听力原文：M: How is your term paper coming along？
W: I have just finished the draft, and handed it in to Miss Harper.
M: Wow, you are really a doer. I planned to start writing the main body today. What did Miss Harper say about your draft？
W: Well, she suggested I reconsider the whole structure of my paper, as she saw no links between Chapter Three and the whole theme.
M: Oh, so what are you going to do？
W: Miss Harper advised me to delete Chapter Three, and enrich the other chapters. She also recommended a few books. I think that will be of great help. And I'm going to the library this afternoon.
M: I wish I could have Miss Harper be my supervisor. She tends to help her students with patience.
W: Who is your supervisor, then？
M: Mr. Simpson. You should know that he is famous for being strict, and rather, picky.
W: In my opinion, Mr. Simpson is quite responsible, though sometimes he seems to be too direct. All in all, he is quite nice.
M: If you were in my shoes, I'm sure you wouldn't say so. Anyway, I have revised the outline at least three times to meet his requirements. That's why I fall far behind you.
W: Just as the saying goes, a strict master brings up accomplished disciples. You are lucky enough to have Mr. Simpson be your supervisor.
M: You've got a point there. Do you mind my going to the library with you together？ Maybe you could give me some advice on writing the term paper.
W: Of course not. I'll gladly do what I can to help.

听力原文：M: So, Claire, you are into drama.
W: Yes, I've a master's degree in Drama and Theater. At the moment, I am hoping to get onto a PHD program.
M: What excites you about drama？

M: That would be useful.
W: Yeah, it's very useful for me as well. I'm an English lecturer, so I use a lot of drama in my classes, such as role-plays. And I ask my students to create mini-dramas. They really respond well. At the moment, I am hoping to get onto a PHD course. I would like to concentrate on Asian drama and try to bring Asian theater to the world attention. I don't know how successful I will be, but here is hoping.
M: Oh, I'm sure you will be successful. Now, Claire, what do you do for stage fright？

M: What？ For teaching？
W: Yes! I get really had stage fright, but the minute I step into the classroom or get onto the stage, it just all falls into place. Then I just feel like "Yeah, this is what I'm made to do." and I am fine.

Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky.
If you say to your children “I’m sorry I got angry with you, but …” what follows that “but” can render the apology ineffective: ” I had a bad day” or “your noise was giving me a headache ” leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior. in expecting an apology.
Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say “I’m sorry you’re upset” ; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.
Then there is the general, all covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. Saying “I’m useless as a parent” does not commit a person to any specific improvement.
These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness, Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not resort to these pseudo-apologies.
But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition, children still need help to become a ware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children’s expectations can require an apology. A 12-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent’s clothes without permission is not.
36.If a mother adds ”but” to an apology,________.
A．she doesn’t feel that she should have apologized
B．she does not realize that the child has been hurt
C．the child may find the apology easier to accept
D．the child may feel that he owes her an apology

听力原文：M: Mind if I switch channels？ Those TV commercials are killing me.
W: How can you say that？ Watch: "Take Toshiba, take the world." Fantastic! There's a product you can depend on. A powerful product.
M: If I were you, I wouldn't trust those commercials.
W: Now, look at this McDonald's commercial! Aren't those little kids cute？ Oh, and there's such a warm family feeling.
M: Just how an advertising agency wants you to see McDonald's. You're the target audience. When they make TV commercials, they use scientific methods to learn what you'll like and buy.
W: Are you telling me those darling little children biting into Big Macs are part of a scientific project to get me into McDonald's？
M: Advertisers don't bother with facts any more. Instead they want the end-user, that's you, to fall in love with their product.
W: I see. So what you're saying is," Watch out, or commercials will take over your life."
M: Yes, just wake up. Many competitors are spending piles of money to increase their market shares, bur only can celing out each other's efforts and neither would win. What's more, the extra costs of advertising will certainly be passed on to the customers.
W: But anyway the advertising will produce a good image of a product and that leads to consumer brand loyalty. That's to say, consumers are loyal to a certain product and keep buying it and they're willing to pay more.
M: That's the problem. More advertising means higher costs to the consumer. so in the end the winner is always the company, not the customer.

A．Advantages of TV shopping.
B．Their favorite TV channels.
C．Beware of advertising on TV.
D．Popularity of advertised products.

听力原文：M: So, how is your new roommate, Sarah？
W: She really turns me off, I have to say.
M: How come？ Didn't she move in just a week ago？
W: Yes, she did. But she's driving me crazy. (19)She's always making loud noises at midnight and when I remind her, she always makes rude remarks. What's more, she would mess up the room, (20) and I have to do the cleaning twice a day.
M: That's too bad. Haven't you talk about it with her？
W: Of course, I have. But it didn't work; she just pretended not to hear me. I'm thinking about complain to our instructor. I hope she will be forced to move out.
M: Well, good luck, then. By the way, where did your former roommate go？
W: You mean Jenny？ (21) She went to America for further education. I learned from her email that she seemed to meet her Mr. Right on her vacation in California. I guess she may get married in a few months.
M: Oh, that's so disappointing. Then I will have no chance to tell her how I feel.
W: Oh my God. Are you saying that you have feeling for Jenny？
M: I'm just kidding. But I do miss her. You know, she has done me a big favor last month. I was doing some shopping that day, but when I was at the cashier's, I found I had left my wallet home. Luckily, Jenny was there. And it was she that helped me out.

M: Ah, it's a pleasure to be here.
W: Now, Dr. Adams, tell us about your research.
M: Well, one of the most important keys to learning another language is to establish a regular study program, like planning a few minutes every morning around breakfast time.
W: Now, sorry for saying this, but your ideas may sound a little simplistic to our viewers. I mean I took Spanish in high school for four years, and I didn't become a proficient speaker of the language.
M: Well, I think there are many people feeling that way, and that's just it. I'm not implying that we can become fluent speakers in a matter of a few minutes here and there, but rather following a regular, consistent, and focused Course of study can help us on the way to the promised land of language mastery, and remember there is a difference between native fluency and proficiency in a language, and I am proposing the latter.
W: So what are some of the basic keys you are suggesting？
M: Well, as I just mentioned, people need to plan out their study by setting realistic and attainable goals from the beginning. I mean, some people get caught up in the craze of learning the language in 30 days, only to become disenchanted when they don't perform. up tO their expectations. And small steps, little by little, arc the key. For example, planning to learn five new vocabulary words a day and to learn to usc them actively is far better than learning 30 and forgetting them the next day.
W: Um-hum. I'm sure your ideas are beneficial to those language learners. Thanks for joining us.
M: My pleasure.
