新视野大学英语视听说教程第三册听力练习录音文本和答案Uintl- Uint6UintlIII. Listening InWhile the man is wondering why the woman is suddenly getting excellent marks, she says she read an article on studying and remembering. It talks about principles like “Mental Visualization”, that is, creating a picture in one,s mind of what is to be remembered. This reminds the man of the principle of “Association”, which means connecting what one wants to remember with something one is familiar with. Then the woma n adds the principle of “Consolidation”, or reviewing one,s notes after class and absorbing the new materia l into what one has already learned. When the man promise to study sixteen hours a day, the woman recommends the principle of “Distributed Practice”, which favors shorter study sessions distributed over several days. Finally, the woman tells the man that memory is like a muscle, and that it needs exercise.Task 2: You forget my toast!ScriptAn 80-year-old couple was having problems remembering things, so they decide to go to their doctor to see what was wrong with them. They explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple over, the doctor told them that they were physically okay but might need to start writing things down to help them remember. The couple thanked the doctor and left.Later that night while watching TV, the old woman said to the old man, “Honey, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream?”Before the man left, she added, “Why don,t you write that down so you won't forget?”“Nonsense,” said the husband, “I can remember a dish of ice cream!”“Well,” said the wife, “I'd like some strawberries on it. You,d better write that down because I know your memory is failin g.”“Don,t be silly,” replied the husband. “There,re only two things: a dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can surely remember that!”With that, he rushed into the kitchen. After about twenty minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs.The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband, and said, “Hey, you forget the toast!”Uint2III. Listening InSeeing that Jenny has bought the books for the biology class, Harrison says nobody does much on the first day because it,s still add-drop, which means students are changing from class to class. Jenny knows the professor is really good. But Harrison warns her that the professor is good, only if students are hand-workers, for he expects a 10t.After class, Jenny admits that half of what the professor said went over her head, and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professor said is explained in the reading.When Jenny asks to borrow Harrison notes, he says “on problem”, for they don,t have class until Wednesday. Finally, Harrison says participation in the discussio n at the seminar is an important part of the education there.Task 2: Money for CollegeScriptRobert is a university student. He likes to have fun. But having fun was expensive, so he was rapidly running out of money. There was nothing to do to try to call his mother for help.“Hi, Mom. I certainly miss you and Dad. I …uh…got a big surprise this week in my physics course. We have to buy two new textbooks. I,m going to need $100.”“I understand, ” said his mother, “I'll send you the money right away. You left your calculus book here when you were home two weeks ago. Shall I mail that at the same time?”“Oh, yeah. Thanks,” Robert said.Robert,s mother made up a parcel with the calculus book and two checks, and mailed it to Robert that very day. When she returned from the post office, her husband was waiting for her.“Well, how much did you give the boy this time?” asked Dad.“I send two checks: one for $100 and the other for $1, 100,” answered Mom.“You're outing your mind,” yelled Dad, “That’s $1,100. He,ll just spend that in a couple of weeks. He's never going to learn the value of money that way.”“Don't worry, honey,” Mom said, “I taped the $100 check to the cover of his book, but I put the $1,000 one between the pages in Charper13!”Uint3After thirteen years marriage, the woman wants to divorce her husband, claiming he is irresponsible. When asked for the specific grounds for divorce, she gives these reasons: First, he keeps changing jobs, and the family has had to move four times in thirteen years, but she wants stability for her children and herself. Second, although he is paying the bills, they just live around the poverty line. Her children are being teased by other children for not dressing good clothes. Also, they had to live in a small apartment and drive an old car, though it still runs. Worse still, the husband yells at her, though she admits she also yell at him and calls him names. As for the divorce arrangements, the woman will give the husband only visitation rights instead of jointcustody. Moreover, the woman will demand half of all they have and large support payments.Task 2: What four-letter words? ⑦ScriptDorothy was the only child of her family, born when her parents were mid-aged. They spoiled her badly. At the age of 33 she still lived at home. Her mother and father treat her like a princess. She seemed perfectly content with that situation, so her friends were surprised when she announced she would soon get married. People who knew her well said the marriage wouldn ’t last long. But for the present, she and her new husband approached happy. . )As soon as the newly couple returned from their honeymoon, the bride called her mother.