录音原文：
Text1
M: Are you going anywhere for Christmas?
W: I thought about going to my sister’s in New York. How about you?
M: I’ll probably just stay at home.
Text2
M: I’m going to the beach this Sunday. Would you like to come?
W: Oh, Sunday’s a bit of a problem. Some of my friends are coming for a dinner at my place. What about Saturday?
Text3
W:Mr. Baker, could I possibly use your phone? Ours doesn’t work. Judy is ill, and I want to call a doctor.
M:Sure. Come on in. Hope everything’s well with Judy.
Text4
W: Congratulations, John! I heard about your new job.
M: Thanks. It’s nearly perfect for me. The working hours are convenient, and it’s an easy walk from home. If only the pay
were half as good as everything else!
Text5
M: Kate, I’m going to a meeting tomorrow. Would you please help take my phone calls?
W:No problem, Jim. I’ll take a message if anyone calls.
Text6
M: Excuse me. One ticket, please. Do you give students a discount?
W:We do, but the museum will close in twenty minutes. We stop selling tickets at 3:30. It’s 3:40 now.
M: Could you possibly let me go in for a quick look? I can pay the full price.
W: I’m sorry, I can’t. And it’s not really worth it because you won’t be able to see everything within twenty minutes. You
can come back tomorrow morning. The museum opens at nine o’clock.
M:Well, in that case, I’ll do what you say.
Text7
W: Hi, Tom. How are you?
M:Hi, Jane. I’m fine. Listen, I plan to go swimming in the sports center this weekend. But it’s a long way, and I haven’t
got my driver’s license yet. How about us going together in your car? I’ll buy the tickets.
W: Well, it’s great, but I’ve got homework to do.
M: Come on! It doesn’t matter that you go out for one afternoon.
W:Oh, I really can’t. Although I finished my book report, the upcoming mid-term exam really makes me nervous. I don’t
think I’d enjoy an outing now. Sorry I can’t drive you.
M: Oh, don’t worry. I can find someone else. Good luck with your exam!
W: Thanks. See you!
M:Bye!
Text8
M: Hello. I’d like this guidebook, please. How much is it?
W: All things are free here.
M: Oh, thanks. I’ll stay in the city for one week. Could you tell me what places I should visit?
W: Well, there are a lot. Are you interested in islands, such as Lantau?
M: Islands?
W:Yes. There are a lot of interesting things you can see — old villages and churches. And the scenery is beautiful. Take
this booklet. It tells you more.
M: Thank you very much. That’s a great suggestion.
W: You are welcome.
Text9
W:Dr. Green, congratulations on the success of your new book! We learned that it has been translated into 30 languages —
English, of course, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, and so on.
M: Thanks, Helen.
W: Well, could you tell us what this popular book is about?
M:It’s called In Praise of Slow. It’s about how the world got stuck in fast-forward, and how more and more people
everywhere are slowing down. In other words, it’s about the rise of the Slow Movement.
W: What is the Slow Movement?
M:It is a revolution against the idea that faster is always better. When I say “slow”,I don’t mean doing everything
slowly. It’s about doing everything as well as possible, instead of as fast as possible. It’s about quality in everything
we do.
W: When and where was this “slow” idea born?
M:It was born in the early 1990s in Italy. It began as the Slow Food Movement,which centered on food. More recently, “slow
” has become popular worldwide.
W: Have we reached the point of trying to speed up something that cannot really be sped up?
M: Of course. The Internet connects us in wonderful ways, but it also leads us into trying to hurry up relationships. So
you find people online saying they have more than 4,000 friends. The very idea of friendship is not considered important.
And we may be losing the ability to make friends. In Britain, a study found that in the past ten years, the number of
children who say they have no best friend rose from under one in eight to nearly one in five!
Text10
Good morning, everyone. I’m pleased to be here to give a talk. We’re two brothers from Canada, and we’ve been living in
Thailand for eight years. We noticed that most English lessons here in schools focus only on reading and writing, so a lot
of people can’t understand and speak well in English. And we’d like to do something about it. Our idea is simple: we want
to teach people how to understand and speak English like a native speaker. Different from broadcast English programs, we
design special fun English programs based on the computer and use them to teach words and expressions we use in real life.
We talk in a casual style on a number of interesting topics, and we share personal stories from our real lives. Now, we
have over 200 units on our website. We make a new unit every week that you can listen to on your computer anytime you want.
Our materials are from English movies, TV shows, and real-life conversations. We hope people will use the materials to
practice every day. We are sure that your English will improve a lot.

It’s a time when school, homework ,active social lives and pare-time jobs keep teenagers busy from early in the morning until late at night .they are likely to try to make up for a lake of sleep by “sleeping in” on the weekends.
Unfortunately ,this causes irregular sleep and actually makes the problem worse.
Most teenagers are not able to fall asleep until late at night. Since many teens aren’t sleepy until around 11 pm .but need to be at school by 7:30 or 8:00 am .they cannot get enough sleep .during puberty, the biological clock in the brain naturally re-sets to a later time ,and this causes teens to fall asleep later. Then ,when it’s time to get up ,a teen’s body clock is likely to still be producing the night-time hormones .This makes it hard for them to feel active and energetic in the morning.
A growing body of research suggests that starting high school later improves attendance, achievements and grades .A few years ago in an important study ,test scores on the SAT college entrance exams in Edina, Minnesota jumped more than 100 points on average, when the morning school bell rang an hour later. Unfortunately, most schools are not set up to start later fail to satisfy teen’s sleep needs.
21. What effect does “sleeping in” on the weekends have on teenagers?
A. Improving their health
B.Weakening their energy
C.Disturbing their biological clock
D.Making up for their hormone loss
22. The study in Minnesota shows that starting morning school one hour later helps to______.
A.make teenages grow faster
B.change teenages’sleep needs
C.do more research on teenagers
D.improve students’ achievements’
23. The text helps us to know more about teenagers’______.
Adaytime activities
B.sleeping habits
C.mental problems
D.studying methods

We feel it important to start reading to your children to your child right from the start –the younger the
better!With little ones(children from birth to 4)it is very important to read and reread books. Starting early makes the
job
of the listener(for you will be teaching your child how to listen)easier,as it helps to develop an early love of the
written
and spoken word.
We believe that you should read aloud to your child at least once every day .Set a special reading time during the
day or evening when you can set down and enjoy the book,without interruption. For most families,reading alone at
bedtime is a common practice.
We understand that it can be quit discouraging to read to a child who takes ni interest .Take heart!Learning to
listen takes experience .The more you read ,the more your child will learn to sit for a story .Children have a
natural
development of responses(反应)to your reading .By the time your child reaches6-7 months,s/he is attracted by the book
in your hand ,and would like to test it out by using it as a chew(咀嚼)toy.This is natural!By one year, your
child is
learning to listen and talk about the pages,often shouting out things s/he recognizes. Encourage this!And at the
onset
(起始)of walking ,you have your biggest challenge yet.your child is always on the go.you need to set your reading time
for a time in the day when your child is prepaing to settle down.This means badtime. Remember,it is your right and duty
to teach your child about the power of books. Of course ,it doesn’t happen overnight, but the returns are great!
28.Who does”the listener”in the first paragraph refer to?
A.The writer
C.The parent
B.The child
D.The teacher
29.The best time of the day to read stories to a child is ______.
