听力题M: You must be pretty excited about your trip to Europe. When is it that you''re leaving? W: In just three weeks and I am excited, but there are still things I need to do before I go. M: Like what? W: Like renewing my passport, going to the travel agency to buy my plane ticket and making a decision as to what to do with my apartment while I am gone. M: You''re not going to give it up, are you? W: No way, I''ll never find another apartment around here. But I don''t like the idea of paying three month''s rent on an empty apartment, either. M: I don''t blame you. Perhaps you could sublet it. W: Yes. That''s exactly what I want. But who to? Or do you by any chance know the person who will? M: Hum, let me think, Oh, I know just the person, an old colleague of mine, Jim Thomas. He is coming here to do some research this summer from June through August. W: Well, that''s exactly when I''ll be away. It sounds ideal, as long as the landlord agrees. M: Tell you what. I''ll be calling Jim later this week anyway, so I''ll mention it to him then. W: Well, thanks, Bill. Let me know what happens. That extra money would really come in handy. M: You must be pretty excited about your trip to Europe. When is it that you''re leaving?

听力题 Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives. If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialist advice is available to help you choose the most suitable breed of dog. But in part, the decision depends on common sense. Most breeds were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose a breed that has the right size and characteristics. You must also be ready to devote a good deal of time to train the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the country and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Whereas cats identify with the house and they are content if their place there is secure, a dog identifies with its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection. The best time to buy a baby-dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its affection from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets. Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives.

听力题 In many ways college students of the last two decades of the 19th century were deeply involved in the process of change. The North American institutions they attended were undergoing profound change. It was not just that more students were being admitted. These were different students－some were women. In Ontario, Canada, Queen’s University was the first to admit women into degree programs, and then the University of Toronto followed suit eight years later in 1884. Moreover, as colleges ceased to cater more narrowly to candidates for the religious ministry, and professions came to be seen as a logical continuation of secondary school, young students began to predominate. So universities had to adjust to the needs of students who were less mature and less settled in their interests. As the students changed, so did the curriculum. Academic and professional training became much more complex, but the traditional art program was changed as well. Rigid courses of study full of Greek and Latin prerequisites were replaced at many schools by optional systems that featured new subjects, such as English literature, economics and psychology. Old subjects, like biology and philosophy, were also rocked by new ideas so that they too seemed very different.

听力题 Both John and Sue joined the staff of a successful public relation''s firm in New York during the same year. They had just completed their PR degrees at a nearby university and were thrilled to be hired by one of the finest PR firms in the city. John''s first assignment was to create a promotion campaign for a client who was to put in a new game on the market. Initially Sue was assigned to work with a sportswear company on the marketing concept for its newest line of clothing. As time passed and work with their respective first clients became more and more difficult, John and Sue realized that they had been assigned two of the toughest accounts in town. Although John completed his assignment quickly and successfully, he was furious when he learned that the boss had deliberately assigned him a difficult account. In response, he not only complained to his colleagues, but also to the boss''s secretary. Sue, on the other hand, had a more difficult time satisfying her first client and she took several additional months to actually complete the project. However, she just laughed when she heard that the boss had made the assignments purposely. Over the next two years John worked reluctantly with each assignment and problem that he encountered. Sue accepted each assignment cheerfully and when problems arose she responded with her characteristic, "No problem, I can handle it." Although Sue took longer to complete her projects than John and both were equally successful on the assignments they completed, Sue was given the first promotion when there came a vacancy.