“How does everything go?” her mother asked.“Oh, Mom,” she began, “the honeymoon was lovely! So romantic! We had a wonderful time. But on our back, Bob started using terrible language. Stuff I ’d never heard before. Really awful four-letter words. You ’ve got to come get me and take me home. Please, Mom!” the new bride sobbed over the telephone.“But, honey,” the mother asked, “What four-letter words?”“I can,t tell you, Mom. They,re too awful! Come get me, please!”“Darling, you must tell me what has upset you so much. Tell me what four-letter words he used.”Still sobbing, the bride said, “Mom, words like dust, wash, iron, and cook.”Keys: FTFFTUint4III. Listening InThe woman went from Guilin City to the east coast city of Qingdao to attend college. She was impressed by the latter's dynamic economy. Now shi is being interviewed for a job. She says she once worked as an intern for a small shipping company to maintain the company,s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources. There she learned the importance of communication skills . She has realized that book knowledge is indeed necessary, but it is equally essential to persuade potential clients to trust her. Her former employer said herability to find customers was an asset to the company. He appreciated the loyalty and teamspirit. The interviewer finds her mature for her age and very goal-oriented. And she believesthat she has acquired many good qualities form her parents, but still has a lot to learn.Task 2: A Work Qualification TestScriptMurphy applies for an engineering position at an Irish firm based in Dublin. An American appliedfor the same job. Quite by coincidence, the two amplifications, and were asked to take the same test by the manager of the Human Resource Department. Upon completion of the test, both men missed only one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for your interest, but we ’ve decided to give the American the job.”Bewildered by the manager’s decision, Murphy asked, “Why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, I should get the job!”The manger answered calmly, “We have made our decisions based on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”Unconvinced and somewhat indignant, Murphy question, “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?”The manager's maser took him by surprise, “Simple, on QuestionNo.5, the American put down 'Idon't' know', and you put down ‘Neither do I’.”For Reference1.He made his decision based on the wrong answers to the one question one missed, rather thanon the correct answers.2.By writing “Neither do I ”, it seems that Murphy copied the American answer on the test.Uint5Chris and Nora are going to a reception. Chris is eager to making new connections. As the party ends at two, he intends to have all those brochures distributed by one- thirty. But Nora disagrees, saying that those brochures will make him look like a green hand. She advises him just to hand out business card and leave his work at the door. But Chris wonders how he can get anything out of this if she can 't talk business. To this, Nora insists that he should just get a card for a card. Chris catches on quickly and knows that he can hand out business cards now and follow up on Monday. Finally, Nora suggests splitting up so that they can cover more ground. Chris feels it will be a piece of cake and promise to meet her back there at two.Task 2: A Work Qualification TestScriptOnce there was a Scottish accountant. The business has been in the family for generations and generations. Over time, with the countless clients that had gone in and out of the office, the marble step in front of the building had developed a big, deep dip in it from all the wear and tear.The accountant’s friends kept telling him that he had better get it replaced; otherwise he,d be sued if anyone ever slipped and fell.Reluctantly, the accountant called a stonemason to get a quote for the repairs. When the stonemason got there, the accountant demanded a price for a new step.“Ah, big job,” said the e stonemason, “But I suppose I could give you a new step for a hundred pounds.” The accountant was stunned. “Are you crazy, man? I can,t pay you a hundred pounds! ” Thinking about it for a second, he turned to the stonemason and asked, “What would you charge meto dig up the step and turn it over so that the worn part is in the ground and I,d get a new square step?” The stonemason hesitated, “20pounds.”