tuition.
W: Can't you ask someone at work to switch hours with you? Maybe you could just switch a couple of evenings, since the course probably only meets two times a week.
M: I wish I could. My boss just did me a favor by putting me on evenings. And he'll hit the ceiling if I ask to change again.
W: Wait a minute. I have an idea. Have you checked the courses over at the community college? They might offer an Introduction to Poetry during the day.
M: That's a great idea. I'm free this afternoon. I think I'll go over and check it out.
W: Yeah, their courses are actually a lot cheaper, and you can transfer the credits over here.
M: Thanks for the advice, Linda. I'll let you know what happens.
W: Sure, Mark. Good luck,
