听力原文：M: Say, Lisa, what are you watching？

W: An old Japanese film. I'm going to spend next year there, so I'd better start familiarizing myself with the culture (23) .

M: You mean you are accepted into the program？

W: Sure was.

M: That's wonderful. You must be very-excited.

W: Excited and nervous. You know I owe a lot to Professor Whitehead. He wrote a letter of recommendation for me and he bought me some tapes and books so I can work on my basic conversation skills (24) .

M: How much Japanese can you understand？

W: Not a lot right now. But I signed up for Intensive Japanese this semester.

M: I wish I were as talented as you are in foreign languages. I'd love to study abroad.

W: Then why don't you？ The university has lots of overseas programs that don't require mastery of a foreign language. The tuition is about the same. You just have to be the kind of person who is willing to accept new culture and who can also adapt to a different kind of life style. (25) .

M: Really？ I might check into this.

W: You won't regret it.

(20)

A．Taping some music.

B．Watching a film.

C．Making a video recording.

D．Writing a letter.

听力原文：W: First of all, when do people start work in American offices？

M: Right, well, the official workdays start at 9 a. m.. It should really mean 9 o'clock, not ten past or half past nine.

W: Would you say that people work very hard in offices in America？

M: Well, I don't know about the employees in your country, but some nations have a philosophy that you only work when the boss is around. And any time he is not there, one can relax by reading the newspaper or whatever one likes doing in a personal way.

W: And things are different in the States, you are saying？

M: Well, in America, one is being paid for one's time. So employees are expected to find other work if their own desks are clear, or to help someone else with his or her work. But you never sit idle doing nothing.

W: Yes, as the saying goes, time is money.

M: Exactly. Your employer owns your time while he is paying you for it. That is precisely what "time is money" means. And anyway the boss does not ask more of you than he is doing himself. He will probably work to the lunch hour himself or even take work until night.

W: Talking about lunch hours. What about them？ Do you take them seriously？

M: Oh, yes, sure, of course. The employee's lunch hour should be taken within the period allowed unless you are officially discussing company business, say, on a business lunch. It's the same, too, with the end of the day. I mean, work until the day officially ends at five o'clock unless you are in the office work, where flextime, is, is accepted practice.

W: Oh, so you have the flextime system, do you？ I wasn't sure about that.

M: Oh, yes, sure. Flexible working hours, that is, starting or ending work earlier or later. I know, it is still relatively new. However there are more and more Americans on the system today. Well, for the same reasons as in Europe to keep traffic and commuting problems down. And as more women now work, it gives more family time.

W: Urn. Could you say something about contract of hiring in America, please？

M: Well, it's different in America from, say, European countries like Germany or France, perhaps Japan, too. I'm not sure. I know that in some countries, people relax when they have once got a job because they know they will almost never be fired unless they do something wrong.

W: Do you mean that your employer can just fire you in America？

M: No, no, no. There are of course legal protections in the US. So employees cannot be unjustly fired without good reasons. Workers must do a good job, produce well and get along with their colleagues, or they can be let go, as it is called.

W: So one day to the next, you mean.

M: Well, it's really done without warning. But it is important to remember that in the US you are a member of a business firm and not a family. It makes a difference.

W: I wonder, are the physical or external appearances of office life different from European offices？

M: Well, I have heard people comment on the informality found in American offices. And this is certainly a little difficult for people who are more used to hierarchical system, of course. There are some very formal offices, too, say, big banks, law firms, and major corporations. But in many establishments with fewer employees, the atmosphere is loose and easy with a lot of joking and teasing and wandering in and out of the offices among all levels of employees.

W: Well, that sounds quite interesting. I think that's all I want to know really. Thank you very much.

M: My pleasure.

Employees in the US are paid for their time. This means that they are supposed to

A．work hard while their boss is around.

B．come to work when there is work to be done.

C．work with initiative and willingness.

D．work through their lunch break.

听力原文：M: Hello. I need to talk with someone about my driver's license.

W: Yes. How may I help yon？ Do you have a driver' s license, or do you need to get one？

M: Well, I'm not sure. You see, I have an international driver's license.

