解析：

　　W：Do you know if Bill has finished his research papers on computers?

　　M：I don’t think so．He always seems to put things off until the last minute．

　　M：Hi, Helen．It’s my turn now．Is there anything that needs my attention today?

　　W：Yeah．Mr．Kent is getting worse．Here’s my report．

　　M：OK．I’ll pay close attention to him．

　　W：Could you lend me a hand, please?

　　M：I’d be glad to．Where will you put this heavy box?

　　W：Down on the bottom shelf, and then it won’t fall and hurt anyone in sudden events such as earthquakes．

　　W：I think the population of this city has got smaller in the past ten years．The streets are not as crowded as they used to be．

　　M：But the newspaper says there are more people living here than ten years ago．

　　M：How is our company’s business this month?

　　W：Not very good．Our sales volume has dropped by 10％．

　　M：Why is that?

　　W：A German company has just opened a branch here．

　　W：It’s so cold now, but this morning it was so hot and sunny．I wish there was a way I could always be wearing the most suitable clothes for the temperature．

　　M：I recently read that in then years we’ll be wearing clothes that change with the weather．

　　W：Oh, very funny! So we’ll be wearing huge clothes with built－in air conditioners and heaters．

　　M：I’m serious．Researchers will have new types of clothes made of special materials, which can store and release heat as the temperature changes．

　　W：Well, I never thought clothes could store heat．

　　M：Talking about the 21st century, I think there’ll be huge changes in the way people use cars．Laws will be made about what kind of car you can own and when you can use it．

　　W：Maybe there’ll just be too many of them on the roads．The air will be so seriously polluted that nobody will be able to breathe normally．

　　M：Exactly．People will have to rely on trains．

　　W：Why do you say that?

　　M：Well, we won’t be able to use cars, and the airports take too much space．That leaves trains．

　　W：Huh．So do you think there’ll be more efficient train systems between cities?

　　M：Sure．They’ll enable people to travel between cities in a matter of hours．There may even be trains going under oceans to connect the main continents．

　　W：Under the oceans? Get out of here! I get nervous enough flying on a plane．

　　M：Well, it’s a nice room．Um…is there anything that I should know?

　　W：Well, I don’t allow the cat to go upstairs at all．And I don’t allow people to smoke in the bedrooms．

　　M：Oh, I agree with that．I don’t smoke anyway．

　　W：And I don’t allow people to stick pictures up on the walls．

　　M：Oh, I see．Can I use small nails or something?

　　W：Oh, yes．Something like that is quite acceptable．And there’re just two more things if you don’t mind．If you go out, would you please remember to close the window?

　　M：Right．I’ll do that．

　　W：And there’s the kettle, as you can see．When you boil it, could you please put it on the floor and not on the chest of drawers?

　　M：All right．I’ll do that then．

　　M：Excuse me, madam．

　　W：Yes?

　　M：Would you mind letting me take a look in your bag?

　　W：Well, I’m afraid I certainly do mind, if it’s all the same to you．Now go away．Hey, taxi! I’ve got a train to catch．

　　M：I am sorry．I am just trying to do my job but I’m afraid you’re making it rather difficult．However, I must insist on seeing what you have in your bag．

　　W：And what do you expect to find in there? Jewels?

　　M：Madam, if there’s nothing that doesn’t belong to you, you can leave right away and I’ll apologize for the inconvenience．

　　W：Oh, very well．There you are．

　　M：Thank you．And then men’s watches?

　　W：Yes．I get very nervous if I don’t know the time．

　　M：I see you smoke a lot, too, madam．Fifteen cigarette lighters?

　　W：Yes, I’m rather a heavy smoker．And and I happen to collect lighters．

　　M：I bet you do, madam．Well, I’m afraid I’m going to have to ask you to come along with me．

　　W：How dare you!

　　W：Good morning and welcome to the Life Review．Do you know how many men do housework? Recently, a European official group tried to discover what people’s ideas were about the women’s movement．As part of their survey, they asked many men and women the question, “Who does the housework?” The men answered very differently from the women! The housework they asked people about was：preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning the house and baby－sitting．48％ of British husbands said they did this kind of work．51％ of Danish men said they helped in the house．15％ of Italian men said they did the house work．But there was an interesting point of view from the wives．According to British wives, only 38％ of their husbands help in the house．And Italian wives complained that their husbands hardly ever help．The Italian and British men didn’t tell the truth! The group found that Danish men were the most truthful husbands．Their answers were the same as their wives．
