W: Yes, I am nearly worn out, I can't stand it any more.
M: What's up?
W: Being a working mother is so difficult. I have to do the chores and look after the kids and husband after a hard day's work.
M: I see. Well, I suggest you to think about a daycare center or hire a babysitter so that you can save some time.

听力原文:M: Where do you get your ideas from, Mrs. Rowling?
W: Where the idea for Harry Potter came from I really couldn't tell you. I was traveling on a train between Manchester and London and it just popped into my head. I spent four hours thinking about what Hogwarts would be like. By the time I got off at King's Cross many of the characters in the books had already been invented.
M: Are any of the characters in the books based on real people?
W: Tricky question! Hermione Granger is a little bit like I was at her age. Ron is little bit like my oldest friend and Professor Shape is a lot like one of my old teachers.
M: How long have you been writing?
W: Nearly all my life. I had written two novels before I had the idea for Harry, though I'd never tried to get them published.
M: Did you expect the Harry books to be this successful?
W: Never. I didn't expect lots of people to like them, in fact, I never really thought much apart from getting them published.
M: Any clues about the next book?
W: I don't want to give anything away, but I can tell you that the books are getting darker... Harry potter's going to have quite a bit to deal with as he gets older. Sorry if they get too frightening!
M: Thanks for your help.
W: You're welcome.

We found that bar at last. I didn ' t have to ask again, for there it was in big red neon letters over the window-Star Bar. There were some iron tables outside with plastic chairs around them. A few people sat around, looking at a portable television set that someone had brought out of the bar.
They were all in thin summer dresses or short shirts; even at that late hour it was stifling. Two thin dogs lay under one of the tables with their tongues out, and some of the women were fanning them-selves unenthusiastically (无精打采地 ) with magazines.
" He ' s not here , " I said , after a quick look around. The television was speaking out an adver- tisement for a detergent(洗衣粉) , and the people sitting round had their eyes glued to the picture of a woman proudly showing how white her husband' s underwear was after having been washed.They took no notice of us at all. .
" Well, what did you expect?" replied Fergus, yawning(打呵欠 ) . " It ' s only half past nine,
and he said he would be here at nine. You ought to know Graig by this time. He' ll turn up some-
time after ten. "

听力原文:W: David, you play the violin, don't you?
M: I did for about 6 years, but 1 haven't practiced much since I came to college. Why do you ask?
W: I'm organizing a performance on Wednesday night. We have a piano player and several bass players, but have only one violin player.
M: Who is directing the group?
W: Janet Hanson. Maybe you have heard of her. She plays the piano in the city orchestra and also directs three small local music groups.
M: Hm, I have my violin here. But I think I'll need to do a lot of work before my playing would sound any good at all.
W: Miss Hanson will give us individual instruction as well as teach us as a group. There' re only 10 of us now. Try to join us.
M: I'm afraid I'm not a good player.
W: Oh, David. I know you can do well. We're 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 7 o'clock tomorrow in Room 14 of the Fine Arts Building. I hope you can come to our regular weekly meeting.
