听力题W: I usually advise first-year engineering students to take mathematics, chemistry, and an introductory engineering course the first quarter. M: Oh. That''s only three classes. W: Yes. But I''m sure that you''ll be busy. They''re all five-hour courses, and you''ll have to meet each class every day. The chemistry course has an additional two-hour laboratory. So that would be seventeen hours of class a week. W: That''s right. M: Okay. Which mathematics course do you think that I should take? W: Have you taken very much math in high school? M: Four years. I had algebra, geometry, trigonometry. W: Good. Then I suggest that you take the math placement test. It''s offered this Friday at nine o''clock in the morning in Tower Auditorium. M: Do I need anything to be admitted? I mean a permission slip? W: No. Just identification. A driver''s license will be fine. M: Do I take a chemistry test too? W: No. Chemistry 100 is designed for students who have never taken a chemistry course, and Chemistry 200 is for students who have had chemistry in high school. M: I''ve had two courses. W: Then you should take Chemistry 200, Orientation to Engineering and either Mathematics 130 or 135, depending on the results of your placement test. Come back Friday afternoon. I should have your score on the test by then and we can get you registered.

听力题 Cottonville is a new prison specially designed for women criminals in Scotland. The 226 prisoners there live in small units of 7 rooms. There is a kitchen where they cook their own meals and a lounge for the fitted carpet and armchairs. The "wake up, wake up" call by loudspeakers at 7:00 every morning is followed by a music program which creates atmosphere of a holiday camp. During the day, most of the prisoners are employed by 3 workshops, making toys or clothing. Their earnings up to 90 pennies a week can be spent in the prison shop. The gymnasium, which also acts as a cinema and concert hall, has facilities for table tennis, basketball and dancing. Prisoners, particularly those of long sentences are encouraged to be independent and take responsibility for themselves and others. This is in many ways much more demanding than simply serving time. Just as the deputy governor of this prison once said, "We try to preserve the prisoners'' respect as much as possible by imagining ourselves in their position." His words explained why this new prison is run in a unique way. Cottonville is a new prison specially designed for women criminals in Scotland. The 226 prisoners there live in small units of 7 rooms.

听力题 There are many reasons why family life in Britain changed so much in the last fifty years. The liberation of women in the early part of the twentieth century and the social economic effects of World War II had a great impact on traditional family life. Women became essential to industry and professions. During the war they had worked in factories and proved their worth, now, with the loss of million of men, their services were indispensable to the nation. More recently, great advances in scientific knowledge, and particularly in medicine, have had enormous social consequences. Children are better cared for and are healthier. Infant death rate is low. Above all, parents can now plan the size of their family if they wish through more effective means of birth control. Different attitudes to religion, authority and tradition generally have also greatly contributed to changes in family life. But these developments have affected all aspects of society. It is particularly interesting to note that the concept of "the family" as a social unit has survived all these challenges.

听力题 An Arab prince had heard that in a certain town there was a judge who was clever in discovering truth. The prince disguised himself as a merchant and set off for the town to test the ability of the judge personally. On his way to the town, a beggar asked the prince for money and wanted to ride on the prince’s horse. Therefore, the prince let him sit behind him on the horse. When they got to the town, the beggar suddenly said the horse was his. They argued. They came to the judge and each one said the horse was his. “Leave the horse here and come back tomorrow,” the judge said. Next morning, the judge took them, one by one, to a stable where there were many horses. Each of them recognized the horse without difficulty. Then the judge said to the prince, “The horse is yours,” and ordered the beggar was given fifty blows with a whip. The prince wondered how the judge decided the case. The judge said, “When you went to the stable, I saw the horse turned his head to look at you. When the beggar approached the horse, the horse raised one foot and looked in the other direction indifferently. Thus I knew the horse belonged to you.” An Arab prince had heard that in a certain town there was a judge who was clever in discovering truth.

听力题 The period of engagement is the time between the marriage proposal and the wedding ceremony. Two people agree to marry when they decided to spend their lives together. The man usually gives the woman a diamond engagement ring. That tradition is said to have started when an Austrian man gave a diamond ring to the woman he wanted to marry. The diamond represented beauty; he placed it on the third finger of her left hand. He chose that finger because it was thought that the blood vessel in that finger went directly to the heart. Today we know that this is not true, yet the tradition continues. Americans generally are engaged for a period of about one year, ff they are planning a wedding ceremony and a party. During this time, friends of the bride may hold a party at which women friends and family members give the bride grits that she will need as a wife. These could include cooking equipment or new clothing. Friends of the man who is getting married may have a bachelor party for him. This usually takes place the night before the wedding. Only men are invited to the bachelor party. During the marriage ceremony, the bride and her would-be husband usually exchange gold rings that represent the idea that their union will continue forever. The wife often wears both the wedding ring and the engagement ring on the same finger. The husband wears his ring on the third finger of his left hand. Many people say the purpose of the engagement period is to permit enough time to plan the wedding. But the main purpose is to let enough time pass so the two people are sure that they want to many each other. Either person may decide to break the engagement. If this happens, the woman usually returns the ring to the man. They also return any wedding gifts they have received.

听力题 If you plan to remain in the United States for any length of time, you will soon find it too expensive to stay in a hotel and will want to find another place to live. As is true in cities everywhere in the world, the farther you live outside the city, generally the lower the rents will be. However traveling to and from the city by bus, car, or train may make it as expensive as living in the city. Naturally, it is easier to join in the life of a city if one is close to the center of the cit-y. For this reason, you may prefer to live as close to the center of the city as possible. Or, you may prefer to rent a place for only a month or two until you become more familiar with the area. Your best source of information about either houses or apartments is likely to be the local newspaper. Usually, the week''s most complete listing of houses or apartments to rent appears in the Sunday newspaper, which, in many cities, can be obtained late on Saturday night. Many people looking for houses or apartments believe that they have a better chance of finding a place to live if they have all the information as soon as possible. On Sunday morning, they are ready to call or visit.
