[03:43.50]	W: There were more than a hundred people at Kate's birthday party.

[05:30.36]	Q14.
[05:33.09]	M: My washing machine is more than fifteen years old
[05:37.58]	and it has worked just fine until last night.
[05:41.52]	W: You'll never be able to get parts for it, even from Japan.
[05:46.26]	So it might be time to invest a more recent model.

[06:09.35]	Q15.
[06:11.54]	W: I heard about your promotion, you must be thrilled.
[06:15.94]	M: Not really, the new office is huge, but the word load has doubled.

[06:42.44]	Q16.
[06:44.81]	W: I can't decide what to do about the party tomorrow.
[06:48.51]	M: You don't have to go if you don't want to,but I'll be glad to give you a ride if you do.

[07:17.96]	M: Now if you have any questions about the contract. I'll be happy to answer them.
[07:23.54]	W: Nothing comes to mind right now,

[07:55.09]	M: We are out of paper for the printer. Can you please order some?
[07:59.72]	W: I completed the order form online yesterday and it will be here by noon.

[08:27.22]	Long Conversation
[08:31.55]	Conversation One
[08:34.04]	W: Bob, do you know who I saw the other day? Old Jake, looking terribly depressed.
[08:41.30]	Did he get pensioned off at last?
[08:43.56]	M: Yes. They made him retire after 50 years at sea.
[08:48.23]	He is pretty upset about it, but what can you do? He really is pasted.
[08:54.32]	W: He is all alone, isn't he?
[08:56.42]	M: Yes, his wife has been dead for years.
[09:00.08]	They had one daughter, Dories. But she went off to town as soon as she left school.
[09:06.29]	And he hasn't heard from her since. I hear she is making good money as a model.
[09:11.49]	W: Maybe someone could get in touch with her. Get her to come back for a while to help?
[09:18.09]	M: I don't suppose she come. She never got on with her father.
[09:23.11]	He is bit of a tough character and she is rather selfish.
[09:27.63]	Oh, I expect old Jake will get by.
[09:31.15]	He is healthy at least, comes into a clinic for a check regularly.
[09:36.17]	W: Are you his doctor?
[09:37.93]	M: No, my partner doctor Johnson is.
[09:41.16]	W: That bad-tempered old thing?
[09:43.45]	M: Oh, he isn't bad-tempered. He just looks it.
[09:47.43]	He is an excellent doctor,taught me a lot,and he has a very nice family.
[09:53.99]	His wife invites me over there to supper every week. Very pleasant.
[09:58.86]	W: yes. I teach their daughter Pen at school.
[10:02.48]	She is a bit careless and lazy about her school work,
[10:06.61]	but a bright little thing and very popular with her age group.
[10:12.42]	Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you've just heard.
[10:20.19]	Q19. Why does old Jake look terribly depressed?
[10:43.23]	Q20. What do we learn about Jake's wife?
[11:05.11]	Q21. What does the man say about Jake's daughter?
[11:27.56]	Q22. What does the man say about Jake's doctor?
[11:49.41]	Conversation Two
[11:51.68]	W: Hello, Mr. Summerfield. How are you today?
[11:55.15]	M: Very well. Thank you, Ms. Green.
[11:57.92]	W: What can I do for you?
[11:59.76]	M: Well,unfortunately,there is a problem with the order we received from you yesterday.
[12:06.14]	It seems we haven't seen the right quantity of manuals to support the telephone system.
[12:12.08]	W: Oh, dear, that's bad news. I'm very sorry to hear that,
[12:17.28]	and you don't know how many packs are without manuals?
[12:21.14]	M: No, because we haven't opened every pack.
[12:24.19]	But in several of those that have been opened there are none, no manuals.
[12:29.96]	W: I'm very sorry about this inconvenience, Mr. Summerfield.
[12:34.60]	We'll send out the manuals this afternoon by express mail entirely at our cost,
[12:41.23]	and the manuals should arrive tomorrow or the day after at the latest.
[12:46.65]	M: All of them, right?
[12:48.53]	W: Yes. It maybe that some have them already, but we cannot be sure.
[12:54.79]	So the best thing is to send out the manual for every pack.
[12:59.22]	M: Yes. Yes, I see. That would be great.
[13:02.62]	W: Please accept our apologies for this mix-up.
[13:05.79]	I assure you we will do everything possible to find out why the mistake happened.
[13:11.00]	M: Right. Thanks for your swift action.
[13:13.42]	W: Not at all. Thank you and goodbye for now. Do call if there is anything else.
[13:19.00]	M: All right. Thank you. Goodbye, Ms Green.
[13:22.18]	W: Goodbye.
[13:23.36]	Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you've just heard.
[13:30.98]	Q23. What problems are the speakers discussing?
[13:54.39]	Q24. What does the woman promise to do?
[14:15.52]	Q25. What does the man think of the solution?

