听力原文: Yoga becomes very popular nowadays, but it is important that we understand a few facts about it. First of all, it is not a religion. Yoga is a way of life and can serve only to improve your present way of life. Yoga is an exact science and a delicate art. Secondly, be as mechanical as possible. Never strain or pull too much. Forcing will cause your body to resist and will actually slow down or even prevent your progress. Go gently. Stretch up to the point where it would start to hurt, then stop immediately. The key is the proper breathing through the nostrils with the mouth shut. Usually it is best to practise alone in a room with fresh air, wearing little or no clothing. Never practise on a full stomach because an empty stomach permits greater flexibility. Exercise will benefit your general health. Yoga cannot add or reduce pounds from your figure; only eating less or more food can do that. Always remember that diet affects weight, while exercise affects shape. Neither can do the job of the other.

听力原文:M: Good morning. Robert Creighton speaking.
W: Good morning. My name's Julian Harris and I have a friend in Spain who's interested in applying for a place at one of the colleges. There are one or two questions which she'd like me to ask you.
M: Go ahead !
W: Thanks. The first one is: what language is used for normal lessons?
M: Well, the main language of instruction in all the colleges is English. But at Pacific College in Canada some subjects are taught in French, and at the College of the Adriatic some may be taught in Italian.
W: Right. Her next question is about fees. Is it expensive to go to one of the colleges?
M: Students' parents don't have to be rich, if that's what you mean. There are scholarships for all colleges, but we do ask parents to help by paying what they can afford.
W: Good, she'll be glad to hear that. Now she wants to know something about getting into a college. Does she have to get high marks in her examinations?
M: Ah, yes, well she will have to do well, but academic ability is not the only thing that's important. We also look at personal qualities.
W: What sort of things do you mean?
M: Maturity, the ability to get on well with people from different countries, that sort of thing.
W: Of course. I understand what you mean. Her last question is about her other interests. Can she do painting and modern dancing, for example?
M: Yes, probably. It depends on the staff at the college she enters. Each college has its own special activities, such as theatre studies or environmental work, in which students can take part.
W: Good. I think that's all. Thank you very much for your help.
M: You're welcome. I hope your friend sends in an application.
