Conversation One

听力原文

M: Hi, Ann, welcome back. How's your trip to the states?

W: Very busy. 【19】I had a lot of meetings. So, of course, I didn't have much time to see New York.

M: What a pity. Actually I have a trip there myself next week.

W: Do you? Then take my advice, do the well-being in the air program. It really works.

M: Oh, I read about that in a magazine. You say it works?

W: Yes. 【20】I did the program on the flight to the States. And when I arrived in New York, I didn't have any problem. No jet leg at all. On the way back, I didn't do it, and I felt terrible.

M: You are joking.

W: Not at all. It really made a lot of difference.

M: Hmm...【21】So, what did you do?

W: Well, I didn't drink any alcohol or coffee, and I didn't eat any meat or rich food. I drink a lot of water and fruit juice, and I eat the meals on the well-being menu. They are lighter. They have fish, vegetables and noodles, for example. And I did some of the exercises in the program.

M: Exercises? On a plane?

W: Yes. I didn't do many, of course. There isn't much space on the plane.

M: 【22】How many passengers did the exercises?

W: Not many.

M: And how much champagne did they drink?

W: A lot. It was more popular than mineral water.

M: So, basically, it's a choice. Mineral water and exercises or champagne and jet lag.

W: That's right. It's a difficult choice.

Conversation Two

【听力原文】

W: Morning. Can I help you?

M: Well, I'm not really sure. I'm just looking.

W: I see. Well, there's plenty to look at again this year. I'm sure you'd have to walk miles to see each stand.

M: That's true.

W: Would you like a coffee? Come and sit down for a minute. No obligation.

M: Well, that's very kind of you. But...

W: No, please, 【23】is this the first year you‘ve been to the fair, Mr. ...?

M: Yes. Johnson. James Johnson.

W: My name's Susan Carter. 【24】Are you looking for anything in particular, or are you just interested in computers in general?

M: Well, actually, I have some specific jobs in mind. I own a small company. We've grown quite dramatically over the past 12 months, and we really need some technological help to enable us to keep on top of everything.

W: 【25】What's your line of business, Mr. Johnson?

M: We are a training consultancy.

W: I see. And what do you need to keep on top?

M: The first thing is correspondence. We have a lot of standard letters and forms. 【24】So I suppose we need some kind of word processor.

W: Right. Well, that's no problem. But it may be possible for you to get a system that does a lot of other things in addition to word processing. What might suit you is the MR5000. That's over there. It's IBM compatible.

M: What about the price?

W: Well, the MR5000 costs 1,050 pounds. Software comes free with the hardware.

M: Well, I'll think about it. Thank you.

W: Here's my card. Please feel free to contact me.
