听力原文:Interviewer (W) George Allen (M)
W: Good morning, listeners. Today I'd like to introduce our guest speaker George Allen from the British Council, who is going to talk to us about living in the UK. George, over to you.
M: Thank you. As you are no doubt aware the UK is becoming a popular destination for people who wish to study at university, so what I'd like to do is, well, just give you listeners an insight into what living in the UK is really like. You know, what to expect when you get there and the cost of living, as well as what to do before you arrive in the UK.
W: What do students have to consider first before they go?
M: Finance, of course. Britain is quite an expensive place to live in. Therefore, you need to consider costs very carefully. And one of the major expenses is tuition fees. University courses range from about 5,000 pounds to 8,000 pounds, depending on the type of course, Then, other expenses such as books, which can cost about 500 pounds per year.
W: That's a considerable amount. Then where do you suggest students to stay?
M: As for accommodation, many people prefer to stay in the university's hall of residence because living on campus is a lot cheaper than living off campus. A room in halls would cost you about 80 pounds per week outside of London. The north of England, however, is much cheaper.
W: Then what about living off campus?
M: Well, you can rent a private house with a group of other students. You may think this would be an expensive option, but if you share the cost with three or four other students it can actually work out cheaper than a room on campus. But do bear in mind that you have additional transport costs to and from university. However, if anyone is interested in renting off campus, the university accommodation can offer advice, and even help you to find a suitable place.
W: That's good news. What is the climate like in the UK?
M: Britain is famous for its bad weather and for good reasons. It rains often in the UK, and even in the summer it can still be quite cold. So take plenty of warm clothes with you. You can, of course, buy warm clothes when you are there, and indeed, they don't have to be too expensive ff you go to a local market. But taking your own is, of course, a cheaper option.
W: You bet. George, some listeners are anxious about food there, Is it really unpleasant?
M: Many people who visit the UK often find the food rather boring and uninteresting. This is because, generally, people don't use spices in their cooking. Nevertheless, some of the food, I must say, is actually rather good. And the cheapest places to eat out are often local pubs, where they serve excellent home-cooked food, as well as serving as the centre of social life in most towns and cities in the UK.
W: Besides local pubs, are there coffee shops as well?
M: You know the UK is a great tea drinking nation. Therefore, don't expect to find too many American style. coffee shops. There are, of course, many to be found in big cities such as London, but tea shops, as they are called, are much more common.
W: What do people do for recreation after study or work?
M: There is excellent nightlife in Britain. All file major cities such as Manchester, Birmingham and Liverpool are a center of cultural activities. However, you may think London has the best nightlife. But Manchester, I must say, tops the bill. Being a multicultural city you will find all kinds of entertainment there from theaters to nightclubs, as well as museums and art galleries. And it's considerably cheaper than London, whilst undoub

听力原文: The Place de Concorde in central Paris is usually filled with tourists. Sunday night, it was teaming with fans of French President-elect Nicolas Sarkozy, who had invited voters to a victory rock concert. Thirty-thousand people turned out. Most of them were young, and most were optimistic about Mr. Sarkozy' s victory. A lot of young people support Nicolas Sarkozy, said one student from Paris. He said students think he can make the changes France needs. But there were also anti-Sarkozy protests in some parts of the country. Nearly 400 cars were reported burned in cities across France. But police said there was little violence in the places where it had been most feared - the multi-ethnic neighborhoods where Mr. Sarkozy is blamed for inflaming tensions between the police and youth. Instead, police blamed the incidents mostly on right and left-wing extremists. Mr. Sarkozy, a conservative, won 53 percent of the vote. Thatgave him a comfortable majority over his opponent, socialist Segolene Royal, and a strong mandate to pursue the economic reforms he has proposed. They include changes to France' s generous unemployment benefit and to standard work contracts that protect worker security.
One of his proposed measures would ensure a minimum train service. That would stop rail workers from shutting down the country to protest his reforms. Mr. Sarkozy is taking a few days off before he takes office on May 16.
Most of the thirty-thousand people were______ about Mr. Sarkozy's victory.
A.nervous
B.worried
C.optimistic

听力原文: This is the day when America remembers those who died in service to their country. And nowhere is the extent of their sacrifice more on display than in Arlington National Cemetery-- where seven generations of the fallen are buried. President Bush spoke in the cemetery' s amphitheater-- a massive white structure surrounded by seemingly endless rows of small white headstones. Many of the nation' s greatest military heroes are buried in Arlington. But so too are hundreds of thousands of men and women whose names arc known only to the families and communities that mourn them. They include several hundred soldiers killed since the September 11 attacks on the United States in places like Kabul and Kandahar, Baghdad and Ramadi. The sod is still fresh on those graves, many covered with personal messages, flowers and flags. The president said their sacrifice must not be in vain, and the cause of protecting freedom will never end. Earlier, the president laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns, which contains the unidentified remains of members of the U.S. military killed in major conflicts. He was accompanied by several families of the fallen.