[15:14.34]	Passage 1
[15:16.96]	Attracting and feeding wild birds are entertaining activities
[15:21.79]	that have long been enjoyed by people all over the world.
[15:26.10]	Feeding birds has become so popular that prepared feed mixtures are readily available.
[15:33.91]	We feed birds for many reasons. Many pleasant hours can come from watching birds.
[15:40.75]	A hobby often develops into a serious study of their habits.
[15:45.50]	Accurate identification of birds is usually the first goal.
[15:51.32]	But observations that an amateur bird-watcher can make are really limitless.
[15:57.84]	There is, however, responsibility associated with bird feeding, including a disease hazard.
[16:07.38]	Attracting numbers of birds continually to the same spot can be harmful to them,
[16:14.01]	particularly species that pick food from the ground contaminated by the droppings of other birds.
[16:20.31]	In winter feeding efforts are most satisfying to people and are of greatest benefit to birds.
[16:28.83]	During this time when fewer natural foods are available and air temperatures are lower,
[16:35.43]	extra feeding can keep a bird warm and well.
[16:39.18]	Once begun, feeding should never stop during these lean months.
[16:45.00]	If you start a local increase of birds,
[16:48.96]	be prepared to do what may be required to eliminate hazards to those you want to befriend.
[16:56.88]	A constant supply of food should be given until the cold is over and spring has come.
[17:03.21]	If feeding is stopped during severe weather, birds used to relying upon the feeders must starve.
[17:11.86]	Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you've just heard.
[17:19.45]	Q26 What does the speaker say about bird watching?
[17:44.13]	Q27 What does the speaker say about birds fed continually on the same spot?
[18:08.67]	Q28 What does the speaker suggest we do in feeding birds in winter?
[18:31.62]	Passage 2
[18:33.97]	My friend Leo makes up weak and poor excuses whenever there is something he doesn't want to do.
[18:41.64]	Just two weeks ago, he was at my house when he decided he didn't want to go into work.
[18:49.16]	He called his boss and said he had to get a new set of tires put on his truck.
[18:55.19]	Then he sat down and watched TV with me.Not only had he lied but his excuse wasn't a very convincing one.
[19:06.45]	Another time,he cancelled a date with his girlfriend at the last minute
[19:11.72]	telling her he had to get a new battery for his truck.
[19:16.15]	She was angry and refused to go out with him again until he apologized.
[19:22.42]	Last weekend, Leo offered the poorest excuse yet.
[19:27.60]	He'd promised he'd help me move some furniture, from my parents' house to my new apartment.
[19:34.53]	He was supposed to bring his truck over about 8 o'clock Saturday morning.
[19:40.11]	I waited, and then called and left a message on his machine.
[19:45.20]	About 11:30, he called and said he was sorry but he'd been getting a new set of tires put on his truck.
[19:55.34]	I guess he'd forgotten he used the same excuse when he called his boss from my house.
[20:01.81]	I think I need a new set of friends. I'm beginning to get tired of Leo's excuses.
[20:09.92]	Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you've just heard.
[20:16.60]	Q29 What does the speaker tell us about her friend Leo?
[20:40.05]	Q30 What did his girlfriend do when Leo canceled a date with her at the last minute?
[21:04.29]	Q31 What favor did the speaker ask Leo to do last weekend?
[21:27.75]	Passage 3
[21:30.24]	In Hollywood, everybody wants to be rich, famous and beautiful.
[21:35.96]	Nobody wants to be old, unknown and poor.
[21:39.82]	For Hollywood kids, life can be difficult because they grow up such an unreal atmosphere.
[21:47.40]	Their parents are ambitious and the children are part of the parents' ambitions.
[21:53.37]	Parents pay for wasteful grand parties, expensive cars and designer clothes.
[22:01.96]	When every dream can come true, kids don't learn the value of anything because they have everything.
[22:09.06]	A thirteen-year-old boy, Trent Maguire, has a driver,
[22:14.70]	credit cards and unlimited cash to do what he wants when he wants to.
[22:20.09]	"One day, I'll earn more than my dad!" he boasts.
[22:25.32]	Parents buy care and attention for their children because they have no time to give it themselves.
[22:32.00]	Amender's mother employs a personal trainer, a bodyguard,
[22:37.26]	a singing coach and a councilor to look after all her fifteen-year-old daughter's needs.
[22:43.65]	Often, there is no parent at home most days,
[22:48.51]	so children decide whether to make their own meals or go out to restaurants,
[22:53.53]	when to watch television or do homework.
[22:56.70]	They organize their social life. They play no childhood games.
[23:02.27]	They become adults before they're ready.
[23:05.54]	Hollywood has always been the city of dreams.
[23:10.07]	The kids there live unreal lives where money, beauty and pleasure are the only gods.
[23:18.13]	Will children around the world soon start to think the same? Or do they already?
[23:26.54]	Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you've just heard.
[23:34.00]	Q32 Why is life said to be difficult for Hollywood kids?
[23:59.08]	Q33 What does the speaker say about Trent Maguire, a thirteen-year-old boy?
[24:21.31]	Q34 Why does Amender's mother employ other people to look after her needs?
[24:45.44]	Q35 What will probably have negative effects on the lives of Hollywood kids?

