Exercise 2 听力原文M: Did you watch the television special about barnacles last night?
W: No, I missed it. What did you learn about them?
M: That they glue themselves to rocks in the ocean, shortly after birth. They also stay in the same place forever.
W: Right, have you ever tried removing one of those things. It would be easier to chip the rock away than to get the barnacle off.
M: Exactly, and that’s why scientists are trying to figure out what the barnacle’s glue is made of. It’s considered one of the strongest adhesives in nature.
W: And it would have the advantage of being about work on wet surfaces too.
M: Precisely. And because it’s natural protein, it probably wouldn’t be harmful to people like so many synthetic glues in use today.
W: Think of all the ways doctors and dentists could use such glue, mending broken bones, fastening false teeth.
M: There could be countless uses. Scientists hope to learn soon exactly how the glue is made, so that people can make use of it.

1. What prompted the conversation?
2. What did the man learn about barnacles?
3. According to the conversation, what are scientists trying to discover?

W: Jim, thank goodness, you’ve arrived. The class presentation started half an hour ago and I was just beginning to panic.
M: I am sorry. I’m late, Helen. This morning has been a real mess. I didn’t think I was going to make it here at all.
W: Why are you late? Our whole presentation depends on those graphs you are holding.
M: Yes, I know, I’ll tell you about it later. First, let’s see how we are doing for time. Two groups are still ahead of us, aren’t they? The presentation on the rights of the consumer and the analysis of the stock market. That means I’ve got about twenty minutes to thaw out.
W: You do look cold. What happened?
M: I’ve been standing outside in the Arctic temperature for over an hour waiting for a bus.
W: Over an hour! But I thought your apartment was only a ten-minute bus ride to campus.
M: Under normal conditions. But the bus delayed because of the weather and when I stepped into a drugstore to call home for a ride, the bus went by. As luck could have it, there was no one at home, so I had to wait another forty-five minutes for the next bus.
W: That’s Murphy’s law, isn’t it? What was it he said, “If anything can go wrong, it will.” Well, we’ve still got twenty minutes to gather our wits together.
M: We’d better stop talking. People are turning around and looking at us.

Exercise 3 听力原文
W: David, you play the cello, don't you?
M: I did it for about six years. But I haven't practiced much since I came to college. Why do you ask?
W: I'm signing up for a non-credit string ensemble course that meets once a week on Wednesday night. We have several violists, violas and two bass players, but only one cello.
M: Who's directing the group?
W: Janit Hanson. Maybe you've heard of her. She plays violin in the city orchestra, and she also directs three other small local music groups.
M: Mh, I have my cello here, but I think I would need to do a lot of work before my playing would sound any good at all.
W: Miss Hanson will give individual instruction as well as teach us as a group. There are only ten of us now. Try to join us. We are all on the intermediate level. And anyway you won't get a grade for the course.
M: I'll tell you what. I'll play a little this evening and see how it goes.
W: I'm sure you'll be fine, I'll expect to see you at seven o'clock tomorrow in room 14 at the fine arts building. I hope you can come to our regular meeting.

2. What instrument does the director of the group play in the city orchestra?
3. What is the level of musical proficiency of the most of the group members?

M: Lucia, I’ve been admiring that sculpture you have on your desk. It looks like a polar bear.
W: That’s right. It is a polar bear. It was made out of soap stone by an Inuit artist from northern Canada. The dark gray stone is easy to carve, and lines which look almost white in contrast can be made with hand tools.
M: I’ve seen other Inuit sculptures made from whale bone and wood. You can see by looking at this bear that the style seems quite abstract. And yet there is a realistic impression of the bear’s shape and stance.
W: Inuit sculptors usually do depict animals in just such a style. Their favorite subjects are the animals of northern Canada and Alaska, like polar bears, seals, caribou and whales. The Inuit hunt some of these animals for food.
M: Yes, I know. But the polar bear is their favorite because of its size, strength and agility.
W: That’s true. They recognize it as one of the most graceful swimmers and fishers of all animals, and most important the polar bear symbolizes all the skills the Inuit hunters expect of themselves for survival.
4. According to the conversation, in what part of Canada does the artist live?
5. What kind of art object are the people looking at?
6. Which animal do the Inuit people admire most?

Exercise 4 听力原文W: Hey, Joe, what's all this talk about the benefit walkathon this weekend?
M: Don't you know, most of the residents in Packer Hall are going to try to walk the seven miles from the engineering library, across campus and down to city hall, in an effort to raise money for the new children's hospital.
W: Sounds like a good idea. But I don’t understand where the money comes from.
M: Well, a few days before the walkathon, each participant goes around asking people to pledge just a certain amount of money for each mile that he or she expects to walk in the event. Then after the walkathon’s over, the participants go back to those same people, collect the money pledged and send it into the hospital.
W: So you mean if someone pledges, say, a dollar a mile, and you walk five miles, you get five dollars?
M: That's right. Of course, most of my friends aren't such big spenders, the biggest pledge I've gotten so far is 25 cents a mile.
W: And how many people have made pledges for you?
M: Eleven so far. Say, how about making it an even dozen?
W: Sure. If you do the same for me, the walkathon sounds like a perfect opportunity for me to break in my new pair of sport shoes.

1. Who is going to participate in the walkathon?
2. What is known about the course of the walkathon?
3. How much money has each of Joe's friends pledged to him?

M：Hi, Sarah, what’s up?
W: Oh, hi, I just got out of a history class. I had to give a presentation.
M: How did it go?
W: Terribly. I’m sure I made a fool of myself.
M: Why? Weren’t you prepared?
W: No, it’s not that. I just get so embarrassed and nervous whenever I’ve to speak in front of a group of people. I stand up and my face gets red and then I get even more nervous because I know everyone can see me blushing.
M: It is not so bad to blush.
W: I know, but it happens all the time. If the professor asks a question and I know the answer, I will blush like crazy if he calls on me. Doesn’t that ever happen to you?
M: No, not really. Maybe you should try to forget about the people. Look at something else in the room, like the exit sign.
W: I guess I could try that. But I doubt it will help.
M: you know we talked about this in psychology class. Blushing, even though it’s involuntary, is more or less a learned behavior.
W: What do you mean?
M: Oh, children hardly ever blush at all. And, among adults, supposedly women blush more than men.
W: I don’t know. But I had a friend in high school, Brian Smith. It was really easy to make him blush. He turned red whenever a waitress would ask him for his order.
M: I’m not that bad. Well, I’ve got to get going for my next class. I’ll talk to you later.

4. What’s the woman’s problem?
5. Why might looking at the exit sign help the woman?
6. What does the man say about the children?
7. Why does the man mention his friend Brian?
