【听力材料】 (Text 1)

W: Welcome to my new house. What do you think of it?

M: Oh, it is so beautiful. And it is so big.

W: And what about the new sofa? I chose it specially from a market selling imported goods.

M: Oh, I love it. But why don’t you put it over there under the window? W: Oh, but the plants are doing well on the table over there, right?

M: Er, yeah.

(Text 2)

M: My teacher wants us to watch more English programs on TV.

W: Yes. Watching the news on TV is an especially good way to improve your English. Don’t you think so?

M: But it would be better if you could check the same information in English newspapers

afterwards.

W: Sounds good. Maybe that is worth a try.

(Text 3) W: Jack, I am sorry to be late. Thank you for waiting.

M: Oh, I didn’t mind. I’ve only been here for fifty minutes.

W: Oh, what were you doing all that time?

M: You said that you might be as much as an hour late, so I just bought a newspaper and ordered

myself a cup of coffee. (Text 4)

M: You look so worried. What happened?

W: Betty will arrive home today. I hope she drives carefully. You know how the traffic is at this

time of year.

M: Oh, Betty is good at driving carefully. I don’t think we need to worry. W: True. But there are a lot of wild drivers out there.

M: Come on. Just relax. She will be fine.

(Text 5)

W: Oh, where on earth are we?

M: It seems we are near the heart of the downtown area ― the most unsuitable place for a picnic. W: Why don’t you stop and ask a policeman how to get back onto the main highway?

M: But it says “NONSTOP” here. By the way, where is the policeman? Shall we drive to the

police station to ask?

W: Oh, I can’t stand it any more!

M: Wow! Take it easy! (Text 6)

W: Excuse me, may I go into the campus to meet Mrs. Brown? I have something important to tell

her.

M: Oh, sorry, Ms. No one will be allowed to go through the gate to the teaching building during

the classes. W: Oh, what a pity! Er, can you help me to take a message to her?

M: Sure. Er, you want to see Mrs. Brown, a PE teacher, don’t you?

W: Oh, yeah.

M: Good. She is now cleaning the ground outside with the pupils over there. W: Where? There are three teachers, one in blue, one in red and ...

M: Oh, you will see her. She is wearing a white T-shirt.

W: Oh, I see.

M: Right. I will go and call her to come here. Wait a minute.

W: Oh. Thank you very much. (Text 7)

W: Hi, Fred. Haven’t seen you for ages. How are you getting along with your work?

M: Hi, Sue. Not as well as expected. I’ve left my position. I can’t bear the rudeness of my boss

any longer.

W: What are you going to do then? M: No idea. Anyway, I’ve got to think about it seriously. And you?

W: I’ve been very successful as a singer. I like this kind of life. It is so exciting.

M: You can’t do that for ever.

W: No, but I’ve decided to open a singing school once I’ve moved to the top. A lot of young

singers need better training. M: That’s a good idea.

(Text 8)

W: Do you think the Internet is good?

M: Of course! The Internet can help us learn more things. We can find information we need.

And ... W: Wait, some people would agree with you. But I don’t think so. Now there are many students

throwing themselves into the Internet and can’t get out. And their grades come down really

quickly.

M: But everyone needs relaxation. Of course they relaxed a lot, but we can’t think the Internet is

bad. It can help us in many ways. We can visit the school website and learn things we don’t know very much because we are all students. Don’t you think so? We can use it in many ways,

although some are bad, but not all ways are bad. I think you have used it before.

W: Yeah, it’s true. But there is much unhealthy information, you know.

M: But there is even more useful information. Why do you only see the bad side of the Internet?

W: Maybe you are right. (Text 9)

M: I’m terribly sorry I’m late.

W: Oh, it really doesn’t matter, does it? I’ve been waiting here for over an hour!

M: Yes, I would have come on time.

W: My time isn’t that important, is it? M: Oh, dear. Please don’t be like that. Let me explain. I tried to get here on time, but just after I

left home, the car broke down, and I had to have it repaired.

W: Why didn’t you at least phone me?

M: But I didn’t know the number of the restaurant.

W: You could have looked it up in the telephone book! M: Yes, but you will never believe this. I knew where the restaurant was, but I forgot the name of
