听力原文:M: Hello, Karen Williams speaking.
F: Hello, Karen, this is Alice Everett here.
M: Oh, hello, Mrs Everett. How are you?
F: Fine, thanks. Karen, the reason I am ringing is to sort out the arrangements for my visit to Liverpool next month. I'd like to go over the whole itinerary.
M: All right. I think I've got all the details as well as the travel arrangements.
F: OK, then we can start with 24th. What time shall I arrive at Liverpool?
M: Well, the plane arrives at 10:00 a.m.
F: That's good. When am I supposed to meet Mr Davis from Sunrise?
M: At about 11:00 to 11:30, I think. Then you have an lunch appointment with Mrs Rebecca from National Bank at 12:30.
F: Oh, I almost forgot about this. Is it correct that I only have one appointment in the afternoon ?
M: That's right, you have to sign an agreement with Mr McDonald from Ford at 3 o'clock. Then you'll be free in the evening. But you'll have to visit two factories on 25th before your return flight at 2:30 in the afternoon.

听力原文:M: Hello, could I speak to Karen, please?
W: Speaking.
M: Hi, Karen, it's Jack.
W: Hello, Jack. What's up?
M: A bunch of us are going to a new Thai restaurant for dinner tonight. How about coming with us?
W: I'd love to, but I have to prepare for my speech. I'll be the main talker in the classroom discussion tomorrow morning.
M: Oh, what a shame, maybe next time.
W: I'm so sorry.
M: Never mind. Are you afraid of making a speech?
W: I'm a little nervous indeed.
M: I hate to get up in front of many people. I often forget what to say and don't know where to put my hands.
W: Oh, it's not so serious as that. Someone might get frozen up for a while before the audience. But when you have made a start, you can carry on with what you've prepared, and your performance won't be too bad.
M: Yes. There is something I should learn from you, you know, self-confidence. By the way, how have you prepared your speech?
W: Not very well, I'm afraid. I didn't write every word of the speech, I just have an outline of about 80 words.
M: Are you sure you can do the presentation well only depending on a rough draft of the main ideas?
W: Yes, almost. You know, the speech is about my personal experience in learning spoken English. I'm going to talk on the most familiar topic to my classmates. I'm not afraid of anything. The key problem is how to compose the speech with a reasonable flow.
M: You're wonderful! I hope you succeed in tomorrow's public speaking.
W: Thanks a lot.

听力原文:M: Hey, Karen, you are not really reading it, are you?
W: Pardon?
M: The book! You haven’t turned the page in the last ten minutes.
W: No, Jim, I suppose I haven’t. I need to get through, but I keep drifting away.
M: So it doesn’t really hold your interest?
W: No, not really. I wouldn’t bother with it, to be honest, but I have to read it for a seminar. I’m at a university.
M: It’s a labor of labor then rather than a labor of love.
W: I should say, I don’t like Dickens at all really, the author, indeed. I am starting to like the whole course less and less.
M: It’s not just the book. It’s the course as well?
W: Yeah, in a way, although the course itself isn’t really that bad, a lot of it is pretty good, in fact, and the lecturers are fine. It’s me, I suppose. You see, I want to do philosophy rather than English, but my parents took me out of it.
M: So the courses are OK as such. You would choose a different one.
W: Oh, they had my best interest in mind. It’s hard, of course. My parents, they always do, don’t they? They believe that my job prospect would be pretty limited with the degree of philosophy. Perhaps they give me a really generous allowance, but I am beginning to feel that I’m wasting my time and their money. They would be so disappointed if I told them I was quitting.
