supermarket this afternoon. So don’t worry about it.

Text 2 旅行很累 45
W: Hi, Henry. I heard you’ve travelled a lot recently.
M: Yeah, I just came back from Africa.
W: Well, I really envy you.
M: You won’t if you know how tiring it was. Now, I just want to take a break. A long
break.

Text 3 买了新车 45
W: Hi, John. What’s new?
M: Hi, Kate. Nothing too much with me, but you ought to see Fred’s new car.
W: So, he finally got that Italian sports car…
M: He sure did. I can hardly wait to go for a ride in it.

Text 4 图书馆借书 31

Text 5 搬家 42
W: Patrick moved out last Friday. He’s now living in a nice and quiet neighborhood.

Anyway, he must be very glad to live this noisy place.

Text 6 担心课堂演讲 64
M: Hi, Sara. How’s your speech for Professor Grey’s class next Monday?
- 3 -

W: Actually, I’m a bit worried.
M: Why should you? What’s going on?
W: You know...what I chose to talk about is British history.
M: Really? That is a big topic.
W: Yes. There are so many things to cover. I just can’t see how to do it in a
three-minute speech.

Text 7 安排讲座 123
M: Polly, Ms. Kelly has agreed to come and give a talk about international relations
next week. When do you think we can fit her lecture in?
W: That’s great, Nick. What about Friday afternoon, then?
M: I’m afraid some students are planning to go on a trip. Maybe we can have it on
Wednesday afternoon.
W: No, that’s not possible either. Most students are having group activities for their
research projects. Well, I have an idea. I have a class on Tuesday afternoon, and
probably Ms. Kelly can use my time.
M: That’s possible. But I have to speak to Dr. Li about that, and you should also talk
to the students about the change.
W: Oh, yes. I’ll certainly do that.

M: Left...
W: Yep, then right — first street on your right.
M: Right.
W: Then straight on, keep walking…
M: Oh, I’m lost! It sounds really difficult. Um, could I get a taxi anywhere near here?

There are buses that can take you there.
M: Well, it’s starting to rain. I think I’ll get a taxi. Thanks, anyway.
W: That’s okay. Lots of taxis go this way.

Text 9 采访旅游咨询处的工作人员 250
W: Hello, welcome to this week’s “People You Meet”. Today, we present to you
Mark Leach, an information officer in London.
M: Hi, everyone. My name’s Mark Leach. I’m an information officer at the Britain
Business Center, which is a tourist office for the British Tourist Board in London.
- 4 -

Here, we offer a tourist information service to mainly visitors from overseas. And
each year, we have about 500,000 people come to the office.
W: Wow, that’s a large number of people. How do you manage to meet the needs of
so many people?
M: I’m in charge of an information team. The team has about ten officers who give
tourist information directly over the counter to visitors. We speak a total of
thirteen languages altogether.
W: That’s pretty cool! So, what exactly do you do every day?
M: Well, we act as a one-stop shop for anyone who wants to come in. So, it could be
that they want a day-trip from London, which is a very popular request. And we
can offer suggestions of where to go and how to get there. If people want a
two-week tour of Britain, we can plan out exactly where to visit, what roads to
take.
W: So, do you have any suggestions for people coming to Britain?
M: A good suggestion is to see as much as you can, but try to come back again and
again to see different parts of the country. Because in that way, you’ll really
experience it.

Text 10 回忆童年时期 202
M: Right! Next, I’ll tell you something about my childhood. Although we have
always lived in the same city, my family and I moved a lot since I was old enough to
remember. We don’t have our own house. We have always rented them. For eight
years, we lived downtown in a large 10-story building with no less than 30 apartments
in it. The conditions were very good. But on the other hand, we had a lot of problems.
Imagine how difficult and colorless life was for a nine-year-old boy, full of life,
having no place to play freely. No sun, no open air, no football games. School’s from
7:30 to noon and the afternoon’s spent in a room studying, reading, or playing indoor
games with a friend or two. No outdoor activities because the streets were too
dangerous, and the parents much too afraid to let a young boy go out. How I wished
for the weekends to come. I could then burst out with joy and happiness when we
went out for a visit to some friends or relatives, a picnic, or even a car ride. I think
that’s one of the reasons why I became such a strong nature lover.
