听力原文：W: Hey, Jack! How are you these days？
M: Not very well. I always feel tired. What's even worse, I often feel depressed for no reason. It seems that I feel tired of the Internet.
W: You？ Tired of the Internet？ Don't you spend at least five hours a day on the net？
M: Yes, I do. But there are times when the Net bored me to tears, however, I don't know what to do when I'm not sitting in front of the computer.
W: Oh, poor guy. I think your depression has something to do with the Internet.
M: Will the Internet cause depression？
W: Several days ago, I attended a lecture. The professor told us that Internet use appears to the cause a decline in psychological health, according to the research at Carnegie Mellon University. They started the research two years ago and found that even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less frequently.
M: I do not understand. I think at least the Net should be healthier than television. You know, when watching TV, we are like fools staring at the screen. But on Internet, you have absolute freedom to choose your information and you can communicate with your friends by emails, or by chatting on line, or by leaving messages on BBS.

B．He is sick.
C．He is crazy about Internet.
D．He feels depressed for no reason.
In an era when most of us seem to be working more hours than ever (provided we're still lucky enough to have jobs), 17, 000 people in Utah have embarked on an unusual experiment. A year ago, the Beehive State became the first in the U. S. to mandate a four-day workweek for most state employees, closing offices on Fridays in an effort to reduce energy costs. The move is different from a furlough in that salaries were not cut; nor was the total amount of time employees work. (9) But on that fifth (glorious) day, they don't have to commute, and their offices don't need to be heated, cooled or lit.
After 12 months, Utah's experiment has been deemed so successful that a new acronym could catch on: TGIT (thank God it's Thursday). (10) Altogether, the initiative will cut the state's greenhouse-gas emissions by more than 12, 000 metric tons a year. (11) "It's beneficial for the environment and beneficial for workers," says Lori Wadsworth, a professor at Brigham Young University who helped survey state employees. "People loved it." Those who didn't tended to have young children and difficulty finding extended day care.
(12) Private industry is interested as well—General Motors has just instituted a workweek of four 10-hour days at several of its plants. "There is a sense that this is ready to take off," says R. Michael Fischl, an associate dean at the University of Connecticut's law school, which is organizing a symposium on four-day weeks.
The advantages of a so-called 4-10 schedule are clear: less commuting, lower utility bills. (13) By staying open for more hours most days of the week, Utah's government offices have become accessible to people who in the past had to miss work to get there in time. (14) Plus, fears that working 10-hour days would lead to burnout turned out to be unfounded—Wadsworth says workers took fewer sick days and reported exercising more on Fridays. "This can really make a difference for work-life balance," says Jeff Herring, Utah's executive director for human resources.
Of course, in the age of the BlackBerry, fewer days in the office may not make much of a difference in terms of workload. But as energy prices start rising again, it makes sense to be flexible and find savings where we can.
A．The disadvantage of 4-10 schedule is clear.
B．And perhaps not surprisingly, 82 % of state workers say they want to keep the new.
C．The state found that its compressed workweek resulted in a 13% reduction in energy use and estimated that employees saved as much as $ 6 million in gasoline costs.
D．And there have been unexpected benefits as well, even for people who aren't state employees.
E．They pack in 40 hours by starting earlier and staying later four days a week.
F．Managers from around the world have gotten in touch with Utah officials, and cities and towns including El Paso, Texas, and Melbourne Beach, Fla., are following the state's lead.
G．With the new 4-10 policy, lines at the department of motor vehicles actually got shorter.
H．A year ago, the Beehive State became the first in the U. S. to mandate a four-day workweek for most state employees, closing offices on Fridays in an effort to reduce energy costs.

Dear Mr. Richardson,
I am writing to complain the heating system of the apartment which I rent from you, My name is Jasmine and I rent this apartment four months ago, the contract No. is YJ2005225.
Actually, the heating system has stopped working for about two weeks and I phoned your employee one week ago. Your employee promised me that he would repair the system within three days.
However, seven days have passed and no one came to my apartment to fix the heating system up. It makes me in big trouble now. You see the weather is terrible and the temperature is becoming increasingly lower from now on. I have to move to my classmate's apartment and this causes a huge inconvenience to both of us.
I would be appreciated if your employee could fix the heating system for me as soon as possible.
From next week, I will enjoy my Christmas holiday and I can have seven days off. So, would you mind telling me when your employee will come to my apartment so that I can stay at home and wait for you.
I am looking forward to your prompt response. Thanks!
Yours Sincerely,
Jasmine

M: Well, what difference does ten days make？ The machine was obviously defective when I bought it.
W: Well, the workers in our service center can look at it, but there will be a charge.
M: A charge？ I thought you would fix it for free.
W: I'm sorry, sir. Your warranty has run out. There's nothing I can do for yon.
M: No. No, look. I didn't drop it off a building or anything. I mean, what difference can ten days make？ I mean, you can...
W: Sir, I'm sorry, we have the six-month rule for a reason. We can't...
M: Well, you can bend the rule a little bit, can't you？
W: Make an exception for you？ Then we'll have to make one for everybody. Well, sir, you knew when your warranty ran out. You should have brought it in before. It was guaranteed for six months and six months only. There's nothing I can do for you.
