听力原文:W: If I understand you correctly, Mr. Savage, you were driving well within the speed limit when you were stopped by the Police.
M: That's right. I always keep to the limit on Downside Road because there's a school slap on the corner of the first turning and I wouldn't want to run the risk of hitting one of the kids, now would I?
W: I'm afraid I do not know what you mean.
M: Well, I go by the speedometer, don't I? That's what a speedometer's for, isn't it, to tell you how fast you're going. I mean a machine can't lie, can it? People can, but not machines.
W: "Machines" as you call them are not necessarily in fallible(一贯正确的) guides, Mr. Savage. They sometimes go wrong. In any case according to the Police testimony you were driving at more than sixty miles an hour in such a manner as to cause a danger to the public. Weaving from side to side like a go-go dancer is what I think the Police Constable said.
M: Very funny, sir. Still, the steering wheel has been playing up a bit lately, I admit that. I said to my wife only the other day I'd better have it seen to, but she said she put if off till we went on holiday so...
W: Mr. Savage. Now, I understand that when the Police stopped you, you refused to take a breathalyzer test... Why was that?
M: Well, I hadn't been drinking, had I? Half a lager and at the Feathers—you must be joking.
W: It is not my habit to make jokes in court, Mr. Savage.

听力原文: Education is so important in the whole world. Every country takes a certain amount of money from tariffs. According to different countries, there are different strategies. Education is required and free for every child in the United States. Most children start by the age of six. They attend eight years of elementary school and four years of high school(or secondary school). The money for free public schools comes from taxes, and each state is responsible for its own educational system. State legislatures set the educational requirements but leave the management of the schools in the hands of the local 'communities. Most states require their children to go to school until a certain age. This age varies from 16 to 18 years according to the laws of the individual states. The Federal government contributes funds to the states for additional schools and school services.
After graduation from high school, a student can start his higher education in a two-year college, a four-year college, a university, or a specialized professional school either public or private. Most colleges admit students on the basis of their high-school records. Students work to help pay their college expenses. Only 2 percent of the population of the country cannot read and write.
During the whole life of a person, most of the time was spent in studying. And we should put our energy and youth to the valuable career. Study more and learn more.