[26:08.14]	Around 120 years ago, Ebbinghaus began his study of memory.
[26:15.39]	He concentrated on studying how quickly the human mind can remember information.
[26:23.15]	One result of his research is known as the total time hypothesis,
[26:30.14]	which simply mean the amount you learn depends on the time you spend trying to learn it.
[26:36.25]	This can be taken as our first rule of learning.
[26:40.79]	Although it is usually true that studying for 4 hours is better than studying for 1,
[26:48.59]	there is still the question of how to use the 4 hours. For example,
[26:54.12]	is it better to study for 4 hours straight or to study for 1 hour a day for 4 days in a row?
[27:03.97]	The answer, as you may have suspected, is that it is better to spread out the study times.
[27:10.75]	This phenomenon through which we can learn more efficiently by dividing our practice time
[27:17.27]	is known as the distribution of practice effect.
[27:21.22]	Thus, our second rule of learning is this. It's better to study fairly briefly but often.
[27:30.60]	But we are not finished yet. We haven't considered how we should study over very short periods of time.
[27:39.59]	Let's say you are trying to learn some new and rather difficult English vocabulary using a stack of cards.
[27:48.58]	Should you look at the same word in rapid succession or look at the word
[27:55.00]	and then have some delay before you look at it again?
[27:59.10]	The answer is it is better to space up the presentations of the word you are to learn.
[28:10.19]	Now the passage will be read again

[15:14.34]	Passage 1
[15:16.96]	Attracting and feeding wild birds are entertaining activities
[15:21.79]	that have long been enjoyed by people all over the world.
[15:26.10]	Feeding birds has become so popular that prepared feed mixtures are readily available.
[15:33.91]	We feed birds for many reasons. Many pleasant hours can come from watching birds.
[15:40.75]	A hobby often develops into a serious study of their habits.
[15:45.50]	Accurate identification of birds is usually the first goal.
[15:51.32]	But observations that an amateur birdwatcher can make are really limitless.
[15:57.84]	There is, however, responsibility associated with bird feeding, including a disease hazard.
[16:07.38]	Attracting numbers of birds continually to the same spot can be harmful to them,
[16:14.01]	particularly species that pick food from the ground contaminated by the droppings of other birds.
[16:20.31]	In winter feeding efforts are most satisfying to people and are of greatest benefit to birds.
[16:28.83]	During this time when fewer natural foods are available and air temperatures are lower,
[16:35.43]	extra feeding can keep a bird warm and well.
[16:39.18]	Once begun, feeding should never stop during these lean months.
[16:45.00]	If you start a local increase of birds,
[16:48.96]	be prepared to do what may be required to eliminate hazards to those you want to befriend.
[16:56.88]	A constant supply of food should be given until the cold is over and spring has come.
[17:03.21]	If feeding is stopped during severe weather, birds used to relying upon the feeders must starve.
[17:11.86]	Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you' ve just heard.
[17:19.45]	Q26 What does the speaker say about bird watching?
[17:44.13]	Q27 What does the speaker say about birds fed continually on the same spot?

