听力原文: When friends come to visit us in the evening, they spend their time telling us that they are in a hurry and looking at their watches. It isn't that our friends are all very busy, it is just that we haven't got a television. People think that we are very strange. "But what do you do in the evening?" They are always asking. The answer is simple. Both my wife and I have hobbies. We certainly don't spend our evening staring at the walls. My wife enjoys cooking and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign languages. This is particularly useful as we always go abroad for our holiday. I collect stamps and am always busy with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to music and playing chess together.

听力原文:W: Is there anything else we ought to discuss?
M: We haven't discussed heating yet. Do you like central heating?
W: Yes, but isn't it rather expensive? First costs, I mean--the furnace, and the boiler, all the pipes and radiators?
M: That depends on the system. An automatically controlled oil-burning system is rather expensive.
W: Electric fires are no cheaper. We have them in the bedrooms, and the electricity bills are always high at the end of the winter.
M: What about open fires?
W: I like to see a fire. But coal fires do make a lot of work and a lot of dust, too.
M: You may have a furnace in the kitchen, and a storage tank upstairs. A furnace that bums coke is much cheaper than one that bums oil. A good one would give you all the hot water you need for the kitchen and for baths, and enough for two radiators in the living room.
W: Oh, I know what you mean. They have to be filled twice a day, don't they?
M: Yes, and you have to clear out the ashes once a day.
W: How much does coke cost?
M: They bum three or four tons a year. I'm not sure how much coke costs now--about £ 20 a ton, perhaps.
W: That's t £11.25 or more a week--for all the hot water, and for heating the living room in winter. That's cheaper than any other system I know.
M: And very little work, too.
W: Great, let's do it.

M: What do you think about getting together and going out to dinner this weekend?
