听力原文：W: I saw a really interesting program on TV last night. It talked about the type of things that record companies have to be careful with when they come out with new CDs.
M: What do you mean？
W: Well, they have to be very careful not to offend people -- especially parents with young kids who might buy a CD that contained violent content or used strong language.
M: How can that be avoided？
W: Well, don't you remember when that woman -- some senator's wife, I think, made a fuss over this issue？ It's not really a law, but music companies are now encouraged to put a warning label on albums that describe violence or use strong language.
M: I don't understand. Doesn't that reduce the musician's freedom of speech？
W: Not really. Musicians still have a right to free speech, but the message on the label says, "Buyer, be careful: if you get upset by violence and ugly language, don't buy this album." You agree with that, don't you？
M: I don't know. I still think the whole thing is funny and unreasonable. Musicians should have the right to say what they want to say without having to have a warning label put on their music, I mean, who gets to decide what is considered offensive and what isn't, we don't need a sticker to tell us what to do!

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.
M: I suppose that's true. Sometimes I wish the cost of education was completely covered by the government.
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？
W: Yeah, when you find the answer to that one, be sure to tell me.

听力原文：W: Hi, Tim. I'm really sorry to hear about your grandfather. My sincerest sympathies go out to you and your family. He was such a great man.
M: Thanks. As you know, he had been sick for some time before he passed away, so we were somewhat prepared.
W: So, how's your grandmother taking it？
M: Oh, it's been really hard on her. I don't think you get over something like that.
W: Yeah, I'm sure. My heart really goes out to her. Uh, so how's your grandmother going to be able to manage things alone？
M: Well, financially, grandmother will be able to live a secure life from now on. I mean, grandfather had life insurance and substantial investments in property and stocks, so returns on those should take care of her. But our main concern at this moment is her emotional state. She's really down, so a call now and again should brighten her day.
W: So, what are the funeral arrangements？
M: Well, some of the family members will get together on Tuesday morning for a private memorial service, but there will be a viewing in the afternoon from 2:00 to 3:00, followed by the funeral service.
W: I wish there was something I could do for you.
M: Well, actually, there is. You know, grandfather really admired you a lot, and before he died, he asked if you'd sing a musical number at the funeral.
W: Really？ I'd be honored.
M: It would really mean a lot to the family.
W: Sure. Then, see you on Tuesday.
M: Okay, see you then.
