听力原文： A recent report has shown that here in the United States, we've experienced the revolution concerning our attitudes towards the work week and weekend. Although some calendars still mark the beginning of the week "Sunday", more and more of us are coming to regard Monday as the first day of the week with Saturday and Sunday comprising the two-day periods thought of as the weekend. In fact, the word "weekend" didn't even exist in English until about the middle of the last century. In England at that time, Saturday afternoons had just been added to Sundays and holidays as a time for workers to have off from their jobs. This innovation became common in the United States in the 1920s. But as the work weak shortened during the Great Depression of 1930s, the weekend expanded to 2 full days, Saturday and Sunday. Some people thought this trend would continue due to increasing automation and the work week might decrease to 4 days or even fewer. But so far, this hasn't happened. The work week seems to have stabilized at 40 hours made up of 5 eight-hour days. After this commercial, I'll be back to talk about the idea of adding Monday to the weekend.

听力原文：M: Hi, I've been looking for you since the morning. Where have you been？
W: Yeah, I don't feel like hanging out with the crowd any more, especially since Jane stopped coming to school.
M: It's such a pity about her parents; losing one parent is bad enough, but losing them both on the same day and in such an accident...It's terrible! Have you seen her since？
W: No. I tried talking to her on the phone. But she refused to talk. She's quite down.
M: The other day, I talked to Mr. Smith—you know that tall guy who works in the Dean's Office. Apparently, Jane is thinking of dropping out of school. She has almost no money. Her parents didn't have much savings.
W: Yeah, I've been quite worried about her. But simply feeling sorry for her is far from enough; we have to think of some way to help her. Have any suggestion？
M: Well, I could possibly give her some money. I've saved some up from my part-time job.
W: You're so generous! But that wouldn't be a long-term solution.
M: That's true. Perhaps we could help her find a part-time job.
W: Good idea! The lady who runs the shop next to my door could be helpful. If Jane is interested, I can introduce her to the lady.
M: Great! Once she gets a regular income, things will be better. More than anything else, it will take her mind off her tragedy.
W: Could we organize a fund-raiser for her？
M: Well, I'm not sure how that would work. You know, talking help from us is one thing, but getting the whole school involved may not be a good idea.
W: Yeah, you're right. We'll think of something else. OK, let's go ahead with what we've planned. Bye.
M: Bye.
