录音原文
(Text 1)
M: Jenny, you can just drop me here.
W: But we are two streets away from the office.
M: It’s fine. I had a big breakfast, and feel like a bit of walk.
(Text 2)
W: Hello, George. You look tired. Didn’t sleep well last night?
M: No, not at all. I had to work flat out to meet the project deadline. Now I’m really feeling a bit run-down.
(Text 3)
W: John, can’t we go someplace and talk? It’s so noisy in here.
M: Well, there is a small park across the street. It’s usually not crowded at this time of day.
(Text 4)
W: We’ve got to do something about the neighbor’s dog.
M: Why? Has he been into your flower garden again?
W: The flower garden, the garbage can and yesterday he started digging holes in the yard.
(Text 5)
M: Hello, we have a reservation in the name of Mr. Johns. Is there any table by the window?
W: Sorry, we’ve got this corner table for you. It’s quiet here, not close to the door.
(Text 6)
W: Dave, don’t forget we are invited out to dinner tonight.
M: Oh yeah. I almost forgot. What time?
W: 7:30. We should leave the house by 6:30. You know how bad the traffic is that time of night.
M: It’s informal, isn’t it?
W: Yeah. You can wear your new sports jacket, the one I got you as an anniversary gift.
M: Okay. Well, I’ve got to go. I’ll try to get home a little earlier today.
W: Good.
(Text 7)
M: We need to decide exactly when we’re going to move. Any suggestions?
W: I think July would be the best time. Our sales are always down that month. We could move all the office equipment at a weekend—do everything at once.
M: I think a weekend’s too short. Maybe we should do it department by department.
W: What do you mean?
M: Well, each week a different department will move. That way, there will always be people here to handle customer inquiries, phone calls, and so on.
W: Hmm, that’s a good idea.
(Text 8)
W: So, Mr. Peter Sayles, I’ve been curious to know what were the early connections in your life that led you into the art field.
M: My grandfather was an art dealer in Munich. They had a great museum in Munich. He took me to the museum. And I responded very strongly to what I saw on the walls there. I learned about art from him. I learned about looking at art from him. I think that’s what really got me started. Then, many years later, after I got out of the army, I went to study art history at the University of Chicago.
W: Tell us more about your experiences of looking at art with your grandfather.
M: Well, we looked at the famous paintings by the great artists like Rembrandt, Botticelli and Albrecht Dürer. Rubens’ paintings were my favorites. Yes, I remember these things. This was when I was between 10 and 15. When I was 14, I was so anxious to see more art that a friend of mine and I bicycled across the Alps to see Venice. That was a big adventure.
(Text 9)
W: Hi, John! Haven’t seen you for ages!
M: Hi, Susan! Fancy meeting you here on the train!
W: How is your college life?
M: What can I say? I’ve survived.
W: What happened?
M: Well, early last March I started doing a part-time job in a law firm. A few weeks before I had started writing my term paper. I thought I could finish it by August.
W: That was a pretty good idea trying to have some work experience.
M: For the first three weeks, you know, I tried. I got up early and worked for an hour on my paper before going to work. But work was so fun, I met tons of new people and soon I couldn’t find even a minute for my paper. So, I had to quit my part-time job and finally finished my paper in October.
W: Well, it’s never too late to mend. It’s kind of hard to find a balance between what you have to do and what you want to do.
M: Yeah, it’s really important for me to balance study and work. And I think I should learn to exercise some self-control.
(Text 10)
M: Being an athlete is very fun, painful and exciting. Every time I come to the track, I feel like I’m out of this place. This is Botswana National Stadium. This is where I train. When I saw Usain Bolt running in 2012 London Olympics, I was amazed. Just watching him run got me motivated. I quit being a chess player and started to run. I went to the 2016 Olympics, and went to the finals at the age of 18. And, wow, I finished fifth. It was a dream come true to me, but I still wanted more. The training is super hard, but the hardest part for me is that I got an injury—an injury which may take me out for years. For a period of time, as a young athlete, I didn’t know what to do. I lost focus. But now, I’m back on the track. I really want to be there at the Olympics, and do what I did before, do much, much greater. I don’t care about the gold. I don’t care about the silver. I want to do my best. You know, take everything and show it to the world.
