Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文:M:My beother Mike has just done a course at the Creen Park Camping School
W: Really! What made him decide to do that?
M: Well, for one thing, some boys in his class decided to do it and they dared him to go with them!
W: You mean he didn't really want to go?
M: I think he wanted to go but I think he was also a little frightened. Of course, now that he's done it, he's very pleased with himself and he's always talking about it.
W: So he enjoyed it, didn't he?
M: Not exactly. I think he's enjoying the feeling of having done it more than he enjoyed actually doing it!
W: What sort of things did he do?
M: Oh, all sorts of open-air activities: hiking, camping, canoeing. One thing he had to do was to capsize a canoe and then right it again without getting out. He said the water was very cold but hat he hardly noticed it at the time.
W: Why not?
M: He was too busy righting the canoe.
W: That doesn't sound very comfortable at this time of the year.
M: On another occasion he had to spend a day and a night by himself in the open country.
W: Was he frightened?
M: He was at first, apparently, but then he got used to it.
W: It seems to me that the course did him a lot of good. I expect it's made him more self-reliant.
M: Now he wants me to go!

A. He was eager to do the course.
B. He had done outdoor activities.
C. He enjoyed life in the open country.

听力原文: How we look and how we appear to others probably worry us more when we are in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life. Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion.
Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment. Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress. The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull. What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential persona can establish a fashion.
Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion. At the same time, appearance is still important in certain circumstances and then we must choose our clothes carefully. However, you need never feel depressed if you don't look like the latest fashion photo. Look around you and you'll see that no one else does either!
