听力原文:M: It looks like we are going to have a shower at any minute now.
W: I think so too. Isn't it strange how you can sense it?
M: I know what you mean.
W: Look at the clouds in the sky. Whenever they seem dark and low like this, you know it's going to rain, or look at the object that's far away, if it seems clear to you, it's probably going to pour.
M: Yes, and everything seems to have a strange smell to me then.
W: I know, and people often say it's going to rain when they have aches or pains in certain parts of their body. My mother always complains that her knee hurts just before a storm.
M: And have you noticed how the animals act before a storm?
W: Sure, horses and cows will seem to go to a protected area and huddle together.
M: Yeah, but with all these sensible signs, how come we aren't carrying our umbrella with us now?

M: I'm sorry about that, madam. What's the matter?
W: Well, frankly, the state of decoration is appalling ...
M: Ah, yes, madam. That room is due to be redecorated next week.
W: Also, the window won't open ...
M: Won't it, madam? I'll get George to come and look at it.
W: ... and I can't get any hot water in the shower.
M: Ah, perhaps you didn't run the water long enough, madam.
W: I ran it for four or five minutes. That should be long enough.
M: George ... George ... Hart, will you go up to room 43 ... and check the shower and see if you can open the window ...
W: Look, I'm sorry but I'd like another room.
M: Shall we see if we can sort out these little difficulties first, madam?
W: As far as room 43 is concerned, I don't mind what you do, but I want a clean room, in reasonable decorative order, with windows that open and a shower that works.
M: Let me see ... I can let you have a double room, madam.
W: I don't want a double room. I want a single room.
M: I'm sorry, madam, but I'm afraid 43 is the only single room available at the moment. However, I could have a word with the manager when he comes in.
W: I think you'd better.

听力原文:W: Hello.
M: Hi, Sarah, this is Mike.
W: Great to hear from you Mike! How have you been doing these days?
M: To tell you the truth, I'm very worried about our final examinations next month. For one thing, I'm suffering from insomnia. I can't fall asleep, even after I've swallowed some sleeping pills.
W: I sympathize! I went through the same thing last year.
M: That's exactly why I'm calling you. Do you have any suggestions for coping with anxiety? You know how I hate exams!
W: Well, take a walk or have a shower before you go to sleep.
M: I have tried. All seems to be of no use.
W: OK. I know, last year the university offered a stress-management course at about this time. Have you been in contact with the student health services?
M: No, I have always been pressed for time!
W: Funny, isn't it? Just when students need help most, we can't afford the time to get it!
M: Well, perhaps I should find out more about this stress-management course. Things have got to get better!
W: I suggest you call the health services tomorrow. They open at nine a. m.
M: Thanks, Sarah. I'll let you know how it goes.
W: Best of luck! And have a good night's sleep!
M: That's easier said than done! Thank you just the same.

听力原文:M: Hi, Jenny. Come on in.
W: Yeah, I stopped by to see if you were still looking for a roommate to share your house.
M: Yeap. I sure am. Ever since I cut back on my working hours to go to school, I've been really strapped for cash.
W: Oh.
M: Hey, let me show you the place. Uh, here's the living room.
W: Oh. It looks like you could use a new carpet...and those stains?
M, Well. I've had a few problems with some former roommates. I know it needs to be cleaned, but I just don't have the money to do it right now.
W: Oh. And what about the kitchen?
M: Right this way. Look. It's completely furnished with all the latest appliances, except...
W: What?
M: Well, the refrigerator door is broken...a little bit...and it won't shut all the way. It needs fixing, but don't worry. I've just found a good way by pushing a box against it to keep it shut.
W: Hmm. Great.
M: Ah. It isn't that bad.
W: Well, how about the bathroom?
M: Well...
W: No, no. Don't tell me. The toilet is clogged or the sink has a few leaks.
M: No, those work fine, but, uh, the tile in the shower needs to be replaced, and the window needs fixing.
W: Let me see. The tile...what? The window? Where's the window pane?
M: Well, that's another slight problem. Pre put up a piece of cardboard to keep out the rain and snow, and if it gets a little cold, you can always turn up the heat. Well, you used to until the central heating went out.
W: Hey, I think I've seen enough. I can't believe you've survived under these conditions.
M: So, what do you think? You really can't beat a place like this for $450 a month. So it has its problems, but we can fix those.
W: Uh, no, thank you. I think I've seen enough.
