听力原文: Bush was born on July 6, 1946, in New Haven, Connecticut, the first child of the family. His grandfather, Prescott Bush, was a Wall Street financier who was elected to the Senate of the United States from Connecticut in 1952. Although his father began his career in the oil industry, he eventually served as a congressman.
At the age of two, Bush moved with his parents from Connecticut to Odessa, Texas, where his father embarked on a career in the petroleum business. After a year in Texas, the family moved to California for business reasons. A year later, the family moved back to Texas and settled in Midland, a town in western Texas legated about 500 km (300 mi) from Fort Worth. Bush lived in Midland from 1950 to 1959. He had three brothers Jeb, Neil, and Marvin, and a sister, Dorothy. In 1959, again for business reasons, the family moved to Houston, Texas. In 1961 Bush left Texas and went to Andover, Massachusetts, to attend Phillips Academy, a boarding school that his father had also attended.
At Phillips, Bush played basketball, baseball, and football. He was best known for being heed cheerleader. In 1964 he enrolled at Yale University in Connecticut; his father and grandfather had also attended Yale. That same year, Bush campaigned for his father in his unsuccessful bid to win a U.S. Senate seat from Texas.
At Yale, Bush was considered an average student, but he was popular with his classmates. During Bush's time at Yale, college students all over the country began to hold protests about a variety of issues, including protests against U.S. involvement in rite Vietnam War (1959-1975). Bush was uncomfortable with the growth of the student protest movement, and he generally refrained from participating in campus polities. In 1968 he campaigned on behalf of his father, who was running for reelection for a seat in the House of Representatives that he had won in 1966.

听力原文:W: Hi, John. Nice to meet you.
M: Hi. You are...?
W: I'm Mary. Don't you remember me? Your younger sister Susan is my good friend. I used to go to your home when you were still home.
M: Yeah, yeah. I remember, Mary, the active girl usually in red. Nice to meet you, too.
W: Susan told me I might meet you here, but I didn't expect it so soon.
M: When did you come here?
W: A couple of days ago. I've just been here for no longer than a week. Today I just had my first class.
M: How was your first class?
W: Well, I got lost and I was totally late!
M: Don't worry about it. It was a freshman class, so I'm sure that you weren't the only person who was late!
W: Yeah, the class was moved to another building, so I was late. But I don't think I missed much though.
M: Yeah, the first day is just going over the syllabus and finding out what will be expected of the students. Still, if you don't want to sit in the front, you'd better go there early to find a seat since the classroom usually fills up.
W: Thank you for telling me. Where are you going?
M: I have an appointment with my advisor. He is going to be mad at me because I am behind in my research for the fellowship! I'm supposed to have an outline ready by today!
W: Uh oh! What are you going to do?
M: I'll promise him a complete outline early next week. Luckily, I know something about this subject already, so I can whip together a short outline after biology class. That reminds me. I've got to run. See you later!
W: OK. Good luck!
M: Ah, yes, I'll call you later when I'm free. What's your phone number?
W: 555-8888, easy to remember. Hurry up! Bye!
