【答案解析】[听力原文] M: It looks like we'll be in the same biology class. I'm going to miss the first day because I won't be back from vacation yet, so I'll ask you for the lecture notes. W: But you can't miss the first day! Attendance is mandatory on the first day. M: Oh, I don't agree with that. It will be all fight. That policy is unfair anyway. W: It's not unfair! The instructor has the right to set the attendance policy, and the right to kick you out of class if you don't follow it. The way I look at it, if the instructor has to be there every day, then so should the students. That seems fair to me. M: Oh, but the students can read and study on their own. It's not important to go to class. The only thing that's important is the examinations. W: I disagree. I think it's important to participate in class. That's an important part of learning. M: But you can learn what you need to know by studying on your own! W: But how do you know you won't miss something important? You can't always understand everything on your own. That's why you need to go to class. And that's why there's an attendance policy.
