听力材料:第一节
M:Yes, Mrs.Smith, what can I do for you? Is it the washing machine again?
W:No, it’s the refrigerator this time.I think something is wrong with the temperature control.
W:Do you think we’ll be able to see the game clearly?
M:Don’t worry.There’s a good view of the players from all of the seats.
W:My hand still hurts from falling on the ice yesterday.I wonder if I broke something.
M:I’m not a doctor, but it’s not black and blue or anything.Maybe you just need to rest it for a few days.
W:I wonder if Jack will be here by 8∶00.He is supposed to be.
M:His mother said he left at 7∶30, so he should be here by 8∶15 at the latest.
M:I really enjoyed that TV program about whales last night.Did you get home in time to see it?
W:Oh, yes.But I wish I could have stayed awake long enough to see the whole thing.
W:I just read an interesting fact.Did you know that people who spend less than ten minutes in a store are five times more likely to buy things than those who spend half an hour there?
M:I read that article, too.But I think, if someone has been in a store for ten minutes, he usually has something special to buy.
W:And someone who spends more time there may be just looking?
M:Exactly.Haven’t you ever gone into a store, thinking you’d buy something, and then talked yourself out of it?
W:Yes, I have.Especially when I thought I could get it elsewhere, or I really didn’t need it at all.
M:Exactly.But if you run in to buy something special and have very little time, you pick it up, pay for it immediately, and then leave.
W:That’s true.Maybe we should learn a lesson from that:take your time and you’ll spend less money.
M:So, Susan, do you have anything planned for this Saturday?
W:Uh, I’m kind of busy.Why do you ask?
M:Oh, I was wondering if you’d like to get together and do something, like watching a movie or taking a walk down by the lake.
W:I’d love to, but I’m really going to be busy all day on Saturday.
M:What do you have going on that day?
W:First, my mom asked me to help clean the house in the morning, and then I have a doctor’s appointment at 12∶30.I have missed that twice before.
M:Well, what about after that?
W:Well, I’m going to be running around all day.After the doctor’s appointment, I need to meet Julie at 2∶00 to help her with her science project that’s due on Monday morning at school.
M:Okay, but are you free after that?
W:Hardly.Then I have to pick up my brother from football practice at 4∶30, and my mom asked me to cook dinner for the family at 5∶30.I feel like a slave sometimes.Then, I have to clean the dishes and finish my history exercise.Who knows how long it’ll take.
M:Wow, sounds like you’re going to have a full day.Hey listen, why don’t I come over later in the evening, and we can watch a movie.
W:Oh, that’d be great, but our video machine is broken.
M:Huh.Well, let’s just play a game or something else.
W:Sounds good, but give me a call before you come.My mom might try to come up with something else for me to do.
W:So, how are things going, Steve?
M:Well, to be honest, Carla, I was feeling great on Saturday, but I started to feel sick Sunday afternoon.I thought I’d get better, but I feel worse than before.And I’m really worried because I’m planning to work on Friday, so I have to be better by then.
W:Well, what seems to be the problem?
M:Well, I thought I had the flu, but the doctor said it was just a bad cold.He gave me some old medicine to take care of my running nose and fever.I’m supposed to take the medicine three times a day after eating, but it doesn’t seem to help.He also told me to stay off my feet for a day or so, but I’m so busy these days.
W:Listen, forget about that medicine! I have just the thing to get rid of bad colds.You see, my mom has a good study of Chinese medicine.
M:Oh, no, thanks.
W:Ah, come on! Give it a try.Believe me.You’ll be up and dancing around in no time.
M:Dancing around in no time, right? Well, I guess, nothing else seems to be doing the job.
W:Great.I’ll come by your place at 7∶30.See you then.
M:Morning, Sue.Did you enjoy your holiday in the country?
W:Yes, thanks.We had a great time.And some friends went with us.
M:Where did you stay? In a hotel?
W:No.We camped in the mountains, near Snowdon.We cooked all our meals over an open fire.
M:Sounds wonderful.Was the weather good?
W:The sun shone nearly every day and it didn’t rain at all.
M:Did you like the people there?
W:Yes, they were great.We met some farmers and had tea in their homes.
M:When did you get back? Last night?
W:No.This morning.We got up at 4∶30, left at 5∶00 and arrived here at 9∶00.I’m so tired.What about you? Did you have a good weekend?
M:Yes, but I didn’t do much.I just stayed at home.The weather was terrible.
Harry was a handsome young man with good manners.
One morning he was walking along a street on his way to visit a friend.He did not want to be early or late.He had forgotten to put on his watch so he went up to a man who was waiting for a taxi.
“Excuse me, sir,” he said very politely, “but could you tell me the time?”
The man, who was very well dressed and looked quite rich, said nothing.He did not even look at Harry.
Harry spoke to him again.“Excuse me, sir,” he said, “but could you please tell me what time it is?”
This time the man looked at him, but he did not speak and looked quickly away.Harry thought to himself:“Well, he isn’t unable to hear.He must be just impolite.”
“Why won’t tell me the time, sir?” he demanded.
The man turned towards him and said, “Try to understand me.I am standing here waiting for a taxi.You come up to me and ask me for the time.If I tell it to you, you will thank me.I will say, ‘That’s all right.’You may then say, ‘It’s a beautiful day, ’to which I may reply ‘Yes, I like these sunny winter days.’Before we know what is happening we have a friendly conversation.You are a pleasant, polite young man and so when my taxi comes, I offer you a ride.You accept.We talk.I like you.You like me.I invite you to my home.You meet my daughter.She is a very pretty girl.You are a good-looking man.You like each other.Soon you fall in love.You want to marry.Now do you understand my problem?”
