听力原文：M: Jean, were you able to get that report all typed up？

W: Not yet, Mr. Black. Mrs. Farnsworth asked me to type some letters for her. I'll be finished pretty quick and then I'll start on that.

M: Don't forget I need it first thing in the morning. I have to take it along to Chicago to the regional meeting.

W: Don't worry, I'll get it done. My husband's on a business trip too. He's in Detroit today, and tomorrow he'll be in Boston. So I'm planning to stay late. After it's typed up I'll leave it on your desk. I should be finished by 8:00 pm.

M: I'm sorry to keep you so late.

W: It's all right, Mr. Black. I don't mind at all. Besides, I can use a little extra money. My husband's birthday is next month. I want to buy him a new watch.

M: What kind are you going to get him, a Bulova？

W: No. I thought I'd get a Rolex, or an Elgin. I don't really know much about watches.

M: I've got one of those Seiko digitals. I really like it.

W: Do you think my husband would like one like that？

M: I'm sure he would. The only problem is that it's a little bit heavy.

W: If it's that good, I think I'll go ahead and get him one.

M: Well, at least he won't get a tie. That's what I usually get.

W: Remember, it's the thought that counts.

LI HUA：Hobbies, games, hometown, family and so on.

LIU HUI：Well. I see. Breaking the ice is a good way to make ___5__. Thank you very much.

LI HUA：My pleasure.

听力原文：W: So what are the two main times of the day that you watch TV？

M: Well, a little around breakfast time and then it tends to be really late— eleven or even midnight—when I've finished work.

W: And what sort of programs do you go for？

M: Some news bulletins but I also really like to put my feet up with some of the old comedy shows.

W: Fine. And turning to the new channel...which type of programs would you like to see more of？

M: Well, I certainly don't think we need any more factual programs like news and documentaries. I think we need more about things like local in formation...you know, providing a service for the community. And in the same vein, perhaps more for younger viewers...you know, good quality stuff.

W: Ah ha. And if you had to give the new directors some specific advice when they set up the channel, what advice would you give theme

M: I think I'd advice them to pay more attention to the quality of the actual broadcast, you know, the sound system. They ought to do lots more of these kinds of interview, you know, talking with their potential customers.

W: Oh, I'm glad you think it's valuable!

M: Certainly...yeah.

W: Good. Ok, this will be a commercial channel of course, but how often do you think it is tolerable to have adverts？

M: Well out of that list I'd say every quarter of an hour. I don't think we can complain about that, as long as they don't last for ten minutes each time!

W: Quite. And…would you be willing to attend any of our special promotions for the new channel？

M: Yes, I'd be very happy to, as long as they're held here in my area.

W: Thank you very much for your time.

them in a notebook. Then, later in the day, she asks, bet teacher about them. "Mrs. Thomas, these expressions are new to me. She's blue today. What's the matter？ You're yellow？ A little white lie. She has a green thumb. Blue and yellow people with green thumbs？ White lie？" After looking at the notebook, Mrs. Thomas says, "In everyday English, Habiba, blue sometimes means sad. Yellow means afraid. A person with a green thumb grows plants successfully. And a white lie is not a bad lie." "I don't understand. Please give me an example." "For example, I offer you some cake. The truth is, you don't like my cake. You don't say that. Instead, you say, No, thanks. I'm not hungry. That's a white lie." "I see. Thanks for the explanation."
