听力材料 　　(Text 1) 　　M：What was it like working with those young stars? 　　W：Great, We filmed together and we had a great time． 　　(Text 2) 　　W：Tony was awarded a medal for rescuing several families from the forest fire． 　　M：I really admire his courage．If it were me, I would run as fast as I could． 　　(Text 3) 　　W：It was so violent that I had to close my eyes on several occasions．I just couldn’t watch what was happening on the screen． 　　M：But that’s why the movie’s excellent． 　　W：Well, if you call that excellent． 　　(Text 4) 　　M：So this is your office．I hope you don’t mind sharing． 　　W：Not at all．I’m used to it． 　　M：Fine．And you can use this computer．And for the phone, you just press1 for an outside line． 　　W：Thanks． 　　(Text 5) 　　W：Excuse me, can you help me? What exactly is coq au vin? 　　M：It’s chicken cooked in wine, madam． 　　W：I see．How is it cooked? 　　M：It’s done in the oven with red wine, onions, bacon, mushrooms and garlic．It’s one of the chef’s specialties． 　　(Text 6) 　　M：Mary, in your opinion, what’s the biggest social problem in Britain today? 　　W：Personal safety definitely．It’s definitely not safe on the streets at night, especially at weekends．There’s too much violence, so much aggression sometimes．Every day you read about something in the papers, someone got attacked, and there’s more knives and guns． 　　M：And what’s the answer to the problem? 　　W：I know a lot of people who say the police are the problem but for me⑦ the answer is more police, definitely． 　　(Text 7) 　　M：Hello．I’ve just missed my connection to London．I was booked on the 9∶30．⑧I just want to check if my ticket’s valid for the next train at 10∶30． 　　W：Um, yes, you’re OK．Obviously, you won’t have a seat reservation．You’ll probably get a seat in first class, if you want to change your ticket．You can just upgrade it．I can check how much it would cost． 　　M：Um…oh, no, it’s OK．⑩I don’t think my company would pay my expenses in first class!⑨Is the 10：30 on time, by the way? 　　W：Um…⑨It’s running 10 minutes late． 　　M：OK, thanks．⑩I’ll call the company now．Thank you．I’ll come back later． 　　(Text 8) 　　M：Marilyn, these are both top quality products! The quality is the same． 　　W：I know．But they don’t look the same．The one from Gild looks a modern vacuum cleaner．This Aero… 　　M：Aerosaurns． 　　M：Yeah．It looks like something from the 1960s． 　　W：I know．But what do most customers want? Do they want to pay a reasonable price for a modem vacuum cleaner, like Gilo, or pay more for something that looks like fifty years old? 　　M：Yes, but we need something different．OK, the Aerosaurus is more expensive, but it’s different．And Santra is making a good offer．And⒀Santra is offering cheaper delivery, as well．We can make a bigger profit． 　　W：But how many of these Aero…sauruses can we sell? It looks like a dinosaur! 　　M：That’s why people will love it1 　　(Text 9) 　　W：So, you’ve made your speech．Well done．Were you happy with it? 　　M：I don’t know．Well, ⒂I suppose I was reasonably pleased．I think they appreciated some of the things I said． 　　W：I thought it was good．I particularly liked the way you remembered to thank all of the other staff as well．I think that made everyone happy and got them on your side as well．Has it helped you when you have to do another one? What did you find most difficult about it? 　　M：The worst thing was feeling so nervous．I don’t know what you can do about that．Breathing exercises? Practising out loud? That sort of thing． 　　W：I don’t think your nerves showed very much, except maybe right at the start．⒃What I always do is make notes on small cards to remind me． 　　M：Yeah．That’s a good idea． 　　(Text 10) 　　W：I always dreamed of opening my own restaurant．I always loved cooking．So when it came time for college, ⒄I knew that the cooking institute was definitely the place for me, although a lot of my friends went to study computer and my father wanted me to study science．And when I graduated, I couldn’t wait to get started．Well, that was probably my first mistake．I didn’t go slowly．I picked a building for my restaurant in a residential neighbourhood．I took great effort in decoration．But the parking in the neighbourhood was really difficult．⒅I didn’t have enough regular customers, because people didn’t really drive by and see it．At first, I thought is was great not to have any competition, but I realize now that another restaurant or two would have brought people into the area．⒆My other mistake was that I wanted to serve only the best and use organic food．Well, the problem with that was I had to charge a lot of money for the meals．That didn’t help business either．⒇ If I had only known then what I know now．
