Nothing special．It’s just that it’s been such a long time since we’ve had a chance to get together． 　　M：I’d very much love to, but tomorrow happens to be my grandfather’s birthday．He’s eighty． 　　W：Is he? That’s a very special occasion．Then how about this weekend? 　　M：OK．I’m not doing anything Saturday evening．I’ll just come and we’ll have a good chat over a coffee or something． 　　Ｗ：Gee, that’s great． 　　(Text 6) 　　W：Justin, may I ask you for some advice? 　　M：Of course． 　　W：I really want to improve my chemistry．But I wonder if I could． 　　M：Well, have you ever considered using the lab in your free time? 　　W：Well, yes．I could do that, for a famous saying goes like this：practice makes perfect． 　　(Text 7) 　　W：What’s the matter, Erik? You look kind of pale． 　　M：Oh, I’m just tired． 　　W：Why? 　　M：Well, I’ve been working until around eleven every night this week． 　　W：You should go home at quitting time today and take it easy． 　　M：Yes, I think I will． 　　W：That’s good．Hey, how’s your brother? 　　M：He’s fine, but he is awfully busy．He went to America on a business trip two weeks ago． 　　W：Oh, really? Is he back yet? 　　M：No, he won’t come back for several more weeks． 　　W：Wow! He must have a lot to do there． 　　M：Yes, he does． 　　(Text 8) 　　M：Oh, no, another day like this．I wish there was something we could do about all the air pollution． 　　W：I know what you mean．But, I don’t think there is too much that can be done as long as we use so many cars．It’s mostly the fumes from the cars that make the air so dirty． 　　M：Oh, honey．You know that it’s not really the fault of cars．It’s the fault of the factories． 　　W：You say that just because you like the convenience of your car．You won’t even walk to work．You say that it’s because of the pollution．Then you go out in your car and add to the pollution． 　　M：You’re right．I guess the answer to the problem lies with people letting themselves be a little inconvenient．I’m going to do my part for the environment and walk to work today． 　　W：Not only will it help the air quality, it will help your body, too．You haven’t been getting enough exercise lately; they will force you to get some． 　　(Text 9) 　　W：Hello, James, I haven’t seen you for several weeks． 　　M：Oh, hey, Sandy．I’ve been studying a lot for my final exam． 　　W：Well, the term is almost over now． 　　M：Yes．My pen friend is coming for a visit this summer and we’d like to see some of the country．But travelling is so expensive． 　　W：Have you thought about camping? 　　M：Camping? I’ve never done that． 　　W：I think you’ll really like it．It’s much cheaper than staying at a hotel．And being close to nature is a good way to forget about our school for a while． 　　M：What a good idea! We can go by bike until we find a nice place and just camp wherever we like． 　　W：Well, not exactly．You’re only allowed to camp in certain places．But there are many national parks, state parks and even villages camp ground around the country． 　　M：Sounds great! Here’s my bus．I’ll talk to you about this again． 　　(Text 10) 　　London taxi drivers know the capital like the back of their hands, no matter how small and unknown the street is．The driver will be able to get you there without trouble．The reason why London taxi drivers are so skilled is that they have all gone through a very tough training period to get the special taxi-driving permit．During this period which can last from 2 to 4 years, the would-be driver has to learn the most direct road to every single road and every important building in London．To achieve this, most learners go round the city on small motorbikes, practicing how to move to and from different points of the city．Learner taxi drivers are tested several times during the training period by government officers．Their exams are terrible experience．The officers will ask you how you get from Buckingham Palace to the Tower of London, and you have to take them there in the direct line．When you get to the tower they won’t say “well done”．They will quickly move on to the next question．After 5 or 6 questions, they will just say “see you in two months’ time”, and then you know the exam is over． 　　Learner drivers are not allowed to work and earn money as drivers; therefore many of them keep their previous jobs until they obtain the license．The training costs quite a lot because learners have to pay for their own expenses on the tests and medical exam． 　　第三节：听下面1段材料。请根据题目要求，从所给的内容中获取必要的信息。录音读两遍，你有90秒钟的作答时间。 　　Nowadays the Open University in Britain plays an important role in British education． 　　In 1963, the leader of the Labor Party made a speech explaining a plan for a “university of the air”－an educational institution which would make use of television, radio and correspondence courses to give educational opportunity to those people who, for one reason or another, did not have a chance to receive further education．But at that time many people laughed at the plan． 　　By 1969 the plan was well advanced and by August 1970 the Open University, as it is now called, had received forty thousand applications．But only twenty-four thousand could be accepted then for the four introductory courses：social sciences, arts, science and mathematics．Many clerks, farm workers, housewives, teachers, policemen attended the first class over the radio or on TV in January 1971．Meanwhile, study centers were set up all over the country so that students could spend one week a year at one of the university’s summer schools． 　　It is probably the cheapest and most far-reaching method to promote education．
