[04:02.62]	I’d like to go to college and major in business administration.

[05:33.87]	W: I'm not sure what I’m in a mood for.Ice-cream or sandwiches?

[05:44.73]	And we still have to get there and park. So just make a decision.

[06:06.57]	Question 5
[06:08.09]	W: Tom said he would come to repair our solar heater when he has time.
[06:13.31]	M: He often says he is willing to help, but he never seems to have time.

[06:38.36]	Question 6
[06:39.93]	W: So you know that Sam turns down the job offered by the travel agency.

[06:53.38]	Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
[07:11.49]	Question 7
[07:12.87]	M: Could you tell me a bit about the business your company is doing?
[07:17.55]	W: We mainly deal with large volume buyers from western countries and our products have been well received.

[07:43.22]	Question 8
[07:44.45]	W: Yesterday I made reservations for my trip to Miami next month.
[07:49.76]	M: You must really be looking forward to it.
[07:53.02]	You haven’t had any time off for at least two years.
[07:56.65]	Q: What is the woman going to do?
[08:14.57]
[08:21.23]	M: Excuse me, I need some information about some of the towns near here.
[08:25.67]	W: What would you like to know?
[08:27.53]
[08:32.75]	I believe there is an interesting museum there. It isn't far, is it?
[08:38.19]
[08:45.34]	And you're right. It's a wonderful little museum.
[08:48.30]
[08:52.21]	I have some friends. I'd like to visit there and I also want to get to Newton.
[08:58.09]	They are near each other, aren't they?
[09:00.49]
[09:04.28]	Amitsville is northeast. It's about thirty five miles northeast of here.
[09:09.92]
[09:15.57]
[09:20.24]
[09:26.33]	It's about fifty five miles southwest from here and the road is not at all straight.
[09:32.42]	M: Fifty five miles southwest! Well, maybe I won't go there this time.
[09:38.95]
[09:44.77]
[09:51.41]	They are really pretty little towns with lots of old houses and beautiful tree-lined streets.
[09:59.14]
[10:05.57]	Good. Well, I think that's all the information I need for a while.
[10:10.58]	Thank you. You've been very helpful.
[10:13.14]	W: You're welcome, sir. I hope you enjoy your stay.
[10:25.99]
[10:43.18]
[11:03.17]
[11:23.57]
[11:26.62]	M: Err... Sandra, I've finished with Mr. Gordon now.
[11:32.29]	Do you think you could pop through in bringing me up-to-date on their arrangements for the Italian trip?
[11:38.22]	W: Certainly, Mr. Wilkinson. I'll bring everything with me.
[11:46.42]	M: Right, take a seat. Now my first meeting is when?
[11:52.25]
[12:01.47]	M: OK, so can I fly out early Monday morning?
[12:06.56]
[12:16.05]	M: Yeah, but that only leaves me thirty minutes to clear customs in getting to the city center and it means I have to check in by five thirty,
[12:27.65]	which means leaving home at about four fifteen.
[12:30.62]	W: I'm afraid so.
[12:32.14]	M: Hmm... not so keen on that. What's the program for the rest of that day?
[12:36.97]	W: It's quite full, I'm afraid.
[12:39.82]	At eleven, you're seeing Jeana Rivard at Meg Star and then you'll have a lunch engagement with Gaven from the Chamber of Commerce at one. 11:00
[12:48.83]	M: Where's that?

[12:54.26]	M: Good, that sounds fine. What about the afternoon?
[12:57.76]	W: Well, at three thirty, you're seeing our sales representative there and then you're free till evening.
[13:04.77]	M: I see. I seem to remember that I'm having a dinner with someone from Bergamo.
[13:10.80]
[13:23.26]	Q12: What would the man like the woman to do?
[13:42.70]	Q13: At what time is Mr. Wilkinson going to leave home for the airport? Wilkinson

