W: If we can find the money.

M: Don't worry, Marta. Everything will be taken care of. They say that fares are going to be reduced in the next six months. And when I graduate, well...

W: That's two years from now. Two years is a long time.

听力原文：W: Michael, do you go out to work？

M: (23) Not regularly. I used to have a job in a publishing company, but I decided it wasn't really what I wanted to do and what I wanted to do wouldn't earn me much money, so I gave up working, and luckily I had a private income from my family to support me and now I do the things I want to do. Some of them get paid like lecturing and teaching, and others don't.

W: What are the advantages of not having to go to work from nine till five？

M: (24) There're two advantages really. One is that if you feel tired you don't have to get up, and the other is that you can spend your time doing things you want to do rather than being forced to do the same thing all the time.

W: But surely that's in a sense very self-indulgent and very lucky because most of us have to go out and earn our livings. Do you feel justified in having this privileged position？

M: Yes. (25)I do things which I think are useful to people and the community and which I enjoy doing.

W: Does your wife think that in order to lead a balanced life, people need some form. of work？

M: Yes, she does. She thinks it's equally important that their attitude towards work should be positive and whatever work one is actually doing can become creative. Even when she cooks a meal, she thinks she is creating, in her own way, something which is very necessary to our family.

听力原文：M: Hello.

W: Hello, welcome to "Advice" radio program, what's your name？

M: Jim.

W: What's your problem？

M: Er...well I'm er...beginning to lose my hair. Er, 1 went to the doctor, but he just said there was nothing I could do about it. He said it was probably hereditary. My father was bald by the time he was thirty.

W: And how old are you？

M: Me？ I'm twenty-eight.

W: And are you losing a lot of hair then？

M: Well, it comes out a lot when I comb my hair and you can see a thin part on the top of my head.

W: Does that really worry you, Jim？

M: Well, I don't like it. It's old, you know, looks old. I don't want to look like a middle-aged man at twenty-eight. And I wonder if there is some special shampoo I should use, and if you could tell me one that I should buy, something like that, you know, to stop it getting worse.

W: Well, you know, Jim, to be honest with you there's not really a lot you can do about it, actually, I'm afraid. I mean, baldness is one of those things that, in my experience, you just have to try to accept. Some men find it more difficult to accept baldness than others. There is one piece of advice, though, Jim, and that's don't try to comb your hair over the bald or thin patch. Whatever you do, don't comb it over because that usually looks ridiculous. And the other thing that usually looks ridiculous is a man with a wig, that is, the false hairpiece. Don't let anyone persuade you to buy one of those false hairpiece things, because they usually look much worse than a bald man. I actually think bald men can look very attractive. My husband is bald and I think it really suits him.

(23)

A．It's hereditary.

B．The shampoo he used caused it.

C．He combs his hair too much.

D．He is old enough to lose hair.

Reading for A's

Where and when and what you study are all important. But the nearest desk and the best desk light, the world's regular schedule, the best leather-covered notebook and the most expensive textbooks you can buy will do you no good unless you know how to study. And how to study, it' you don't already have some clue, is probably the hardest thing you will have to learn in college. Some students who can master the entire system of imaginary numbers mom easily than other students can discover how to study the first chapter in the algebra book. Methods of studying vary. But two things are sure; nobody else can do your studying for you, and unless you do find a system that works, you won't get through college.

Meantime, there are a few rules that work for everybody.

Rule 1

The first is don't get behind. ]he problem of studying, hard enough to start with, becomes almost impossible when you are trying to do three weeks' work in one weekend. Even the fastest readers have trouble doing that. And if you are behind in written work that must be turned in, the teacher who accepts it that late will probably not give you full credit. Perhaps he may not accept it at all.

Getting behind in one class because you are spending so much time on another is really no excuse. Feeling pretty virtuous about the seven hours you spend on chemistry won't help one bit if the history

teacher pops a quiz. And many freshmen do get into trouble by spending too much time on one class at the expense of the others, either because they like one class much better or because they find it so much harder that they think they should devote ail their time to it. Whatever the mason, going whole hog for one class and neglecting the rest of them is a mistake, If you face this temptation, begin with the shortest and easiest assignments. Get them out of the way and then go on to the more difficult, time-consuming work. Uuless you do the easy work first, you are likely to spend so much time on the long, hard work that when midnight comes, you'll say to yourself, "Oh, that English assignment was so easy, I can do it any time," and go on to bed. The English assignment, easy as it was, won't get done.

If everything seems equally easy (or equally hard), leave whatever you like best until the end. There will be more incentive at half past eleven to read a political that sounded really interesting than to begin memorizing French irregular verbs, a necessary task that strikes you as pretty dull.

In spite of the noblest efforts, however, everybody does get a little behind in .something some time. When this happens to you, catch up. Don't skip the parts you missed and try to go ahead with the rest of the class while there is still a big gap showing. What you missed may make it impossible, or at least difficult, to understand what the rest of the class is doing now. If you are behind, lengthen your study periods for a few days until you catch up. Skip .the movie you meant to see or the nap you planned to take. Stay up a little later, if you have to. But catch up.

Rule 2

The second role that works for everybody is don't be afraid to mark in textbooks. A good student's books don't finish the term looking as fresh and clean as the day they were purchased: they look used, well used. In fact, the books look as though somebody had studied them... To get your money's worth from your textbooks, you must do more with them than just read them.

To begin with, when you first get a new textbook, look at the table of contents to see what material the book covers. Flip through the pages to see what study aids the author has provided: subheadings, summaries, charts, pictures, review questions at the end of each chapter. After you have found what the whole book covers, you will be better prepared to begin studying the chapter you h
