听力原文:(Woman—Susan Man—David)
W: What is so interesting in that book, David?
M: Oh, Susan, it's a book about the changes in weather.
W: We certainly are having different weather this year, aren't we?
M: That's why I borrowed this book from the library. I wanted to read about differences in climate.
W: Does the book talk about cold weather like we've been having?
M: As a matter of fact, it does. It tells how weather seems to come in cycles. There will be periods of very cold winters and very hot summers.
W: Well, we've had both this year, haven't we?
M: Yes, and according to the book, that type of weather will last for several years.
W: Then what happens? Does it just continue to get colder and hotter?
M: No, that was what I was afraid of, but the book says that after the very cold/very hot cycle is over, there will be a time of moderate weather.
W: What do you mean by "moderate"?
M: The book says that the weather will be cold in the winter but not too cold. In the summer, the temperature will not be so high as it was this last summer.
W: Will it last for several years?
M: It seems that it will. It's a cycle, just like we're having now. Then it will go back to the very cold and very hot.
W: I'll look forward to the moderate years, then.
M: Me, too!

听力原文: Now, should a library be a quiet place to read a book or a lively centre where you can hang out and drink coffee? And can it be both? Author Tracy Chevalier who is also chairman of the Society of Authors, told MoFo News she is worried library is sacrificing books in favor of internet access and other facilities. Lena Techaty has mom.
Where I live? I have just a very small public library and, urn, I've noticed over the years that there are fewer and fewer shelves and more and more computers that's just slowly taking over and there are fewer and fewer places to sit in and look at any books and there are fewer books.
Is she right? Are books disappearing from our library shelves? Lena's figures show that in the UK last year, while people visiting libraries increased, the number of books in libraries actually fell by 3%. And the amount spent on books and other reading material also dropped, com- pared that to near 20% rise in the money spent on online resource.
Which is the most appropriate title for the passage?
A.The Development of Library in the UK
B.More Books and Fewer Computers in the Library
C.More Computers and Fewer Books in the Library
D.The Government's Growing Investment in the Library

听力原文: In February last year, my wife lost her job. Just as suddenly, the 6wner of the greenhouse where I worked as manager died at heart attack. His family announced that they were going to close the business because no one in the family wanted to run it. Things looked pretty gloomy. My wife and I read the want ads each day. Then one morning, as I was hanging out the "Going Out of Business" sign at the greenhouse, the door opened, and in walked a customer. She was an office manager whose company had just moved into the new office park on the edge of town. She was looking for pots and plants to place in the reception-areas in the offices. "I don't know anything about plants," she said, "I'm sure in a few weeks they'll all be dead." While I was helping her select her purchases ray mind was racing. Perhaps as many as a dozen firms have recently opened offices in the new office park, and there were several hundred more acres with construction underway. That afternoon, I drove out to the office park. By six o'clock that evening, I had signed contracts with seven companies to rent plants from me and pay me a fee to maintain them. Within a week, I had worked out an agreement to lease the greenhouse from the owner's family. Business is now increasing rapidly, and one day, we hope to be the proud owners of the greenhouse.

听力原文:M: Come in Emily and take a seat.
F: Thanks.
M: So, where do we start? Should we begin with a look at last year and then go on from there?
F: Fine.
M: So, how do you feel you've done in your first full year with the company?
F: Overall, I think I've done quite well. I feel quite confident now about what I do.
M: And are you happy with your duties?
F: Well, the job is exactly as it was advertised in the paper, so there have been no surprises. I like dealing with customers and I don't mind answering the phone and preparing invoices. Sometime it's a bit boring typing long price lists, but then everyone has to do it.
M: That's true. Does anything make your job difficult?
F: The computer. To begin with, I was slow because I didn't know the program, but now I get annoyed when the computer just stops working for no reason. I often sit looking at the monitor for minutes, not sure whether it is still working or not. I think the network is too old for our software and we need some new machines.
M: But apart from the computer, is there anything else you would like to change?
F: Erm, let me see. I'd like the authority to issue credit notes without having to ask you first. You're often away on business and sometimes customers ring up with a complaint. And if we can't contact you, then we can't deal with the complaint properly. It's a bit embarrassing at times.
M: Yes, but some of our customers always find something wrong and try and get a credit note with every order. You can't believe everything they say, you know. What about your objective for the future?
F: Well, I need to get 'to know the customers a bit better and maybe try to make fewer mistakes. But I think the most important thing is to increase my product knowledge, so don't, get embarrassed when customers make enquiries.
M: Don't worry. You'll learn all that in time. What I'd like to ask you about now is...
