听力原文：M: Oh, hello, Li Ping. Come on in, and how've you been keeping recently？
W: Quite all right, thanks, Dr. Francis. How's your project going？
M: Very smoothly, I should say. I'm playing a consultancy role, really. I've only been here a month, but I'm already on very good terms with my colleagues in the Department of Computer Science. Well, I'm happy that you could come. Please sit down.
W: Dr. Francis, do you know I've got a chance to go to Cambridge in August？ I wonder if you could tell me something about Britain.
M: Certainly. Well, I was actually brought up in Scotland. Er, in fact, I've never been to Cambridge. But well.., yes, I'm sure I can give you some useful tips. Now, what do you want to know, Li Ping？
W: Things like weather. What's the usual temperature there？
M: Mmm, the temperature in Scotland is 22, or 23 degrees Centigrade, on average, I think. But Cambridge would be warmer, around 25, I would guess, because it's down south.
W: Oh, that's nice. Do you know it is 34 here？ Last year it reached 39. By the way, where do you think I should stay？
M: Oh, that's important. You can, er... I suppose, stay in the college-owned flats, which are often near where you have your classes, and some are even on the campus. That would certainly be convenient.
W: Yes, it would.
M: But it can also be a disadvantage because you are, in a sense, separated from ordinary society. You're a language teacher, and I think learning from society is a valuable experience.
W: Yes, yes, exactly, so what's the alternative？
M: Maybe finding an English host family. I know of a student Ali from the Middle East. He told me that he had learnt a lot by staying with a British family.
W: Thank you. I think it's quite a good suggestion. By the way, Dr. Francis, do you think I could...
What is Dr. Francis？

听力原文： Education is compulsory and free for every child in America. Most children start school by the age of six. They attend eight years of elementary school and four years of high school, The money for free public schools comes from taxes, and every state is responsible for its own educational system. State legislatures set the educational requirement but leave the management of the schools in the hands of the local communities. Most states require their children to go to school until a certain age. This age varies from 16 to 18 years, according to the laws of the individual states. The Federal government contributes funds to the states for additional schools and school services.
After graduation from high school, a student can start his higher education in a two-year college or university. The cost of a college education is expensive in private universities, but it is much cheaper in those supported by states and cities. Many students receive scholarships from the schools, the government or private foundations. More than 50 percent of college students work to help pay their college expenses.

听力原文：M: Sally, come downstairs, please. Look at this job advertisement.
W: (from a distance) I'm coming. Walt a moment. (nearer) Eric, I'm here. What's the matter？
M: Look, Sally. Here's a job advertisement. "Start a new life with Exco Exports Ltd. as personal assistant to our managing director!" Perhaps it's the job you want.
W: Personal assistant to the managing director？ Yes, it is! Eric, would you like to read it for me？
M: It's my pleasure! Now, listen--"We will give the right person ￡ 3,500 pa for a 45-hour week, free training, the chance to join a pension scheme, 3 weeks' holiday per year and a company car! Canteen facilities are also available."
W: It sounds not so good. Only ￡ 3,500 every year. I think the salary is fairly low. The working hours seem too long, you see, a 45-hour week. Oh, my dear! And the holidays are short too, only 3 weeks.
M: But you're interested in this type of job. Since you have no job now, you can treat it as one of your choices.
W: Hm, you are right. OK, I'll write down the address. Eric, please repeat it to me.
M: "Box 4032, London".
W: Good, the company's in London. I don't want to work out of this city.
M: Look, there is another point maybe you will be attracted by.
W: Yes. Ah, just now, auntie Jenny called me.
M: Really？ What did she say？
W: She told me there's a job opening for a secretarial position in her company. She asked me to apply for it.
M: Sounds good. Would you like to try？
W: I am interested in the work, but you know, her company is in the city of Edinburgh. So I thanked her and wrote down the address only.
M: How kind she is!
W: Yes, she is very kind... Oh, she invited us to her villa to attend her birthday party this Saturday.
M: Sure we are going to attend it. But what present should we take？ How about a bottle of wine, or...
W: Eric! Look, here's another job advertisement.
M: What is it？
W: Listen: "Join one of the world's fastest growing companies: Exco Imports Lid."
M: How about the work？
W: (go on) "We are looking for a personal assistant to help our managing director."
M: Another personal assistant to the managing director.
W: "We can offer: ￡6,500 pa, 6 weeks' holiday, and a 35-hour week! And we have a supersocial club, too! Interested？" Yes! I am interested!
M: Where is the company？
W: "Ring Carrie Jones on 01 734 6387 Now？ It's in London. Oh, Eric, I am so happy. It's the right job I want.
M: It seems everything is wonderful.
