听力原文： One of Britain's few distinctive contributions to world culture may be doomed, according to a survey that suggests holiday postcards are being emailed and texted into extinction. More than half of the 1,000 holiday-makers interviewed said they had decided to send fewer cards, turning instead to their electronic rivals. A quarter of the respondents dismissed postcards as old-fashioned and slow to arrive. A further 14% admitted that thinking of something to fill the space was too challenging, compared with a call home.
Thomson Holidays commissioned the poll. Its head, Chris Motters said that if the British postcard did become extinct, they would lose for ever something of great importance to the nation. He was backed by Marie Angelou of Sussex University, who has investigated the importance of sending and receiving postcards. "Postcards are nothing like phone calls, instant texting and direct photo shots via the mobile," she said. "All these are useful, practical devices, but postcards offer something else, something additional that is not ordinary and simply functional, but imaginative and personal. They can evoke the real atmosphere of your holiday in a way that nothing else can do. They're also for more than a moment — with some people adding them to collections built up over years and years."
Postcard-collecting is third only to coins and stamps in Britain's allied tradition of collecting things. The country's uniquely postcard-related achievements include the invention in 1902 of the "divided back". With the address taking up half of the writing area, brief postcard scribbles became the pioneer to today's text messages.

听力原文：W: Hello!
M: Good evening. Is that Mrs. Philips？
W: Yes, it is.
M: Well, Mrs. Phillips. This evening, I'm calling to offer you a special discount on...
W: Ah, no, let me guess. You want to sell a subscription to the newspaper or a great deal on the airfare to Hawaii, right？ Or, you want to offer me an unbelievable bargain on dance lessons.
M: No, no, actually Mrs. Philips. Oh, sorry. That was the last guy. Uh, we want to offer you a free membership to our sports club downtown at the introductory price of $39.95.
W: 39.95？ I thought you said free! Uh, listen, I'm not interested.
M: Well, it includes unlimited access to all our facilities, including the gym, weight room, tennis courts, and swimming pool.
W: Again, I'm not interested. I have my own fitness program I do around the house anyway.
M: Well, this is an once-in-a-life-time deal. In addition, the location of the sports club is near your house. That will be convenient for you.
W: Like I said, I'll pass this time. And please put me on your "don't-call" list.
M: Okay. It'll take between four and six months before your name will be removed from our database. You might be , called by another representative during that time.
W: Ah, man...
M: Have a nice evening, Mrs. Philips.

听力原文：W: This food is terrible! I can't even finish my dinner.
M: I know, you think with all the money we paid for room and board, the university could hire a better food service. Where are you heading next？
W: I'm going over to the student recreation center to play some bridge.
M: You are spending your time on a card game？
W: Not just a card game. It's one of the most strategic games.
M: So I have heard. Don't you play with a partner？
W: Yeah! Four people play, two against the other two.
M: So, you try to play in cooperation with your partner？
W: Actually, the cards of one of the four players are turned face-up. That player is called the dummy.
M: I wouldn't want to be called that. When you are the dummy, what do you do while the cards are being played？
W: Anything you want. Sit there and study, shuffle another deck, get snacks for everyone... I like to stand behind my partner and watch. That is very interesting.
M: You know, I've heard that bridge is habit-forming. You should be careful not to play so much that you don't get your studying done.
W: Don't worry about me. I only play cards on Thursday after dinner, and sometimes when they need a fourth player. If you like, I could teach you.
M: Thanks, but I have a pretty heavy workload this semester. I already spend my evenings doing things I don't really know how to do yet.
W: I know you are busy, but sometimes you need to have a rest.