[14:47.22]
[15:20.13]	Donna Fredrick’s served with the Peace Corps for two years in Brazil.
[15:24.81]	She joined the Peace Corps after she graduated from the college
[15:29.85]	because she wanted to do something to help other people.
[15:33.82]	She had been brought up on a farm,
[15:37.32]	so the Peace Corps assigned her to a agricultural project.
[15:41.45]	Before she went to Brazil, she studied Portuguese for three months.
[15:47.20]	She also learnt agreat deal about its history and culture.
[15:51.84]	During her two years with the Peace Corps, Donna lived in a village in northeast Brazil.
[15:59.81]	That part of Brazil is very dry and farming is often difficult there.
[16:06.32]	Donna helped the people of the village to organise an arrigation project,
[16:12.46]	and she also advised them on planting corns.
[16:16.14]	They didn’t require much water.
[16:18.23]	When Donna returned to the States, she couldn’t settle down.
[16:23.22]	She tried several jobs, but they seemed very boring to her.
[16:28.78]	She couldn’t get Brazil out of her mind.
[16:32.20]	Finally, one day she got on an plane and went back to Brazil.
[16:38.19]	She wasn’t sure what she’s going to do. She just wanted to be there.
[16:43.72]	After a few weeks, Donna found a job as an English teacher, teaching five classes a day.
[16:51.35]	Like most of the teachers, she doesn’t make much money.
[16:56.84]	She shares a small apartment with another teacher.
[17:00.83]	And she makes a little extra money by sending stories to newspapers in the States.
[17:06.63]	Eventually she wants to quit teaching and work as a full-time journalist.
[17:20.09]	Question 16
[17:21.44]	Why did Donna join the Peace Corps after she graduated from college?
[17:41.77]	Question 17
[17:43.15]	What was Donna assigned to do in Brazil?
[18:01.62]	Question 18
[18:02.95]	Why did Donna go back to Brazil once again?
[18:22.18]	Question 19
[18:23.51]	How did Donna make extra money to support herself?
[18:42.14]	Listening Passage 2
[18:43.83]	Results of a recent Harry’s pool on free time showed that
[18:48.72]	the average work week for many Americans is 50 hours.
[18:52.95]	With the time spent eating, sleeping and taking care of the household duties,
[18:58.07]	there’s little time left for leisure activities for many Americans.
[19:03.22]	However, having free time to relax and pursue hobbies is important.
[19:09.28]	People need time away from the pressures of study or work to relax and enjoy time with friends and family.
[19:17.85]	In different countries free time is spent in different ways.
[19:22.89]	The results of a Harry’s pool showed that reading was the most popular spare time activity in the US.
[19:30.18]	This was followed by watching TV.
[19:33.15]	In a UK survey on leisure time activities, watching TV and videos was the most popular.
[19:40.63]	Listening to the radio came second.
[19:43.26]	In a similar survey conducted in Japan, the most popular free time activity was eating out.
[19:50.29]	The second most popular activity was driving.
[19:54.39]	There were also differences in the most popular outdoor pursuits between the three countries.
[20:00.32]	The most popular outdoor activity for Americans was gardening.
[20:05.34]	In the UK, it was going to the pub.
[20:08.34]	In Japan, going to bars ranked eighth in popularity and gardening ranked ninth.
[20:15.32]	Although people around the world may enjoy doing similar things in their free time,
[20:21.53]	there’s evidence to suggest that these interests are changing.
[20:25.16]	In the US, for example, the popularity of computer activities is increasing.
[20:31.30]	Many more people in the States are spending their free time surfing the web, emailing friends or playing games online.
[20:47.66]	Question 20
[20:48.88]
[21:07.93]	Question 21
[21:09.10]	What was the most popular leisure activity in the US?
[21:29.27]	Question 22
[21:31.23]	What was the most popular outdoor pursuit in the UK?
[21:50.64]	Listening Passage 3
[21:52.15]	On March 13th, while on duty Charles Mclaughlin, a very careless driver employed by the company Lummis was involved in another accident. 3
[22:04.95]	The accident occurred in Riverside California.
[22:08.71]	Not paying attention to his driving,
[22:12.19]
[22:18.67]	This caused minor damage to his truck and serious damage to the car.
[22:24.96]	On the basis of the police report,
[22:27.68]	the Lummis accident committee correctly determined that Mclaughlin had been quite careless. Lummis
[22:33.90]	As a result of the committee’s conclusion, the branch manager Mr. David Rossi reported that
[22:41.97]	he had talked with Mclaughlin about his extremely poor driving record.
[22:46.88]	Further evidence of Mclaughlin's irresponsibility occurred on May 6th when he was returning from his shift.
[22:54.58]	That day he ran into a roll-up door at the Lummis facility in Valero,causing significant damage to the door.
[23:03.18]	Damage to the truck, however, was minor.
[23:06.39]	Finally, on June 7th, Mclaughlin once again demonstrated his carelessness
[23:13.39]	by knocking down several mail boxes near the edge of the company’s parking lot.
[23:18.59]	There was damage to the mailboxes and minor damage to the truck.
[23:23.79]	Mr. David Rossi stated that he had spoken with Mclaughlin on several occasions about his driving record.
[23:30.82]	He added that he had warned Mclaughlin that
[23:35.05]	three preventable accidents in one year could lead to his discharge, as indeed it should.
[23:49.00]
[24:12.46]	24. What did Mclaughlin do on June 7th near the edge of the company’s parking lot?
[24:34.97]	25. What is most probably going to happen to Mclaughlin?
[24:57.23]
[25:29.73]	When Captain Cook asked the chiefs in Tahiti why they always ate apart and alone,
[25:36.26]	they replied, “Because it is right.”
[25:39.55]	If we ask Americans why they eat with knives and forks,
[25:43.88]	or why their men wear pants instead of skirts
[25:48.22]	or why they may be married to only one person at a time,
[25:52.50]	we are likely to get similar and very uninformative answers because it’s right,
[25:59.32]	because that’s the way it’s done, because it’s the custom or even I don’t know.
[26:05.70]	The reason for these and countless other patterns of social behavior is that
[26:11.16]	they are controlled by social norms shared rules or guide lines
[26:16.93]	which prescribe the behavior that is appropriate in a given situation.
[26:20.93]	Norms define how people ought to behave under particular circumstances in a particular society.
[26:29.78]	We conform to norms so readily that we are hardly aware they exist.
[26:36.23]	In fact we are much more likely to notice departures from norms than conformity to them.
[26:43.91]	You will not be surprised if a stranger tried to shake hands when you were introduced,
[26:49.87]	but you might be a little startled if they bowed, started to stroke you or kissed you onboth cheeks.
[26:57.55]	Yet each of these other forms of greeting is appropriate in other parts of the world.
[27:03.27]	When we visit another society whose norms are different,
[27:09.12]	we quickly become aware that things we do this way, they do that way.

