听力原文:W What led you to open the Cincinnati Glass Center?
M Well, people know about Cincinnati's history as a steel manufacturing center for North America, but not many people know that the town used to be a center of the glass industry as well. We wanted to awaken people to that part of Cincinnati's past.
W What would you say has been your proudest achievement since you opened the museum?
M Since we opened the center, several prominent glass artists have moved here, artists from all over the world. I'm proud that we've attracted so many glass artists to the city.
What is being discussed?

M: I didn't read the article, but I'm not surprised. The old proverb says lightning never strikes twice in the same place. But it seems to me that if the conditions for lightning to strike are right one time, they might be just as good another time.
W: Well, I don't take any chances. If I'm caught in a thunderstorm, I look for shelter in a building or a closed car since lightning is supposed to be attracted to the tallest or sharpest object in the area. Also, I was told that if you're stuck outdoors, the best thing you can do is to keep yourself close to the ground and avoid bodies of water. Apparently, lightning is especially attracted to water.
M: To tell you the truth, even when I'm at home I don't take baths or showers during a thunderstorm. I unplug my television and I don't use any appliances or talk on the telephone. I just avoid using anything that works electrically. Maybe I'm too nervous about these things though.
W: I wouldn't say that, According to the article, lightning starts thousands of fires every year in the United States alone. Hundreds of people are injured or even killed by lightning, and millions of dollars worth of property gets damaged. I think you're just being sensible.
What are the man and woman discussing?
A.A weather forecast.
B.Information in a news article.
C.A friend's experience.
D.Details from a recent lecture.
听力原文:W: What kind of training does one need to go into this type of job?
M: That's a very good question. I don't think there is any, specifically.
W: For example, in your case, what was your educational background?
M: Well, I did a degree in French at Nottingham. After that, I did careers work in secondary schools like the careers guidance people here at the university. Then I went into local government because I found I was more interested in the administrative side, then progressed on to universities. So there wasn't any plan and there was no specific training. There are plenty of training courses in management techniques and committee work which you can attend now.
W: But in the first place, you did a French degree.
M: In my time, there wasn't a degree you could do for administration. I think most of the administrators I've come across have degrees in all sorts of things.
W: Well, I know in my case, I did an English literature degree and I didn't really expect to end up doing what I am doing now.
M: Quite.
W: But you are local to Nottingham, actually? Is there any reason why you went to Nottingham University?
M: No, no, I come from the north of England, from West Yorkshire. Nottingham was one of the universities I put on my list. And I like the look of it. The campus is just beautiful.
W: Yes, indeed. Let's see. Were you from the industrial part of Yorkshire?
M: Yes, from the Woolen District.

听力原文:W: Good morning, Tom! How are you?
M: Not bad! What about you?
W: Fine. Tom, you didn’t show up yesterday evening, did you?
M: I am sorry I didn’t. I had planned to go to your party, but was caught up by a program about Oprah Winfrey. I simply could not help sticking to the television until it was too late for your party.
W: Oprah Winfrey?
M: Yes. She is a US talk show hostess, and the queen of all talk! Come on, haven’t you ever heard of her?
W: Oh, I remember. She is enormously influential, and it is said that her influence extends far beyond the media! She must have a distinguished family background, don’t you think so?
M: No. on the contrary, her birth place was actually notorious for its poverty. But as she applied herself to study and work, she later became America’s first African-American news anchor.
W: She is really great! Then, have you watched her talk show for a long time?
M: Of course! She is frank and genuine. She never spreads gossip or scandal!
W: That would certainly make a difference among all the trash TV we have today!
M: You bet! That program I watched last night will be shown again this afternoon.
W: Really! I will make sure not to miss it! Bye for now!
M: See you later!
