听力原文:M: Good morning. Can I help you?
W: Hello. My name's Jill Bush. I'm planning to go to a conference in Sydney for three weeks.
M: I see. Do you want the excursion fare or the full return fare? W. Now, can I get a stopover on an excursion fare?
M: Yes, you are allowed only one stopover on the excursion fare.
W: Oh, I see, only one.
M: Yes. But of course, if you pay the full return fare then you can have unlimited stopovers. There's Singapore, Kuwait, Athens, you've really got quite a lot of choices you know.
W: Oh, It sounds good. You see, I've got a two-week holiday after the conference. How much is the full fare?
M: The full fare? Well, that's really quite a lot. It's £ 1,204.
W: Yes. Well, it's once in a lifetime, you know. The thing is actually that I'm absolutely afraid of flying. I've never done it before.
M: Oh dear. Um…
W: And I'm hoping that I can persuade my two friends to go along with me.
M: Yes, that would be a good idea.
W: By the way, one of them is in Cairo at the moment. Would it be possible for me to stopover there on my way to Sydney?
M: Yes, of course. There are lots of flights to Cairo and, then plenty more onwards from Cairo to Sydney. And then you can stay for as long as you like.
W: Oh, that's great! Thanks very much.

听力原文:W: Next! Good morning, can I help you?
M: This place is a madhouse! Everybody is pushing and shoving!
W: Yes, I know. We are shorthanded and it is very crowded today. Now what can I do for you?
M: I want a ticket to New York.
W: Okay. One way or round trip?
M: One way, of course. I don't want to hang around here any longer. I was here in Los Angeles last year and I hated it. I come here on business every year and I hate it. It's too spread out, too smoggy!
W: That'll be $375. How would you like to pay?
M: Cash, of course. I don't believe in plastic money or credit cards, or any of that. Listen, can you hurry it up?
W: I'm doing my best, Sir. Aisle or window seat?
M: Window seat.
W: Smoking or nonsmoking?
M: Nonsmoking, of course ! Oh, by the way, I'm supposed to get a special meal. Doctor's order—I can't eat meat. Last time I had a special salad plate. I'd like one of those this time, too.
W: I'm sorry. I'm not able to do that. The special salad is not available during this flight.
M: What! You can't give me my special salad?
W: I'm sorry. I would like to, but I simply cannot.
M: Well, I don't give up so easily. Where's your supervisor?