[11:26.62]	M: Err... Sandra, I' ve finished with Mr. Gordon now.
[11:32.29]	Do you think you could pop through in bringing me uptodate on their arrangements for the Italian trip?
[11:38.22]	W: Certainly, Mr. Wilkinson. I' ll bring everything with me.
[11:46.42]	M: Right, take a seat. Now my first meeting is when?
[11:52.25]
[12:01.47]	M: OK, so can I fly out early Monday morning?
[12:06.56]
[12:16.05]	M: Yeah, but that only leaves me thirty minutes to clear customs in getting to the city center and it means I have to check in by five thirty,
[12:27.65]	which means leaving home at about four fifteen.
[12:30.62]	W: I' m afraid so.
[12:32.14]	M: Hmm... not so keen on that. What' s the program for the rest of that day?
[12:36.97]	W: It' s quite full, I' m afraid.

[13:04.77]	M: I see. I seem to remember that I' m having a dinner with someone from Bergamo.

[15:20.13]	Donna Fredrick' s served with the Peace Corps for two years in Brazil.
[15:24.81]	She joined the Peace Corps after she graduated from the college
[15:29.85]	because she wanted to do something to help other people.
[15:33.82]	She had been brought up on a farm,
[15:37.32]	so the Peace Corps assigned her to a agricultural project.
[15:41.45]	Before she went to Brazil, she studied Portuguese for three months.
[15:47.20]	She also learnt agreat deal about its history and culture.
[15:51.84]	During her two years with the Peace Corps, Donna lived in a village in northeast Brazil.
[15:59.81]	That part of Brazil is very dry and farming is often difficult there.
[16:06.32]	Donna helped the people of the village to organise an arrigation project,
[16:12.46]	and she also advised them on planting corns.
[16:16.14]	They didn' t require much water.
[16:18.23]	When Donna returned to the States, she couldn' t settle down.
[16:23.22]	She tried several jobs, but they seemed very boring to her.
[16:28.78]	She couldn' t get Brazil out of her mind.
[16:32.20]	Finally, one day she got on an plane and went back to Brazil.
[16:38.19]	She wasn' t sure what she' s going to do. She just wanted to be there.
[16:43.72]	After a few weeks, Donna found a job as an English teacher, teaching five classes a day.
[16:51.35]	Like most of the teachers, she doesn' t make much money.
[16:56.84]	She shares a small apartment with another teacher.
[17:00.83]	And she makes a little extra money by sending stories to newspapers in the States.
[17:06.63]	Eventually she wants to quit teaching and work as a fulltime journalist.

