SECTION A CONVERSATIONS
Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文：W: Hi, Tom. How's your chemistry paper going？
M: It's coming along. But I've been staring at this computer screen for hours and my eyes hurt.
W: Yeah, doing that can make your eyes feel really dry and tired. You should take a break.
M: I can't. I have to get this paper written. It's due tomorrow.
W: You know, I read about computers and eye problems recently. The article says that they are usually caused by not blinking your eyes enough.
M: Blinking？ I thought I just needed new glasses.
W: Nay. When you blink, the movement of closing and opening your eyes, even thought it happens really fast, helps moisten your eyes. It's the lack of moisture that causes the problem.
M: Oh, that makes sense. But what does it have to do with the computer？
W: People who use computers tend to stare at the monitor and blink less often than they normally would. That leads to dry irritated eyes.
M: Well, that certainly helped mine feel now. They really hurt.
W: The article I read about office workers found that the workers averaged 22 blinks a minute when relax, but just 7 a minute while looking at text on a computer screen.
M: Wow, that's quite a difference.
W: They also kept their eyes open wider, which means that moisture evaporated more quickly.
M: I wonder if using some kind of eye drops would make them feel better.
W: That might help. But the best prescription is to take a break and rest your eyes.
M: Ok. Let's go and get some coffee. I can finish this later tonight.
Why is blinking important？
听力原文： The fantasy epic "The Lord of the Rings" led the Academy Award field Tuesday with 13 nominations --best picture, director and supporting actor among them. Other best-picture nominees were "A Beautiful Mind"; and "Moulin Rouge," a tragicomic musical set in 1899 Paris. "A Beautiful Mind" and "Moulin Rouge" were tied for second place with eight nominations each. The film with the most nominations often wins best picture on Oscar night. But many of the nominations for "Lord of the Rings" were for technical achievements such as visual effects, sound, costume design and editing. A sprawling fantasy adventure has never won top Oscar honors, so "Lord of the Rings" could come away with the most trophies while missing out on best picture.
According to the news, which of the following nominations has "The Lord of the Rings" NOT got？
According to the professor, what determines the distance of a gross—hopper's jump？
听力原文：W: Hi, Bob. How is your oral presentation coming along？
M: What oral presentation？ I don't have to give mine until the end of the next week.
W: You mean you haven't even started working on it yet？
M: No. I need the pressure of a deadline to get inspired.
W: Gee. I'm just the opposite. I can't Concentrate unless I know I have plenty of time. Besides I have a big physics test next Week so I want to get my presentation out of the way.
M: What's your presentation on？
W: William Carlos Williams.
M: Wasn't he a poet？ I thought we were supposed to focus on a short story.
W: He wrote short stories, do you know？
M: Really？ I never knew that I guess I'll learn more on Tuesday. Is that when you are supposed to talk？
W: Uh-huh. But I was going to offer you sneak preview. I'm looking for someone to tell me whether I'm talking to fast and whether you can follow what I'm saying.
M: I guess I could do that. When were you thinking of？
W: Will tonight be all right？ I have a class to go to now but I'll be around after dinner.
M: That sounds good. I'll stop by your room. It's probably quieter there than in my hall.
