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？

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？

Well, I'm earning a good salary now, and I shall get a good pension from my employers, so my wife and I can live fairly comfortably with this extra income, I want to buy some land and build a house for my son; he will need a house when he gets married. I'm thinking of building one and giving it to him.

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.

听力原文：W: Good morning, Professor Sherwood, Thank you for accepting our interview. You've been doing re search on happiness for many years, so I'm sure you have some interesting information to share with our audience.
M: Good morning. I hope I can answer your questions.
W: Are people in rich countries happier than people in not-so-rich countries？
M: Well, I would say there is a relationship between national wealth and well-being. In other words, the economic wealth of a country does appear to reflect the overall well-being of its citizens.
W: Does it mean that rich people in a country are happier than poor people？
M: In some poor Countries, satisfaction with one's financial situation does affect happiness. But once people are able to afford the basic necessities of life; having more money doesn't necessarily make them happier.
W: What about rich places like Europe and United States？ Are income and happiness related？
M: Very little. Rich people are only slightly happier than the average citizen.
W: I'm always wondering whether winning a lottery can bring happiness.
M: Well, as a matter of fact, various studies show that lottery winners only get temporary joy.
W: I guess wealth is like health. If you don't have your health or if you're extremely poor, you will be miserable.
M: Yes, that's true. Happiness is wanting what we have rather than getting what we want.
W: That's a nice way of putting it. In your opinion, do people become happier as their countries be come richer？
M: Well, if I take the case of the United States, from 1957 to 1996, the proportion of people who said that they were very happy declined from 35% to 30%. But during that same period, the average income per person in the United States doubled.
W: So, you mean that a steady increase in a country's prosperity does not mean an increase in its people's happiness.
M: That's right.
What does the woman do？
A．A teacher of economics.
B．A professor of studying happiness.
C．A consultant on economic affairs.
D．A specialist in political science.
