听力原文:M: Holly, is it possible to borrow your notes? I'll return them tomorrow.
W: Sorry, but I usually go to the cafeteria and review them. Say, how about copying them over in the library?
M: OK. I think I've got enough coins for the machines.
W: No problem. But I don't understand why you need my notes, Carter; you haven't missed any classes.
M: Weekday mornings, I'm a cashier at a coffee shop downtown. After work, I come directly to school!
W: Wow, you're probably exhausted!
M: That's exactly why I want to borrow your notes. I've been nodding off during class, so my notes aren't very good.
W: Well, here's Professor Lahelle. How are you feeling?
M: I'm usually awake at the beginning. But after thirty minutes into class, I'm having trouble keeping my eyes open.
W: Listen. I need someone to study with, and you need someone to keep you awake; want to be study partners?
M: Yeah, I'd sure appreciate it.
W: OK, let's start today at the library. We're going there anyway, and I don't have to go to the cafeteria.

听力原文:M: So, you're an architect.
W: Yes.
M: Do you work for a public or a private organization, or you're self-employed, that is working on you own?
W: I'm working for a private designing construction company.
M: How did you start your career?
W: I started it with the government.
M: Oh, did you? What made you decide to work for the government?
W: Well, it was a matter of chances, really. I saw an advertisement for a vacant position in the newspaper and I thought "why don't you try it". In fact, I have no preferences where I work, public or private.
M: And do you still have this idea, or...
W: More or less, yes. Although I'm now working with a private firm, I worked for the government for about three years. It was all right. Of course, there is the bureaucracy that one has to put up with but that's no that had. If you don't mind bureaucratic wheels turning slowly and things not being as efficient.
M: Mm, ha, and what made you leave the public sector?
W:Money mainly. You see, I got married, and my husband doesn't work, and we wanted to start a family right away. So we thought it might be better if I moved to the private sector. This is why it's hard for me to be self-employed, because self-employed work has a disadvantage that there may be time or a period of time when you are unemployed.

A.A newspaper.
B.The government.

听力原文: The first step to stop drug abuse is knowing why people start to use drugs. The reasons people abuse drugs are as different as people are from one to another. But there seems to be one common thread: people seem to take drugs to change the way they feel. They want to feel better or to feel happy or to feel nothing. Sometimes, they want to forget or to remember. People often feel better about the roseleaf when they are under the influence of drugs. But the effects don't last long. Drugs don't solve problems. They just postpone them. No matter how far drugs may take you, it's always around trip. After a while, people who miss drugs may feel worse about themselves, and then they may use more drugs. If someone you know is using or abusing drugs, you can help. The most important part you can play is to be there. You can let your friends know that you care. You can listen and try to solve the problem behind your friend's need to use drugs. Two people together can often solve a problem that seems too big for one person alone. Studies of heavy abusers in the United States show that they felt unloved and unwanted. They didn't have close friends to talk to. When you or your friends take the time to care for each other, you're all helping to stop drugs abuse. After all, what is a friend for?
(23)
A.To show off their wealth.
B.To feel good.
C.To regain their memory.
D.To be different from others.

Snowboarding
Victoria Jamieson from Britain started snowboarding at 20. She is now 23 and has won many competitions in this sport. We spoke to her when she was at a snowboarding competition last week in Switzerland and asked her why she started the sport.
'I've always liked all kinds of sports, especially skiing, and it seemed natural to start snowboardlng. It doesn't take long to learn and you can become really good in a few months.'
We asked her if she had to do a lot of practice. 'Well, in winter I snowboard in the mountains every day from 8.30 a.m. until 4 p.m. I also run and go hiking. But I just love doing it all! I like the competitions and being in the mountains. It's so beautiful. But free-riding, that's doing what you want when you're not in a competition, is the best thing in the world for me.'
We asked her what is important when you're learning. 'You can learn quickly but you need lessons. It's also important to have the right clothes so you don't get wet because, to begin with, you spend a lot of time falling down!'
Victoria was visiting Switzerland for a competition.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Doesn't say

听力原文:W: Hi, Li Hua. What are you doing this semester?
M: Oh, I'm still learning English. I have to do one more semester before I can start my real studies at the university.
W: You make it sound like prison. How are the classes?
M: They're all right, I guess. I don't know. It seems like they never tell us what we really need to know.
W: What do you mean?
M: Look, when I study mathematics, for instance, we start with definitions. Then we have problems and some equations and processes to learn. You go to class, you keep up, you do the homework, and you know it. You pass exams. But English class is quite different. First of all, they don't want to teach us all the rules. They tell us one rule. Fine. We use that rule, but soon it won't work. It's more complicated or there are a lot of exceptions or something. Sometimes I think the teachers don't know the rules either.
W: But you don't learn a language from the rules, anyway. You have to use it.
M: Yes. That's something else they tell us. But why can't we just go to class, study, and do our homework? That's what I know how to do.
W: Look at this way, can you learn to play soccer by sitting at home and reading about soccer?
M: No, of course not. Not if you want to play well.
W: But why not? You could understand the rules of strategy, the duties of each position, and all the special situations. You have to feel the ball, practice kicking it hundreds of times, practice running down the field, moving toward the goal, and centering the ball. No one can learn that by passively studying. Learning a language is more like learning to play soccer than learning mathematics. You have to ask a lot of questions and hear how the answers sound. You have to listen to how people indicate the important part of what they're saying. And then of course endless practice on all the details spelling, "s" endings, articles.., just like practice in simple dribbling and kicking.
M: But if it's a skill like soccer, not a science, why do they teach it in schools and universities, and give you diplomas and grades?
W: That's a good question. It is confusing, but languages are important and people do want to learn them. But the main thing is to practice the language a lot, just like soccer.
M: Maybe I'll join a soccer team and practice English and soccer at the same time. I can talk with people before and after the practice.
W: That's a good idea.

A.The rules in English language.
B.Learning English and mathematics.
