W: Your meeting is at 2:00 p.m. this afternoon.

M: OK, thanks. Well, did anyone call while I was out?

W: Only your wife. She wants you to pick up some wine on your way home.

W: If you still can't sleep well, you should go to the hospital. I can give you a ride.

M: I just started a new job. My insurance doesn't cover me until next month.

W: Where are we? I haven't seen any road signs for miles, and there aren't any houses, either. I think we took a wrong turn back there.

M: Yeah, I think you're right. Pull over and I'll take a closer look at the map.

M: That was expensive. I only got one dollar change. When I was young, even five dollars would have been a crazy price for an ice cream.

W: You gave him ten dollars? Surely, he has made a mistake. Go back and ask.

M: Good morning, ma'am. Can I help you?

W: Yes. I need this dress by Friday. It has a small stain on it, but I'm hoping you can get it out.

听下面一段对话，回答第6至第7两个小题。现在你有10秒钟的时间阅读这两个小题。

W: Daddy, why is the sky blue?

M: Oh, honey...it's a little hard to explain. There are things you don't understand about science yet.

W: Oh. I thought it was because the ocean is blue. The sky is always looking at the ocean, so it should be blue, too.

M: That's a very good idea, Ruby! That is very close to the real reason, too. The sky has a lot to do with the ocean. They're related, in a way. Did you ever notice that their color is never exactly the same? It's just like you and your brother Peter. You look alike because you're related, but you don't look exactly the same.

W: Hi, I'm Alice. Is this your first day of college?

M: I'm Chris. I'm actually just visiting the campus. This is my last year of high school, and I'm trying to choose a university. I got an offer from this school. My school fees will be paid if I come here...

W: You must be really smart, then! Not a lot of people get full scholarships.

M: I'm OK in school. The reason why I got the offer is that I'm a basketball player.

W: I might have guessed that. You're very tall!

M: You should come to one of my games. Our first one is in two weeks.

W: Thanks. I'll think about it. The last time I went to a game, I got hit in the face with a ball.

M: Was it a basketball game?

W: No, it was a baseball game. I had to go to the hospital.

W: I'm trying to get a book published, but I don't know how to begin. Should I call a publisher or try to advertise it myself?

M: Maybe you should ask Mr. Wyatt. He knows a lot about the book industry.

W: Good idea! I always loved his English classes. He's the reason that I started writing!

M: I'd like to read your book sometime though. How long is it? I usually just read books that are less than 200 pages. Remember that book Ulysses which we read in Mr. Wyatt's class? That is over 700 pages!

W: Oh yeah, that took forever to read. My book is not as thick as that. It's probably about half that long. I won't have an actually printed book to give you, at least for a few more months. The only others I have are computer files and my handwritten copies.

M: Can you just give me a computer file?

W: Yes. I'll do that right away. If you are going to read it, I need your honest opinion though. It is the only way I can get better.

听下面一段对话，回答第14至第17四个小题。现在你有20秒钟的时间阅读这四个小题。

W: I read an interesting article the other day. It had a lot of data on how people get their news. Did you know that in the United States, only 5% of people get their news from the radio?

M: That makes sense. I only listen to music on the radio. Are most people getting their news from the newspaper or television instead?

W: Only 1% more people get it from newspapers, but most people get it from the Internet actually.

M: Wow, really? I would have thought that people preferred getting news from the television. What about other countries? Are they the same?

W: Well, the article spoke about a few countries. France, Germany and Italy actually have the highest rates of television news watchers. Of those in the study, Japan has the most newspaper readers.

M: That is really interesting. I don't think I know a single person of our age who listens to radio news either. My grandparents and their generation are the ones who grew up with that.

W: It's amazing how our technology has changed many things about day-to-day life. I bet in one hundred years, people will get their news from something we can't even dream of.

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。

W: A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling left out at break because her best friend wasn't around. Here's our advice to her, and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes. It's hard when a best friend isn't around, maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime. You want to have new friends. But how do you make new friends? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there's always room for more friends. Start by looking around your classroom — thinking about which kids you'd like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile and be friendly. Offer to share something with or express your appreciation to them, invite someone to play with you or say "Do you want to sit here?" at lunchtime. If you have trouble doing this or if you're feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help, and pretty soon you'll have one, or two, or even more new friends.
