W: You have a lot of interesting music in your music library. Where did you find it?

M: Some of it was copied from my CDs before I got rid of them.

W: So now you only buy digital music?

M: Yeah, occasionally I buy songs from iTunes. But generally I get my music from eMusic. They don't have a lot of pop music. But they have a lot of albums of independent musicians. And the songs are much cheaper.

W: Li Qiang, you've started university in New York. How do you find the university life there?

M: Well, it's quite different from that in China. There you're more on your own. Challenging but meaningful!

W: Come on, tell me more details.

M: Okay. For one thing, you are free to choose when to have lessons and what courses to take. I don't choose any early-morning lessons on Monday.

W: I see. So being able to get up late is what you like most in the university?

M: Not exactly. I don't get up late every day. On Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, I get up at 7:30 because my advanced physics class begins at 8:00.This course is rather difficult. I prefer to have it in the morning with a clear mind.  

W: You know exactly what you are doing in the university. That's awesome.

W: Good morning, Peter. What can I do for you today?

M: Hi, Doctor. I'm here because of sleeping problems.

W: How long have you been like this?

M: Since four months ago.

W: I see. Was there a stressful event in your life at that time?

M: Well, at first I thought it was the outbreak of the virus. Actually, it's my new job. I started a job then. I do research for an IT company. I like it but I have to work 60 hours a week.

W: That sounds stressful.

M: It is.

W: Is it possible for you to shorten the working hours?

M: No, as a new employee, I have to work hard to prove my value to the company.

W: All right, you need to find ways to reduce stress. Exercise can be helpful. Perhaps you can go to the gym after work.

M: Well, yes, not every day, but I could certainly go to the gym a few evenings.

听下面一段独白，回答第18至第20三个小题。现在你有15秒钟的时间阅读这三个小题。

M: Hey guys! My name's Michael and I'm here to tell you about my job as a video game writer. I work with game developers and designers to think of stories, and I write all the dialogues by myself. When I was in secondary school, I never imagined that I would do this job. I didn't know what to study at university. I was good at lots of science subjects, but I also loved entertaining people and I was good at art. In the end, I went to a film school where I studied lighting, special effects, etc. It was there that I started to think about working in the video game industry. People also ask me what I like most about being a video game writer. Well, the money is good and it's quite exciting. Just last night, for example, I was at a big dinner where prizes were given for new games. But what I love most is the fact that I get on well with everyone in the company. That's what makes my job so much fun.
