听力原文： Some of America's best universities have accepted an unusually low percentage of students for admission this fall (32) . For example, the Wall Street Journal reported that Stanford University had a record low admission rate this year. The newspaper said the California school accepted less than 11 percent of the students who applied.
College admissions officers give a number of reasons for the higher rates of rejection letters this year. They say the main reason is that high school seniors are applying to more schools than in the past (33) . Some colleges reported big increases in the number of applications. Another reason is the general increase in students going to college. Electronic forms make applying easier. For example, students can send an online form. called the Common Application to many different colleges and universities. Many students who apply to top schools are placed on a waiting list. They do not get a decision until the school knows how many applicants who are offered admission will accept the offer (34) . Just as students compete, so do schools.
The increasing competition for the best colleges means more worry for students and parents. They wander just what schools are looking for. They wonder why a top student is accepted at one school but not another (35) . The Wall Street Journal says some top schools are actively looking for students who have shown great interest in helping others. Other schools are said to be looking for students who have musical talent.

听力原文：W: I've been reading about a new healthful snack food (19) . It's made from fish. Have you heard anything about it？
M: No, I haven't. But I don't like fish very much anyway.
W: Not m worry. Although it’s made primarily from fish, it actually doesn't have a fishy taste. In fact it can be flavored with tomato, cheese, or chocolate for instance.
M: How could it not taste fishy(20) ？ Do you know how this snack food is made？
W: First, the fish is crushed, cooked and fermented, then water and starch are added to make dough.
M: It sounds awful.
W: Actually the dough is tasteless at that point. So the flavorings are added to give it some taste (21) .
M: Well, it still sounds a little strange. But I suppose this product will at least be low calorie and high protein, like a health food.
W: Yes, you could call it that. And it has a long shelf life, so it won't spoil quickly. It is also easy to digest and can be made from types of fish that usually aren't eaten or from high grade fish byproducts.
M: Mm… Have you got any samples？ I might be willing to try the cheese-flavored variety.
W: No. None of these seems to be available yet. As I understand it, this fish snack food probably won't be in the stores for another couple of years. So you have a while to get used to the whole idea.
M: A couple of years, ha？ It may just take me that long, but thanks for telling me about it.
