听力原文：Man: Lorna, you and your husband opened this health club here last summer. Can you tell me something about the club?

Woman: Yes, well we offer a choice of facilities—gym, sunbed, sauna—as well as our regular fitness classes. And there's a whole food bar for refreshments afterwards.

M: And does it cost a lot? I mean most people think health clubs are really expensive.

W: Actually our rates are really quite competitive. Since we only started last July, we've kept them down to attract customers. It's only $30 a year to join in. Then an hour in the gym cost $2.50—the same as half an hour on the sunbed. Sauna is $1.50 for half an hour.

M: And is the club doing well?

W: Well so far yes, it's doing really well. I had no idea it was going to be such a success actually. We're both very pleased. The sunbed's so popular especially with the over 65s, that we're getting another one in August.

M: What kind of people join the club?

W: We have people of all ages here, from small children to old-age pensioners, though of course the majority, about three-quarters of our members are in their 20s and 30s. They come in their lunch hour, to use the gym mostly, or after work, while the youngsters come when school finishes around half past three or four.

M: What about the old pensioners?

W: They are usually around in the mornings, when we offer them special reduced items—for sauna plus sunbed, it's only $2 which is less than half price actually. It doesn't affect our profits really—only about 5% of our members are retired.

11.Which one is Not the facility offered by the health club?

12.How much will it cost for an hour on the sunbed?

13.When will the majority of its members come to club?

听力原文：W: Hello, Jimmy, nice to meet you!

M: Hi, Sandy, can I have a word with you? Just a couple of minutes.

W: Sure. What's up? This morning I saw you in the telephone booth making a phone call. You looked a bit serious and worried.

M: Well, I got to use your advice Sandy. You know the science project that we have to finish by next Friday?

W: Yes, it put a little bit of pressure on all of us.

M: Well, I'm having trouble finding out information yet. I have been to the college library, but I couldn't find any books there.

W: Neither did I! But I asked my friend to borrow some from the main library of Hurl University. They have a good selection.

M: Lucky you! Would you mind if I borrow one of them for a few days?

W: Yes, sure. I have nearly finished with them. If you drop in sometime tomorrow afternoon, I think I can let you have all of them, provided of course, that you return them before next Wednesday, or my friend will be fined by the university library for those over-due books.

M: That would be great! Thanks a lot! I'll see you tomorrow afternoon then. Bye-bye!

听力原文： Tom: Thanks a lot, Jane, thank you for your timely advice during that company trip last week. Otherwise, I would end up buying that worthless piece of so-called souvenir and regretting my purchasing all day long.

Jane: My pleasure, Tom. Anyway, I hate wasting money on worthless things.

Tom: That's an extremely attractive point in your character. My wife used to waste a lot of money. Stick to that, and you will get married in no time.

Jane: Oh, I have had plenty of offers, But you know it's a terrible thing to be a poor man's wife when you have been accustomed to a clean, decent job. I have seen so many bright jolly girls turn into dirty old drudges through getting married.

Tom: Don't be afraid of dirt. Mine is a clean job, but I often wish I weren't so set on clean collars that they make their suns clerks that they would be stronger, and earn more money as navies, those road constructions workers, you know. Nowadays, they earn more than we office clerks do. I wish I were a navy instead of writing guide books.

Jane: Well, what's there to prevent you?

Tom: I am not trained to manual work. Half an hour of it would make me wish myself dead. And five minutes of my work will produce a strike among the navies. I am only a writing machine, just as a navy as a digging machine.

Jane: I don't think the world is fair and rightly arranged, do you?

Tom: We must take the world as we find. It's we that are not rightly arranged.

听力原文：M: Hi, Ann, welcome back. How's your trip to the states?

W: Very busy. I had a lot of meetings. So, of course, I didn't have much time to see New York.

M: What a pity. Actually I have a trip there myself next week.

W: Do you? Then take my advice. Do the well-being in the air program. It really works.

M: Oh, I read about that in a magazine. You say it works?

W: Yes. I did the program on the flight to the States. And when I arrived in New York, I didn't have any problem. No jet leg at all. On the way back I didn't do it, and I felt terrible.

M: You are joking.

W: Not at all. It really made a lot of difference.

M: Hmm... So, what did you do?

W: Well, I didn't drink any alcohol or coffee and I didn't eat any meat or rich food. I drink a lot of water and fruit juice and I eat the meals on the well-being menu. They are lighter. They have fish, vegetables and noodles, for example. And I did some of the exercises in the program.

M: Exercises? On a plane?

W: Yes. I didn't do many, of course. There isn't much space on the plane.

M: How many passengers did the exercises?

W: Not many.

M: And how much champagne did they drink?

W: A lot. It was more popular than mineral water.

听力原文：A: Well, as an overseas student, I suppose you don't have a great deal of earning power, so inflation must have affected you to some extent.

B: Yes, it affects me in that my parents aren't able to afford to pay my tuition. So I've been forced into taking part of my study time to devote to earning as much as I can to help pay for that.

A. You mean you've been taking part-time jobs? What kind of jobs are they?

B: There are quite a number of part-time jobs available for overseas students here. There are the student Cafeteria, the university libraries, and of course, the summer course programs offered by the University Education Centre. Presently, I'm working in the university bookstore, the Second-hand Book Division.

A: But that kind of cuts into your studies, I suppose.

B: It does to a certain extent. But I've found that with the added pressure of having to earn money, I use my study time. more effectively and get more done.

W: Hey? Hold on, Peter. I thought you said your organization was non-violent. What do you mean by "harass"?

M: Well, we circle round and round the ships and get in the way when they try to dump the drums of nuclear waste in the sea. We talk to the men and try to change, you know, yell at them to stop. We generally make ourselves as much of a nuisance possible.

听力原文： W: Hello, Mike. Did you enjoy the weekend in Paris?

M: Yes, it was great, Morn. Look! I brought you back some wine and here are some cigarettes for Dad.

W: Thank you dear. That's lovely, but you needn't have gone to that expense.

M: I don't often buy you presents, but I don't often go to Paris either.

W: But you have been to London and Edinburgh, haven't you? Anyway, tell me about your trip. What did you do with yourself?

M: Well, we had quite a good flight and we got to the Hotel at almost 7 o'clock. We had a super dinner and I went to the nightclub.

W: Did any one else go with you?

M: No, no one else wanted to come. The others were too tired. Then on Saturday morning, we did some shopping and of course we went to the international rugby match in the afternoon. The match were drawn, but England were lucky not to lose.

W: Where else did you go? Didn't you look around the Louvre?

M: Yes, but it was a lightning visit. And we went up to the Effiel Tower too, of course. But we didn't have time for much else. We were cold. We were not to be late to check in at the airport. We had to rush like mad. When we got there, we found we needn't have hurried because the take off had been delayed for an hour.

W: What else did you buy then?

M: Let me see, a few souvenirs, some postcards, a bottle perfume for Janet, nothing much else, because I ran out of money. By the way, can you lend me a couple of pounds until next week, Mom?
