听力原文:W: How do you go to work every day, by bike or by bus?
M: By bike, of course.
W: Why don't you take the bus? Obviously it can save much time and energy.
M: I find it hard to agree with you. Sometimes if the bus is stuck in a traffic jam, it will waste much time instead of saving it.
W: Maybe you are right, but what if it was raining or storming? Will you still ride on your bicycle to your office?
M: Well, it all depends. If time permits, I will keep my habit and go to work by bike. But if time is pressing, I may choose the bus-ride, which is the last thing I'd like to do.
W: I can't make out why you hate the bus-fide so much.
M: Well, indeed, what bothers me the most is not the occasional traffic jam as I mentioned before, but the rode people with their rough behavior. on the bus.
W: I don't get it.
M: Every time I have to go to work by bus, it turns out to be a terrible experience. If worse comes to worst, you may find yourself on an overcrowded bus with no order, and in a near-riot. I'm not exaggerating.
W: I see what you mean. I'm sorry for you.
M: During rush hours you have to fight your way in, and fight your way out when you get off.
W: How terrible!
M: By the way, how do you go to work? I'm curious.
W: Well, I have a car of my own, so I neither take the bus nor ride the bike.
M: No wonder!

The do-it -yourself shop is a curious establishment. In it you can find anything from the tiniest screw to a self-assembly greenhouse. There is paint, glue, oil and wire for all purposes. There are tiles, selves, carpets and pipes of all shapes and sizes. You can even buy a complete bathroom suite in the larger self-service stores.
Today there is much more leisure time and, in many cases, much less money available. Do-it-yourself has become a money-saving hobby. It is no wonder that fewer tradesmen make a living from private homes. Pipes can be joined together by pushing, paint that can be rolled on doesn't drip, and holes can be drilled at the press of a button. Anyone can do it! Well, almost!

B.There are many books magazines and manuals on the subject.
C.It is easy to find the right tools and materials nowadays..

W: Certainly. Please fill out this card. Do you have any identification which shows your new address? I need to see something that verifies that you are a resident of the country.
M: How long will it take for me to get my new card?
W: Not long. We'll process your application and mall you your new card in about a week. In the meantime, you can have this temporary card which you may use exactly as a regular card.
M: You mean I can use it today to borrow books?
W: Yes. Are you familiar with our system?
M: I'm afraid not.
W: Well, we use a computerized system and you see those desk-top computer terminals over there? There are about a dozen of them throughout the library. We use them to locate our books. Come on. I'll show you how to use it.
M: I hope I don't have to have the skills of a computer programmer to be able to use it. All I want to do is to borrow some books.
W: It's easy. You can know the name of the book, the name of the author, or the subject. Let's try one as an example.

W: Yes you did. It's seat 32C on the aisle.
M: Miss, this is my first flight. I wonder if you could show me the ropes?
W: Don't be embarrassed! Every one has to make their first flight sometime. I'd be glad to. That's what we are here for.
M: Thanks, I don't even know how to find my seat.

W: Hello there. How are you doing?
M: Fine so far, but my ears feel a little funny.
W: That's the air pressure. You'll get used to it in a while.
M: Can I unfasten my seat belt now?
W: As soon as the light above your seat goes off, you can get up and walk around.
M: Will there be a movie?
W: Yes, but not until after we have served dinner.
M: Will that be soon?
W: Yes, right away. You must be hungry.
M: Not very, but I would like a drink, please.
W: I'll bring you one. Would you like a coke, beer, wine ....
M: Just water please.
W: Would you like to see a magazine?
M: Yes, I like to look at Newsweek please and could you tell me where to find the restroom?

W: Have you ever been to the main library?
M: Yes, I've found a few useful books there, but the reference librarian at the main library suggested that the library here at the graduate school have more specialized materials.
W: Okay. It depends on what you want. We do subscribe to a large number of journals. Since you're working on such a broad topic you'll probably have to do a lot of digging.
M: Do you think I can get something relevant here?
W: It may take some time, but you'll be able to find many articles relevant to your topic. We also have quite a few newspapers on microfilm.
M: I think I've come to the right place. How can I find out which journals you have?
W: There's a list of all of them. But if you want to search by author or by subject you can use one of the computers over there. Everything we have is in there.
M: What if I run across a reference to a research study that isn't available here?
W: You can request any outside materials just by typing your request into the computer.
M: You mean you can get materials from other universities?
