Now listen to the interview.
听力原文：Stall: Hi, Camellia. Have you attended professor Gabriel's lecture？
Camellia: No. What was it about？
Stall: Energy -- energy future and today.
Camellia: Oh, what a pity. You know, I'm writing a paper on this subject. And I have spent a lot of time to collect materials. I shouldn't have missed this chance.
Stan: Don't worry. I made a lot of notes. You can take my notebook and have a look.
Camellia: It's very kind of you... (open the notebook).., mmm.., but it seems.., mmm.., that you have written hastily and some parts are not...
Stall: That's true. The lecture is magnificent, so I tried to write down all the things.., mmm.., never mind. I'm free now and I can tell you what I can remember.
Camellia: Oh, thank you. You're really a great friend.
Start: OK. The professor began with the alternative energy. He said there is a great deal of information and enthusiasm about the development and increased production for the global energy needs from alternative energy sources.
Camellia: I know that solar energy, wind power and moving water are all sources of alternative energy.
Stan: And they are progressing, wind power and moving water are all sources of alternative energy.
Camellia: It's not so？
Start: According to the professor, absolutely not. We often mention alternative energy to refer to those energy that is produced from sources other than our primary energy supply: fossil fuels -- coal, oil and natural gas. The problem is, fossil fuels are non-renewable.
Camellia: Yes, you know, fossil fuels were formed from plants and animals that lived hundreds of millions of years ago. So there would be another hundreds of millions of years to reproduce.
Start: They are limited in supply and we have mostly depended on them for our energy needs, from home heating and electricity to fuel for our automobiles and mass transportation. They will one day be used up. There is no escaping this conclusion.
Camellia: How about nuclear energy. Isn't it a potential source of energy？
Start: The professor said nuclear energy, which is primarily generated by splitting atoms, only provides 6% of the world's energy supplies. And it is not likely to be a major source of world energy consumption because of public pressure and the relative dangers associated with unleashing the power of the atom.
Camellia: Did the professor give any information about how much fossil energies provide？
Stall: Let me see...ah, yes, that's nearly 88% of the world's energy needs, or about 350 quadrillion British Thermal Units -- or BTUs. The total world energy demand is about 400 quadrillion BTUs -- each year. A BTU is roughly equal to the energy and heat generated by a match. Of this amount oil, coal and natural gas supply, oil is the king, providing about 41% of the world's total energy supplies, or about 164 quadrillion BTUs. Coal provides 24% of the world's energy., or 96 quadrillion BTUs, and natural gas provides the remaining 22%, or 88 quadrillion BTUs.
Camellia: Just how limited are our fossil fuel reserves？
Stan: Some estimates say our fossil fuel reserves will be used up within 50 years, while others say it will be 100-120 years.
Camellia: It's terrible. We are going to run out of fossil fuels for energy and we have no choice but to prepare for the new age of energy production since, most certainly, human demands for energy will not decrease.
Start: Nobody really knows when the last drop of oil, lump of coal or cubic foot of natural gas will be collected from the Earth. All of it will depend on how well we manage our manage our energy demands and how well we can develop

Today things have changed a lot. T-shirts has become colourful an fashionable. It can be seen almost everywhere and on everyone. Women and children wear T-shirts as well as teenagers, niversity students and men from all walks of life. T-shirts are worn on the playground, on the beach or

听力原文：M: Hello, Sue! I'm leaving tomorrow on holiday.
W: How nice! where are you going？
M: Italy.
W: Tell me more.
M: Well, I'm leaving at 8 tomorrow morning.
W: Are you driving to the airport, or are you taking a coach？
M: Driving. That's about an hour. Er, I'm arriving at the airport at 9 o'clock and taking off at 10 o'clock.
W: What are you going to do in Italy？ Lie on the beach and get nicely suntanned？
M: I enjoy sunbathing on the beach. But this holiday is going to be a bit different. It's more of a cultural holiday. I hope to visit some museums, art galleries, taste a bit of the food and the drink, and experience the lifestyle. of Italy.
W: Sounds pretty interesting.
M: Yeah, I've got a whole list of museums and art galleries. And in fact, I'm hiring a car in Milan so I can drive around a bit.
W: That's a good idea. Hiring a car makes it easier to see the city. Well, actually I'm going to have a holiday which is rather different from yours.
M: Where are you going then？
W: Haven't decided yet. I may go to the beach and stay in a small hotel where I can watch the sea. I just want to take it easy, you know.
M: I understand. You've worked too hard this semester. A bit of rest will do you good.
W: That's tree. Oh, Gosh! I've got to go now. Have a nice holiday!
M: Thanks. You too! Bye.