[18:31.62]	Passage 2
[18:33.97]	My friend Leo makes up weak and poor excuses whenever there is something he doesn' t want to do.
[18:41.64]	Just two weeks ago, he was at my house when he decided he didn' t want to go into work.
[18:49.16]	He called his boss and said he had to get a new set of tires put on his truck.
[18:55.19]	Then he sat down and watched TV with me. Not only had he lied but his excuse wasn' t a very convincing one.
[19:06.45]	Another time, he cancelled a date with his girlfriend at the last minute
[19:11.72]	telling her he had to get a new battery for his truck.
[19:16.15]	She was angry and refused to go out with him again until he apologized.
[19:22.42]	Last weekend, Leo offered the poorest excuse yet.
[19:27.60]	He' d promised he' d help me move some furniture, from my parents' house to my new apartment.
[19:34.53]	He was supposed to bring his truck over about 8 o' clock Saturday morning.
[19:40.11]	I waited, and then called and left a message on his machine.
[19:45.20]	About 11: 30, he called and said he was sorry but he' d been getting a new set of tires put on his truck.
[19:55.34]	I guess he' d forgotten he used the same excuse when he called his boss from my house.
[20:01.81]	I think I need a new set of friends. I' m beginning to get tired of Leo' s excuses.
[20:09.92]	Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you' ve just heard.
[20:16.60]	Q29 What does the speaker tell us about her friend Leo?

[21:27.75]	Passage 3
[21:30.24]	In Hollywood, everybody wants to be rich, famous and beautiful.
[21:35.96]	Nobody wants to be old, unknown and poor.
[21:39.82]	For Hollywood kids, life can be difficult because they grow up such an unreal atmosphere.
[21:47.40]	Their parents are ambitious and the children are part of the parents' ambitions.
[21:53.37]	Parents pay for wasteful grand parties, expensive cars and designer clothes.
[22:01.96]	When every dream can come true, kids don' t learn the value of anything because they have everything.
[22:09.06]	A thirteenyearold boy, Trent Maguire, has a driver,
[22:14.70]	credit cards and unlimited cash to do what he wants when he wants to.
[22:20.09]	" One day, I' ll earn more than my dad!" he boasts.
[22:25.32]	Parents buy care and attention for their children because they have no time to give it themselves.
[22:32.00]	Amender' s mother employs a personal trainer, a bodyguard,
[22:37.26]	a singing coach and a councilor to look after all her fifteenyearold daughter' s needs.
[22:43.65]	Often, there is no parent at home most days,
[22:48.51]	so children decide whether to make their own meals or go out to restaurants,
[22:53.53]	when to watch television or do homework.
[22:56.70]	They organize their social life. They play no childhood games.
[23:02.27]	They become adults before they' re ready.
[23:05.54]	Hollywood has always been the city of dreams.
[23:10.07]	The kids there live unreal lives where money, beauty and pleasure are the only gods.
[23:18.13]	Will children around the world soon start to think the same? Or do they already?
[23:26.54]	Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you' ve just heard.
[23:34.00]	Q32 Why is life said to be difficult for Hollywood kids?
[23:59.08]	Q33 What does the speaker say about Trent Maguire, a thirteenyearold boy?
[24:21.31]	Q34 Why does Amender' s mother employ other people to look after her needs?

[26:08.14]	Around 120 years ago, Ebbinghaus began his study of memory.
[26:15.39]	He concentrated on studying how quickly the human mind can remember information.
[26:23.15]	One result of his research is known as the total time hypothesis,
[26:30.14]	which simply mean the amount you learn depends on the time you spend trying to learn it.
[26:36.25]	This can be taken as our first rule of learning.
[26:40.79]	Although it is usually true that studying for 4 hours is better than studying for 1,
[26:48.59]	there is still the question of how to use the 4 hours. For example,
[26:54.12]	is it better to study for 4 hours straight or to study for 1 hour a day for 4 days in a row?
[27:03.97]	The answer, as you may have suspected, is that it is better to spread out the study times.
[27:10.75]	This phenomenon through which we can learn more efficiently by dividing our practice time
[27:17.27]	is known as the distribution of practice effect.
[27:21.22]	Thus, our second rule of learning is this. It' s better to study fairly briefly but often.
[27:30.60]	But we are not finished yet. We haven' t considered how we should study over very short periods of time.
[27:39.59]	Let' s say you are trying to learn some new and rather difficult English vocabulary using a stack of cards.
[27:48.58]	Should you look at the same word in rapid succession or look at the word
[27:55.00]	and then have some delay before you look at it again?
[27:59.10]	The answer is it is better to space up the presentations of the word you are to learn.

