e been under a lot of pressure lately. W: Whats up？ M: Ive got a million things to do. Im busy at work. Im working on the house too, you know. Im trying to fix it up. I need to finish it before winter. Just lots of deadlines. W: Any way I can help？ M: Thanks, but not really. Its just things I have to do. W: Well, you need to manage that stress a little better. Are you getting any exercise？ M: Who has time？ W: You really should ride a bicycle to the store, or walk to work a couple of days a week, or go swimming at the community centre. It helps me to get exercise when Im busy. M: That is a good suggestion. Its just the time, you know. Im always thinking of what I should be doing. W: No wonder you cant sleep. A lot of people learn to meditate or learn yoga. Meditation and yoga are supposed to be good ways to deal with stress. M: Yoga？ Maybe Ill call the community centre. They might have some classes there. W: You know, another thing you can do is to take vitamins. You use up a lot of vitamins and you dont get them in your meals all the time. They wont help the stress, but they might help your body handle it better. You really should take vitamins every day. M: Yeah, I should get some. Thanks.

these torrents of passion flowing through you. Your job, as captain of your soul, is to erect dams to keep these passions in check. Your job is to just say no to laziness, temptation, greed, drug use and the other sins. Praying could really help. They could help you identify sin. Preachers could persuade you to exercise the willpower you need to guard against temptation. These days that model is out of fashion. You usually cant change your behavior. by simply resolving to do something. If that were true, New Years resolutions would actually work. Your willpower is not like a dam that can block the torrent of self-indulgence. Its more like a muscle, which tires easily. People can change their lives, but ordering change is not simple because many things, even within ourselves, are beyond our direct control.

always seems to be a queue. Im writing a report for my economics class. How about you？ M: Im still working on my essay on environmental science. I need to check out a reference. W: You know, when I first started doing my report I was frightened to use these computer catalogues. I feared something would go wrong. M: But theyre so useful. You can see at a glance what books you need and if theyre checked out or not. W: I know that now, but at the beginning I really missed the card catalogues. But anyway I still have the same problem I used to have, knowing what to look up! M: Yes, I agree, its the same for me. Last week I must have wasted two hours looking for information on a topic I was working on. W: Really？ What was the topic？ M: It was about the effect of smoking by parents on their childrens sleep. I looked up sleeping, child psychology, child development, problems in social work, childrens medical problems, and I cant remember what else. In the end, I had to go back and ask my tutor for help. W: You know, I took a study skills class because I thought it would help me locate information, and all I learned was how to read the cards, which wasnt of much help! My real problem is knowing what card to look up. M: Yes, and that takes thinking! Pity the computer cant do that for us. W: Maybe it will some day. Oh, look, theres a free computer now. M: Yes, thanks. See you! Questions 13 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 13. What is the mans purpose to come here？ 14. What can we learn from the conversation？ 15.

one of the highest scores. So, what can I do for you？ M: Dr Wilson, Im really worried about the paper due tomorrow — you know that case study. So far I havent done a thing beyond gathering the data, and I have two more midterms tomorrow morning. I was hoping youd give me an extension till Friday. W: Well, Dan, when I assigned the paper during the first week of the semester, I emphasised that late papers would be punished. Youre free to turn in your case study late, but Ill have to lower your grade for it. If I gave you extension, it wouldnt be fair to the other students. Youre a good writer, Dan. It shouldnt take that much time to turn your data into a solid report. M: But I havent even made my outline yet, and Im having a hard time with the computer analysis of the data. W: It sounds to me like youre just putting it off. M: I really am working on it, but I just cant get it finished and Ive got to study for two other tests by tomorrow afternoon! But I might be able to get it done after class...maybe...by midnight tomorrow. W: Hmm…I didnt specify what time the paper was due. But Im leaving campus at 4:00 p.m. tomorrow, and they lock this building at 11:00 p.m. M: Still, if its under your door when you get in Thursday morning, you cant say I turned it in late, right？ W: Right. Questions 13 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 13. What does Dan want Dr Wilson to do？ 14. What is one reason Dan gives for his problem？ 15.

y course？ Dr. Carter Yes, come in, Amy. But anyway, I havent got long, because I have to give a lecture in half an hour. Amy Alright. I would just like to finish talking about the problem I have with you. think it wont take a long time. Dr. Carter Sure. Whats the problem？ Sit down. Amy Well, Im having problems with one of my subject—economics. Im not doing very well and Im a bit concerned about it. Dr. Carter You havent been doing too well, thats true. I think you failed your last assignment, didnt you？ Amy Ive failed the last one and the one before and I only just scraped through the first one. The problem is that Im not very interested in economics. I think thats why I dont really try and then... Dr. Carter So what are you saying, Amy？ Amy I really feel that I should drop economics and pick up Spanish again. Dr. Carter And have you ever dealt with Spanish？ Amy Yeah, I did first year Spanish last year, and I got really good marks. Dr. Carter So here, I really dont understand why you took up economics this year then. Amy Well, everyone told me that economics was more important than a language and I felt itd be really useful for further study. Dr. Carter It seems to not be your interest. And are you studying Spanish by yourself？ Amy Well, at first I thought I could keep up my Spanish on my own with a private teacher. The problem is that I just dont seem to have time to do everything. Dr. Carter Surely Spanish isnt too time consuming. Amy No, it wouldnt be except that I um, Ive got a part-time job in a restaurant three nights a week...I cant give that up because I really need the money. I just um, cant fit it all in. Dr. Carter Oh, you must have spent a lot on that. Do you think such a part-time job puts too much pressure on your curricular performance？ Amy To some extent, it does definitely. Dr. Carter We could offer you extra help with the economics if you are willing to stick to it. Amy No, really Dr. Carter, I dont think it would be any good. I want to change. Dr. Carter Yes, I can see that your mind is made up. Well, I have no objection, especially as you have a background in Spanish, but youll have to go and see Dr. Brown in the Spanish Department and see whether hell accept you or not. Amy Ok, Ill go and see him first. Would you be able to have a word with him about it as well, Dr. Carter？ Dr. Carter You can tell him to phone me for a reference if he wants to. I must get to my lecture now. Let me know how you get on. Amy Thanks, Dr. Carter. I will.Narrator Listen to a conversation between a student and her tutor. Now get ready to answer the questions.
