听力原文:W: Professor Wilson, can you spare me a few minutes?
M: That's OK. Actually, I'm on my way to an appointment with students, so please make this quick.
W: My name is Maria Taylor, and I'm in your Psychology class at 2:00.
M: Oh, yes. I recall now. You always ask good questions about the lectures. What can I do for you now?
W: You say in your lecture last week that IQ changes little from childhood, but the skills of emotional intelligence can be learned at any age.
M: Right, it's not easy, however. You know, growing your emotional intelligence takes practice and commitment and improving your emotional intelligence takes time, say, several months.
W: Why do you say improving an emotional intelligence takes months rather than days?
M: Well, you know, the emotional centers of the brain are involved.
W: The emotional centers of the brain?
M: Yes. The thinking brain learns technical skills and purely cognitive abilities. It gains knowledge very quickly, but the emotional brain does not.
W: Why?
M: Because to master a new behavior, the emotional centers need repetition and practice.
W: So it takes time.
M: Yes. Improving your emotional intelligence, then, is similar to changing your habits. You have to change your old habits and replace them with the new ones.
W: Oh, I see. And another question I want to ask you is. can we say emo tional intelligence is the opposite of IQ?
M: No. You know some people are blessed with a lot of both while some with little of either. What we are doing now is trying to find out how they complement each other.

听力原文:Keith: I hope you don't mind me interrupting you, Mr Bristow. Could you possibly spare me a few minutes?
Bristow: Can't it wait till this afternoon, Keith?
Keith: Well, it is rather urgent ...
Bristow: I see. It may be better to deal with it now, then. I may not have time after lunch. I'm going out with a customer and I might have to go on to his factory and not be back till late. Let's have it, then. What's the problem?
Keith: I've not been here very long, Mr Bristow, so I may be making a fool of myself. Accountants can make mistakes, I know, like anyone else, but ...
Bristow: All right, Keith. Get to the point.
Keith: It's this, Mr Bristow. I've been checking through the accounts over the past two years and I've reason to believe that someone may have been embezzling the firm's money. I can't prove the case yet in detail but I think there's enough evidence for you to look into it.
Bristow: That's a very serious charge. But go on.
Keith: What drew my attention to it was that Mr Hammond, the Works Manager, was complaining the other day that he could never get hold of enough spare parts. As you know, Mr Cross, the Purchasing Manager, has been off sick all this week, so Mr Hammond asked me to check on the stocks on what had been ordered.
Bristow: Quite right. Yes.
Keith: I found we've been ordering far more spare parts than we need for a long time. When I showed Mr Hammond the figure, he couldn't believe his eyes. He said we couldn't have been using such large quantities, and what's more, we'd been paying well over the market price for them. I checked over the last eighteen months and was able to discover what had been going on. The extra orders and higher prices were only for items we'd ordered from Holder
and Bragg. But of course they're our main suppliers. I thought I might have made a mistake, but Mr Hammond couldn't understand it. He said you might be able to throw light on it.
Bristow: Can I see the figures? Hmm. Yes, there's no doubt the orders seem excessive. Let's take gear wheels as an example. We can't have been paying that much for them. Of course Cross may have over-ordered when he first came here two years ago, just to be on the safe side, but he can't have gone on doing that every month ...
Keith: And even then it doesn't explain the shortage, does it, Mr Bristow? There are very few of these items in the store. Perhaps there is a logical explanation, but...
Bristow: There maybe, but I can't think of one. I can hardly believe it of Cross. But can there be any other explanation, apart from the obvious one? And now that I think of it, someone said Cross was doing some part-time work as a consultant to a spare Parts firm. If it was Holder and Bragg ...
Keith: It may sound a bit presumptuous of me, Mr Bristow, but what I still can't understand is how my predecessor, Mr Lawton, didn't spot it. If he had been any good as an accountant, surely he would have realized that the figures were strange?
Bristow: That's the piece I needed to fit the puzzle together. Lawton is Cross's brother-in-law. In fact he recommended Cross to us. He must have been part of the swindle. Cross couldn't have got away with it, otherwise.
Keith: I know Mr Cross. has been in poor health recently.
Bristow: He may be ill, but that doesn't justify any of this. How long's he been off sick?
Keith: Since the beginning of the week. His secretary said he might be back tomorrow.
Bristow: Hm. Well, if you're right, as I think you are, he'll feel a lot sicker when we get to the bottom of this affair. Well done, anyway. Cross may be back tomorrow. That'll

听力原文:W: (22)I don't know if we'll be able to spare a whole day at the Oceam Park We've only got four days in Hong Kong, remember?
M: Oh, right, well, in that case. I'd advise you to get there early. (22)It opens at 10 o'clock in the morning on weekends. Look, I think I've got a plan of the place somewhere. Let me see.., yes, here we are. You can have this.
W: Thanks.
M: OK, I'll show you. Let's start with the lower level. See? Here? You arrive by taxi or bus or whatever here, on the right, can you see? That's the bus terminal. And you go ill through the main entrance. (23)You could go to the Water World first but I think you'd better skip that as you're short of time.
W: I can see the cable cars.
M: OK, walk past the cable car terminal, at tile bottom of the plan, (24)and bear right past the Waterfall Gardens. Actually, have a look in, there are ducks and other birds in the pool there--it's very pretty. Then you'll see some steps up on the left. Follow that path and you'll come to tile Centenary Garden which is a good place to stop and take pictures if you've got your camera.
W: What's the next place?
M: Then carry on until you're almost at the Children Zoo. It takes quite a long time to walk around. But I do recommend the "touch and feed" section opposite, as I said. (25)The Fun Fair is very interesting, but it's great fun for older children.

A.The Waterfall Garden.
B.The theatre.
C.The Water World.
