听力原文:W: What paper have you got there, John?
M: Oh, the Mirror. I bought it to look at the pictures of the big fight.
W: Oh, the boxing match. I thought you took the Daily Telegraph.
M: Well, I do usually, but the sports aren't so good.
W: What do you think are the best newspapers for students who learn English to read?
M: It depends on their politics and their tastes, of course, but also, I think, on their knowledge of English.
W: What do you mean? I don't see how their knowledge of English comes into it?
M: Well, I think it does. The popular papers like the Mirror and the Sun have nice, short sentences which are easier for a foreign student to read.
W: I am not so sure, because they are very idiomatic and colloquial, and surely that makes them more difficult.
M: No, I really do think they are easier to read.
W: Well ...
M: After all these papers have a lot of pictures and short paragraphs. It must make them more attractive to the learner of English, definitely easier.
W: Yes, it's true, I suppose, that people who buy these popular papers just want a quick glance at the news. They don't want to study it in depth.
M: If you want to study some aspects of the news in depth, the best paper to buy is The Times.
W: Why?
M: It is supposed to be well-balanced and more authoritative. But it also takes practically all day to read it properly.
W: What about politics?
M: Well, The times is supposed to be neutral.
W: But people abroad seem to think it is the propaganda for the government.
M: No, it isn't the mouthpiece of the government as people abroad often seem to think.
W: What paper do you usually buy?
M: The evening paper. I like reading the evening news on the tube on my way home;
W: Oh, I prefer the Evening Standard. It is the best guide to what's on. 1 read the Telegraph in the morning, but then I like to relax in the evening.

Jackie Chan was nominated for his role in the "New Police Story." It was the first time that film artists from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan competed for personal prizes at the Golden Rooster and Full Blossom Film Festival, which gives out the top honors in China's film industry.
Chan expressed his gratefulness to the jury with three "thanks" in his speech at the awarding- ceremony on Saturday evening. "Two years ago, I wanted to make a breakthrough of my performance by acting a different role. I didn't expect to win such an important award by the film," he said.
In the "New Police Story," Chan played a tragic hero, something he had never tried before in his performance career.
Chun is well known for his Kungfu films such as "Drunken Master," "Police Story" and "Rumble in the Bronx. ' "Thunderbolt," also starring Chan, was the first Hong Kong film to be screened at more than 1,000 US cinemas.

听力原文: Like many other seniors, Wang Ying, at Wuhan University, has been busy preparing for the postgraduate entrance exams since the new semester began. But in another way she's different. Her motivation comes not from wanting to get a master's degree to find a good job. She wants to pursue further studies because she hopes to learn more about the history and culture of her country.
Wang is majoring in Chinese traditional culture, an unusual major for college students all across the country. These majors are studying a way of life that existed thousands of years ago.
"We read articles loud together. And the teachers explain them word by word. It's quite similar to class in a private school in ancient times, ' says Ye Daiyin, a junior.
Wuhan established the major four years ago. The students take courses based on the classical culture of ancient China, such as literature, philosophy, and history. Their curriculum has classic works like the Four Books (Si Shu), the Five Classics (Wu Jing), the Song of Chu (Chu Cf), and Lao Zi.
Many of the students have joined the Chunying Poetry Association, which is open to anyone interested in classical poetry. They usually practise composing ancient poems.

听力原文:M: Hello?
W: Hello, Alan. This is Lucy. I'm in trouble.
M: What happened?
W: I'm afraid I won't be on the flight this afternoon. I got blocked in a traffic jam on the way to the airport and, by the time I got here there were no seats left. The airline had oversold the seats. I don't know what to do.
M: Well, the best thing to do is to get a seat on another airline. You could ask your airline to arrange for it. There might be a later flight tonight, or a flight tomorrow morning.
W: Well, if I have to stay overnight at the airport, I don't think I have enough cash to pay bills. I left my credit card at home.
M: Oh, that's unlucky.
W: So, what do you think I should do?
M: Well, the only thing to do is—er—for us to pay for your room and you can pay us back later. I'll
give them my credit card number and they'll charge it to me.
W: Thank you so much, Alan.
M: It's a pleasure.
