M: Hello, Susan. Fine, thanks.
W: Now, Johnny, your team, Lanchester United, is playing in the League Cup final on Saturday. You hope to win the League Cup for the fourth time next Saturday. But Leek City is a hard team to beat. What do you think of your chances？
M: Well, Susan, I'm sure we'll win. Leek is a very strong team, but we've never been better than we are today.
W: So you're quite sure Lanchester will win the Cup for the fourth time？
M: I certainly am, Susan.
W: Well, I wish you the best of luck for Saturday.
M: Thanks very much, Susan.
W: And, by the way, happy birthday! How old are you now？
M: I'm 31 today.
W: Good. How are you going to celebrate？
M: Well, I'm going to take my wife and two little girls out for dinner tonight.
W: Good. And finally, tell us about the future, Johnny. What will you be doing in five years' time？
M: Well, Susan, I hope I'll still be playing football in five years time. But perhaps in ten years' time, when I have to retire from playing, I don't want to leave football. I'd really like to train young footballers. I don't know for sure, but I always want to work in football.
W: Good. Well, it's been nice talking to you, Johnny. I'll be watching the match on Saturday. Thanks for coming to talk to us.
M: Thanks, Susan. Thank you for having me.

听力原文：W: Howard, what are you working on now？
M: I have just finished a piece on the background music.
W: Background music？ Oh, like the music they're playing here now.
M: Yes. You can hear it everywhere — in restaurants, airports, supermarkets, department stores and so on. It's supposed to influence your attitudes, put you in the right mood.
W: I am not sure I like that idea.
M: Well, it seems to work. Companies pay millions of dollars every year for background music. It's supposed to give you a better feeling about yourself and the people around you. Factories use it a lot. It makes the workers happy, and they work better that way. In one factory, music increased production 4.5 percent.
W: I should think they'd get tired of hearing music all day.
M: They don't, though. One fellow in San Francisco told me, "If the music stops, somebody always runs to the telephone to complain."
W: Now that I think about it, I can't remember when there wasn't background music in restaurants and stores.
M: That shows how young you are. Actually, it all started during World War Ⅱ when some factories had their own orchestras to keep workers happy and calm. Now different kinds of music are playing at different times during the day. They play faster music at ten in the morning than at eight, for instance, because workers tend to be slower then.
W: What about restaurants？ Do they play the same music for dinner and lunch？
M: I don't know about that, but I do know that hamburger places play fast music. When they started playing faster music, they found that a customer spent only seventeen minutes eating. The time was twenty-minutes before that.
(23)
A．An orchestra conductor.
B．An music fan.
C．A sales manager in a music company.
D．A background music composer.

听力原文：W: Welcome to the show, George.
M: Thank you ... it's nice to be here.
W: Now, you've been an actor for quite a few years.
M: Thirty-two.
W: Thirty-two years. That seems incredible ... well, what sort of parts do you like playing best？
M: Oh, the bad man, I think.
W: You don't enjoy being the hero？
M: Well, I don't mind being the hero ... but I think I prefer being wicked ... it's more interesting.
W: You've been in films, you've been on the stage, you've had several parts on television. There's even an advertisement ...
M: Yes, don't let's talk about that ... I've stopped doing advertisements. I hate seeing that...
W: ... the crazy milkman ...
M: Yes, I only did it because I was between shows. I'd finished making a film, and I was in a new play, which unfortunately closed after only two weeks.
W: Do you like working on the stage？
M: Oh, yes. If I have a good part in a successful play, I really look forward to going to work. There's nothing like a live audience. They give you so much.
W: And television？
M: Yes, television can be fun. But, as you know, there's not too much live television.
W: We're live ...
M: Yes, we're live, but making a play for television is very like making a film. If you mess up your lines, they'll shoot the scene again. On the stage, if you forget your lines, you're on your own ...
W: And what about long runs？ Have you ever had a really long run in the theatre.
M: Yes, I spent three years at the Criterion Theatre in Murder at Midnight.
W: I can't help thinking it must be a bit boring to go on, night after night, playing the same part ...
M: Yes, but I didn't mind ... there was a marvelous atmosphere ... we had a wonderful cast ... sometimes you're lucky.
(20)
A．Two.
B．Thirty.
C．Thirty-two.
D．Three.

