听力原文：M: Hi, Wendy. What are you doing for summer break?

W: I would like to Italy and work at a restaurant in Florence. My uncle owns a restaurant and he will offer me a job for the summer.

M: That would be a wonderful summer.

W: Yes, I really want to go. The problem is my father had a heart attack three weeks ago. He is out of the hospital now, but he cannot do much around the house. So I need to help my mother. It is such a dilemma.

M: Yes, I could see that would be a very difficult decision...

W: What about you, Steven? What are your plans for the summer?

M: Well, I have a dilemma, too. I would love to go to Nepal and volunteer with a NGO that could require me to instruct local residents in engineering skills. However, If I do get accepted, I won't be making any money and I need money to return to university for my final year in September.

W: I can see your problem. Can't you borrow money from financial aid for your final year?

M: Probably, but I hate to start off with a lot of debt. Engineering fees are rising by 10 percent next year.

W: No, but if you have the opportunity to take an interesting job in Nepal, and be of service, I think that would be wonderful.

M: You are probably right. I appreciate your advice.

听力原文：M: The summer holiday is coming, but I really don't know what to do. There doesn't seem to beany jobs available.

W: Why don't you try house-sitting? Last summer Cindy was a house sitter for the Smiths when they went away on vacation. They hired Cindy to stay in their house because they didn't want it left empty.

M: You mean they paid Cindy just to live in their house?

W: It wasn't that easy. She had to water the house plants, mow the lawn, and even take care of the pets.

M: I guess it is a little like baby-sitting, except you're taking care of a house instead of children.

W: The student employment office still has a few jobs posted.

M: Do I just have to fill oat an application?

W: You have to have an interview with the homeowner and provide three references at least.

M: That seems like a lot of trouble for a summer job.

W: Well, the homeowner wants some guarantee that they can trust the house sitter. You know they want to make sure you're not the type who'll hold wild parties in their house, or bring a group of friends in with you.

M: I see. House sitters who do that sort of thing probably aren't paid then.

W: Usually they're paid anyway just because the homeowners don't want to make a fuss. But if the homeowner reports it, the house sitter won't be able to get another job easily. So why don't you apply?

M: I think I will. Thank you.

听力原文：W: Hi! Welcome to Rental Property Management, How may I help you?

M: Yes. I'm interested in renting a two-bedroom apartment.

W: Okay. Have a seat, please.

M: Thank you.

W: My name is Ann Smith. I'm the rental agent here.

M: I'm Bill Harrington.

W: Hi, Mr. Harrington. So that we will be able to match your needs better. I would like to ask you a few questions before I show you what we have available. First, what price range were you interested in?

M: Somewhere between $400-$450 a month.

W: Okay. Did you have a specific location in mind?

M: Well, I would like to live somewhere near the university. Or at least on a bus line.

W: And when would you like to move in?

M: On the first of the month.

W: Okay. Are there any other amenities which you would like to have? For example, a dishwasher, a balcony, a swimming pool or central air conditioning?

M: I would definitely like to have a dishwasher, and with summers like these, central air! A balcony is not that important. Oh, yes, and two bathrooms would be nice.

W: Okay. Here are photos of the apartments we have available which fit your preferences.

M: Thank you. This one on Broadway Avenue looks nice. I would like to see that one. And the one on Main Street.

W: Sure. Let me get the keys and we will go look at them. If you choose to rent one of them, we will need a damage deposit of $250. You will be responsible for all the utilities. You can sign a lease today, if you like.

M: Great! Thank you.