[17:21.44]	Why did Donna join the Peace Corps after she graduated from college?

[18:43.83]	Results of a recent Harry' s pool on free time showed that
[18:48.72]	the average work week for many Americans is 50 hours.
[18:52.95]	With the time spent eating, sleeping and taking care of the household duties,
[18:58.07]	there' s little time left for leisure activities for many Americans.
[19:03.22]	However, having free time to relax and pursue hobbies is important.
[19:09.28]	People need time away from the pressures of study or work to relax and enjoy time with friends and family.
[19:17.85]	In different countries free time is spent in different ways.
[19:22.89]	The results of a Harry' s pool showed that reading was the most popular spare time activity in the US.
[19:30.18]	This was followed by watching TV.
[19:33.15]	In a UK survey on leisure time activities, watching TV and videos was the most popular.
[19:40.63]	Listening to the radio came second.
[19:43.26]	In a similar survey conducted in Japan, the most popular free time activity was eating out.
[19:50.29]	The second most popular activity was driving.
[19:54.39]	There were also differences in the most popular outdoor pursuits between the three countries.
[20:00.32]	The most popular outdoor activity for Americans was gardening.
[20:05.34]	In the UK, it was going to the pub.
[20:08.34]	In Japan, going to bars ranked eighth in popularity and gardening ranked ninth.
[20:15.32]	Although people around the world may enjoy doing similar things in their free time,
[20:21.53]	there' s evidence to suggest that these interests are changing.
[20:25.16]	In the US, for example, the popularity of computer activities is increasing.
[20:31.30]	Many more people in the States are spending their free time surfing the web, emailing friends or playing games online.

[21:52.15]	On March 13th, while on duty Charles Mclaughlin, a very careless driver employed by the company Lummis was involved in another accident. 3
[22:04.95]	The accident occurred in Riverside California.
[22:08.71]	Not paying attention to his driving,
[22:12.19]
[22:18.67]	This caused minor damage to his truck and serious damage to the car.
[22:24.96]	On the basis of the police report,
[22:27.68]	the Lummis accident committee correctly determined that Mclaughlin had been quite careless. Lummis
[22:33.90]	As a result of the committee' s conclusion, the branch manager Mr. David Rossi reported that
[22:41.97]	he had talked with Mclaughlin about his extremely poor driving record.
[22:46.88]	Further evidence of Mclaughlin' s irresponsibility occurred on May 6th when he was returning from his shift.
[22:54.58]	That day he ran into a rollup door at the Lummis facility in Valero, causing significant damage to the door.
[23:03.18]	Damage to the truck, however, was minor.
[23:06.39]	Finally, on June 7th, Mclaughlin once again demonstrated his carelessness
[23:13.39]	by knocking down several mail boxes near the edge of the company' s parking lot.
[23:18.59]	There was damage to the mailboxes and minor damage to the truck.
[23:23.79]	Mr. David Rossi stated that he had spoken with Mclaughlin on several occasions about his driving record.
[23:30.82]	He added that he had warned Mclaughlin that
[23:35.05]	three preventable accidents in one year could lead to his discharge, as indeed it should.
[23:49.00]
[24:12.46]	24. What did Mclaughlin do on June 7th near the edge of the company' s parking lot?
[24:34.97]	25. What is most probably going to happen to Mclaughlin?

[25:29.73]	When Captain Cook asked the chiefs in Tahiti why they always ate apart and alone,
[25:36.26]	they replied, " Because it is right."
[25:39.55]	If we ask Americans why they eat with knives and forks,
[25:43.88]	or why their men wear pants instead of skirts
[25:48.22]	or why they may be married to only one person at a time,
[25:52.50]	we are likely to get similar and very uninformative answers because it' s right,
[25:59.32]	because that' s the way it' s done, because it' s the custom or even I don' t know.
[26:05.70]	The reason for these and countless other patterns of social behavior is that
[26:11.16]	they are controlled by social norms shared rules or guide lines
[26:16.93]	which prescribe the behavior that is appropriate in a given situation.
[26:20.93]	Norms define how people ought to behave under particular circumstances in a particular society.
[26:29.78]	We conform to norms so readily that we are hardly aware they exist.
[26:36.23]	In fact we are much more likely to notice departures from norms than conformity to them.
[26:43.91]	You will not be surprised if a stranger tried to shake hands when you were introduced,
[26:49.87]	but you might be a little startled if they bowed, started to stroke you or kissed you onboth cheeks.
[26:57.55]	Yet each of these other forms of greeting is appropriate in other parts of the world.
[27:03.27]	When we visit another society whose norms are different,
[27:09.12]	we quickly become aware that things we do this way, they do that way.