W: Uhuh. And how long will you be staying in the United States？

M: Probably four years, until I finish my degree.

W: Oh. Then you will need to get in Arizona driver's license.

M: Do I have to take a driver' s test to do that？

W: Yes, you do. You need to come in and take a written exam and an eye exam, and then you need to take it road test with a parallel parking test. Did you say that you are a student？

M: Yes, I'm a student at the university. I don' t have ID with me, but I can go and get it.

W: Okay. Then you can apply for a limited license. Just come back and show your student ID, and you can make application for a five - year license.

M: Great. That' s what I want. So I don' t have to take the driver's test then.

W: Oh, yes you do. The limited license only costs you ten dollars. A regular license would cost you a lot more than that, but it is valid for more than five years.

M: Why can't I just use my international driver's license？

W: You could if you were just visiting a lot less than a year. But as a student, you will be temporarily residing in our state.

M: Okay. So that's why my friend can use his international license, he is a tourist.

W: Right.

听力原文：W: Roger, any problems in your Korean study？

M: The biggest problem with me is the Korean vocabulary. It really makes me frustrated．The pronunciation and usage put me into great confusion as l keep forgetting them.

W: I guess first of all，you can narrow down the vocabulary sphere. I mean, try to learn “core” vocabulary，the words with high frequencies of occurrence.

M: That sounds quite reasonable. Do you think I can find in bookstores a book or dictionary where such kinds of words are listed？

W: Yes, definitely. Another thing, the first several occurrences of strange words ale very important words are remembered best if they are learnt quickly with a few presentations. You may not have much trouble in remembering swear words，may you？

M: No. They're very impressive and quite memorable. I don't even need to practice them.

W: That's it! For other words lat don't have such a strong effect, you have to make yourself highly attentive and sensitive. If not，later practice and repetition don't seem to work so well.

M: I see.

W: The last thing I'll say is that if you want to remember something for periods long than a year or two, you need to space the presentations over quite long intervals of days, say 30 days A more frequent interval doesn't promise you longer remembrance.

M: Really？ I have thought every word should be practiced as often as possible within a short time span.

W: No. How the word is practiced is much more important than how often it is practiced.

M: You really do me a great favor, Teresa.

听力原文：M: Hello, professor Johnson.

W: Hello, Tony. So what shall we work on today？

M: Well, the problem is that this writing assignment isn't coming out right. What I thought I was writing on was to talk about what a particular sport means to me when I participate in.

W: What sport did you choose？

M: I decided to write about cross-country skiing.

W: What are you going to say about skiing？

M: That's the problem. I thought I would write about how peaceful it is to be out in the country.

W: So why is that a problem？

M: I'd like to start describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods. I keep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep going. Cross-country skiing isn't as easy as some people think. It takes a lot of energy, but that's not part of my paper, so I guess I should leave it out. But now I don't know how to explain that feeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together. It's not like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds roll by. That's different.

W: Then you'll have to include that in your point. The peacefulness of cross-country skiing is the kind you earn by effort. Why leave that out？ Part of your point you knew beforehand, but part you discovered as you wrote. That's common, right？

M: Yeah, I guess so.

听力原文：W: Wake up, Erik, time to rise and shine.

M: Ha, oh, hi, Jane, I must have fallen asleep while I was reading.

W: You and everyone else. It looks more like a campground than a library.

M: Well, the dorm's too noisy to study in, and I guess this place is too quiet.

W: Have you had any luck finding a topic for your paper？

M: No, Prof. Grant told us to write about anything in cultural anthropology. For once I with she had not given us so much of a choice.

W: Well, why not write about the ancient civilizations of Mexico. You seem to be interested in that part of the world.

M: I am, but there is too much material to cover. I'll be writing forever, and Grant only wants five to seven pages.

M: So then limit it to one region of Mexico, say the Uka town. You've been there and you said it's got lots of interesting relics.

M: That's not a bad idea. I brought many books and things back with me last summer, that would be great resource material, now if I can only remember where I put them.
