听力材料：第一节 　　M：Now what seems to be the trouble, Mrs．Stephens? 　　W：I’ve been very weak lately, and last night I had some chest pains． 　　M：See you the coming Saturday, Mary． 　　W：Saturday? Why? What’s happening? I’m going away for the weekend． 　　M：I heard that Mary and Jack got married． 　　W：That’s true．They were married on Oct．1st, but they didn’t leave on their honeymoon for a week． 　　W：What do you think of your new boss, John? 　　M：Well, he’s full of praise when you do well．But when you make a mistake, you’d better watch out． 　　M：Did you see the movie in the cinema last night? 　　W：I would have seen it, but my cousin stopped by for a visit．I hadn’t seen her for more than a year． 　　第二节 　　M：Was that the telephone ringing? 　　W：I don’t hear anything． 　　M：I thought I heard it ring two or three times． 　　W：Sometimes when the windows are open, you can hear the neighbor’s phone． 　　M：Well, I’m expecting an important phone call, and I don’t want to miss it． 　　W：Is it anything I should know about? 　　M：Not really．It has something to do with work and doesn’t really affect us here at home． 　　W：Well, why don’t you go ahead and do what you want to do outside? I’ll call you if the phone rings． 　　M：Thanks．I think I will．I’ve been waiting so long now．I’m getting nervous．I need to breathe in some fresh air outside． 　　W：When do you take your winter holiday? 　　M：I usually take it during the second or third week of January． 　　W：Do you like to ski? 　　M：Yes, I love to go skiing． 　　W：Where do you go? 　　M：I go to a hotel in the mountains． 　　W：Is it far from here? 　　M：It’s about a hundred miles away． 　　W：Does it get cold? 　　M：Oh, yes! It gets very cold．It snows a lot． 　　W：Do you go alone? 　　M：A couple of my friends usually go with me．Do you want to come along some weekend? 　　W：No, not me．I don’t like cold weather． 　　M：I really like it．I love snow! 　　M：Hello, Mary．Why are you standing here in the cold wind? 　　W：I’m waiting for a bus, but the buses are very full at this time of the day． 　　M：Where are you going? This isn’t your way home．You must take a bus from the other side of the street to go home． 　　W：I’m not going home now．I’m going for a walk in the park．I always like to go for a walk before lunch． 　　M：Then why aren’t you going there on foot? Why are you going by bus? Why not walk from here to the park, too? It isn’t very far． 　　W：Oh, no, Bill．It isn’t very interesting to walk through the streets; in fact, it’s very boring．So I always take bus No．3． 　　W：Er, well, I think there is a job that could well interest you． 　　M：Really? 　　W：Yes．It’s at a high school in North London． 　　M：Oh, yes． 　　W：Yeah．They’re looking for a French teacher． 　　M：Oh, that sounds interesting．How much do they pay? 　　W：Well, I seem to remember they mentioned something in the area of twenty-five thousand a year． 　　M：Uh, huh． 　　W：And, well, I think the job, you know, includes the normal teaching hours, and I suppose you’d have a thirty-five-hour week． 　　M：Oh, really? When does the job start? 　　W：Er, well, you know, at the beginning of September． 　　In West Africa and Australia, there exists an unusual tree called the baobab．It’s a strange-looking tree．Its huge trunk sometimes measures as much as ten metres in diameter．It is thicker at the bottom than at the top．The branches near the ground are very long; those near the top are very short．It may look strange, but it is extremely useful．Its leaves are good to eat．Its white flowers turn into cool juicy fruit which tastes rather like cucumber．There are such strong fibres in the skin of the trunk that people can make rope and cloth from them． 　　When a baobab gets old, its trunk becomes empty inside． 　　An old tree’s empty inside space can be huge enough to hold many people．The local people even build their houses inside these trunks．When it rains, water collects in the trunk and remains cool and fresh because of such a lot of leaves and branches．
