听力原文:W: What did you think of the movie? Did you like it?
M: Not really, it was a little too artsy for me. It seemed like the director was trying so hard to impress us with storage close-ups and avant-garde dialogues that he forgot to include a story. I thought it was really boring.
W: I thought the movie was really thought-provoking. I love it when a movie makes you think. It's a nice change from the superficial dialogue and two-dimensional characters you usually see in films these days.
M: I don't really care for alternative films. They are so dark and depressing. The characters are always so intense. Why does a movie have to be sad to be deep?
W: Yeah, I know what you mean, but mainstream cinema is nothing but gun fights and exploding cars. I get so sick of movies like that. I prefer movies with substance.
M: But sometimes you don't want to think; sometimes you just want a light movie. Like that comedy movie with Billy Crystal--that was so hilarious. I laughed so hard that I cried.
W: Movies have to be more than entertaining to me.
M: Did you see that new mystery movie that came out last month? That was so suspenseful. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
W: I loved that movie. The plot was great, and the acting was incredible. I wouldn't be surprised if it were nominated for an Academy Award.
M: Well, at least we agree on something. I guess we'll have to stick to mysteries in the future.

听力原文:W: This food is terrible! I can't even finish my dinner.
M: I know, you think with all the money we paid for room and board, the university could hire a better food service. Where are you heading next?
W: I'm going over to the student recreation center to play some bridge.
M: You are spending your time on a card game?
W: Not just a card game. It's one of the most strategic games.
M: So I have heard. Don't you play with a partner?
W: Yeah! Four people play, two against the other two.
M: So, you try to play in cooperation with your partner?
W: Actually, the cards of one of the four players are turned face-up. That player is called the dummy.
M: I wouldn't want to be called that. When you are the dummy, what do you do while the cards are being played?
W: Anything you want. Sit there and study, shuffle another deck, get snacks for everyone... I like to stand behind my partner and watch. That is very interesting.
M: You know, I've heard that bridge is habit-forming. You should be careful not to play so much that you don't get your studying done.
W: Don't worry about me. I only play cards on Thursday after dinner, and sometimes when they need a fourth player. If you like, I could teach you.
M: Thanks, but I have a pretty heavy workload this semester. I already spend my evenings doing things I don't really know how to do yet.
W: I know you are busy, but sometimes you need to have a rest.

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 a 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.

听力原文:W: So, you'll be getting dressed up later--before you go to the BBC television studios.

W: What do you mean?
M: You can dress down. You can wear something casual. There's no need to get dressed up.
W: Well, I always try to make an effort to look smart!
M: Yes, of course, you always look fantastic, Mary. But you don't have to dress up for radio. The audience can't see you.
W: Ah, I see what you mean. In TV the audience can see you, so you have to look your best.
M: Exactly. You have to dress up. You put on something smart so you look the part.
W: Yes. I suppose if you're on TV, you have to look like a TV presenter; you have to be dressed right.
M: But in radio, the listeners can't see you so we can dress down if we want to.
W: Yes. That's why I sometimes wear jeans to work.
M: Exactly. On radio, I can take off my tie! I can even take off my shoes!
W: I don't think so! You don't have to wear your tie--you can take that off if you want to, but please don't take off your shoes!
