听力材料：第一节 　　M：Mary, can you stay for dinner? 　　W：I’d love to, but I have to go and send some mail before going shopping． 　　W：You have arranged to meet Mr．Johnson on Wednesday．So I don’t have to write to him, do I? 　　M：There’s no need to write to him． 　　M：Look! Jack has got the ball．He’s going like lightning towards Oxford’s goal．Oh, go on, Jack． 　　W：That Oxford centre half back is trying to stop him． 　　W：Did you see the film on Channel 4 last night? 　　M：Well, I meant to see it, but a friend of mine came to see me．We had a nice long chat about our school days． 　　W：I would certainly like to buy the brown suit I saw in the store, but I don’t have enough money． 　　M：Well, if you would cut down some of your expenses, you would be able to buy it． 　　第二节 　　M：I’m wondering if it’s going to be fine this afternoon． 　　W：For what? 　　M：The sports meeting! It’s fixed at 2∶00, but the fog! You can only see a short distance． 　　W：But don’t you see the wind’s beginning to lift it up? I bet it will be fine this afternoon． 　　M：Don’t be so sure． 　　W：You heard the forecast this morning, didn’t you? 　　M：No．That’s why I’m worried． 　　W：Why not try the 24-hour telephone weather forecast service? 　　M：Gee! How come I didn’t think of that? I’ll do it right away． 　　W：How soon do I have to leave my room? 　　M：Normally it’s by 12 noon on the day you leave． 　　W：Well, you see, my plane doesn’t go till half past five tomorrow afternoon． 　　M：I see．Which room is it, madam? 　　W：Room 577, my name is Browning． 　　M：Ah yes, Mrs．Browning．You may keep your room then till 2 p. m., if you wish． 　　W：Oh, that’s nice．By the way, how long will it take to get to the airport from here? 　　M：It’s usually a 90-minute ride．But you’d better set off at 2∶30 in case there is a traffic jam on the way． 　　M：Miss Dermott, let me ask you straight away．Do you think, within a few years, many people could work at home instead of working in offices? 　　W：Oh yes．It’s happening now．You see, the communications industry has made much progress in the last ten years． 　　M：And how do these people manage to work? I mean, what equipment do they have at home? 　　W：Well, they have a television set, a computer, a printer, and a telephone, to connect them with other computers． 　　M：Oh．I see．But surely there’re some advantages in being able to work at home． 　　W：Yes．Working at home, people don’t have to spend a lot of time getting to and from their work places． 　　M：Ah yes, I see．What do you think about the conditions of home-workers? 　　W：Oh, let me tell you what might happen．In the future a British firm in, for example, London, might employ clerks in Belfast, or a Paris company could have its secretaries in Spain, and then it just uses a telephone to call around for the labour． 　　W：Clinic．Can I help you? 　　M：Good afternoon．This is Frank Stone．I want to make an appointment with Dr Milton, please． 　　W：Yes, of course, Mr．Stone．We have you on our records．Can you manage this afternoon? 　　M：I’m afraid not．I can manage tomorrow． 　　W：I’m afraid Dr．Milton’s not on duty tomorrow．He’ll be here the day after tomorrow．That’s Thursday, March 27th． 　　M：Fine． 　　W：Will 5∶30 be all right? 　　M：Well, yes．But what time is the clinic closed? 　　W：We start from 9∶00 a. m. and close at 7∶00 p. m. on weekdays．We don’t work at the weekend． 　　M：I’d prefer a later time so that I can come along after work． 　　W：Then what about 6∶15? 　　M：Well, that’s fine． 　　M：Today I’d like to tell you something about traveling by bike in London．If you visit London, you’ll see a lot of buses and cars, and also a lot of bikes．It’s very cheap and quick to use a bike．If you take a bus, you often have to wait for half an hour or so．What’s more, the buses move very slowly．The underground is quick but very expensive and often crowded．I used to travel to work by bus．I often arrived at work late, and tired．Then a friend of mine suggested we go to work together by bike．I followed him．Although we went slowly, we always arrived on time．Taking a bus took 50 minutes, while riding a bike took only half an hour．Now I love riding a bike to work．I’ve got a little more money now, and I feel much better．
