听力录音原文：
Text 1
W: Would it be all right if I left a bit early? I don’t feel very well today.
M: Yes, yes, by all means. The second part of the meeting is just free discussion.
Text 2
M: Do you have this shirt in other colors, ma’am?
W: Well, they come in white, yellow, red, and green. Will a white one do?
M: Yes, that’ll be nice. I’ll take one.
Text 3
W: Hi, Kent. Can you give me a lift? I’m late for work. My car’s broken down. It won’t start.
M: I’m sorry. I’m not going into town. But I can give you a lift to the bus station.
Text 4
M: I’m calling to ask if your hotel still serves Mexican food. I haven’t been there for years.
W: I’m afraid not, but you can easily find a Mexican restaurant close by.
Text 5
W: Hey, Bob. Would you please help me with these boxes?
M: Yes, if you promise to help me tidy up the house.
W: No problem. I’ll even do the dishes.
Text 6
M: Hi. Is Olivia there, please?
W: I’m sorry. She’s out for lunch. Do you want to leave a message?
M: Yes, this is Harris. Could you tell Olivia that I’ll wait for her at the box office of
the cinema at 7:10?
W: Sure, Harris. You’ll wait for her at the box office at 10.
M: No, at 7:10.
W: Oh, sorry. At 7:10. I’ll tell Olivia.
M: Thank you!
Text 7
M: Look at this armchair. What do you think?
W: Oh, I’m not sure I like the design. It’s too heavy looking. Is it comfortable?
M: Try it.
W: Hmm. It’s really comfortable! And I’d like to have something this size. Our old armchair
is way too small. This size is perfect.
M: What do you think of the color?
W: Well, green isn’t my favorite color, but it’s better than that terrible brown one we have
now. It’s okay, I guess. But blue would be perfect.
M: How much is it?
W: Oh, no. It’s $$999. That’s really too expensive. We can’t afford it right now.
M: I know. Why don’t we wait till next month for their mid-year sale? It might be cheaper
then.
W: Hey, that’s a good idea!

M: Mom, I’m a little worried about college. I just don’t know what to study. I don’t know
what my major should be.
W: That can be a difficult decision, John.
M: How can I decide?
W: Well, I’d start with your interests. It will help you if you study something that you are
interested in. What do you like to read and learn about or do?
M: I guess I like dancing and helping people. Those are my interests, I guess.
W: What do you mean by helping people?
M: If people have problems, I like to help solve them. Or if people are hurt, I like to try
to do things that make them feel better.
W: It sounds like you might be interested in medicine, then.
M: Uh, I don’t know…
W: Another thing I think you should consider is the possible jobs you might get and how much
money you want to make.

W: You can research different jobs at the library, and there are reports and data on how well
different jobs pay.
M: I want to have a well-paid job so that I can have the money to travel.
W: Well, there you go! Income is going to influence you most in your choice of major. There
is one other thing you should consider, too.
M: What’s that?
W: You know…scholarships, the money given to you for college. You might want to pick a major
that will allow you to get a special scholarship. I know you’ll make the right decision.
M: Thanks, Mom.
Text 10
M: Welcome to London this December! There’s plenty going on this month. For example, on
1 December, London’s West End, the capital’s best shopping district, has its largest ever
traffic-free day. More than a million visitors are expected to shop and enjoy various activities
while Oxford Street and Regent Street are completely closed to cars and buses. Shoppers will
be able to move around the streets, visiting our famous department stores, and having a bite
at one of the many cafes and restaurants in the area. Trafalgar Square’s Christmas tree, a
gift to London from Norway, will be lit at 6 p.m. on 6 December to the sounds of traditional
Christmas songs. Then, every evening from 10 December until 23 December, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.,
people will sing Christmas songs in this beautiful setting. Lastly, ring in the New Year with
the capital’s largest fireworks show. Although the fireworks will be set off at the British
Airways London Eye, they can be enjoyed from across London and will also be broadcast on
television at the same time. Then, just a few hours later, come out and see London’s colorful
New Year’s Day parade, when marching performers from around the world pass through the capital’s
streets. Enjoy your time in our city.
