听力原文：W: Well, Mr. Steve, we have had an interesting discussion about your work. Now, tell us something about your after work activities.
M: I guess not much different from everyone else. I'm fond of sports, and I am about 3 miles every day. I particularly enjoy cross-country running, where you have to run across fields, jump over streams and so on. While I'm running I think about all kinds of things, and at the end of a run I'm sometimes surprised to find that I've managed to solve a problem that was on my mind.
Next year I'm going to ay the London Marathon. It's a long, hard race—26 miles, or 42 kilometres and you have to be tough to finish, but I very much want to do it. I worry a bit about getting old, and I'd like to prove to myself that I'm still almost as well as I was twenty years ago. I'm interested in climbing as well as running. I'll never become an expert climber, but I know what I'm doing in the mountains. I successfully completed a course in snow and ice climbing when I was younger, and I've done a lot of easy climbs in the Alps during the last few years. My wife doesn't share my interest in mountains. She agreed to go climbing with me once, but she found that she felt sick as soon as she reached above 1000 metres, so we decided to follow different hobbies.
W: You certainly seem to enjoy various types of recreation. All right, Mr. Smith. Thanks for your interesting talk.
What are the man's hobbies？

听力原文：M: Jane, let's go swimming at the Student Center.
W: I'd like to, Tom, but I have a paper due on Friday, and I haven't even started it yet.
M: Just an hour. I've got n test tomorrow, so I won't be able to stay very long.
W: I need the exercise, but I just can't spare the time.
M: Okay, how about dinner at the Grill？ You have to eat something, and it's right by the library. I'll go over there with you after dinner, and you can do your research while I study for my test.
W: Well, but...
M: Come on. You'll probably want to stay late, and you shouldn't walk home after dark. I'll stay until you're ready to go.
W: That would be nice, but...
M: Look, we really wouldn't be wasting any time. We'd just be doing everything we need to do, hut we'd be doing it together. I just want to spend time with you.
W: Me, too. Okay. I need to go home first, then I'll meet you at the Grill about six. Is that all right？
M: That's great. We'll get everything done. You'll see.
What do Tom and Jane mainly discuss？
M: I have the editorial to write, as well as several book reviews.
Where do the speakers work？
M: No, I wasn't. It's a mystery to me why the library was closed early.
What does the man mean？
Doctors have their own special sleep problems. Residents are famously short of sleep. It is not unusual for them to work 40 hours in a row without rest. They are not in the least worried about it, confident they can still deliver the highest quality of medical care. But an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association points out that in the morning after 24 hours of sleeplessness, a person s motor performance is comparable to that of someone who is drunk. Curiously, surgeons who believe that operating under the influence of alcohol is grounds for sacking often don't think twice about operating without enough sleep.
"I could tell you horror stories," says Jaya Agrawal, president of the American Medical Student Association, Which runs a website for residents. Some are terrifying. "I was operating after being up for over 36 hours," one writes. "I literally fell asleep standing up and nearly planted my face into the wound."
"Practically every surgical resident I know has fallen asleep at the wheel driving home from work." writes another. "I know of three who have hit parked cars. Another hit a ' Jersey gate' on the New Jersey Expressway, going 105km/h."
"Your own patients have become the enemy," writes a third, because they are "the one thing that stands between you and a few hours of sleep."
The U.S. controls the hours of pilots and truck drivers. But until such a system is in place for doctors, patients are on their own. If you're worded about the people treating you or a loved one, you should feel free to ask how many hours of sleep they have had and if more rested staffers are available.
Sleep is a funny thing because ______.