[04:02.62]	I' d like to go to college and major in business administration.

[04:31.83]	Question 2
[04:33.31]	W: Is everything ready for the conference?

[05:39.85]	They are both really good here.
[05:42.17]	M: The movie starts in an hour.
[05:44.73]	And we still have to get there and park. So just make a decision.
[05:49.72]	Q: What does the man mean?
[06:06.57]	Question 5
[06:08.09]	W: Tom said he would come to repair our solar heater when he has time.

[06:39.93]	W: So you know that Sam turns down the job offered by the travel agency.
[06:45.31]	M: Yes. The hours were convenient.

[08:25.67]	W: What would you like to know?

[08:32.75]	I believe there is an interesting museum there. It isn' t far, is it?
[08:38.19]
[08:45.34]	And you' re right. It' s a wonderful little museum.
[08:48.30]
[08:52.21]	I have some friends. I' d like to visit there and I also want to get to Newton.
[08:58.09]	They are near each other, aren' t they?

[21:52.15]	On March 13th, while on duty Charles Mclaughlin, a very careless driver employed by the company Lummis was involved in another accident. 3
[22:04.95]	The accident occurred in Riverside California.
[22:08.71]	Not paying attention to his driving,
[22:12.19]
[22:18.67]	This caused minor damage to his truck and serious damage to the car.
[22:24.96]	On the basis of the police report,
[22:27.68]	the Lummis accident committee correctly determined that Mclaughlin had been quite careless. Lummis
[22:33.90]	As a result of the committee' s conclusion, the branch manager Mr. David Rossi reported that
[22:41.97]	he had talked with Mclaughlin about his extremely poor driving record.
[22:46.88]	Further evidence of Mclaughlin' s irresponsibility occurred on May 6th when he was returning from his shift.
[22:54.58]	That day he ran into a rollup door at the Lummis facility in Valero, causing significant damage to the door.
[23:03.18]	Damage to the truck, however, was minor.
[23:06.39]	Finally, on June 7th, Mclaughlin once again demonstrated his carelessness
[23:13.39]	by knocking down several mail boxes near the edge of the company' s parking lot.
[23:18.59]	There was damage to the mailboxes and minor damage to the truck.
[23:23.79]	Mr. David Rossi stated that he had spoken with Mclaughlin on several occasions about his driving record.
[23:30.82]	He added that he had warned Mclaughlin that
[23:35.05]	three preventable accidents in one year could lead to his discharge, as indeed it should.
[23:49.00]
[24:12.46]	24. What did Mclaughlin do on June 7th near the edge of the company' s parking lot?
[24:34.97]	25. What is most probably going to happen to Mclaughlin?
[24:57.23]
[25:29.73]	When Captain Cook asked the chiefs in Tahiti why they always ate apart and alone,
[25:36.26]	they replied, " Because it is right."
[25:39.55]	If we ask Americans why they eat with knives and forks,
[25:43.88]	or why their men wear pants instead of skirts
[25:48.22]	or why they may be married to only one person at a time,
[25:52.50]	we are likely to get similar and very uninformative answers because it' s right,
[25:59.32]	because that' s the way it' s done, because it' s the custom or even I don' t know.
[26:05.70]	The reason for these and countless other patterns of social behavior is that
[26:11.16]	they are controlled by social norms shared rules or guide lines
[26:16.93]	which prescribe the behavior that is appropriate in a given situation.
[26:20.93]	Norms define how people ought to behave under particular circumstances in a particular society.
[26:29.78]	We conform to norms so readily that we are hardly aware they exist.
[26:36.23]	In fact we are much more likely to notice departures from norms than conformity to them.
[26:43.91]	You will not be surprised if a stranger tried to shake hands when you were introduced,
[26:49.87]	but you might be a little startled if they bowed, started to stroke you or kissed you onboth cheeks.
[26:57.55]	Yet each of these other forms of greeting is appropriate in other parts of the world.
[27:03.27]	When we visit another society whose norms are different,
[27:09.12]	we quickly become aware that things we do this way, they do that way.
