听力原文:M: What's Neil going to do when he leaves school?
W: Until a few months ago he was going to go to university, but he's changed his mind. Now he reckons he's going to make it in the pop world.
M: And how do you parents feel about that?
W: We think he's making an enormous mistake.
M: But surely he can go back to his studies if his music career fails.
W: That's true, but once he gets a taste of freedom, he'll find it more difficult to go back to college. I just think it's such a waste m in three years' time, he'll have got his degree and he'll still be young enough to try out the music business. At least if it doesn't work out he'll have a qualification behind him.
M: Have you discussed this with him?
W: Of course, but he's made up his mind. We're just hoping that he'll get out of his system and then come to his sense and go back to his studies. When I left school I didn't go on to university, and I've regretted it ever since. I just don't want him to make the same mistake as I did.
M: Will you support him while he's trying to be a pop singer?
W: You mean financially? No. He won't be living at home, and we can't afford to pay for him to live in London, so it's up to him to make it work.

B.Go t6 a music school.
C.Start his music career as a pop singer.
D.Start a business in the music world.
听力原文:W: Have you found a job yet?
M: No, and I'm getting discouraged. I went to the job market yesterday, but no one was really interested in hiring an English major.
W: I know what you mean. I was told by many of the companies there that they are looking for people with other skills. Fortunately, I am good at computing. I think I have a job lined up.
M: Tell me about it.
W: The first people I talked to said they were very interested in me, because I am familiar with Word Perfect. When they interviewed me, I was able to speak English better than the boss and he was very impressed with my combination of skills.
M: I was hoping to find a sales job with an import-export company.
W: You'd be good at that kind of job. Your English is very good. My older brother works for a Chinese American joint venture in Guangzhou and he is doing very well. He wanted me to go down there and work with him, but I think I would rather take this job here. If you would like, I will call him and ask him to help you find a job there.
M: I would really appreciate that. I know several of our classmates have found jobs there. It's a long way from home, but I hear the pay is good there. Thank you for your help.
W: Don' t mention it.
(20)
A.Because he was not interested in any job in the market.
B.Because he is not skillful at computing.
C.Because he is an English major.

听力原文:M: Welcome to my house!

M: (19)I first became engaged in Do-it-yourself work several years ago. You see, my son Paul is disabled since childhood. (21)He's always in the wheelchair and(20)I just had to make some changes for him to the house.
W: Then, what sort of changes did you make?
M: First of all, some practical things to help Paul. Just imagine the problems a disabled person would have in your house. We need a large house with wide corridors so that Paul could move from one room to another as he like.
W: What else did you do?
M: By the time I'd altered everything for Paul, Do-it—yourself work had become a hobby of mine. I really enjoyed doing things with my own hands.
W: What are you working on now?
M: I've just finished the kitchen. (21)Now I'm building an extension so that Paul will have a large room on the ground floor where he can work.
W: I heard that you have got a prize of $10 000 in the Do-it-yourself Competition. How are you going to spend it?
M: (22)I'm hoping to start my oven business soon so that I can convert ordinary houses for disabled people. I think I've become an expert on the subject.

B.For seven years.
C.For a year or two.
