W: Hello, Sam. This is Paula Handson. Sorry to bother you. But I'm having a small problem. I thought you might be able to help me with.
M: Sure, Paula. What' s up?
W: Well, you know Sarah and I moved into an off-campus apartment in the fall, over on the west side of town? Anyway we' ve been happy with it until the past couple of months.
M: Yeah. What happened?
W: Well, the dishwasher broke down. So we report it to Ms Connors, the owner, she said she' d take care of it. But a month went by and nothing happened.
M: Did you get back in touch with her?
W: I got a repairperson to give me an estimate, then I sent it to her. When I didn't hear from her, I had the repair done. And I took out the cost from the rent check.
M: So, what' s the problem?
W: She called here, mad with me. She said she could have gotten the repair done for less money. Now she' s threatening to drive us out for not paying the full rent.
M: Hold on, Paula. It does sound pretty serious. But'I'm sure you can all sit down and work this out.
W: Well, you are over at the law school. So I wondered if you would mind coming with Sarah and me when we go to talk to Ms. Connors. We' re supposed to meet with her tomorrow night at eight.
M: Sure. I haven't studied a lot about contracts yet. But I' d be glad to help you. Why don' t I stop by at about 7:30?
W: Thanks, Sam. You' re a lifesaver.

听力原文: If you live in a city in North America or Europe, you have probably never thought much about water. Whenever you need some, you turn on the tap and there it is. Millions of people in other parts of the world are not so lucky. (29)They have trouble getting enough clean water tot their basic needs. This situation may. soon become common all around the world, scientists believe. In fact, they say that the lack of clean water may be one of the biggest issues in the twenty-first century.
The reasons for this are clear. (30)On the one hand, people are using more water than ever before. Over the last fifty years, the population of the world has more than doubled. So has the demand for water, for home use, for farming, and for industry. (30)On the other hand, supplies of clean water are disappearing. Many sources of surface water such as rivers, lakes, and streams—are too polluted and unhealthy for use as drinking water. This has forced more and more people to drill wells so they can get water from underground.
There are enormous amounts of water deep underground in lakes called aquifers. Until recently, scientists believed this groundwater was safe from pollution. Then, in 1980s, people in the United States began to find chemicals in their well water, and scientists took a closer look at what was happening. Weldon Spring, Missouri, for example, was the site of a bomb factory during World War Ⅱ. The factory was destroyed after the war, but poisonous chemicals remained on the ground. Very slowly, (31) theses chemicals dripped down through the ground and into the aquifer. Once they did, however, the water from that aquifer was no longer drinkable.

A. Pollution problems.
B. Water supplies around the world.
C. An industrial site in Missouri.
D. Groundwater pollution.
听力原文: The interpretation of dreams has been a favorite activity of people for as long as we have had recorded history. Some of these dream interpretations have become famous, and some, (32)like the European' psychologist Sigmund Freud, felt that all dreams have meanings which relate to our personal relationships with family members and friends.
Good dreams include those in which we see ourselves succeeding in some difficult or pleasant activity such as singing, dancing, talking with our friends, or experiencing the happiness which may not occur in our waking hours. Many persons report dreams of competing in athletic competitions or music competitions. The performance in these events can go beyond anything we might experience in reality. Who among us has not dreamed of spending pleasant hours with our real or imaginary lover, enjoying his or her company in ways known only to those who have loved'? (33)Interpreters of such dreams give varied meanings, most of which are probably not very reliable. But, we often awake from good dreams in a good mood, rested and ready to face the day.
Bad or unpleasant dreams include those which frighten us, recall unpleasant experiences from our lives, or (34) present problems for which there is no evident solution. Dreams of failing an exam at school, dreams of losing a job or a good friend, dreams of accidents or death of a loved one in our family, etc, are unsettling and not easily understood. Some dream experts believe these dreams are now a threatening way to face a problem from real life. (35)They give us a way to deal with the problem so that we may find it less stressful in our waking hours.
