听力原文:W: David! Can I give you a hand with one of those grocery bags?
M: Sure, Nancy! Could you take this one, please? I didn't realize how heavy these bags would be.
W: Why did you buy so much stuff when you have to walk home from the store?
M: Well, I didn't intend to buy a lot—but I'm having some people over and I guess I needed more than I expected.
W: What' s the occasion?
M: The people I live with, the Kramers, have been on vacation for a month, and I thought I' d surprise them. I' m inviting some of their friends and family for a welcome-home dinner.
W: That' s really thoughtful of you.
M: I figure it' s the least I can do for them. They' ve been letting me stay with them rent-free while I' m in school.
W: Really? That' s pretty generous of them.
M: Well, they understand how difficult it is to make ends meet when you' re a student. They' ve been such a big help to me. I thought that this might be a small way to thank them for their generosity.

听力原文: Today, air travel is far safer than driving a car on a busy motor way. But there is a danger that grows every year. From the moment an airplane takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watched on radar screens. Air-traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to climb and when to come down. The air-traffic controllers around a busy airport may handle 1,000 planes a day. Any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. Even a small mistake on their part could cause a disaster. Recently, such a disaster almost happened, Two large jets were flying towards the airport. One was carry?g 69 passengers and had come from Toronto. The other was carrying 176 passengers from Chicago. An air-traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each other. He ordered one to turn to the right and to climb. But he made a mistake. He ordered the wrong plane to do this. So, instead of turning away from the second plane, the first plane turned towards it. Fifteen seconds later, it flew directly in front of the second plane. They avoided each other by the smallest part of a second. The distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool. This is an example of the danger that grows every year.
