听力原文:M: Let's look at a few things about English. What is a compound word?
W: Two chemicals mixed together?
M: Very funny, but no.
W: TWO words mixed together.
M: Well, yes, in a manner of speaking. A compound word is made up of two or more words that express a single idea. There are different ways that compound nouns can be formed. We are going to concentrate here on the noun plus noun form. Can you come up with any examples?
W: Doghouse, dog plus house. Cupcake, cup and cake.
M: Excellent. There are three different ways to form. this type of compound noun: there is the closed form, in which the words come together as one, such as firefly, keyboard, notebook.
W: Textbook, fireplace.
M: Great. And there is the hyphenated form. ski-boot, daughter-in-law, sin-pack...The last form. of compound nouns is the open form, such as post office, history book, mineral water. Just exactly how and why these three exist is not clear, but it seems likely that the process will begin with two words, become hyphenated after a time, and then eventually end up as just one word. Language is a living thing and always changing.

听力原文:M: Hey, Jane. Have you been to the new library yet?
W: Oh, hi, Tom. Yes, I went last week to check it out. I really like it.
M: Yes, I like it too. I like the study areas. There seems to be a lot of room to just spread out and focus on the books. It's way better than the old library where it seemed like we were all jammed into one area.
W: You're right. The only bad thing about it is that it's pretty far away. It takes me about twenty minutes to get there by bus.
M: I was thinking that too. It's too had it takes so long to get there. I don't like being dependent on the buses. Have you tried riding your bike there? It might take a little longer but at least you're getting a bit of exercise.
W: That's a good idea, Tom. Maybe I'll try riding this week. I just have to make sure I'm good and rested. Some-times, when I'm over tired I'm not too coordinated. Knowing me, I'd have a lead of books in my backpack and get distracted by something and crash my bike.
M: Hmm. Well, you've just got to keep an eye out for those potholes. Oh, wow. Look at the time! I've got to get to my next class. I'll see you around.
W: Good talking to you, Tom. I'll be seeing you.
