Why is he not allowed to stay here？ , it’s his home.

听力原文：M: Hi, Mary, I was wondering if you're free tomorrow night.

W: Well, Mike, I guess I am. Why do you ask?

M: I have just gotten a pair of pre-sale "Star Wars" movie tickets from a friend and was thinking of inviting you along for the opening premier. Are you interested?

W: Yeah, definitely! Thanks for inviting me!

M: It's a pleasure.

W: I hear that the film is directed by George Lucas. The story goes that Luke Skywalker leaves his home planet, teams up with other rebels, and tries to save Princess Leia from the evil clutches of Darth Vader.

M: Yeah. The conclusion is culminated as the Rebels, including Skywalker and flying ace Wedge Antilles make an attack on the Empire's most powerful and ominous weapon, the Death Star.

W: I really wanted to watch "Star Wars" on the opening day but the pre-sale tickets were sold out. How did you manage to get hold of them?

M: A friend of mine works at the corporate headquarters of "Pepsi", which is a major sponsor of the movie. He was able to get the tickets for free, and then he sold 2 to me for $50 a piece.

W: You paid $50 for each ticket? That's a huge premium over the regular price!

M: Not really, considering the fact that other people are paying as high as $200 each on the "black market". Besides, I knew you were really looking forward to watching "Star Wars" on the opening day.

W: Wow, I'm really honored you went through all this trouble just for my sake. I really appreciate that. So, what time are we going?

M: Well, let me see. The movie starts at 10 p.m. We should get there at least I hour earlier because there'll be a big line. I could pick you up at your house at 8, if that's OK with you.

W: 8 o'clock? That's fine with me.

M: Okay.

W: So I'll see you tomorrow at 8. Bye.

M: See you. Bye.

Why is this happening? There is too 69 carbon dioxide in the air. 70 oil, gas and coal burn, they create large amounts of carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide lets 71 enter the earth's atmosphere and 72 the earth. However, it doesn't let as much heat 73 the atmosphere and enter space. It's like a blanket. The heat

听力原文：W: Hello. Is this the registration office?

M: Yes. This is Herbert speaking. How can I help you?

W: Well, I have a slight problem here. I have been in Chemistry 302B class for a month, and today Prof. Smith told me I wasn't registered in his latest class list. I thought all the while I was registered in his class and this really comes as a surprise.

M: Well, why don't you give me your student ID and I'll just check to see if you are officially registered.

W: 39241.

M: Just a minute. And you are Alice Jones, right?

W: Yes, that's me.

M: Alice, the computer shows that you are registered in Chemistry 302A and that's Dr. Nelson's class. Perhaps you have mixed up the two.

W: Oh no, I thought I'd made a switch from Nelson to Smith. How did this confusion occur? I dropped Nelson's class and switched to Smith's in the first week. I still have the add/drop form. with me.

M: In that case, I suggest you come to the registration office with the add/drop form. and we'll try to sort it out for you. I don't rule out there could have been a mistake that occurred during the add/drop process.

W: I'll be there first thing in the morning to sort out this mess. You know, I wouldn't want to switch professors when I'm now half way through.

M: I can understand that．See you tomorrow．
