听力原文：W: Hi, Mike. I wonder if you have time to go with me to the cinema this Sunday.
M: Oh, I planned to finish my term paper that day, but Yamada invited me to a tea ceremony at his home.
W: Really？ You’re lucky! The tea ceremony is a special form. of entertainment for distinguished guests.
M: Yes, the tradition of tea ceremony has existed for about six hundred years. But, to be frank, I know little about those special and strict rules of the ceremony.
W: It’s not as hard as you imagine. I happened to have been invited to one tea ceremony once. I think I can give you some suggestions.
M: Oh, that’s good.
W: Remember, no matter what kind of tea ceremony you attend, they have one thing in common, that is, guests are invited to enjoy a moment of peace and calm.
M: Do you mean that the atmosphere is more important than the cakes and the tea itself？
W: Yes. And don’t forget to wash your hands in a rock water basin before entering the tea-room.
M: It sounds interesting. Is there a special room for a tea ceremony？
W: Of course. The room is very simple but very beautiful. The host and the guests will all sit on a kind of bamboo mats named ‘tatami’.
M: I know. I’m practicing to sit on my knees on the floor these days. My knees ached a lot.
W: But I’m sure the tea ceremony will release your pain and make you feel happy and peaceful.

听力原文：W: Hi, Jack. Tomorrow's the big day! You must be excited about going to France for your first international conference.
M: The trip, yes, but not the preparation.
W: What do you need to do except pack？
M: You know how you always feel so awful whenever you make big change in time zones？ This time I'm trying an anti-jet-lag program so I'll be alert even for the first day's lectures.
W: But how can you avoid jet lag？ With that late flight and a six-hour difference in time, it's bound to take you a couple of days to adjust.
M: Well, this program's supposed to get your body to feel like it's in the new time zone before you leave. The theory is that the food you eat actually tells your body when to be active and when to be restful, so changing your diet can help you be ready for the time change. You have to alternate feasting and fasting... you know sometimes eat a lot, sometimes just a little.
W: OK. Now I see why you're not enjoying the preparation. I can't quite picture you fasting!
M: Actually the worst is already over. Two days before the flight, you're supposed to have only light meals and limit yourself to eight hundred calories.
W: That must have been tough.
M: Yeah, but I'm making up for it today. Feast day is much better though I still don't get to eat any snacks after dinner.
(23)
A．Avoiding gaining weight while traveling.
B．Making reservations for the best travel.
C．New foods to try when traveling.
D．Adjusting to time changes when traveling.

听力原文：W: Hi Tim! How are you？
M: Fine, thank you.
W: I'd been wondering when I'd run into you. Have you been here long？
M: I arrived yesterday, on Sunday. How about you？
W: I got here a few days ago, on Saturday. No—wait a minute, what's to day？—Sorry Friday, not Saturday.
M: But we didn't have to be here till today.
W: Yes, I know, but I wanted to get my things moved into my room, and just take a look around. So, did you decide to do English in the end？
M: No, I changed my mind and opted for history instead. And you're doing biology, if I remember correctly.
W: Yes, although to start with I couldn't decide between that and geography.
M: How much reading have you got？ I was given an amazingly long list of books to read. See!
W: Wow, it does look pretty long.
M: Well, I counted 57. I could hardly believe it! What's your list like？
W: Well, it's not as long as yours, but there are 43 altogether. I don't know how I'm going to get through them all.
M: Well you don't have to read them all this week! You just have to stay ahead of the lectures and seminars. Have you got your class schedule yet？
W: Yep. It came with the reading list. When's your first lecture？

听力原文：W: Hi, Jack, have you finished Professor Smith's assignment？
M: The assignment？ No, not yet.
W: But tomorrow's the deadline.
M: Anna, take it easy. I can always pull it together in no time.
W: Hey, don't you think playing PC games takes up too much of your time？
M: Oh, computer games represent the latest technology. You can't simply ignore them.
W: I know. You can play as much as you like during the holiday, but not now. It's affecting your studies.
M: It's not. I feel I'm getting smarter day by day, and my reaction time is much quicker.
W: You only become alive and alert at those war games. In class, I saw you doze off.
M: It's not my fault. The textbooks are boring and the lectures are tedious. I dislike those teachers who love to call the roll. But the games are interesting, challenging and can broaden my mind as well.
W: I didn't say the games are all bad, but you can't play games all the time. Have you ever considered what you will do if you fail the exams？
M: well…
W: I know it's not easy to resist the temptation, but self-discipline is essential to one's success. It's part of one's character. Look at yourself in the mirror. You look pale and haggard. See, you have nothing but half a life.
M: Really？ Oh, heavens!
(20)
A．Teacher and student.
B．Mother and son.
C．Classmates.
D．Brother and sister

听力原文：M: Hi, Molly! What are you doing here？
W: Hi, Jack. The usual thing, shopping. How about you？
M: No shopping for me, I'm just looking. It's a long time until pay day and I have nothing left from my last salary.
W: Well, window shopping is OK, I guess. You know, you should really start to think more seriously about your money.
M: I know, I know. I try to save it, but I always spend it.
W: We should design a special spending plan for you. Every month you can spend some and save some. Then we can control when and how much you spend.
M: That sounds like a great idea, but I've already tried these types of plans. I can never stick to them.
W: Come on! You've got to try again. Can you believe that I used to be just like you？ I spent everything I earned, I never saved anything! But now I have some monthly rules that I always stick to. For example, when I get paid I always take 30% of my salary and put it into another bank account, my savings account, so I will have no chance to spend it.
M: I never thought of that. I only have one account, I keep all of my money there, so it's always available for me to spend.
W: Exactly, that's the first thing we will change. Go to your bank when you get paid and open another account, it's really easy. Let's say that next month will be a new beginning for you, no more crazy spending, OK？
M: Yes, you are right. I always buy countless items that I don't need and will never use. Maybe if the money isn't available I wont be tempted to spend it. Thanks Molly! That was some great advice.
(23)
A．He's window shopping.
B．Shoes.
C．A plan.
D．He's buying everything.

W: Tell me about it! Plus the application fees, $ 20 to $ 50 for each school. Good luck!

听力原文：W: Hi, Bob, (19) I hear you're running the Teaching Skills Summer Course. I might be interested in coming along if that's OK, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it every day.
M: Yes, it was such a big success last year that we're doing it again. It's a lot less intensive this time, though, so you might be able to come along to most of the sessions.
W: Can you give me the details, then？ I hear it starts on Tuesday the 2nd.
M: Well, actually the teachers are arriving on that day. Things get under way the day after. The induction session is on the first Wednesday.

M: Oh yeah, maybe we don't change that much after school after all. Anyway, on Thursday we have the first set of seminars, which are my favorite sessions.
