听力原文：Alan: Come in !

Sally: Hi Alan—I just wondered if you would like to come out for a coffee.

Alan: Oh, hi, Sally. I was just writing a letter.

Sally: Writing a letter! Is your phone out of order？

Alan: No—well, not exactly a letter. Alex has applied for a job at children's summer camp, and they've asked me for a character reference.

Sally: Oh dear—you're not going to tell them the truth, are you？

Alan: What do you mean？

Sally: Well, that he's a big-headed show off who never does a day's work.

Alan: Oh, come on, he's not that bad—I mean, kids love him. He's always entertaining his little brother's friends with his magic tricks.

Sally: Oh, yes, he's great with children, but he's big kid himself, isn't he？

Alan: Yes, I suppose he is a bit immature.

Sally: And I hope they don't expect him to work before four o'clock in the afternoon. You know what he's like—he needs a bomb under him to get him up in the morning.

Alan: Mm.

Sally: Also, he hates taking orders from anybody. Do you remember that job he had last summer in a restaurant？ He ended up throwing a bucket of water over the chef when she asked him to wash the kitchen floor.

Alan: Oh no, don't remind me. But he did run that restaurant single-handed when the chef and two of the waiters were off sick with food poisoning.

Sally: That's true. Hers good in a crisis. Now shall we go and get some coffee？

Alan: All right.

My son Joey was born with club feet, (29) The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk normally, but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in surgery, casts and braces. By the age of six, Joey could go to school with other neighbor children. (30) By the time he was eight, you wouldn't know he had a problem when you saw him walk.

One year later, Joey would jump right in and nun as most children do during play. We never told him that he probably wouldn't be able to run as well as the other children. So he didn't know.

In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross-country team. Every day he trained with the team. Although the entire team runs, only the top seven runners have the potential to score points for the school. We didn't tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn't know.

He continued to run four to five miles a day. Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were called. Joey was number six on the list. (31)He was in seventh grade, while the other six team members were all eighth-graders. We never told him he shouldn't expect to make the team. We never told him he couldn't do it... so he didn't know. He just did it.

听力原文：W: Tom, do you have a minute？

M: Oh, hi, Cathy, sure. Anything？

W: Well, I've been meaning to talk to you about the situation in the office.

M: I'm not in that very often. It's so noisy that I can't work.

W: That's exactly what I'm getting at. We're supposed to be able to do our preparation and marking in that office. But have you noticed Jack constantly has students coming in to get help with his course. A lot of people are going in and out.

W: Has anybody spoken to him about it？

M: No, not yet. But someone's going to have to.

W: We can't really ask him to stop having students come in for help, can we？

M: No, of course not. But I'm not able to do my work and neither are you. I imagine it's the same for the others in the office.

W: Hum... Could we ask for a kind of meeting room？ When teachers have to talk with the students, they could go to the meeting room and not use the office. You know, there's a room down the hall, a rather small room that we could ask to use. It's only for storing supplies.

M: You mean that little storage room？ Oh, that would be too small.

W: Are you sure？ With the cabinets taken out, it might be bigger than it looks.

M: Come to think of it？ maybe it will be Ok. I'd like to have a look at that room.

M: Yeah. Can you tell me what facilities they have for disabled students？ My wheelchair doesn't always allow me to get into buildings.

W: You should inquire at Student Services. (22) They can discuss your medical history with you confidentially and make allowances. My friends Shannon and Rosie use computers to do their exams, so in your case, I'm sure it would not be a problem.

M: What about the wheelchair access？

W: (23) The newer buildings have elevators and wide doors, but the older buildings have not been upgraded to accommodate handicapped people as far as I know. What faculty are you planning to go into？

M: I am thinking of doing engineering.

W: Hmm. Engineering is in the old Adams building. I don't know if there is an elevator.

M: Do the buses that go out to campus have facilities to bring wheelchairs on board？

W: Yes, that I know for sure. (24) All the buses are equipped with electronic lifts, and there are seats that fold back.

M: What about the sidewalks？

W: I think most of the sidewalks have been leveled at the corners, so you could probably use your wheelchair, but I am not sure. In fact, if you would like, (25) why don't you come with me？ I'll be taking the bus and I could show you around once we got there.

M: That's really nice of you, Raphel. I'd really like that.

W: Okay, I will come to your house about 8:30 in the morning and we can take the commuter train into town, then catch the bus up to the university.

M: Great, I look forward to it.

W: You mean you have not yet started working on it？

M: No. I think it's still too early. I need something to get inspired, the pressure of a deadline, you know.

W: Gee. I'm just the opposite type. It usually takes me some time to get assignments fully-prepared. I'm a little worried. You know I'll take a big physics test in the afternoon, so I have to put aside my presentation till the test is over.

M: What's your presentation on？

W: William, Carlos William.

M: He was a poet, wasn't he？ I think we are supposed to focus on story writers.

听力原文：M: Hi, Sarah. What's up？

W: Oh, hi, I just got out of a history class. I had to give a presentation.

M: How did it go？

W: Terrible. I'm sure I made a fool of myself.

M: Why？ Weren't you prepared？

W: No, it was not that. (23) I just get so embarrassed and nervous whenever I have to speak in front of a group of people. I stand up and my face gets red and then I get even more nervous because I know everyone can see me blushing.

M: It's not so bad to blush.

W: But it happens all the time. If the professor asks a question and I know the answer. I will blush like crazy if he calls on me. Doesn't that ever happen to you？

M: No, not really. (24)Maybe you should just try to forget about the people. Look at something else in the room, like the exit sign.

W: I guess I could try that. But I doubt it'll help.

M: You know we talked about this in psychology class. (25)Blushing, even though it's involuntary, is more or less a learned behavior.

W: What do you mean？

M: (25)Oh, children hardly ever blush at all. And among adults, supposedly, women blush more than men.

W: I wonder why？

M: I don't know, but I had a friend in high school, Brian Smith. It was really easy to make him blush. He turned red whenever a waitress would ask him for his order.
