听力原文:M: Are you looking forward to your trip to Canada, Susan?
W: I can't wait to see Canada, Jason, but I'm scared stiff of the journey. My husband insists on flying, but I want to sail. Planes make me nervous.
M: There's nothing to be frightened of. How many planes fly across the Atlantic every day?
W: I've no idea. Hundreds, I suppose.
M: And how often do you hear of a crash? Once or twice a year?
W: Yes, but aero-planes fly so high and fast that once is enough.
M: There are more road accidents per day than air deaths per year. Air transport is really safe compared with road transport.
W: I still prefer to go by sea. Ships may not travel fast but as least you can relax. I'd love a trip on a luxury liner like the Queen Elizabeth II.
M: It's fine if you're a good sailor, but have you ever traveled far in a rough sea?
W: No. I've only been in a boat once. I sailed down the River Thames on a sightseeing tour, but in any case I'd rather be sea-sick than dead.

Waiter: Yes, Sir.
Husband: I'd like to speak to the manager please . . . immediately if possible.
Waiter: I'll see if he's available.
Husband: It's absolutely incredible. It's the last time I come here, I can tell you.
Wife: All right dear. Calm down !
Manager: Good evening, Sir, Madam. Is anything wrong?
Husband: I'm afraid there is. The service here has been terrible. We had to wait forty minutes for the soup and then it was stone cold.
Manager: I see. Well, I'm sorry to hear that. The trouble is we' re a bit short-staffed at pre-sent. Urn, mainly through illness.
Husband: All right, but that's no excuse. My wife asked for chicken and she was brought fish instead. It's just incredible!
Wife: Yes, and my beans weren't cooked properly, and my husband's steak was completely burnt underneath! It wasn't a very enjoyable meat at all.
Manager: H mm. This is most regrettable.
Husband: Look at this bill. We've been overcharged. We only had one dessert, not two. Can you check the bill again, please.
Manager: I do apologize, sir.
Husband: And I'm afraid I'm not going to pay the service charge as I don't feel satisfied with it.
Manager: I'll pass on your complaints to the people concerned, and check your bill right away, Sir.
Husband: Thank you.

One day a lady wrote to a doctor inviting him to have dinner at her house. The doctor wrote an answer, but he didn't write clearly and the lady could not read it.
"What shall I do?" she said to her husband, "I don't know whether he is coming or not. I don't want to give him a telephone call and say that I can't read his writing." Her husband thought a moment, then he had an idea. "Thank you" said his wife. "That's a very good idea."