W: That is 1,860,000 miles per second, isn't it？
M: Yeh. Or 300,000 km per second. Of course only light can travel that fast.
W: Yeh. I know, Bob. But it is still incredible. When an astronaut lands on the moon within seconds we on earth can see it happen. People here in Australia see it at the same moment they see it in US. It is wonderful.
M: Maybe it's wonderful. I know very well it is a fact. All over the planet we can see the same thing at the same time. So moving on the moon or playing a soccer game or if we like we can watch the same war.
W: That's awful !
M: What？ Soccer？
W: You know very well that I mean war. It's awful to have a war and it's awful to watch a war on television. It's not right to sit in your house to watch people kill each other.
M: Right or wrong, awful or not, it is a fact. Wars are on the television all the time, and people all over the world watch it. Sometimes they eat dinner while they watch.
W: I don't believe that.
M: The trouble with you is that you have many opinions about things but you don't look at facts. You don't see what you don't want to see.
(23)
A．The speed of light.
B．The speed of telecommunications.
C．Astronauts landing on the moon.
D．The United States.

Many people, memory may be weak, because they don't use it enough. It's like a muscle. If you don't exercise it, it won't get strong. That's why it's important to keep our mind active, to keep on learning throughout our life. We can do this by reading, playing memory games and seeking out new experiences. It's my guess, though, that the lack of stimulation isn't a problem for students like you. More likely, the lives you live are so busy and stimulating that this in itself may sometimes interfere with learning. Later on I will discuss how information is recalled from memory. But, first, the information needs to be recorded, in other words, learned. And for busy people like you and me, that is where the real problem often lies. If we are distracted, or we are trying to think what we are going to do next, the incoming message just might not be getting recorded effectively. And that leads to the first tip for students who want to improve their memories. Give your full attention to the information you hope to retain. Research clearly shows the advantages of this, and also of active learning, of consciously trying to visualize a new fact, perhaps to make a mental picture, even a wild ridiculous one, so the new fact will stick in our memory. Let me illustrate that for you here a little more concretely this evening.

A．Factors that affect the ability to memorize.
B．The influence of childhood memories on adulthood.
C．A proposal for future psychological research.
D．Benefits of a busy lifestyle,

听力原文：M: There are just one or two more things, Catherine.
W: Do call me Cathy.
M: OK, Cathy. Are you really interested in being a vet？
W: Not really. Anyway, I'm not bright enough. I'm reasonably intelligent, but I'm not brilliant, I’m afraid my mother is a bit over optimistic.
M: Yes, I guessed that. She's a bit overpowering, isn't she, your mum？
W: A bit. But she's very kind.
M: I'm sure she is. So, you're interested in ballet and music, are you？
W: Not really. My mother sent me to lessons when I was six, so I'm quite good, I suppose. But I don't think I want to do that for the rest of my life, especially music. It's so lonely.
M: What do you enjoy doing？
W: Well, I like playing tennis, and swimming. Oh, I went to France with the school choir last year. I rosily enjoyed that. And I like talking to people. But I suppose you mean real interests things that weald help me to get a jab？
M: No. I'm more interested in what you really want to do. You like talking to people, do you？
W: Oh yes, I really enjoy meeting new people.
M: Do you think you would enjoy teaching？
W: No, no, I don't really. I was never very interested in school work, and I'd like to do something different. Anyway, there's a teacher training college very near us. It would be just like going to school again.

A．ballet.
B．Swimming.

听力原文： Some of the most practical lessons coming out of research in psychology are in the area of memory. People ask, why can't I remember that term from the physics chapter or that the library books are due？

听力原文：M: Hi, Laura. Where are you heading？
W: Hi, Peter. Put off to the gym. I've got to stay in shape, you know.
M: What's the main reason you work out？ For your health, or to look good？
W: To be honest, for both. With women, good looks are always a very important consideration.
M: If you were honest, most men who work out would admit that they also do it to look better, and nut merely for health reasons.
W: Do you get any regular exercise？
M: I do a lot of walking, for exercise and enjoyment—sometimes ten to twenty kilometers at a time—but I never go to the gym like you do.
W: Well, walking is good exercise. How about sports？
M: Not since my school days. I used to love playing baseball, but it's impossible to get enough people together for a game now. Mostly I just watch sports on TV.
W: I play tennis fairly regularly with my friends, and sometimes go swimming and cycling by myself.
M: Oh, I forgot about that. I go cycling sometimes too. And I often go swimming on vacation, but only recreational swimming.
W: Why don't you join me at the gym sometime？ I can get you a guest pass.
M: Well, maybe someday, but I'm pretty lazy about things like that.
(20)
A．He is an active sportsman.
B．He is a keen cyclist.
C．He enjoys playing baseball.
D．He exercises regularly.
