听力原文: Some students at the Open University left school 20 years ago. Others are younger but all must be at least 21 years old. This is one example of how the Open University is different from all other universities. Its students must either work full-time or be at home all day, for instance, mothers of families. They do not have to pass any examinations before they are accepted as students. This is why the university is called "open". The university vas started in order to help a known group—people who missed having a university education when they were young.
The first name for the Open University was "The University of the Air". The idea was to teach "on the air", in other words, on radio and television. Most of the teaching is done like this. Radio and television have brought the classroom into people's homes. But this, on its own, is not enough for a university education. The Open University student also received advice at one of the 283 study centers in the country. In 36 weeks of the year he has to send written work to a "tutor", the person who guides his studies. He must also spend 3 weeks every summer as a full-time student. Tutors and students meet and study together, as in other universities. At the end of the Open University's first year, the results were good. Three out of every 4 students passed their examinations. If they do this every year, they will finish their studies in 4 or 5 years.

听力原文:M: Hello, 24th Precinct. Officer Jones speaking.
W: Help. Yeah, uh, it was wild, I mean really unusual.
M: Calm down! Now, what do you want to report?
W: Well, I'd like to report a UFO sighting.
M: A what?
W: What do you mean "what"? An unidentified flying object!
M: Wait, tell me exactly what you saw.
W: Well, I was driving home from a party about three hours ago, so it was about 2:00 a.m., when I saw this bright light overhead.
M: Okay. And then what happened?
W: Oh, man. Well, it was out of this world. I stopped to watch the light when it disappeared behind a hill about a kilometer ahead of me.
M: Alright. Then what?
W: Well, I got back in my car and started driving toward where the UFO landed.
M: Now, how do you know it was a UFO? Perhaps you only saw the lights of an airplane, or the headlights of an approaching car. Things like that happen, you know.
W: Well, if it was that, how do you explain "the BEAST"?
M: What do you mean "the BEAST"?
W: Okay. I kept driving for about five minutes when all of a sudden, this giant, hairy creature jumped out in front of my car.
M: Oh, yeah. Then what?
W: Well, then, the beast picked up the front of my car and said, "Get out of the car. I'm taking you to my master!" Something like that.
M: Wow? A hairy creature who can speak English! Come on!
W: I'm not making this up. Then, when I didn't get out of the car, the beast opened the car door, carried me on his shoulder to this round-shaped flying saucer, and well, that's when I woke up along the roadside. The beast must have knocked me out and left me there.
M: Well, that's the best story I've heard all night. Now, have you been taking any medicine, drugs, or alcohol in the last 24 hours? You mentioned you went to a party.
W: What? Well, I did have a few beers, but I'm telling the truth.
M: Okay, okay. We have a great doctor who deals with THESE kinds of cases.
W: I'm not crazy.
M: Well, we'll look into your story. Thank you.
