听力原文：W：Read the report？ The：tuition fee was increased to ￡ 3000 a year. And other living expenses are on average ￡3000 a year.
M：Yeah, it's a huge increase. How are you managing your budget？
W：Well, (23)I got a student loan, which is just over ￡3 000, but also I get some money from my parents as well. They're happy to help out because it's towards an education；as long as we're not just wasting it all in drinking it all away. I am in the 3rd year.1 went to the end of my overdraft a couple of times and I'm lucky to have middle class parents who can help me out really.
M：But mostly your finances have been poor!
W：(24)That's because of the summer. If I just 1ived as a normal student and then worked during the summer it wouldn't be so bad—but I go on big holidays and things. This year I went to the Philippines and then came back overland from Singapore, which is a wicked experience, but eats into your finances obviously. What about you？
M：My parents came to the arrangement that first of all they paid the fees for me；secondly they paid my hall fees； and thirdly they gave me an allowance.
W：That's quite practical. But can you manage？
M：Yeah, I did excellently. I decided first of all I was going to get a first, which I did, and secondly 1 was not going to have any debts.(25)I put the money in a high interest account, so I came out with no debts at all. But I did live on Marmite sandwiches almost for three years.

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.

听力原文：M. Mrs. Harrison, thanks very much for coming down here at the station. I, I know you've been through a terrible situation here today. Mm, I, I'd just like to go over some of the things you told Surgeon Clark at the bank.
W. All right.
M: Ah, ah. Would you like a cup of tea？
W. No, no, I'm fine.
M. All right.
W: Thanks.
M. Well, could you describe the two people who robbed the bank for this report we're filling out here？ Now anything at all that you could remember would be extremely helpful to US.
W. Well, just, I tell you I remember basically what I said before.
M: That's all right.
W: The man was tall, about six feet, and he had dark hair.
M. Dark hair.
W: And he had a mustache.
M. Very good. All right. Did he have any other distinguishing marks, I mean, scars for example, anything like that？
W: Scars, no, none of that I can remember.
M. Do you remember how old he was by any chance？
W. Eh, well, I, I guess around thirty.
M. Around thirty.
W. Maybe younger, give a take of a few years.
M. All right. Do you remember anything about what he might be wearing？
W: Yes, he, he had on a dark sweater, solid color. You know, the kind of color young people fancy nowadays.
M: Anything else that strikes you at the moment？
W: I, I remember he was wearing a light shirt under the sweater, a cotton one with dark, I think, dark stripes. It looks like a good brand.
M: Ah, very good.
W: Yes, yes.
M. Mm, now, all right. Can you tell us anything about the woman robber, Mrs. Harrison？
W: Well, I remember that she did most of the talking. She had a gun pointed at us and she told us to lie down on the floor and not to move if we knew what was good for us. I, I remember I've just thought like she was pointing the gun right at me and my little daughter was sitting right next to me and she, she was just so frightened.
M. Um, Mrs. Harrison, could you describe her for us？
W: She was wearing a wool sweater.
M: Ah, very good.
W: I remember it was a dark color, navy blue or dark gray.
M: Dark gray？
W: And I guess she was in her late twenties. Her hair was short, very short and curly.
M: Do you remember how tall she was？
W: Ah, about the same as myself, around five four.
M: Five four. All right. Do you, uh, remember anything else about this woman？
W: Yes, I remember the woman was wearing a pendant or a locket around her neck. I remember it specifically because I was then near the counter next to the bank manager and my little daughter started to cry.
M: Ah.
W: And this woman came up and said: "Shut your damn kid up, lady!" So I got a good look at her and she was pulling on the chain and playing with it, a pendant.
M: Oh？
W: It was gold, well, anyway, lookes like gold. And it had a strange shape.
M: Mm, ah, now, did either of them have any other noticeable characteristics, Mrs. Harrison？ Now, just take a minute.
W: Eh, no, I don't.
M: Think about this.
W: No, no, this is really all I can remember.
M: Well, did either of them wear glasses？
W: No, no, I'm sure of that.
M: All right, Mrs. Harrison. I really appreciate what you've been through today. I'm just going to ask you to look at some photographs before you leave if you don't mind. It won't take very long. Could you do that for me？
W: Ah, all right.
M. Would you like to step this way with me, please？
W. OK, sure.
M. Thank you.

听力原文：W: I enjoy going through secondhand bookstores, don't you？ It's interesting to see what people used to enjoy reading. Did you see this old book of children's stories？
M: Some of these books aren't so old, though. See？ This novel was published only six years ago. It cost seventy-five cents.
W: Hey! Look at this!
M: What？ Are you getting interested in nineteenth-century plays all of a sudden？
W: No. Look at the signature. Someone gave this book as a present, and wrote a note on the inside of the front cover. It's dated 1856. Maybe it's worth something.
M: Everything on that shelf is worth fifty cents.
W: But if this is the signature of someone who is well-known, it might bring a lot more. I hear William Shakespeare's signature is worth about a million dollars.
M: Oh？ I can hardly read what the one says. Who wrote it？
W: The name looks like "Harold Dickinson". Wasn't he a politician or something？ I'm going to buy this book and see if I can find a name like that in the library.
M: Good luck. Your book of plays may make you rich, but I'll bet my seventy-five cents novel is a better buy.

B．In a library.

听力原文：W: I' m going over to the recycling center this afternoon. Would you like me to take your old newspaper and paper bags a long？
M: I do have a lot of papers and magazines down on the basement. Volunteers used to come by these apartments regularly to collect waste paper. I still save it but people seldom ask for it nowadays and I' ve never gone over to the recycling center myself.
W: That’s typical. A few years ago people were really enthusiastic about musing waste paper. Unfortunately, interest has been decreasing lately. Manufacturers now use waste paper for things, like paper bags, towels, napkins and boxes. But the demand is down. I think they need to find new commercial uses for recycled paper.
M: I suppose things like greeting cards, calendars and writing paper could be made from it too. But recycled paper usually has a dingy color, doesn't it？
W: Well, it wouldn’t be suitable for art books or high-quality magazine paper. But who cares about the drab color if waste paper can take place of virgin wood pulp and so help to preserve forests. M: You are right. I'll bring my waste paper over to your apartment in a little while. Thanks for offering to take it.
According to the speakers, what products are now made from recycled paper？
A．Paper towels, napkins, bags and boxes.
B．Insulation for basements.

听力原文：W: I've just read a curious fact. Did you know that people who spend less than 10 minutes in a drug store are five times more likely to make a purchase than those who spend half an hour there？
M: I saw that article, too. But think, if someone runs into a drug store for 10 minutes, he is usually there to make a specific purchase.
W: And someone who spends more time there may be just looking？
M: Exactly. Haven't you ever gone into a store thinking that you'll buy something and then talk yourself out of it？
W: Yes, I have. Especially when I thought I could get it for less elsewhere, or I really didn't need it after all.
M: Exactly, but, if you run in to buy something specific and have very little time, you pick it up, pay for it immediately, and then leave.
W: That's true. Maybe we should learn a lesson from that. Take your time end you'll spend less money.
M: I doubt if that would be true in all stores though. In a department store, for instance, you may see a sweater or some thing you never intend to buy, and buy it because you have time to look around.
