听力原文：W: Hi. Tom. How things get along with the preparation for the annual meeting documents？
M: It's coming along. But I've been staring at the computer screen for hours and my eyes hurt.
W: Yeah Typing the words on the screen really make your eyes dry and tired. You should take a break.
M: I can't. The deadline is approaching.
W: You know, I read about computers and eye problems recently. The article says that they are usually caused by not blinking your eyes enough.
M: Blinking？ I thought I just needed new glasses.
W: when you blink, the movement of closing and opening your eyes, even though it happens really fast relaxes your eyes.
M: That makes sense.
W: People using computer tends to stare at the screen and blink less often than they normally would.
M: That is what I am doing. And I am suffering from the dry eyes.
W: That is one of the typical symptoms. M: But what does it have to do with the computer？
W: The article I read about the office workers found that the workers averagely blink 22 times a minute when relaxed But just 7 times a minute while looking at the text on a computer screen.
M: Wow That's quite a difference.
W: Yeah. So you need to blink your eyes and take a break from the computer
M: I wonder if using some kind of eye-drops will make me feel better.
W: That might help.But the best prescription is to take a break and rest your eyes
M: Ok. Let's go get some coffee. I can finish this later tonight.

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.