“Do it!” Demanded the accountant, “And call me when you,re done.”The accountant went back inside to read his books, but after only 15minutes the stonemason rang the bell. As the accountant opened the door, he saw the stonemason standing there, pointing to a deep dip in the step. The stonemason laughed as he said, “Your great-great granddaddy thought of that a hundred and fifty years ago!”For Reference3.countless clients that had gone in and out of the office4.He turn the step over so that the worn part was in the groundUnit 6Alan,s accountant is preparing his income tax return, so he needs to go over some of the receipts wit her. Pamela complains that the government just squanders people's hard-earned tax money on some unnecessary projects. But Alan does not mind paying taxes, saying it means he is earning money, which is better than living on charity. Pamela insists that if the poor would just get jobs, taxes would bee much lower. Alan disagrees, saying most people would rather work than receive charity, but sometimes there are no jobs that they are trained for. But Pamela asserts that the jobless people should take the needed training to upgrade their skills and knowledge to become more employable. Alan believes that some of the government tax dollars are alreadydirected to training and upgrading programs that help the poor to get jobs. When Pamela says some of the unemployed don,t want to work, preferring to have handouts, Alan points out that some people have to be educated to realize how much fuller their life would be if they ere not dependent on charity. Pamela is, however, more down-to-earth, thinking the government should attack unemployment by reducing the tax rate. That would give people more money; then, they would spend more, which would create more jobs for the poor.Task 2: A Professional GamblerScriptIn a bar a guy told the bartender, "I’m a professional gambler; I ’ve made of lots of money from gambling.”The barte nder answered, “I can hardly believe it. Your odds are fifty-fifty at best, right?”“Well, I only bet on sure things,” said the guy.“Like what?” asked the bartender.The bartender thought about it, “Okay,” he said.So the guy pulled out his false right eye and bit it, “Ah, you screwed me, ” said the bartender, and paid the guy fifty dollars.“I’ll give you another chance. I ’ll bet you another fifty dollars that I can bite my left eye,” said the stranger.The bartender thought it over again and said, “Well, I can see you,re not blind. I ’ll takethat bet.”So, the guy pulled out his false teeth and bit his left eye. And the bartender had to pay him another fifty dollars.Then the guy went to the back room to play cards with some of the locals. After many hours of drinking and card playing, he stumbles up to the bartender and said, “Bartender, I,ll give you one last chance. I,ll bet you 500 dollars that I can dump tomato juice into that whiskey bottle three foot away without spilling a drop.” The bartender thought the guy must be drunk now, “Okay, you’re on,” he said.The guy began dumping tomato juice all over the bartender, but no a drop fell into the whiskey bottle.The bartender was overjoyed. Laughing, the bartender said, “Hey, pal, you owe me five hund red dollars!”The guy said, “That,s okay. I just bet the guys in the card rooml, 000 bucks each, that I could dump tomato juice all over you but you still laugh!”Keys: TFTFTFor Reference5.Because not a drop tomato juice fell into the whiskey bottle, and he was to win the bet of 500dollars.6.Because he just bet the guys in card rooml, 000 buck each that he could dump tomato juice allover the bartender and still make him laugh.。

Do you remember Martin, the man who took care of my father's gardens for many years?M2: A smiling, polite fellow, right?M 1: That's the man. I told him his job ended the day my father died. Well, three days ago he came to my office, smiling as always, and demanded that I pay him $100,000. He claimed to have been taking care of the trees outside my father's room when Dad prepared another will, leaving all of his money to his brother in New Zealand.M2: You believed him?M 1: I admit the news surprised me. Sometime during the last week in November, Dad and I had argued about my plans to marry Elizabeth. Dad did not want us to marry, so it seemed possible that he had decided to change his will and leave all his money to his brother instead of to me. Martin said he had my father' s second will and offered to sell it to me and keep it a secret for one hundred thousand dollars. He told me that the second will would be considered legal because it was dated November 31, the day after the will that left my father's money to me. I refused. He tried to bargain, asking $50,000, and then $25,000. M2: You paid nothing, I hope?M 1: Nothing at all. I told him to get out of my house.M2: Quite right. The story is clearly not true!

Here's my identity card.W: What? Oh... well.., and just what right does that give you to go around looking into people's bags?M: None whatsoever, unless I have reason to believe that there's something in the bags belonging to someone else?W: What do you mean belonging to someone else?M: Well, perhaps, things that haven't been paid for?W: Are you talking about stolen goods? I don't know what things are coming to when perfectly honest citizens get stopped in the street and have their bags examined.M: Exactly, but ifthe citizens are honest they wouldn't mind, would they? So mayI look in your bag, madam? We don't want to make a fuss, do we?W: Fuss? Who's making a fuss? Stopping people in the street and demanding to see what they've got in their bags. Now go away. I've got a train to catch.M: I'm sorry. I'm trying to do my job as politely as possible but I'm afraid you're making it rather difficult. However, I must insist on seeing what you have in your bag.W: And what, precisely, do you expect to find in there?

