【正文】 . I don39。t make it worse. Just look on the bright side! Woman: To be honest, I am not that optimistic. Can you imagine many students will drive a long distance to the hospital and wait for hours in line, just for very little problems like a cold? Of course not! I think once the student health center has been canceled, most people with minor health problems will just let it be instead of going to that big, fancy hospital. The woman expresses her opinion of the school39。t. This philosophy may sound weird because it contradicts our daily feeling at first glance, but it has been confirmed through recent research. Er... let39。 while at the same time, the group who chose to keep silent in the first question uniformly held the opinion that most students in that reading room will of course stand with them.

That39。 t know which side I should put my feet on. Man: Well, if you consider it to be a problem… it is actually not that hard to choose. Maybe you can first take that presidentship and then resign after you have one year39。t it be great? Then you can start to study in Mexico. Normally they will give you an oneyear extension if you are accepted but cannot go immediately. Woman: Great! I see your point. But I am not so sure if I can wait for one more year. Also, one year of student union presidentship may look weird on my resume. Man: Or, maybe there is another solution you can take. Listen, why don39。s problem.

After you hear the question, you wilt have 20 seconds to prepare your response and 60 seconds to speak, Now listen to part of a biology lecture. Please Listen Carefully. Plants, as you may know, can be totally harmless most of the time. But, sometimes, when inappropriately brought into a new environment, plants can also cause disasters by breaking the ecological balance in local areas, which is biologically identified as plant invasion. Let39。t see their points in changing the opening schedule of the puter lab. Woman: How e? I think they changed the schedule so that more students could be able to take advantage of the 5 puters there. Man: Well, I believe this plan is totally unnecessary. In addition to full time study in the day time, we all should have some personal life in the evening, right? How can they add classes at night without even bothering to ask for our opinions? Woman : Oh, yeah. I agree. I do have some swimming courses to take at night. So this change of the opening schedule won39。 requirements. Woman: Right. That is true. The man expresses his opinion of the university39。t seen each other for nearly 20 years, I became so excited with his ing that I behaved almost like an 8year old boy. Apparently, Uncle Clark was also influenced by my delighted look and enjoyed his visit pretty much. As what you read from the book, facial expressions often enhance your emotional outlets when they support what you say. Another example is that, last week, I spent the whole afternoon helping my little daughter to build a small birdhouse. This job looked much easier than it actually was. So we had to do it again, again and again. By the moment that everything was finished, I looked frustrated and bored. Then, when I told my little daughter that I was so happy to spend the afternoon working with her, you know what happened? She didn39。t want to bother the professors by ing in late. Woman: Hum, it won39。 t take long before you find the right classroom. Man : Come on, You know this building consists of eight floors and more than a hundred classrooms in total. It can take me quite a few hours to search through the whole building. And I am afraid that when I am finally done with the searching, my class will be over already.
