At first I stayed with a family for three months. They were very kind to me, but they had three young children and I found it difficult to study. M: Right, I see. W: So after three months I moved out and now I live with two other students in a student house. Its much cheaper and we like it there.

Um, apart from the language difficulties, if you can separate them, how have you found the course？ W: OK, but... M: Yes, go on. W: Well, the main difficulty for me is getting time on the computers in the computer room. Its always busy and this makes it very hard to do my practical work. M: Yes, Im sure it would.

For example, there are six to support our faculty and researchers in the School of Engineering: each tailor-made for each department of the School. Student Great! Librarian We also have guides for specific subjects, such as " Environment" and "Traditional Chinese Medicine". These are 3 of the topics that our university has selected as "high impact areas" and will place special research emphasis on. Student Oh, thats quite convenient. Its easier for us to find the books we need quickly. Librarian Yeah, ...These guides facilitate our users information search by directing them to the core sources and methods for locating materials. Usage statistics indicate that in November 2001 alone, these guides were accessed 25090 times from on-campus locations. They are updated on an ongoing basis. Student Yeah, OK. I am quite interested in business and management. Librarian So you just look for your favorite sub-branches here.

last week to check it out. I really like it. W: Yes, I like it too. I like the study areas. There seems to be a lot of room just to spread out and focus on the books. Its much better than the old library where it seemed like we were all jammed into one area. Sometimes it was even hard to find a spot to study because it was so crowded, especially during exams. 1 even like the chairs at the new place. Theyre super comfy. M: Youre right. The only bad thing about it is that its pretty far away. It takes me about twenty minutes to get there by bus. So, 1 can see myself not going all the way downtown if Im in a pinch for time. Id probably just stay in residence and study there. W: I was thinking that too. Its too bad it takes so long to get there. I dont like being dependent on the buses. Have you tried riding your bike there？ It might take a little longer but at least youre getting a bit of exercise. M: Thats a good idea, Jen. Maybe Ill try riding this week. I just have to make sure Im good and rested. Sometimes, when Im overtired Im not too coordinated. Knowing me, Id have a load of books in my backpack and get distracted by something and crash my bike. W: Hmm. Well, youve just got to keep an eye out for those potholes. Oh, wow. Look at the time! Ive got to get to my next class. Ill see you around, Geff. M: Good talking to you, Jen.

l know, Morrison is both a popular and highly respected author and its not easy to be both. Born in 1931, Morrison has written some of the most touching and intelligent works on the African-American experience ever written by anyone. And yet to call her an African-American writer doesnt seem to do her justice. In many ways, shes simply an American writer and certainly one of the best. Beloved is a truly remarkable work. It was recommended for nearly every nature literary class, including the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and it in fact won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1988. Morrison herself is distinguished for having won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1993. What makes Beloved unique is the skillful sure way in which Morrison blends intensely personal storytelling and American history, racial themes and gender themes, the experience of blacks with the experience of all people everywhere, the down-to-earth reality of slavery with the sense of mysterious spirituality. We will be paying special attention to these themes as we discuss this work and Im particularly interested in your views on the relative importance of grace and gender in this book. Is it more important that Sethe, the main character, is black, or that she is a woman？ Which contributes more to her being？ What does Morrison tell us about both？ 23. What do we learn about Toni Morrison？ 24. What honor did Toni Morrison receive in 1993？ 25. What does the speaker tell us about Sethe, the main character, in Morrisons novel Beloved？24．

A．The Book Critics Circle Award.

B．The Nobel Prize for literature.

C．The Pulitzer Prize for fiction.

D．The National Book Award.

country for me to travel. W: I have an idea to make good use of our vacations. We have benefited from the society but done nothing in return. Do you want to do some local voluntary work for the society this year？ M: Sounds interesting. What do you think we should do？ W: Im not sure. Maybe we could offer help in the hospital for handicapped children. We could help feed the children and help look after them. M: Excellent! But Im not sure if we will be allowed to do that. I think all helpers there have to be specially trained. And we are not in the related major. W: Yeah, maybe you are right. I still have the idea of doing something for children, havent you？ M: Well, maybe. And I think many old people also need help. What else did you have in mind for children？ W: My other idea was to do something for the small primary school down the street. That school is too poor to provide a playground for the pupils. Children cannot do without one. Ive noticed that some land round the back of the school is not used. We could make it into a small playground. What do you think？ M: Mm, its a good idea, but you are a bit too ambitious. I dont know anything about making playgrounds. And I also think that it might be too expensive to do what you suggest. W: Yes, I guess youre right. We cannot afford the big project unless someone sponsors us. Its impossible for us to find such a person. So what do you have in mind for older people？ M: I think we should go round to the homes of older people and ask if there is something we can do in the house — you know, like a bit of simple decorating, washing the clothes, cleaning up the garden, even doing some shopping for them once a week. W: Mm, this sounds meaningful and practical. I quite like the idea. It wont cost us any money and Im sure we are capable of dealing with the things you mentioned. Questions 9 to 12 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 9. What are the two speakers arrangements for the coming summer vacation？ 10. What can we learn about the woman from the conversation？ 11. Why cant they make a playground for the pupils？ 12. What are the possible identities of the two speakers？9．

A．She likes handicapped children very much.

B．She wants to do something for children.

C．She prefers children to old people.

D．She thinks a cheap playground can work for pupils.

Secretary Well, we also have advisors for different-level students. You can get some advice from them. Student Good. I think I need some suggestions from the advisor for medium-level applicants. Could I speak to him or her？ Secretary No problem, the medium-level advisor...let me have a look. Here, his name is Carl Smith, and the telephone number is 8843. His office is room No. 211 in the center building. Student Excuse me, could you repeat his telephone number and the room number？ Was it 8834 and room No. 121？ Secretary Oh, no. it is room No. 211 but his telephone number is 8843. By the way, his working hours are from 9:00 a. m. to 5:00 p. m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Student Ok, today is Tuesday, so I will visit him tomorrow. Thanks for the information.
