听力原文: In America, where labor costs are so high. "do-it-yourself" is away of life. Many people repair their own cars, build their own garages, even remodel their own houses. Soon they may also be writing their own books. In Hollywood there is a company that publishes children's books with the aid of computers. Although other book com panics also publish that way, this particular company is very unusual. It "personalizes" the books, by having the computer make the reader the leading character in the story. Here is how they do it. Let us say your child is named Jenny. She lives on Oak Drive in St. Lou is, has a dog named Spot, a cat named Tabby, and three playmates whose names are Betsy, Sandy and Jody. The computer uses this in formation to fill out a story that has already been prepared and illustrated. The story is then printed with standard equipment as a hard cover book. A child who receives such a book might say, "This book is about me"; the company therefore calls itself the "Me-books Publishing Company".
Children like the me-books because they like to see in print their own names and the names of their friends and their pets. But more important, "personalization" has been found to be an important tool in developing enthusiasm for reading. Me-books are thus helping a child to learn how to read by appealing to that natural desire to see his own name in print.

听力原文:M: So, Andrea, you are going home for the holidays?
W: I sure am. I've booked a flight for tomorrow afternoon and I can't wait!
M: That sounds great.
W: What about you? Going home, toe?
M: I haven't decided yet, I'm still debating.
W: Haven't decided? Oh, you're never going to get a flight out of here. I'm sure all the seats have been reserved by now. It's the holiday season, after all!
M: Well, it's not such a big deal for me. My family only lives about a hundred and fifty miles from here. I usually drive or take the train. It's a short trip.
W: You don't sound very excited about it.
M: Well, we're not really a very close-knit family. I have three brothers, and they're spread out all over the place. One lives on the East Coast and the other on the West Coast. I even have a brother in Montreal!
W: Oh, wow! What does he do?
M: Translation work. It's kind of strange, but we rarely get together as a family anymore.
W: Well, I try to get home as much as possible. We're a big family-there are six of us children—so it's always a lot of fun.
M: Six kids?
W: Yep. And we've all really close. You should see it—most of us are married, too, so it makes for a very crowded house over the holidays.
M: I can imagine.
W: Of course, there are too many people to cook dinner for. It's a re al headache for my parents. So we end up going out to dinner a lot. It's pretty crazy.
M: Well, at my house my mother loves to cook. So, when all of us do get home—which isn't that often—she always cooks big, homemade meals. We have leftovers for days!