[08:31.55]	Conversation One
[08:34.04]	W: Bob, do you know who I saw the other day? Old Jake, looking terribly depressed.
[08:41.30]	Did he get pensioned off at last?
[08:43.56]	M: Yes. They made him retire after 50 years at sea.
[08:48.23]	He is pretty upset about it, but what can you do? He really is pasted.
[08:54.32]	W: He is all alone, isn' t he?
[08:56.42]	M: Yes, his wife has been dead for years.
[09:00.08]	They had one daughter, Dories. But she went off to town as soon as she left school.
[09:06.29]	And he hasn' t heard from her since. I hear she is making good money as a model.
[09:11.49]	W: Maybe someone could get in touch with her. Get her to come back for a while to help?
[09:18.09]	M: I don' t suppose she come. She never got on with her father.
[09:23.11]	He is bit of a tough character and she is rather selfish.
[09:27.63]	Oh, I expect old Jake will get by.
[09:31.15]	He is healthy at least, comes into a clinic for a check regularly.
[09:36.17]	W: Are you his doctor?
[09:37.93]	M: No, my partner doctor Johnson is.
[09:41.16]	W: That badtempered old thing?
[09:43.45]	M: Oh, he isn' t badtempered. He just looks it.
[09:47.43]	He is an excellent doctor, taught me a lot, and he has a very nice family.
[09:53.99]	His wife invites me over there to supper every week. Very pleasant.
[09:58.86]	W: yes. I teach their daughter Pen at school.
[10:02.48]	She is a bit careless and lazy about her school work,
[10:06.61]	but a bright little thing and very popular with her age group.
[10:12.42]	Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you' ve just heard.

[11:57.92]	W: What can I do for you?
[11:59.76]	M: Well, unfortunately, there is a problem with the order we received from you yesterday.
[12:06.14]	It seems we haven' t seen the right quantity of manuals to support the telephone system.
[12:12.08]	W: Oh, dear, that' s bad news. I' m very sorry to hear that,
[12:17.28]	and you don' t know how many packs are without manuals?
[12:21.14]	M: No, because we haven' t opened every pack.
[12:24.19]	But in several of those that have been opened there are none, no manuals.
[12:29.96]	W: I' m very sorry about this inconvenience, Mr. Summerfield.
[12:34.60]	We' ll send out the manuals this afternoon by express mail entirely at our cost,
[12:41.23]	and the manuals should arrive tomorrow or the day after at the latest.
[12:46.65]	M: All of them, right?
[12:48.53]	W: Yes. It maybe that some have them already, but we cannot be sure.
[12:54.79]	So the best thing is to send out the manual for every pack.
[12:59.22]	M: Yes. Yes, I see. That would be great.
[13:02.62]	W: Please accept our apologies for this mixup.
[13:05.79]	I assure you we will do everything possible to find out why the mistake happened.
[13:11.00]	M: Right. Thanks for your swift action.
[13:13.42]	W: Not at all. Thank you and goodbye for now. Do call if there is anything else.

[28:10.19]	Now the passage will be read again
[28:13.75]	Around 120 years ago, Ebbinghaus began his study of memory.
[28:20.91]	He concentrated on studying how quickly the human mind can remember information.
[28:27.36]	One result of his research is known as the total time hypothesis,
[28:34.15]	which simply mean the amount you learn depends on the time you spend trying to learn it.
[28:41.26]	This can be taken as our first rule of learning.
[28:45.54]	Although it is usually true that studying for 4 hours is better than studying for 1,
[28:53.39]	there is still the question of how to use the 4 hours.
[28:58.55]	For example, is it better to study for 4 hours straight or to study for 1 hour a day for 4 days in a row?
[29:08.99]	The answer, as you may have suspected, is that it is better to spread out the study times.
[29:16.85]	This phenomenon through which we can learn more efficiently
[29:21.34]	by dividing our practice time is known as the distribution of practice effect.
[29:27.77]	Thus, our second rule of learning is this.
[29:32.03]	It' s better to study fairly briefly but often.
[29:37.11]	dào 30: 31. 00 wèi wú shēng duàn, kě lā guò
[30:31.46]	But we are not finished yet.
[30:33.46]	We haven' t considered how we should study over very short periods of time.
[30:38.92]	Let' s say you are trying to learn some new and rather difficult English vocabulary using a stack of cards.
[30:47.90]	dào 31: 57. 00 wèi wú shēng duàn, kě lā guò
[31:57.68]	Should you look at the same word in rapid succession
[32:01.76]	or look at the word and then have some delay before you look at it again?
[32:07.18]	The answer is it is better to space up the presentations of the word you are to learn.
