Only in this way can you keep fit. Yours, Li Hua 附：听力录音文稿 (Text 1) M: Good afternoon. I’m Robert Anderson. I have an appointment with Mrs. Brown. Is she in? W: Yes, she is. She’s been waiting for you in her office. Please come in. (Text 2) W: I was at the gate at one o’clock. How did I miss you? M: I got there at twelve o’clock and waited a while, but I left before you got there, around half past twelve, I guess. (Text 3) M: Excuse me, when will the 7:15 train arrive? W: It’s been delayed two hours because a bridge was broken. (Text 4) W: Could you please take me to the Hua Xing Cinema quickly? I’m already late. M: I’ll try, but the traffic is really heavy. It will take at least a half hour. (Text 5) M: Mary, you always go to school by bike. Why did you come on foot today? M: My bike is broken and is being repaired. And… I don’t like taking a bus. (Text 6) M: Well, Pat, what would you rather do tomorrow morning, stay in or go shopping? W: I’d like to go shopping, but there’s no need for you to come with me. I’d rather you had a rest at home. You must be tired out after writing your book the whole day. M: I’m a bit tired, but I’ll meet you for lunch. There’s a new restaurant just off the Kensington High Street. Do you think you’ll be able to find your way there? W: Oh, Bruce! It seems as if this were my first visit to London! You can tell me where it is in the morning. (Text 7) M: It’s so hard for me to learn English. Why is it so easy for you? W: I didn’t know you were having problems. Maybe it’s easier for me because I already speak two languages. But also, I really work at it. M: Well, I always do my homework and go to classes. What else do you think would help? W: Well, you might try reading newspapers. And I always talk to Americans when I get a chance, though sometimes it’s hard. M: But, how do you meet Americans? I only know other foreign students. W: How about sitting next to an American at lunch, or have you ever thought asking someone over to your house for dinner? M: Those are good ideas, but I’m a little shy to speak English. W: You won’t learn if you don’t try and speak. If I were you, I’d talk to your English teacher. He might have some good ideas. (Text 8) M: Hello, my name’s David Parker. I’m calling about the apartment advertised in the paper. Can you tell me something about it? W: Yes. It’s a one-bedroom apartment, with a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom and a balcony. M: Where is it located? W: It’s on Montreal Road. M: Is it furnished? W: Yes, it is furnished with sofas, a dining table, chairs and some appliances. M: How much is the rent? W: It’s five hundred dollars per month, including utilities. M: You mean gas, electricity and heat? W: Yes, that’s right. M: Is there anything like management fee or parking fee? W: The management fee is included in the rent, but parking is fifty dollars a month. M: Can I come and have a look at it today? W: Yes. How about one o’clock this afternoon? M: One o’clock sounds fine. See you then. W: See you. (Text 9) M: Are you looking forward to your trip to Canada, Susan? W: I can’t wait to see Canada, Jason, but I’m scared stiff of the journey. My husband insists on flying, but I want to sail. Planes make me nervous. M: There’s nothing to be frightened of. How many planes fly across the Atlantic every day? W: I’ve no idea. Hundreds, I suppose. M: And how often do you hear of a crash? Once or twice a year. W: Yes. But planes fly so high and fast that once is enough. M: There are more road accidents per day than air deaths per year. Air transport is really safe compared with road transport. W: I still prefer to go by sea. Ships may not travel fast, but at least you can relax. I’d love a trip on a luxury liner like the Queen Elizabeth II. M: It’s fine if you’re a good sailor, but have you ever traveled far in a rough sea? W: No. I’ve only been in a boat once. I sailed down the River Thames on a sightseeing tour. But in any case I’d rather be sea-sick than dead. (Text 10) Hello, everyone. I’d like to tell you a story about Miss Richards. Miss Richards was a teacher at a school for boys and girls. She taught chemistry and physics from the lowest to the highest classes in the school. Sometimes the new classes learned rapidly, but sometimes they were very slow, and then Miss Richards had to repeat things many times. One year, the first class had been studying chemistry for several weeks when Miss Richards suddenly asked, “What is water? Who knows? Hands up.” There was silence for a few seconds, and Miss Richards felt sad. But then one boy raised his hand. “Yes, Dick?” said Miss Richards encouragingly. He was not one of the brightest students in the class, so she was glad this boy could answer. “Water is a liquid which has no color until you wash your hands in it, then it turns black,” the boy replied.
