WOMAN: Certainly. Take a seat and I'll be right with you.
MAN: Thanks.
WOMAN: Now, where would you like to go in New Zealand?
MAN: Well, I was hoping to do a bit of traveling around, actually. There are a few things I'd like to see and do before I go back home.
WOMAN: Right.
MAN: One thing. I really want to do is go to Christchurch. I have relatives living there that I can stay with-my mother's cousin-and I've heard it's a nice place.
WOMAN: Yes, it's a lovely city. And staying with relatives will help with the budget, of course,
MAN: The budget?
WOMAN: It will save you some money.
MAN: Oh right! Well, I m not too worried about that. I've saved quite a bit of money working in Australia.
WOMAN: Oh, that's nice. Good for you! Well, you know that New Zealand consists of two main islands, the North Island and the South Island, and Christchurch is on the South Island.
MAN: Is it? I was never very good at geography at school! Do you have a map I could look at?
WOMAN: Sure! Here we are.
MAN: Right. I see. And... Well... then I'd also like to spend some time in Auckland. And maybe I could do an English language course there. Can you organize that sort of thing for me?
WOMAN: Certainly. We'd be happy to arrange that. But bear in mind that Auckland is in the Noah Island.
MAN: Ok. And I'd also like to do some skiing or maybe even some snowboarding. I hear New Zealand is a great place for that.
WOMAN: Yes, absolutely, but you should go to Auckland first for your studies, and then you can get the ferry across to the South Island and take the bus down to the snow.
MAN: Oh, I don't like boats Very much. I'm not much of a sailor. I think I'd prefer to fly.

听力原文:WOMAN: Welcome to this week's edition of "Frontiers of Science". The International Space Station—the ISS—is a floating laboratory, 350 km above the earth. But what exactly is it and who is behind it? To answer our questions, we are pleased to welcome Dr Karl Richter who is a specialist in this field.
MAN: Delighted robe here.
WOMAN: Dr. Richter, who is behind this venture?
MAN: The ISS is a joint venture between America, Russia, Japan, Canada, Brazil and the 15 nations of the Europe Space Agency.
WOMAN: So that's... 18, 19, 20 countries in all.
MAN: Yes, it is. Actually, it is the largest and most complex international scientific project in history.
WOMAN: Wow! And can you tell us how much it's going to cost?
MAN: Well, despite the fact that it was estimated to cost $120 billion, it has already gone 8 billion over budget, so now we're looking at 128 billion.
WOMAN: And what size will it be?
MAN: Well, it will measure 108 meters across by 88 meters long with almost half a hectare of solar panels powering six scientific labs.
WOMAN: Ok. So it's no small venture, is it? Now, I must ask you this question. What do they do about water on board?
MAN: Good-question! Well, nothing goes to waste, but hygiene in space is a complex affair. Because of the impracticality of transporting large amounts of liquid into space, they've come up with some ingenious solutions. For instance, everything on board, including the laboratory rats, loses water when it exhales or sweats. The humidity goes through condensation process before being returned to the water supply.
WOMAN: I see.
MAN: If they didn't reuse the water, the station would, need about 20,000 kg of water a year, which just couldn't be done.
WOMAN: Going back to the laboratories. What's happening there?
MAN: Well, we have teams of astronaut-scientists working in the labs and research will include, for example, tissue culture, studying life in low gravity, the nature of space, observations of the earth from space with a view to improving our maps, and the development of new commercial products;
WOMAN: I can't imagine what it must be like to live without gravity. Can you tell us about the life of astronauts there?
MAN: Sure...
