听力原文：M: I'm really worried about paying my tuition for the next term at school. School fees are getting so high. I may have to cut back on my classes and work more hours to earn more.
W: I understand that you worry about that. Every year it seems to me that more students worry about money.
M: I agree. And it's hard to study full time and hold down any kind of job.
W: Have you thought about applying for financial aid？
M: Yah, now, I have, but the real problem is that so many people apply and there's just not enough financial aid available.
W: Maybe you could qualify for some kind of student loan that you would repay after you finish studying. You should go to the financial aid office and see what the requirements are.

W: I'm sure we're not the only ones who are worried about this.
M: Oh, I think it's quite clear that a lot of people think about this. Now that a good education is becoming a must for one to get a good job, I think more people will worry in the future. I can't even pay for myself! How am I supposed to save up to pay for my kids to go to school？

听力原文：M: Excuse me, may I have some information about the reception party that you're advertising outside. It's for new students, isn't that right？
W: That's right and what would you like to know about it？
M: Well, I'm not really sure what the purpose of the event is.
W: The party will provide students with a chance to get to know each other, and a chance for students who have successfully been through university to pass on some valuable advice.
M: Who's organizing the event？ Is it the faculty or...
W: Actually, it is the Alumni Association that's organizing this event. So, it's strictly a student to student event.
M: I hope we won't have to sit through a lot of boring speeches. I mean aren't these students just "brains" anyway. What can they actually do to help a guy like me？
W: No, these people are not "brains" at all. The Alumni are simply a group of normal, but grateful students who hope that, by sharing their experiences with new students, they can help more students to successfully graduate.
M: But still we have any time for some fun at this party？
W: Most of the time will be split between eating, dancing, and singing—so not to worry. However, some of the words of wisdom from the former students should not be missed.
M: You've got a point. They are, after all, success stories if they've managed to survive university life. I hear about only half of all students who start university actually finish it.
W: And besides that, there's another reason to go.
M: What's that？
W: The pie they'll be serving is delicious. I know since I'm the one who will be making it.

听力原文：Why are college students so prone to sleep deprivation？ The problem often begins during the teen years. Most high school kids admit that they are often sleepy and 15 percent admit that they fall asleep in class.
Lack of sleep causes many problems, not the least of which is the difficulty it adds to learning. It's also detrimental to the immune system and motor skills. Students (and everyone else) need at least eight hours of sleep to maintain optimum health and learning capabilities. Yet, with the pressure of school, family and social life, few students are sleeping near the required amount.
College life only escalates the problem. Added to the above activities are more hours needed for studies. Some students also hold down a part time job to help defray college expenses. Some students are married and trying to support a family. Because of all these pressures there is also an increase in stress. Stress can lead to insomnia and even more lost sleep.
With the approach of finals, the problem can only grow worse. Students force themselves to stay awake to study. It's called cramming for exams, and it can eat away at sleep hours already far too meager. Too many nights of forced wakefulness can eventually lead to a case of full-blown insomnia and other sleep abnormalities.

A．Eating disorders, low immunity and poor motor skills.
B．Difficulty concentrating, poor motor skills, divorce.
C．Low immunity, poor self esteem, eating disorders.
