听力原文:M: Do you know the thing that's always struck me as odd about opinion polls?
W: What's that?
M: The percentages. Like recently there was a survey about what people thought about traffic, and petrol prices, and public car parks. In some car parks it now costs something like $5 to park a car for half an hour.
W: Yeah, but I don't see what you're getting at.
M: What I mean is the percentages in the results. So there might be 70% of people who complained about the high petrol prices, and 60% who want to see the traffic reduced, and 65% who think the car park charges are too high. Does that mean that there are 35% who actually think the charges are OK and would even be prepared to pay more, and another 30% who think the petrol prices are OK? I mean that's absurd. I don't know anyone who doesn't think they're too high.
W: Well, actually I think we should pay more.
M: Come on, you're joking.
W: No, seriously. I think we should pay more for petrol, even twice as much maybe, and certainly far more for inner city car parks.
M: But why?
W: More taxes should be charged on petrol, I think, to discourage people from using cars, and a kind of graded charging system for car parks depending on how far they are from the city center.
M: What do you mean?
W: Well, if you park your car quite far from the city center then you'll pay a nominal amount as a kind of reward for not polluting the city center. Well, the closer you get to the center, the more you are punished. Prices in the center should be totally prohibitive. I mean with an efficient bus or tram service there's no excuse for using cars.
M: Yeah, but you can't punish people who don't use their car to go into town. I mean if you doubled the price of petrol, it would cost people a fortune to go anywhere, even on short trips, and especially on holidays.
W: Don't use your car then. Use a train.
M: Well, anyway, I still can't believe that 30% of those people who said car park charges were OK all think the same as you.
W: Well, maybe that's where you are wrong. Just think about what I've said and you'll realize that perhaps it's not as stupid as it sounds.
(23)
A.Traffic cost.
B.Public transport.
C.Car parks.
D.Road taxes.
SECTION B INTERVIEW
Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. Questions 1 to 5 are based on an interview. At the end of the interview you will be given 10 seconds to answer each of the following five questions.
Now listen to the interview.
听力原文:W: Good morning, John, nice to be here!
M: You know, well, a lot of us spend time looking for things in the morning? It's the glasses, it's the keys, and in my case it's always, always the other shoe.
W: Yeah, the other shoe, yeah! I've been there.
Ms What are the biggest mistakes we made when it comes to that?
W: And to speak to what you're saying, I think it's being organized. When you're disorganized, you don't know where things are. You're rifling from drawers, rifling through closets, trying to find the thing that didn't go back where it belongs. So if you can stay organized, you can really save some time.
M: All right. Let's start saving time right this minute. OK?
W: Okay.
M: No. 1, your No. 1 tip here is banking online. Now some people are afraid to do it, but you say it's something smart.
W: Yeah, yeah, 'it is very safe. And we certainly recommend that you use your own bank's website. So go to the bank, talk to the consumer service representatives there. If you have some questions about how to do it, how safe it is, it's the best way to find out how safe it is and how easy...
M: And how much time do you think you saved, Carolyn, by doing that?
W: You know if you can, write, write in a lot of checks, if you're making transfers, checking your statements, you can save 30 minutes, up, even up to an hour.
M: I've seen a lot of this number, the second tip, which is online grocers. Now, that's really not for everyone, but you actually go grocery shopping online.
W: That's exactly what you do. And you know, if you are the type of person that wants to read every label and look at every piece of fruit, it's probably not for you. But, you know, if you wanna give up a little control, you can definitely save some time. M: And what's the good strategy if you decide to go shopping online?
W: What I would suggest is especially starting out, is to do the staples online. The brands that you use all the time, the paper products, the cleaning products, the cereals, get that online and then go to the store for the meats in the produce.
M: Now for those who are big library people who like the library, you say make a preemptive strike basically and go online first before you actually make the trip out to the library.
W: That's exactly right. Check the library's website. You can reserve books rather than make a trip and find out they don't have the book that you want. You can put it in order and they will call you and let you know when it's in and then you go get it.
M: Ah, the fourth tip, I like it a lot because I travel a lot. It is to print your boarding pass before you go to the airport. That is so smart, right?
W: It's really amazing, especially when you don't have to check luggage. Because if you have to check luggage it's gonna take you a little time. But if you're just carrying on, you skip those chaos and go right to the gate.
M: That's brilliant. Now for those of us who are always sort of looking for the same phone number, I know I'm like this. I leaf through the phone book, I find the phone number, I call it, I shut the phone book and then the next week I'm gonna use that same number. What's the good way to sort or keep track of things?
W: Highlight it, you know, just do it in a bright color, so it jumps out to you if it's something that you use often and organize your phone book. That's really important. No more napkins and envelope flaps and old Christmas cards and phone numbers. Do it nicely and you will find things quicken
M: Okay, my big Achilles' heel for me is my purse. It is the bottomless horrible pit. I don't even know wh
A.they suffer from amnesia.
B.they are not organized.
C.they have too many things.
D.they are often in a hurry.
