W: Dr. Foley, the fact that you think highly enough of me to make the nomination is more than enough for ale. I'm really happy just to be nominated.
M: You deserve it. The selection committee will be calling you to set up an interview. Call me when they do, and I'll meet with you to give you some suggestions on how to prepare. If you get the award, you'll receive five hundred dollars along with the certificate of honor.
W: Thank you so much, Dr. Foley. I'm really honored.

B: Morning!
A: So Christine, I mean you must have been pretty surprised when you get the news you were carrying triplet, after already having identical twins at home, what should be the reaction?

A: Now so, your daughters are identical twins and your sons are identical triplet, is that right?

A: What about the boys? Are the same with the girls?
B: Oh, no, we haven't found anything with boys like that, We can't really totally tell them apart yet, so we mark on the bottoms of their feet now.

B: Show her our markers.

听力原文:W: How can I help you?
M: I'd like to return this sweater for a refund. I bought it a week ago.
W: Well, what seems to be the problem?
M: Isn't it obvious by just looking at it? The first time I washed and dried it, the thing shrank at least five sizes.
W: I see what you mean, but did you follow the washing instructions? I think it says here ... right here on the label to hand wash it and then to dry it on low heat.
M: How was I supposed to know that? The label is written in Chinese! And something else i The stitching is coming undone and the color faded from a nice dark blue to a seaweed green.
W: Listen, sir. What I can do is allow you to exchange the sweater for another one.
