Man: Yes, please. I need to get a message to him.
Woman: Of course. Is tomorrow morning soon enough？
Man: Well, actually it's rather urgent. I'm calling about the meeting of the Finance Committee. I've been having some serious problems with the new software, and I'm not sure if I will have all the spread sheets ready for our meeting tomorrow afternoon. Can you ask Paul if we can postpone the meeting and have it on Wednesday, which I think was one of the alternative dates we discussed？
Woman: Well, the best I can do is to contact him at home this evening.
Man: Yes, that's a good idea. Thanks. Er, I'm not available this evening, but if he'd like to change it to another day, could you ask him to call my home number and leave the details with my wife. And she will be in all evening. I will be grateful if he could do that…

听力原文：W: Good morning, Prof. Harkins. I hope I am not disturbing you？
M: Not at all, Miranda. Come right in. I'm always in my office in the morning.
W: I need an extension for the paper.
M: Why？
W: It would be due on the last day of exam period, which is this Friday,that's two days away.
M: Don't you think you could have the paper finished then？
W: I haven't even started it yet and I want to change my topic. You see, I've been sick since last Saturday with my left ear. I just checked out of the hospital this morning.
M: So you were in hospital for four days.
W: Yes, from Saturday till today, Wednesday.
M: This paper is meant to substitute for a final exam. Generally, for an illness like this, we can postpone the exam by the number of days the student has been ill, in your case, by four days.
W: That means I'll be able to hand in my paper next Tuesday instead of Friday？
M: That's right, but first you have to fill out this form, giving the name of the course, your reasons for needing the extension and so on, then take the request to the hospital to have it signed by the doctor, then bring it back to me today, and I'll have a copy sent to the dean.
W: Thank you very much. I'll see you late this afternoon with the completed form.
M: I'm glad you are feeling better.
W: Thank you, Prof. Harkins.

Spend or Save？ Do you feel as confused as I do with this question, "Should I spend or should I save？" I think that the messages we get from our environment seem to defy common sense and contradict each other. Here's a familiar example: If we don't pay our credit card bill on time, we get demanding, nasty emails from the credit card company saying something like: "Your failure to pay is unacceptable. Pay immediately or you'll be in trouble!" Then, as soon as we pay, we get a follow-up email in a charming tone telling us how valuable a customer we are and encouraging us to resume spending. Which depiction is correct: a failing consumer in trouble or a valued customer？ The gap between these two messages is enormous. The paradox is that every day we get two sets of messages at odds with each other. One is the "permissive" perspective, "Buy, spend, get it now. You need this!" The other we could call an "upright" message, which urges us, "Work hard and save. Suspend your desires. Avoid luxuries. Control your appetite for more than you truly need." This message comes to us from many sources: from school, from parents, even from political figures referring to "traditional values". Hard work, family loyalty, and the capacity to postpone desires are core American values that have made our country great. It's been calculated that by the age of 18, the average American will have seen 600,000 ads; by the age of 40, the total is almost one million. Each advertisement is doing its utmost to influence our diverse buying decisions, from the breakfast cereal we eat to which cruise line we will use for our vacation. There is no shortage of ideas and things to buy! Now, of course, we don't remember exactly what the products were, but the essential message is cemented into our consciousness, "It's good to satisfy your desires. You should have what you want. You deserve the best. So, you should buy it – now!" A famous advertisement said it perfectly, "I love me. I'm a good friend to myself. I do what makes me feel good. I derive pleasure from nice things and feel nourished by them. I used to put things off. Not anymore. Today I'll buy new ski equipment, look at new compact cars, and buy that camera I've always wanted. I live my dreams today, not tomorrow." What happens as we take in these contradictory but explicit messages？ What are the psychological and social consequences of this campaign to control our spending habits？ On one hand, we want more things because we want to satisfy our material appetite. Most of us derive pleasure from treating ourselves. On the other hand, a little voice inside us echoes those upright messages: "Watch out, take stock of your life, don't let your attention get scattered. Postpone your desires. Don't fall into debt. Wait! Retain control over your own life. It will make you stronger."
