听力原文:W: Okay, as an adult, what are some of the ways you've done about trying to become a better reader and writer?
M: When I'm walking down the street, I look at things. When I'm sitting on the bus, I might look at the signs and read them. I read a little more now than I used to. I don't always have time to go home and pick up a book and read because I have three kids.
W: Right. So that's something you think would make you a better reader, but you don't usually have time to do it.
M: Oh yeah. If you could pick up a book every day, it would make you a better reader.
W: How do you know?
M: Oh I know that for a fact. Because when I just had one child, I was able to do that. One child is a big difference than three. I was able to do more for myself than I am now. Like Mr. Mark, another learner in the program, for instance, is much more advanced than I am. That's because he can pick up a book every day and practice every day. His wife helps him. I don't have anybody to help me, and when I get stuck on something, I get fed up. I put it down and try to begin the next day. But I may not have the time for the next day. When my kids go to sleep, I'm ready to go to sleep. Or I might just want to sit up, look at a picture and relax my mind. It's real difficult.
W: So the difference between you and Mr. Mark is that he has more time and he has someone to help him?
M: Right, right.
W: Anything else that makes it different for him?
M: He doesn't have as much responsibilities as I do. He's older. I believe he's still working, but nothing like a full-time job. He doesn't have as many worries as I do. He has been where I'm trying to get. He may own his home already. And that's a big difference.
W: How do you know a book is harder or easier?
M: By the words. An easier book, I maybe could break down so many words in that book. A harder one, I can't break down maybe one or two. Then I know it's harder.
W: Does anything else make a book harder or easier?
M: I think it's like reading words where the print is not so fine. I hate books with small letters. It scares me. They are written down real small. But when they are bigger, and bigger letters I don't mean like capitals—I mean bigger letters. You can see more easily. I can see them better. I could go through it like that and see the words that I know. When they are in small print, I can't figure out the ones. I just have to read it to find if I can read it or not.

听力原文:Woman: I want to watch TV and improve my English. What is your favorite TV show?
Man: I like sitcoms. (8[A]) I watch "Friends" a lot. I never missed a single episode. Of course there are other sitcoms like "Wings," "Frazier,' "Family Ties". Those axe all very good.
Woman: What time do they come on?
Man: Mostly in the evenings. These are actually old shows, but NBC has re-runs of them. "Frazier" is on from 6:00 to 6:30 on NBC every day week days. "Friends" is from 6:30 to 7:30 PM, also on NBC. Channels like Nick-at-Nite show older sitcoms almost every night except Sundays.
Woman: What are the older sitcoms?
Man: "Cheers" is a good one. "All in the Family," "Three's Company," and "Family Ties" are all great ones. (9[C]) But they are usually shown very late at night, beginning from 10:00 PM until 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning.
Woman: Which ones are the movie channels?
Man: (10[B]) Channel 45 is Super-Station. That channel has a lot of good movies. TNT is channel 17. You can also find many movies on TNT. What's bothering me is the commercials. A two-hour movie can run three and half-hours because of the commercials. That's really annoying.
What sitcom does the man like best?

A. Friends.
B. Family Ties.
Cheers.
D. All in the Family.

听力原文:Theresa: How is your market research project going, Frank?
Frank: Very well actually, Theresa. I have just got the results of the survey back and so now I have got to draw some conclusions from the information I've collected.
Theresa: That's good. I'm still writing my questionnaire. In fact I'm starting to panic as the project deadline is in two weeks and I don't seem to be making any progress at all.
Frank: What is your topic?
Theresa: Forms of transportation in the city. What about you?
Frank: I've been finding out people's attitudes to the amount of violence on television.
Theresa: That's interesting. What do your results show?
Frank: Well, as I said I haven't finished writing my conclusions yet, but it seems most people think there is a problem. Unfortunately, no real agreement on the action that needs to be taken. Nearly everyone surveyed said that there was too much violence on TV. A lot of people complained that American police series and Chinese Kung Fu films were particularly violent. The main objection seems to be that although a lot of people get shot, stabbed, decapitated and so on, the films never show the consequences. People watching might take the heroes of these programs as real models and copy their behavior.
Theresa: So what did most people suggest should be done?
Frank: A lot of people are concerned about how these films affect children. They are particularly worried that children will try to behave like the stars. The survey shows that violent programs should only be broadcast after 10: 00 p. m. when most children are already in bed. There is also a significant minority of people who feel that violent films should be banned altogether.
Theresa: How did people feel about the violence on news broadcasts?
Frank: Most of the responses I have looked at have felt that violence on news broadcasts is more acceptable as it's real. Although it is unpleasant, it is important to keep in touch with reality. Still, many people thought that it would be better to restrict violent scenes to late evening.
Theresa: Your survey sounds very good. How many people filled it in?
Frank: I gave out 120 copies and I got 70 back.
Theresa: That's a very high rate of return. Who did you give your questionnaires to?
Frank: I gave a copy to every student in my hall of residence and a few to friends from other colleges.
Theresa: Don't you think that this will influence your results?
Frank: What do you mean?
Theresa: The people in your hall of residence will all be about the same age. They are all students, most of them studying similar subjects and from similar backgrounds. Therefore it is likely that they will have similar opinions. Your results represent student opinion not public opinion.
Frank: So how are you going to do your research?
Theresa: I'm going to interview my respondents in the shopping mall. What I'll do is ask people if they have five minutes to spare to answer a few questions. If they agree I will ask them some multiple-choice questions and tick off their answers on my sheet. That way I can select people of all ages and attitudes, so my sample should be reasonably representative.
Frank: Isn't it very difficult to ask meaningful questions using multiple choice?
Theresa: Yes, it is. I suppose your survey has the advantage of more detailed information. However, in most cases people won't bother to give answers that require too much effort on their part. The secret to writing a successful survey is to write simple multiple-choice questions that target the information you are looking for. Therefore, it is better to write

A. Get the results of the survey back.
B. Draw the results of the survey.
C. Make some conclusions.
D. Collect more information
