听力原文：(Text 10)

Everyone needs sleep so that their bodies can make up the energy used in the day．Growth takes place mainly when we are asleep．Children need more sleep than grown-ups because they are still growing．New-born babies sleep nearly all the time except when they are being fed．Although we are not conscious of anything when we are asleep, sometimes we dream．When we dream we imagine that we are awake．Often strange things seem to be happening to us．Dreams are a mixture of our fears and hopes and what we have done and thought．Sleep and dreams affect our moods and the moods affect our performance throughout the day．Generally, we will feel happier in the day if we sleep well at night．

　　W：Welcome to our program．Today we have invited Fred Watson, a driving instructor of over 20 years experience to talk to us about learning to drive．Well, Fred, do you think it’s getting more expensive to learn to drive these days?

　　M：Well, it depends．If you come for a private instructor like me, it’s probably going to be a bit less expensive than going to a big school．The thing is, people have usually heard of the big school and trust them．Well, I get customers through personal connections．

　　W：Does that mean you have to try harder to get customers??

　　M：Not now, when I started I have to．But at the moment I am fully booked and my prices are quite competitive．

　　W：Learning to drive is usually a nervous experience for beginners．What do you think?

　　M：Well, it can be．But I try to get them to sit quietly in the drive’s seat for a few moments．With their eyes closed, you will be surprised how it changed some people．They fell much more ready for driving if they had a few quiet moments．

　　W：Yes, I suppose some people are much more nervous than others．
