听力原文：M: Well, Cynthia, our first semester at university is almost over. I can't wait for the holidays.
W: Me, too, Edward! Why don't we go somewhere far away and forget about lectures and essays and all that hard work.
M: Sounds good to me. Now, how long will we have before we have to be back here on campus for the next semester？
W: We've got about six weeks, I think.
M: How about if we go to the coast？ It would be great to do some swimming and surfing.

M: What about going to Sydney？ I've never been there and they say it's a great city to visit. Lots of things to do there, I've heard.

听力原文：M: It's so cold now, but this morning it was so hot and sunny. I wish there was a way! could always be wearing the most suitable clothes for the temperature.
W: I recently read that in ten years we'll be wearing clothes that change with the weather. So when it's cold, our clothes will warm up, and when it's hot, our clothes will cool off.
M: Oh, very funny! So we'll be wearing huge clothes with built-in air conditioners and heaters.
W: I'm being serious! Researchers have discovered a method of treating fibers with plastic crystals capable of storing and releasing heat as the temperature fluctuates. These treated fibers absorb more heat than untreated fibers. Researchers are still working with this, but soon this process will be widespread.
M: That's fascinating. I didn't know that fibers had the capability of storing heat. How does that work？
W: These fibers work with the heat by rearranging their structures. The treated fibers move back and forth between two solid shapes.
M: I don't understand. What kind of shapes do they change into？
W: When the weather gets warmer, the crystals take on cube shapes and absorb heat. When the weather gets cooler, the crystals become cooler and come back to their original structure.
M: That's truly unbelievable. You said that it'd be a decade before this type of clothes will be available, What a shame! I don't think I can wait that long.

听力原文：M: Good morning. Say, do you know what the assignment is for our term paper in history？
W: Sure. Weren't you in class on Monday？ That's when it was given out.
M: No, I missed that class. Was there a handout？
W: No, the instructor just wrote the assignment on the board.
M: Could I copy the assignment from your notes？
W: You could, ff I had copied it all down; but I just wrote down the part that I wanted.
M: Oh, no.
W: You see, there were four choices of topics ior the term paper; but, when I saw them, I knew which one I wanted so I didn't copy the others down.
M: Can you remember any o'f the others？
W: Let's see. There was one about World War I, something about it, but I don't remember what, and there was one called "the idea of progress in the nineteenth century."
M: And what was the last one？
W: I can't remember. My mind is a complete blank. Maybe you can ask someone else.
M: Yes, I will. Anyway, those are certainly broad topics.
W: Yes, but you van focus on a special area within them. Which one would you take？
M: Of course, I don't know what the last one is, but of these three, I think I'd take "the idea of progress."
W: That's very abstract.
M: Yes, but it's one of my interests and I've read a lot on the subject. I've never written a term paper on it though.
W: Me neither. I haven't even read about it. Are you going to class on Wednesday？
M: Yes.
W: Maybe he'll write it on the board again.
M: I hope so. Good luck with your paper.
W: Same to you.

听力原文：M: This is it. I know that it is smaller than you wanted, but it is one of the nicest apartments in the buildings.
W: Does it have three bedrooms？
M: No. There are two. The master bedroom is quite spacious though. Maybe you could let the children share the larger room, and you and your husband could use the smaller one.
W: I suppose I could do that.
M: A three-bedroom apartment will be difficult to find.
W: Yes, I know. Believe me, I have been looking for over a week. The few three-bedroom apartments that I have found are either extremely expensive or the owner won't allow children as tenants.
M: Well, the owner allows two children in this apartment complex.
W: Aren't you the owner？
M: No. I am the manager. I live here, too, on the first floor of this building.
W: Oh. That's nice. Then if anything gets broken...
M: Just leave a note on my door.
W: You said that the rent would be 350 dollars a month. Does that include any of the utilities？
M: Yes. It includes gas. Your furnace and stove axe gas, so, as you can imagine, your other utilities, electric and water, are quite inexpensive.
W: This sounds better and better. But before I sign a lease I would like my husband to see it.
M: Why not stop by with him this evening？
W: How late are you open？ He doesn't get off work until five.
M: Come by at six. I will still be in the office. I am sure that you are eager to move from the hotel, and if we get the paper work out of the way tonight, you can move in tomorrow.
W: Oh, that would be wonderful.

A．The woman's husband.

听力原文：Interviewer:With us today is Steve Thomas, a 23 year-old chef who delights TV aud
听力原文：Interviewer: With us today is Steve Thomas, a 23 year-old chef who delights TV audiences with his imaginative cooking programme. Steve, what's the secret of your success？
Steve: Well, I think I'm different from other TV chefs in that I want people to see how I prepare a dish from the word go, so I don't present them with a dish that's half prepared already. If anything should go wrong during the programme, know, suppose something gets burned, well, that's part of the experience. When they try preparing it themselves, then they'll see the beauty of the finished product, but not on the screen.
Interviewer: So how did you come to get your own TV series？
Steve: I was working in a restaurant called the Gala in December last year when they came to make a documentary about the place. I didn't even look at the camera.I was too busy making pasta and cooking fish. But the producer spotted me and the following week they phoned me to offer me a job... The Gala owner wished me all the best and let me go without a complaint.
Interviewer: Wow!! Now, is it true that you come from a family of cooks？
Steve: Well, you could say that ... I started cooking at the age of eight. My mum and dad have a restaurant and Dad used to do all the cooking back then. My mum was too busy looking after us ... Dad insisted that if I wanted some money, I should work for it. And it seemed a lot more interesting to help out in the kitchen and see how things were made than to earn my money washing Dad's car ...
Interviewer: You attended a catering course at college. How did you like that？
Steve: At school I wasn't very good at anything much. At that time, my mind wasn't on anything other than cooking. I found sitting in a classroom trying to pay attention to things very very trying. I managed to get to college though and there I was fine, because when it came to the actual cooking, I knew what I was doing. I realised that a bit of academic work didn't do you any harm either and I found it much easier when I was interested in the subject, and so I've no regrets, really.
Interviewer: And now you have a TV programme and several cooks working under your orders. How do you get on with them？
Steve: Oh, I love working with them. But on my programme everyone has to be really special. They need to have gone through college training before they even apply for the job. I suppose the problem is that fairly frequently I tend to raise my voice if they don't work emciently ... but I'm just as likely to praise them if they do well ... What I say to them is, you want the audience to say we are the best, so we need to make a special effort ...
Interviewer: Is there any chef celebrity that you admire especially？
Steve: I definitely think that Ron Bell is the best, and I'm pleased that he's now got his own food column in a newspaper. I had the great privilege of working with him for a while. What's so special about him is that he's always been enthusiastic about using ingredients that come from the area where he works ... For example the fish of the day would be the catch from the river close to his restaurant. He's been criticised for sticking to old-fashioned recipes, maybe that's a weakness, but I think that's his decision ...
Interviewer: I heard that you are also going to write a book.
Steve: Yes, I’m writing it at the moment. It may disappoint readers who expect a lot of glossy pictures, as most cookbooks nowadays seem to be things to look at rather than read ... I've gone for a style. that may be less attractive with fewer colour pictures but it will be more useful for most types of reader. What I say in my book is that we must remember the success of a meal does not depend on how it looks ... it's what it tastes like and the company of the friends you'll share it with that matters ...
Interviewer: Well, thank you, Steve, I look forward to trying some rec
