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.

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.

W: Really？
M: Yeah, so what are you doing this summer, anything special？
W: Well, actually yeah. My parents have always liked taking my brother and me to different places in our country. You know, places with historical significance. I guess they wanted to reinforce the stuff we learned in school about history. And so even though we are older now, they still do once in a while.
M: Oh so where are you going this summer？

M: Finally？ You mean they never took you yet？ I mean Yan'an; it's probably the most famous revolutionary base in the country. It's only a couple of hours ride by train. I think that would be one of the first places where they should have taken you. I have been there a couple of times.
W: We were going to go about five years ago, but something happened. I cannot remember what changed our plans. Yeah, don't ask me what it was, but we ended up not going anywhere that year. I hope that doesn't happen again this year.

听力原文：M: Rebecca, did you hear Radio broadcasting that temperatures have today reached a record 102 degrees and may well hit 110 tomorrow？
W: I heard that, Aaron, but it's not surprising actually, because we haven't had as much rain as normal this year.
M: Much more distressing, experts say, is that a drought has set in remarkably early and shows no sign of letting up soon ... The ground is still parched from last year's drought -- crops, plants and trees are being crippled at their most vulnerable time.
W: Yes. The drought conditions are severe! There's a lot of death, dying and suffering out there!
M: Well, if it could rain even a drop, things would be much better! And my flowers in the garden would come back in a heartbeat.
W: I guess you might have to quit watering your garden. I heard that they are going to start rationing water. In fact, this morning I happened to hear on the radio that the reservoir had dipped below half its capacity this month and the volume of water entering the reservoir is the smallest in fifty years.
M: Really! I thought that might happen. Great! There go my vegetables!
W. I guess so. But think about Africa.

听力原文：Katarina: So, Jatinder and Ali, how did you deal with culture shock when you first came here to study？
Jatinder: Well, Katarina, when I first arrived in the UK, I was just so excited to be living in a foreign country: away from my parents ... that I just didn't really notice anything at first. How about you, Ali？
Ali: Yeah. Same here. That's quite typical, isn't it？ Everything seems new and fascinating. But, after this initial enthusiasm wears off, all the new experiences may begin to overwhelm you. Things that you found exciting at first may now seem strange and a little frightening. Even minor differences, such as being unable to buy your usual brands of various products, can add to the sense of strangeness.
Jatinder: Yes. That's right. Then you may start to experience sudden mood changes and strong reactions, feeling lost, disoriented, and even irritated and resentful. Most of all, you may wish you were back among the familiar people and places at home. All international students can experience culture shock in some form. ... even those coming from countries with very similar lifestyles to those in the UK. It is important to understand that this reaction is entirely normal and that it will pass.
Katarina: OK. So what suggestions do you have for me？
Ali: Well, I made sure that I arrived early. I got here about ten days, yeah, ten days before most of the other students, so that I could settle in before things got busy. Many universities run special induction programmes for international students in the week before term begins. A typical induction programme provides a tour of the college or university, an overview of its facilities and how to use them, help with registering for your academic programme, and social events where you can meet other students and staff. This can help you to start to get used to your new environment.
Katarina: Yeah, I heard about those ... but too late unfortunately. Jatinder, did you go on an induction course like Ali？
Jatinder: No. I wish I had, but my parents wouldn't let me go a day sooner than absolutely necessary. It was very annoying.
Ali: Every university has counsellors who can give you practical advice on adjusting to your new environment. These people have special training in offering advice and support, and they understand the challenges you face. They can listen to you sympathetically, offer practical suggestions, and refer you to other professionals if necessary. Your personal tutor and the staff in the international office of your college or university can also be helpful.
Jatinder: Have you heard about the 'buddy' or mentoring system？ Students who have been at the university or college for a longer period give advice to new arrivals, and are available for help and guidance throughout the year. There is information on schemes such as these at the students' union or the international student association will help you become involved. I used the system when I arrived and found it really opened some doors socially: you know, I got to meet lots of people, like Ali, right？
Ali: Right! Katarina, I think that it's also important to keep in touch with home. Use the telephone, e-mail and conventional mail to keep in contact with your friends and family at home. In larger towns or cities with large international communities, like this one, you may be able to find people from your country. Spend some time with them. Many international students find that it helps to make contact with people from a similar background because they understand what you are going through. Spending time with people from your country can also be a relaxing break from the 'strangeness' of the UK. You can speak your own language, eat your own foods and talk about what is going on back home.
Jatinder: Yes. and don't forget that the university has a variety of cultural societies, as well as an active international students' association: ask at the student union. They may also have inform
