听力原文：M: Good morning, Dr. Smith. My name is Peter. I am a freshman in your department. There are a few things that I am not quite sure of and I do need your advice.
W: Thank you very much for your trust, Peter. As your academic advisor I will try my best to help you.
M: Thanks. It's about my major...
W: Well, what's the matter？
M: I used to major in English, but now I have made up my mind to switch to Applied Linguistics, concentrating on Teaching English as a Foreign Language.
W: So you want to switch majors？
M: Yes. But I wonder if it is possible.
W: Well, usually we allow it, as long as you have enough credits.
M: That's good news for me. I'm not interested in literature and that sort of thing. I want to be a real teacher, Professor. But I'm worried about the make-up credits.
W: You usually do have to make up some credits when you switch majors. Are you OK on credits？
M: Not too many. I'll have to add about 12 credits as far as I can. figure from my transcript. Would you please let me know how many credits are required to get a master's degree？
W: Usually thirty-six credits are needed, ff you take five courses per term, you'll have enough credits after just two semesters. Usually each course is worth three credits. To get the six remaining credits you either prepare a thesis or take two more courses.
M: Is there anything else besides the 36 credits for the master's？
W: You have to have an oral defense．
M: I see．I really appreciate your help，Professor．
W: Glad I can help．Good luck．Peter．

M: What are you studying now？
W: l am taking three general courses and American history and American literature this semester. Last semester I took four requirements and freshman French.

M: Oh, I think you will be a good writer.
W: Dr. Steven, when do students start practical training？

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？

听力原文： I am honored to be here today, representing Harvard at this celebration of the College Board's half century of working to promote high standards and equal opportunity in higher education.
Before I say anything else, I want to thank everyone in the room for the work you do every day to make college affordable, available and successful for millions of young people across the country.
I want to focus my remarks on a matter of central concern to American families and to the future of the nation -- restoring education to its proper role as a pathway to equal opportunity and excellence in our society.
This has been an enduring theme in higher education, with great and creative efforts made by many institutions. Earlier this year, we announced a new initiative at Harvard aimed at the students from families of low and moderate income. Under our new program, families with incomes of less than $ 40,000 will no longer be expected to contribute to the cost of attending Harvard for their children. Families with incomes of less than $ 60,000 will also see their contributions reduced.
We are proud of this effort at Harvard, but we are aware that the programs of individual institutions with means can never be a substitute for our shared public responsibility to provide adequate funding for Pell grants and other financial aid, and for the state and community college systems that make higher education accessible and affordable for the broad public.
There is something empty about undertaking initiatives that may be right for one institution without attention to their broader impact. Likewise, we fall short if we urge changes in national policy without doing what we can on our own campuses.
In this spirit, I want to address today a problem that is emerging with increasing urgency in this nation.
