听力原文: Whether the eyes are "the windows of the soul" is true or not, it is a fact that they are especially important in interpersonal communication. In a conversation, eye contact is important because more or less eye contact can create communication barriers. In relationships, eye contact serves to show intimacy, attention, and influence.
Eye contact can mean different things in different cultures. In some Spanish-speaking countries, children show respect, to an older person by not looking directly into the person' s eyes during a conversation. In other countries, looking into a person' s eye is expected. For example, if you don' t do it in the United States, people may think that you are afraid, embarrassed, or angry. Too little eye contact may be viewed negative, because it may express a lack of interest, attention and even trust. "Never trust a person who doesn' t look you in the eyes." In the Middle East, direct eye contact during a conversation lasts longer than in many other parts of the world. Some westerners who are not used to this may feel uncomfortable for they think it rude to stare, especially at strangers.

听力原文:T: Good morning. Can I help you sir?
M: Yes, good morning. Er, my name is Adams. I am going to a conference in Sydney in July.
T: Yes. How long for?
M: I expect to be there for about three weeks.
T: I see. Well, there is an excursion fare.
M: How much would that be?
T: 795 pounds. That allows you one stopover, one stopover outside Australia.
M: Only one stopover?
T: Yes, that's a restriction on excursion fares, one stopover and not in Australia.
M: I see. Well, I suppose it would be nice to have a stopover in the far east somewhere, Hong Kong or Bangkok. Hm. And there's another point. Er, I'm going with two friends and we have got a friend in Perth in Australia. Now we all know him and it would be very nice to visit him on the way back to London after the conference.
T: Sorry sir. You've got to remember, no stopover in Australia on the excursion fare. Of course, you could pay the full fare.
M: Mm. No, I don't really want that.
T: Or, well, there is something else you can do. You could take a single ticket to Sydney, that's 400 pounds, and a ticket from Sydney to Perth, about 150 pounds, and then another single Perth to London, that's about 420. That's much less than the full fare. But remember, no stopovers allowed on single flights, so you wouldn't be able to go to Bangkok or Hong Kong.
M: I see. Well, I'd just fly directly back to London. But look, if you don't mind I think I'll tall it over with my friends first and I'll come back in a few days' time. Um, I hope they'll come to Perth with me. I'd really like to see my friends. Anyway, um, I'll see you later.
T: That's fine. I'll see you next week perhaps. Goodbye.
M: Bye.
What is the disadvantage of an excursion fare?
A.More expensive than the usual price.
B.Only one stopover allowed.
C.Having only one Australian stop.
D.Many restrictions on it.

Once upon a time (not so very long ago, either!) industrial goods were made to last forever. If you bought a ear or a stove, it was a once-in-a-lifetime investment(投资). You paid good money for it, and you took care of it. Nowadays industry has persuaded us that products shouldn't last a long time. It's cheaper to throw them away than it is to repair them. This has led directly to the "throw-away society" which is a tremendous waste of the earth's resources.
Just think of the cars that are traded in daily, just because they are out of style. Think of the expensive packaging material that is thrown away every time a new object is bought. And we consumers have to pay for that material! Our industrial society has turned us into spoiled children. This wastefulness has got ten us into the mess (困境) we are in now. When we have no resources left, then we'll start to take care of what we have. But why can't we act before this happens? Why can't we go back to being a society in which the prevention of waste is a virtue?
Products used to be made to last ______.
A.for at least five years
B.for ten years
C.for as long as you take good care of them
D.for your whole life
A.Yes, of course. Would tomorrow morning be convenient for you?
B.Why don't contact him yourself directly?
C.I am afraid he can't see you unless you have an appointment with him.
D.I don't think I have the right to arrange it for you.
A.sharply
B.angrily
C.carefully
D.directly
