【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: How are you today, Mary?
W: Not very well, John. I think I"ll stay at home today and rest.
M: That"s a good idea. I think you"ve been knocking yourself out day and night on that research project. And I"m happy that you had finally handed in your report on tourism yesterday. You really could do with a rest. Well, is there anything I can do for you now?
W: Yes, there is. Actually, it"s very cold here. Would you mind turning the air-conditioner off and opening the window?
M: Not at all. There we are. Do you feel hungry? Shall I make you something to eat?
W: No, thanks. But I do feel quite thirsty. Could you bring me some water, please?
M: Sure. Anything else"?
W: Well, there are a couple of things that I have to do today. But I don"t really want to go outside.
M: No, you should stay in bed. I"ll do them for you. What are they?
W: The book I borrowed from the library has to go back today, and I was going to post the letters I wrote yesterday.
M: Don"t worry. I"ll take the books back to the library, and post the letters on the way.
W: That"s very kind of you, John.
M: Can I get you anything from outside?
W: Well, a newspaper would be nice, and some magazines. If I"m going to be in bed all day, I"d like to have something to read.
M: OK, I"ll pick those up for you on the way back from the library. Meanwhile, why don"t you try to get some sleep?
W: Yes, I will. Thanks, John.
