听力原文： Thank you for coming to this meeting for students who will be remaining on campus during the ten days winter break. As the dean of students, it is my responsibility to explain the vacation arrangements and to have you fill up the forms giving the dates you will be on campus. To reduce heating cost, Building 1 will be the only dormitory open. All the other dorms will close at five p. m., on Friday, February 7th, and will not reopen until six p. m. on February 16th. Once we have your completed forms, we will assign you a room in Building 1. Please move all the belongings you will need to your temporary accommodations by the 7th, as it will not be possible to reopen the other dorms during these ten days, once they have been closed. Most college facilities will be closed during the vacation. These facilities include the gymnasium, the college store, and the dining hall. The library and the computer center will be open, though on reduced schedule. Only the post office and the college administration offices will maintain their regular hours. Since I imagine most of you are staying here to finish up academic projects of one sort or another, let me wish you luck with your work. If you have any special problems, please do not hesitate to contact me at the Dean's Office.

听力原文： A potato farmer was sent to prison just at the time when he should have been digging the ground for planting the new crop of potatoes. He knew that his wife would not be strong enough to do the digging by herself, but that she could manage to do the planting; and he knew that he did not have any friends or neighbors who would be willing to do the digging for them. So he wrote a letter to his wife which said, "Please do not dig the potato field. I hid the money and the gun there."
Ten days later he got a letter from his wife. It said, "I think somebody read your letter before it got out of the prison. Someone arrived here two days ago and dug up the whole potato field. What shall I do now？"
The prisoner wrote back at once, "Plant the potatoes, of course."
