听力原文:W: Good morning! University Language Centre. How can I help you?
M: I'm interested in doing a language course. I did Mandarin Chinese last year and now I'd like to do Japanese. Can you give me some information about what courses are available at your centre and when they start? That sort of thing.
W: Yes, certainly. Well, we actually offer a number of courses in Japanese at different levels. Are you looking for full time or part time?
M: Oh! I couldn't manage full time as I work every day but evenings would be fine and certainly preferable to weekends.
W: Well, we don't offer courses at weekends anyway, but let me run through your options. We have a 12-week intensive course three hours three nights a week—that's our crash course! Or an eight-month course two nights a week.
M: I think the crash course would suit me best as I'll be leaving for Japan in six months' time.
W: Are you a beginner?
M: Not an absolute beginner, no!
W: Well... we offer the courses at three levels, beginners, lower intermediate and upper intermediate, though we don't run them all. It depends very much on demand.
M: I'd probably be at the lower intermediate level—as I did some Japanese at school but that was ages ago.
W: Right, well the next Level Two course begins on Monday 12th September—there are still some places on that one—otherwise you'd have to wait until January or March.
M: No—I'd prefer the next course.
W: Right! Can I get some details from you then so I can send you some information?
M: Sure!
W: What's your name? Family name first.
M: Hagerty. Richard.
W: H-A-G-A-R-T-Y?
M: No, H-A-G-E-R-T-Y.
W: Oh, OK! And your email address, Richard?
M: It's Ricky 45—that's one word R-I-C-K-Y 45, at hotmail dot com.
W: And I just need some other information for our statistics. This helps us offer the best possible courses and draw up a profile of our students.
M: Fine!
W: What's your date of birth?
M: I was born on 29th February 1980.
W: 1980. And just one or two other questions for our market research, if you don't mind.
M: No, that's fine.
W: What are your main reasons for studying Japanese? Business, travel or general interest?
M: My company's sending me to Japan for two years.
W: Alright—I'll put down "Business". And do you have any specific needs? Will there be an emphasis on written language? For instance, will you need to know how to write business letters, that sort of thing?
M: No. But I will need to be able to communicate with people on a clay-to-day basis.
W: OK, so I'll put down "conversation". Thank you very much for your cooperation.

听力原文: Nick, an Italian-American who lived in San Francisco, flew from America to Italy to visit relatives. On the way, the plane made a one-hour stop to refuel at New York Airport.
Thinking that he had arrived, Nick got out and spent two days in New York believing he was in Rome. When his relatives were not there to meet him, Nick thought they had been caught in the heavy Roman traffic mentioned in their letters. While looking for their address, Nick could not help noticing that modernization had changed most, if not all, of the ancient city' s landmarks.
He also noticed that many people spoke English with strong American accent. However, he just thought that Americans got everywhere. He also believed that so many street signs were written in English especially for the Americans.
Nick did not believe it when he was told that he was in New
York. In order to get him on a plane back to San Francisco, the policeman raced him to the airport in a police car with sirens screaming. "See," said Nick to his interpreter, "I know I' m in Italy. That' s how they drive."