If so, be careful. There is a pickpocket looking for you. World travelers, away from home and usually carrying a lot of money, are often troubled by pickpockets in foreign countries, but they should remember that there are pickpockets in their own countries, too.A typical pickpocket is under forty years of age, usually a male. He has trained himself in running. Generally, he carries a newspaper or magazine in his hand. He may appear fairly clever and pretend to be calm. He has learned his job from another pickpocket, and he pays his "teacher" back by giving him a percentage of the money or things which he steals.The good pickpocket always operates in crowded places. Very well-dressed men and slightly drunken men are the favorite objects of the pickpocket.An average-sized department store hires about six or seven men and women who are looking for pickpockets and thieves all the time. Many police districts have such people whose only job is to catch the pickpockets quickly. But a good pickpocket knows these things and is very careful. He is especially busy on buses, trains and subways between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. when there are many shoppers with a lot of money to spend. He carefully remembers the payday ofcompanies.Pickpocketing and stealing from a shop together represent about 75% of daytime crime in America. The sentence for these crimes is usually from three to five years in prison. After finishing their sentence, pickpockets and thieves usually advance to more serious crimes.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. What does a typical pickpocket look like?2. Where does a good pickpocket always operate?3. What will happen to a pickpocket if he is caught in America?4. What will a pickpocket most probably do after finishing his sentence?5. What is the main purpose of the author of the passage?Passage2A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil was for good men to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some things to say to good people.Day after day my men and I struggle to hold back a wave of crime. Something has gone terribly wrong with our once proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values.A key ingredient is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability. Accountability isn't hard to define. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and for their consequences.Of the many values that hold civilization together -- honesty, kindness, and so on --accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law -- and, ultimately, no society.My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who refuse, or who have never learned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external controls on people's behavior are far less effective than internal controls such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.Yet more and more, especially in our large cities and suburbs, these inner controls are loosening. Someone considers your property his property; he takes what he wants, including your life.The main cause of this break-down is a radical shift in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, shockingly, it's the criminal who is considered the victim because of the school that didn't teach him to read, because of the church that failed to reach him with moral guidance, and because of the parents who didn't provide a stable home.I don't believe it. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything. We in America badly need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.6. According to the author, what is wrong with the American way of life?7. What do people in large cities and suburbs tend to have?8. What is the shift in most people's attitude towards criminals?9. What will be the consequences if criminals are considered victims?10. What is more effective than external controls on people's behavior? Passage3Lillian Beard smiled while she worked. "Why are you so happy?" her coworkers asked her."Last week some of my income tax was paid back." Lillian answered. "This morning I went to the bank and cashed the check. I have $462 in my pocket. I'm thinking about the money. How will I spend it?"After work Lillian came back home and decided to wash some clothes. She looked at the jeans she was wearing. They were dirty. So she put them in the washing machine, too. Ten minutes later she remembered the money in the pocket of her jeans. Lillian ran to the washing machine a nd took out the jeans. The money was still in the pocket, but it was wet. Lillian put the money on the kitchen table to dry.A few hours later the money was still wet. Then Lillian had an idea. She could dry the money in her microwave oven! Lillian put the money in it and left the kitchen. When Lillian came back a few minutes later, she saw a fire in the microwave. She opened the microwave door, blew out the fire, and looked at her money. The money was burned.The next day Lillian took the burned money to the bank. A teller at the bank told her. "If I can see the numbers on the burned bills, I can give you new money." Unfortunately, the teller found numbers on only a few bills. The teller took those bills and gave Lillian $17.A newspaper reporter heard about the burned money. He wrote a story about Lillian for the newspaper. Several people read the story and called the newspaper. "Tell Ms. Beard to send the burned money to the U.S. Department of Treasury," the people said. "Maybe she can get her money back."Lillian sent her money to the Department of Treasury. The experts looked at Lillian's burned money and sent her a check for $231. What did Lillian buy with the money? She didn't buy anything. She gave the $231 to friends who needed money. Lillian said, "When I burned the $462, I thought, 'Well, my money is gone.' The check for $231 was a big surprise. I decided to give the money to my friends. Money is important, but people are more important to me."Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. Why was Lillian so happy that day?12. What happened to the money?13. How much money did she get back from the bank?14. How did she spend the money finally?15. What did she realize after what had happened?Passage4American TV and movies once gave a tough and cruel picture of the American police, though now there are TV series which have policemen as heroes and defenders of society. The police are grateful for their new image, especially in cities where there are black ghettos. White policemen are now careful of how they speak and behave towards their fellow black citizens.The ordinary policeman, is a city or a state employee. He cannot arrest anyone outside his city or his state. He cannot even cross the border into a neighboring state to catch a criminal. If he does, he can be charged with breaking the law of that state. The police who have to be really tough are those that operate in big cities, like New York, Chicago and Detroit, which have large ghettos and organized criminals.Since the majority of criminals are armed, American policemen have to use their guns more often than most policemen in other places. American policemen get shot down, run over, beaten up, and their wives are often in fear that one day their men will not come home.Many policemen do a lot to help children whose parents are criminals. They understand better than most citizens the awful sufferings of the ghettos. They feel sorry for the drug users, but often treat roughly the "pushers" who sell the drugs -- when they can catch them. They have been criticized for making no serious efforts to break up the many different drug rings. They claim that such a task would be never-ending.In big cities, the Po l ice Commissioner (Head of the Force) is often appointed by the Mayor and therefore senior police officers tend to be too closely linked to politics. Their ambitions sometimes tempt them to turn a blind eye or to accept bribes, which makes the ordinary policemen rather disappointed.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. How were the American police once described in American TV and movies?17. Why do the police of New York, Chicago and Detroit have a particularly tough time?18. In what way are American policemen different from those in other places?19. How do American policemen treat the children of criminals?20. What do senior police officers tend to be closely linked to?Key:Passage 1: 1. (B) 2. (C) 3. (B) 4. (D) 5. (B)Passage 2: 6. (A) 7. (C) 8. (B) 9. (D) 10. (D)Passage 3: 11. (B) 12. (C) 13. (A) 14.

M: Professor Lyle, you published the result of ynur study in the journal, right'? W: Yes, a study of 62 formerly inactive women who began exercising three timesa week for six months.M: What docs the study suggest?W: It suggests that even moderate exercise may lead to reduced iron levels in the blood of women.M: Could you tell me how many of women in general are affected by iron deficiency?W: Yes, certainly. One in four female teenagers, one in five women aged 18 to 45 and up to 80 percent of female endurance athletes.Q: Generally speaking, what percentage of female teenagers is not affected by iron deficiency?2. M: What's the matter, Jane?W: I have a headache, I keel) coughing and have a running nose.M: You've caught a cold. You'd better take some medicine and go to bed. And by the way, 1 think you need more exercise since you often catch colds.W: I want to exercise but never seem to find the time.M: Why not do it first thing in the morning?Q: What does the man suggest the woman to do'?3. W: Well, Mr. Johnson, you're at greatest risk since you smoke and drink too much. M: Am 1 in a serious condition?W: Yes, absolutely. It might be a good idea if you give up drinking and smoking altogether.M: Oh dear... I'm afraid that's out of the question.Q: How does the man feel about the doctor's advice?4. W: I'm absolutely exhausted since there are so many things to do before everybodyarrives for the party.M: What have you prepared for the party?W: I've cooked some meat, chicken and fish plus some vegetables.M: That sounds really good! When will the party begin?W: At 6: 00.M: Well, I can get the drink for you.W: Oh, can you, Mike? That'd be a great help.Q: Why is the woman so tired?5. M: Here is the result of your blood test. It shows that you have an irondeficiency.W: Iron deficiency! That's impossible.M: It's true. So that's why you often feel weak, tired and out of breath.W: Can I correct it?M: Yes, of course. You'd better correct the problem by adding more iron-rich foods to the diet such as meat, chicken, fish, and some leafy green vegetables. I also recommend cooking in iron pans, as food can derive iron from the pan during the cooking process.Q: How can the woman solve her problem?6. M: What would you like to have, Becky?W: Just some sliced tomatoes and a glass of juice.M: How about some beef?W: No, thanks. It is delicious, but I am restricting my diet to control weight. Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?7. M: I really wish David would take more interest in medicine and become a doctorlike us. I don't know why he wants to become an athlete.W: But he's grown up. I think he should do what he wants to.Q: What does the father want his son to be?8. W: You look rather pale. Aren't you feeling well?M: Not very. I was sick most of the night. I didn't sleep very well. I think it's something I ate.W: Did you eat at Rome last night?M: No, we ate at that new restaurant. And I must have eaten something that didn't agree with me.Q: Why isn't the man feeling well?9. W: Hello.M: Oh, Hi, Joan. It's Joe. How are you doing?W: Terrible.M: Oh, what's the problem?W: I've got a pain in the shoulder.M: Oh, that's too bad. Why don't you go to the health center and see a doctor? W: Yeah, I suppose I ought to, but you know how I hate doctors.M: Well, at least you'd better lie down and take it easy for a while.W: Yes, that sounds like a good idea. I will.Q: What's the matter with the woman?10. W: Mr. Anderson, we think it's necessary for you to have another blood test.M: Why? I had one in our local hospital.W: Well, the traditional method of calculating the amount of iron in blood in that hospital is not sufficient. Instead, it's important to check levels ofa different compound.M: A different compound?W: Yeah, the compound indicates the amount of storage of iron in the blood. M: Ok, if you think it's necessary, then go ahead. Anything to get rid of the trouble.Q: What can be concluded from the conversation?11. W: What's your opinion of the new study conducted by that team of researchers? M: Well, I think they have really done a good job. According to their study, women who were normally inactive and then started a program of moderate exercise showed evidence of iron loss.W: So women should not ignore the amount of iron they take in.Q: What's the attitude of the man towards the researchers?12. M: There are more and more claims that people need some iron supplements in theirdaily life.W: I think it depends. Firstly experts say it's advisable for people to have a yearly blood test to check blood iron reserves. Then people should talk witha physician to see if their iron deficiency should be corrected by modifyingtheir diet or by taking supplements.M: Are they equally effective?W: No. In general, it's better to undo the problem by adding more iron-rich foods to the diet, because iron supplements can have serious shortcomings or may be poisonous in some cases.Q: What can be learned from the conversation?13. W: Shouldn't someone go to the supermarket to select some bread and cereals withthe words "iron-added" on the label?M: Don't look at me.Q: What does the man mean?14. M: I was shocked when I heard you'd finished your research project a whole monthearly.W: How we managed to do it is still a mystery to me.M: So what about your findings?W: We've found that active women of child-bearing age are most likely to have low iron levels. Actually men are not safe either, especially if they don't eat meat and have a high level of physical activity.Q: What can be drawn from the conversation?15. W: Eggs are supposed to be one of the most healthy foods.M: Next to potatoes.Q: What does the man mean?16. M: The doctor tells me that I'm in the second stage of iron deficiency.W: The second stage?M: Yeah, there are three stages. The first and most common is having low iron reserves, a condition that typically has no symptoms. In the second stage, fatigue and poor performance may begin to appear.W: Then maybe there's nothing serious since you're not at the third stage.M: That's not true. According to the doctor, if I wait until that point, I'll be in trouble.Q: What does the man mean?17. M: Ms. Beard, when will you suggest we meet to discuss the new study further?W: I am not really sure. What do you suggest?M: Urmn, shall we meet, say, at 10:15 on Thursday?W: Sure.Q: Why are they going to meet?18. W: Ah, Jack, good to see you again. Everything ready in your clinic?M: Oh, yes, Miss Temple. We can start very early tomorrow. Have you told the women to be there at eight?W: They will all be there.M: Are there many women with the problem?W: Well, yes, quite a few. You see, some of them are not careful about their food choices and they don't pay attention to some warning signs.M: You can't change their habits easily.Q: What do the woman and man mainly talk about?19. M: It seems that you've been in such a bad mood lately.W: I get up late in the morning, but I still sleep a lot and feel sleepy.M: You'd better get up early and do some running in the morning.W: But I heard exercise can result in iron loss through a variety of mechanisms.Q: What does the woman mean?20. M: Would you like some more chicken?W: No, thanks. It is delicious, but I've had enough. I understand you've becomea real cook recently, Paul.M: Well, since my wife began working, I decided to help out by making the meals every once in a while.Q: How often does Paul do the cooking at home?Key: 1.

Next it became a toy again. Now the bicycle is becoming popular as a means of transportation once more.There are several reasons for the new popularity of bicycles. The cost of fuelfor cars is one reason. Another is the need to keep the environment clean. The third reason is a desire for exercise. Americans are one group of people who are leaving their cars at home. In fact, there are more than 100 million bicycles in the United States alone.。
