听力原文：W: Are you busy this evening？ I'm going over to the International Center later on if you'd like to come along.

听力原文： Good evening. You are listening to Pop World of BCD International. I'm Sally Brown. Today, we are going to hear several current hits of the world's most popular artists.
Well, at the beginning, I would like to say a few words to my dear listeners who are not very familiar with this program.
Because many people want to listen to and understand pop songs, radio producers at BCD International have made hundreds of programs over the years. We not only have access to the stars of the music world, but we have a vast library of "golden oldish" Classics, as well as the "latest releases".
For those of you who like a bit of background with your favorite music — there's The History of Pop or The Road to Music. These two series bring you the language of pop music and information about the periods and the artists.
If you want to hear from the artists themselves ,there's a new series called About The Big Hits. This is based on interviews with popular singers and songwriters. They speak to us about the meaning and ideas behind their songs.
If you want to understand the words to the big music hits, pop Words is the program for you. After all, it's hard enough for native English speakers to understand most pop songs — so, if English isn't your first language, you shouldn't be surprised ff the words to many songs leave you in the dark. It was to address exactly this problem that BCD International started broadcasting Pop Words just over 23 years ago... [ fade out]

A．Interviews with radio producers.
B．A large variety of pop songs.
C．News from the music library.

听力原文：W: Welcome to our program. Today Prof. Johnson is going to talking about solar power.
M: Thank you. As you can see, little by little, Americans are turning to solar power, tapping the strength of the sun for energy.
W: Yeah, that's true. Sunlight has already been used for heating or cooling homes and office buildings in the sunny south.
M: Experts say all signs point to the birth of the solar energy industry. Right now, an increasing number of companies are selling solar collector panels to heat and cool homes or to heat water. The glass and metal panels each cost from ＄100 to more than ＄500, and the three or four-bedroom home usually requires a dozen or more. They look like sandwiches. They are usually placed in rooftops. Nobody knows how many have been sold, and in addition, many people have built their own units. It has been estimated that solar power equipment will be a $1.3 billion industry by 1995, and more than a million homes will use sunlight for heat, air conditioning or to generate electricity, both in the cities and in countryside.
W: Wow! That is really big business.

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？
