附：听力原文 　　(Text 1) 　　M：It’s a beautiful day today． 　　W：Yes．Did you listen to the weather report on the radio? 　　M：Yes, it’s going to be sunny for the next few days．We’ll visit the Summer Palace． 　　(Text 2) 　　W：When are you going to set off for Shanghai on business? 　　M：The day after tomorrow．That is the fourth of May． 　　(Text 3) 　　M：Have you seen my passport, darling? 　　W：What a poor memory you have!You put it in the desk drawer last night． 　　(Text 4) 　　W：Beijing Chaoyang District, where the 2008 Olympic main stadium will be located, is working hard to improve the conditions． 　　M：That’s good．Now the city has won the bid to host the Games, and a lot should be done． 　　(Text 5) 　　W：Excuse me．How can I get to the Student Center from here? 　　M：Well, you can go by bus or by taxi, but it’s not too far．Maybe you’ll like to walk． 　　W：Thank you．But I’d better go by taxi since it’s rather late． 　　(Text 6) 　　M：Hello．Are you the person who has a house for sale? 　　W：Yes, I am． 　　M：Well, the ad says that it has four bedrooms and three baths, just what I need for my family of six．May I ask how much you want for it? 　　W：I prefer not to talk about it over the phone, but let’s say it’s ＄ 50 000．But you should pay me ＄ 10 000 first．Why don’t you come by and take a look? 　　M：Well, I’m not sure if I could pay you such a large sum of money right now, but I would like to see the house．If you can tell me how to get to Churchill Avenue from South Florida Street, my wife and I’ll be over． 　　(Text 7) 　　W：Are you going somewhere for your vacation? 　　M：Yes, I’m making plans for a tour． 　　W：That’ll be lovely．Where are you going? 　　M：I start out from Long Island this Friday．I’ve planned a four-day drive to Salt Lake City, where I’ll join my brother and my family for his fortieth birthday． 　　W：Well, you got to prepare lots of food and enough sleeping bags then? 　　M：Oh, no．I’ll spend the nights in hotels and enjoy local food as I pass by．How does it sound? 　　W：It sounds good; you can do a lot of sightseeing, too． 　　M：Yes, I’ll take my time．And I’ll go to Disneyland． 　　W：So, you’re going to have a nice vacation． 　　(Text 8) 　　W：Bob, can we really afford a holiday? 　　M：Now listen．You work hard and I work hard．We’re not talking about whether we can have a holiday．We are talking about where and when． 　　W：Shall we go to Sweden? 　　M：Sweden’s colder than Sheffield．I’d rather not go to Sweden． 　　W：What about Florida? Florida’s warmer than Sheffield． 　　M：You are right, but it’s a long way．How long does it take to get from here to Florida? 　　W：All right．Let’s go to Hawaii． 　　M：You must be joking．How much would it cost for the two of us? 　　W：But the brochure says the problem of money will disappear．Bob, where do you really want to go? 　　M：I’m thinking of Wales or Scotland．Do you know why? 　　W：Yes, they’re right on our doorstep and so close to our home． 　　(Text 9) 　　W：I’m very sorry you didn’t win, Jack． 　　M：So am I．What a disappointment! 　　W：Come on, cheer up! 　　M：No, I feel terrible, Mary．And our classmates… 　　W：But you tried your best, didn’t you? 　　M：Yes, I did． 　　W：You won’t give up trying, will you? 　　M：No．I won’t．I’ll do better next time． 　　W：I’ll help you．We can practice together． 　　M：That would be great． 　　W：Then don’t look so sad, Jack． 　　M：I’ll try to cheer up． 　　W：You’ll get over it． 　　M：I know．Thanks a lot, Mary． 　　W：Come on．I’ll buy you a coffee． 　　M：Okay．Let’s go． 　　(Text 10) 　　You usually hear a British-sounding accent when a South African is speaking．Many of the ancestors of the English speakers in South Africa came originally from Britain．But in South Africa, many native language words also influence English．This may be because English is but one of South Africa’s 11 official languages． 　　If a South African invites you to a “braai”, you’re going to a barbecue．And if you want to meet someone at the barbecue, introduce yourself by saying “howzit”, which means “hello”．Canadians speak English much like their American neighbours．But when the cold northern winter arrives, Canadians don’t wear hats－they reach for their warm “toques” instead．And Canadians often add “eh” to the end of a sentence．“How’s it going, eh?” is a famous Canadian greeting．
