听力原文:W: Hello, Steve?
M: Hi, Veronica. What's going on?
W: Oh, my car's having problems again, but I don't have the time or the money to get it fixed.
M: Is it really bad?
W: It's starting to overheat whenever I'm idling or in heavy traffic, and two days ago I had to pull off the expressway and wait until the engine cooled down.
M: Have you taken it into a shop?
W: Well, I went to two different places yesterday; one mechanic said he'd check the coolant level and look for fluid leaks; the other guy said he thought it was the thermostat. I didn't leave the car with either of them, though, because I didn't have a ride back.
M: What are you going to do?
W: I really don't know. I'll have to figure out something; the bus service is terrible around where I five. Anyway, could I ask you for a favor?
M: Of course, what is it?
W: You know, tomorrow's Monday and we're supposed to turn in our homework in English, but I've only gotten halfway through it — I've just been too busy. If I came over, would you help me finish it?
M: Sure, I'll be here all evening. And actually I haven't finished the homework either; I've just been putting it off, so it's good you're coming over — I need someone to motivate me.
W: Thank you so much, Steve. It's so nice of you. See you later.

听力原文:M: As a teacher, can you give us some idea on how the English school system works?
W: First of all, most children start school at the age of five and they can't leave school until the age of sixteen. But now we have a new system where children aren't divided off at the age of eleven, instead, they could take the exams at the age of sixteen.
M: Do you think that's an improvement to the system?
W: Well ,it's supposed to be much better because it stops separating children at the age of eleven and gives them a better chance. In fact, what usually happens is that those children who would have gone to a grammar school tend to be at the top end of the comprehensive system and those that would have gone to secondary modern school find themselves at lower levels of the school.
M: Do you think that the present school system is an efficient way of educating children?
W: Of course one of our great problems in England is that we have very large classes and it would be very nice if we could reduce them by at least half.
M: Do you think the subjects that children study are adapted to present-day society?
W: It would be very good if more children at school had the opportunity of learning about the society they live in economic terms and in social terms. So that they are much more aware of the problems that we face today.
