听力原文:W: Why did you sell the car?M: It was giving me too much trouble. I was spending

听力原文:W: Why did you sell the car?

M: It was giving me too much trouble. I was spending so much money on it that I was spending more money than it was worth. Unfortunately, of course, when you actually sell the car, you've already spent the money on it, so you lose both ways.

W: What was wrong with your old car?

M: The one I'd got was on its last legs really, the engine needed a lot of repairs and the gearbox was continually giving trouble, so I decided to change it.

W: Is this one good?

M: Yes, it hasn't given me any trouble at all. It's more comfortable, it's newer and more reliable. The other one, the old one, when I set off on a journey, gave me sore of fearing that I may not get to the other end, because it had broken down so many times. But this one, I can set off with quite a lot of confidence that I'm going to be able to get the other end.

W: Was this a new car or a second-hand one?

M: It was second-hand when I bought it. It's two and a half years old now.

W: Why did you choose this particular car?

M: Er, a number of reasons. One, it's a very comfortable car inside. It is, a very, well, it's quite a fast car. And, but the main reason is because I think it looks nice. I think I want a car to look nice. It's also a family car. It's got four full seats.

W: I'm surprised that you should say you buy a car because you like the look of it, because that would be the reason why I would buy a car.

(20)

A.Because he needed money.

B.Because the car would not go at all.

C.Because the car broke down too often.

D.Because the car could not bring in any profit.

听力原文:M: One of the most common questions we ask about people's behavior. is "why". Why
did she say this?" Why did he do that? Sometimes the reason is obvious, for example, someone is driving down the street, the light turns red, they stop, why?

W: Because they have to, legally I mean.

M: Exactly! In this case the reason is obvious, so we usually don't question it. But when the reason is not so obvious and especially when the behavior. could have negative consequences we'll more likely to feel a need to explain the causes of the behavior. Social psychologists have a term for this, for the process of explaining the causes of the behavior, it's called "causal attribution". And one theory suggests, there's a pattern in the way we go about attributing causes to people's behavior. According to this theory, there are two categories of reasons: internal factors and external factors. Again, Lisa, say you're driving down the road and all of a sudden some guy turns into the lane right in front of you, and you have to slam on your brakes to avoid an accident. How do you react?

W: I'll probably get very angry.

M: Because...

W: Well, he's not paying attention, he's a bad driver.

M: So you automatically attribute the driver's behavior. to an internal factor. He himself is to blame because he is careless.

W: So if I said it was because of heavy traffic or something, I'd be attributing his behavior. to an external factor, something beyond his control.

M: Good. Now how do we usually explain our own negative behavior?

W: We blame external factors.

M: That's right.

(23)

A.Common causes of anger.

B.Judging people's behavior.

C.Changing people's attitudes.

D.The effects of negative behavior.

听力原文: People are always talking about "the problem of youth". If there is one—which I
take leave to doubt—then it is older people who create it, not the young themselves. Let us get down to fundamentals and agree that the young are after all human beings—people just like their elders. There is only one difference between an old man and a young one: (33)the young man has a glorious future before him and the old one has a splendid past behind him; and maybe that is where the rub(摩擦)is.

When I was a teenager, I felt that I was just young and uncertain—that I was a new boy in a huge school, and I would have been very pleased to be regarded as something so interesting as a problem. (34)For one thing, being a problem gives you a certain identity, and that is one of the things the young are busily engaged in seeking.

I find young people exciting. They have an air of freedom, and they don't have a dreary commitment to mean ambitions or love of comfort. They are not anxious social climbers, and they have no devotion to material things. All this seems to me to link them with life, and the origins of things. It's as if they were, in some sense, cosmic beings in violent and lovely contrast with us suburban creatures. An that is in my mind when I meet a young person. He may be conceited, ill-mannered, presumptuous or fatuous, but I do not turn for protection to dreary cliches about respect of elders—as if mere age were a reason for respect. (35)I accept that we are equals, and I will argue with him, as an equal. if I think he is wrong.

(30)

A.Old people think of the young as "a problem".

B.Old people create this "problem" of age difference.

C.Old people have a past; young people have a future.

D.Old people and young people forget they are all human beings.

听力原文:when I first went to London as a student,I sat alone during parties with my glass

听力原文: when I first went to London as a student,I sat alone during parties with my glass of wine.I hoped people would think that I was having great thoughts and that someone might come up to me and say"Excuse me,I hope you won't mind my coming up to you like this.I don't want to interrupt your thoughts.But really, you are the only interesting looking person in the room.May I talk to you?"It never happened.Here is some advice if you would like to be a good conversationalist.Be an attentive listener.Encourage others to talk about themselves.To be interesting,be interested.Ask questions that other people will enjoy answering.Encourage them to talk about themselves and what they have done.Remember that the people you are talking to are a hundred times more interested in themselves and their problems than they are in you and your problems.A person's toothache means more to that person than a famine in Africa which kills a million people.A pain in one's arm interests one more than forty earthquakes in America.Think of that the next time you start a conversation.Diogenes,the Greek philosopher who is supposed to have lived in a barrel,said: "The reason why we have two ears and only one mouth is that we may listen more and talk less."

What did the speaker usually do during parties?

A.Enjoyed the wine and delicious foods.

B.Listened to the stories of friends.

C.Sat alone and waited someone to come up.

D.Talked to the interesting looking people.

听力原文:W: Mr. Green, what do you think of the economic forecasts for next year? For exam
ple, what will happen to housing costs?

M: Well, there's good news for buyers. Prices won't increase. In fact, they'll fall slightly. There are different reasons for this. One is that it won't be so easy to borrow money. A second reason is that there are still a lot of empty new houses on the market.

W: I see. And what about food prices? Will they fall too?

M: I'm afraid not. You see, inflation will increase, so consumer prices will rise too. I think we can expect a 3% rise in prices.

W: Some economists say that unemployment will rise. Are you one of these people?

M: No, I'm not. I think it'll decrease. Trade with other countries has improved dramatically over the past year. And the increase in demand for goods means that there will be more jobs.

W: Well, if unemployment falls, can we expect wages to fall too?

M: No, no. The average wage will increase. Not very much, I'm afraid, but there will be a slight increase.

W: One financial question, Mr. Green. What will happen to petrol prices? Will they increase or decrease next year?

M: That's a very difficult question to answer because we don't know what'll happen in the oil producing countries. I have a feeling that prices will go down. However, I could be wrong!

W: Mr. Green, thank you very much for your time.

M: My pleasure.

(20)

A.Housing costs.

B.Average wage.

C.Unemployment.

D.Oil prices.
