听力原文：M: It is good to have some company for the drive. It’s a long way to Edinburgh, and it’s very boring if you are on your own.
W: I’m really lucky you stopped and offered me a lift. I’ve been waiting for about two hours but no one seemed to be going my way.
M: Are you a student？
W: Yes, I’m a biology student in London University. I’m going up to Edinburgh for the festival, but it’s so expensive on the train that I decided to try and hitch a lift.
M: Well, you are lucky because I should have been going yesterday, but something happened to delay me so I postponed my trip until today.
W: Is it all right if I put my bag on the back seat？
M: Yes, of course.
W: It started to rain just as I left the house this morning and my clothes and shoes are wet through. Would you mind if I take off my shoes？
M: No, of course not. I don’t mind. Go ahead.
W: Thanks.
M: Oh, don’t forget to put your seat belt on! You can get fined nowadays, you know, for not wearing your seat belt.
W: Yes, sorry, I forgot. Could I open this window？
M: Well, I’d rather you don’t if you don’t mind. It gets very draughty when you open that window. But you can open the back window.
W: Is it all right if I go to sleep for a while？
M: Yes, of course. I’ll wake you up when we reach the next service station. I’ll need some coffee then.

听力原文：M1: Hi, I stopped by to see if you were still looking for a roommate to share your house.
M2: Yeah, I sure am. Ever since I cut back on my working hours to go to school, I've been really strapped fog cash.
M1: Oh.
M2: Let me show you the place. Uh, here's the living room.
M1: Oh. It looks like you could use a new carpet ... and those stains？
M2: Well. I know it needs to be cleaned, but I just don't have the money to do it right now.
M1: What about the kitchen？
M2: Right this way. Look. It's completely furnished with all the latest appliances, except...
M1: What？
M2: Well, the refrigerator door is broken ... a little bit ... and it won't shut all the way. It needs fixing, but don't worry. It isn't that bad.
M1: Well how about the bathroom？ Don't tell me the toilet is clogged or the sink has a few leaks.
M2: No, those work fine, but, uh, the window needs fixing.
M1: Let me see. Where's the window pane？
M2: Well, that's another slight problem. I've put up a piece of cardboard to keep out the rain and snow, and if it gets a little cold, you can always turn up the heat.
M1: I can't believe you've survived under these conditions.
M2: So what do you think？ You really can't beat a place like this for $450 a month. So it has its problems, but we can fix those.
M1: Uh, no thank you. I think I've seen enough.

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.
M: I remember receiving their calendar of activities in my campus mailbox a week ago. I didn't really look at it though. Isn't that where they organize parties and trips for foreign students？
W: Not just for foreign students. The International Center's activities are intended for all students. They set up conversation tutorials for a variety of languages, and, through the center's Host Family Program, you can visit the home of a local family.
M: Now that you mention it, it would be nice to meet more people from this area. I find the customs of this country really confusing sometimes. But also there are times when I need to talk to people who come from other countries as I do. I'll bet a lot of them feel the way I do.
W: Of course. You are not the only person who is new around here. Take me. My family lives five hundred miles away from here. That isn't another country, but it is a long distance. The center is a good place for meeting people who can tell you how to get to know this city. And if you ever feel lonely, you can go over there and find someone to talk to. On week nights, they don't close until 11: 30.
M: I guess it's worth visiting. Did you say you are going there tonight？
W: Uh-huh, to a coffee hour at eight.
M: All right. I'll come, too. I might as well see what the International Center is like. How about meeting me in front of the library and we'll walk there together？
W: Sure. See you then.
What does the International Center send out to students？
A．A diagram of their facilities.
B．A timetable of events.
C．Maps of the city.

Girl: It's at Tom's house. His sister is 18 on Saturday, and they're having a big
celebration. It's going to be brilliant. They're having a disco and Tom's Mum's a wonderful cook, so the food will be good. They've invited all their friends from school but their cousins will be there too.
Man: Well, I hope the weather stays warm so you can be outside. It sounds as if a lot of people are coming. But it all sounds fine to me. It'll be nice for you to go out at the weekend. You spend too much time at home studying. Now, what time does the party start and what time does it finish？
Girl: It starts at eight o'clock and finishes about half past twelve. But Jane's going as well, and her Dad will collect us and bring us home afterwards. It's all arranged.
Man: Mmm ... it'll be difficult for us to take you. Mum and I are going to see a film which starts at 7:15. Let's see. Why don't we collect you and Jane at the end of the party？ Then you could ask Jane's Dad to take you both to the party at eight.
Girl: I'm sure that'll be fine. I'll go and give Jane a ring.
Man: Just one thing though — we'll pick you up at 11:30. I really think that's late enough.

听力原文：M: You think young people are given too much freedom nowadays, and that, as a result, they lost respect for their parents and their elders generally.
W: I don't think so. My parents never interfered with my plans too much. They advised me but never forced me to do anything I didn't want to do. I was allowed to take up the career I wanted. I think I respect and love them more for this.
M: Are you quite independent of them now？
W: Yes. As soon as I left high school and started my college studies as an elementary school teacher, I became independent financially. I have a government grant which is enough for my keep. But I still stay with them a lot as you know.
M: You seem very close to your parents.
W: I am. I know that many young people today say they have nothing in common with their parents. But I'm rather lucky because I get on very well with mine. What about you？

W: But they allowed you to come to study in England on your own.

听力原文： If you were a college student, there are several things you should know about renting an apartment. First, you must know how to look for a place to live. Friends, teachers and other people you meet may know of apartments that are available. You may also find a place to live by looking in a campus or see it in newspapers. In some towns, there are rental agencies that can help you find an apartment, but think carefully about using agencies. Usually they will charge you a fee. You should also walk around and look for buildings with "For Rent" signs.
When you go to look at apartments to rent, there are several things you ought to do. First, you should find out if the apartment is safe. Be sure there are good locks on all the windows and doors. It is also a good idea to check all the appliances as well as the water and electricity to be sure everything is working. It might also be a good idea to talk to other people who rent apartments in the same building. This will help you to find out if there are any problems.
If you decide to rent an apartment, the landlord would probably want you to sign a lease. This is a legal contract and you ought to read it carefully. You will also need to pay a security deposit. If there is no damage the landlord has to return this money when you leave.
Whom can you ask for help to look for a place to live？
A．Your friends.
B．Your teachers.
C．Other people you meet.
D．All of the above.
