听力原文： How to Save Money Saving money is one of those tasks easier said than done—everyone knows it’s smart to save money in the long run, but many of us still have difficulty doing it. Today’s lecture will provide you with a clue to money saving. [1]First always spend money on absolute essentials first. When it comes to spending money, there are some things that you absolutely, positively cannot do without. [2]These things, namely, food, water, housing, and clothing, are your first priority when it comes to spending your cash. However, just because things like food, water, and shelter are important doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to splurge on them. [3]For instance, cutting down on the amount that you go out to eat is one easy way to drastically reduce your food expenses. [4]Along the same lines, moving to an area with cheap rent is a great way to spend less on housing. [5]Next, save for an emergency fund. If you don’t already have an emergency fund with enough money in it so that you can survive if you suddenly lose your income,

begin contributing to one immediately. [6]Having a reasonable amount of money stockpiled in a secure savings account gives you the freedom to comfortably sort out your affairs in the event that you lose your job. After you cover your essentials, you’ll want to devote a chunk of your income to building up this savings account until you have enough saved to cover about 3-6 months of living expenses. [7]Besides giving you the peace of mind of knowing that you’ll be OK in the event of career difficulties, having an emergency fund can also earn you money in the long run. If you lose your job and you don’t have an emergency fund, you may be forced to take the very first job you’re offered, even if it doesn’t pay well. On the other hand, if you can survive without working for a while, you can afford to be much pickier and potentially land a better-paying job. In addition, put away money next. If you’ve established an emergency fund and paid off all (or nearly all) of your debt, [8]you’ll probably want to start putting your extra money in a savings account. The money you save this way is different from your emergency fund—whereas you’ll want to avoid dipping into your emergency fund unless you absolutely have to, [9]your normal savings are available for big, important purchases, like repairs to the car you use to drive to work. However, in general, you’ll want to avoid using your savings so that, over time, your total savings grow. [10]If you can, try to devote at least 10-15% of your monthly income to your savings starting in your 20s—most experts agree that this is a healthy goal. There’s more to saving than simply spending less money, although this alone can be challenging. Most people can save something regardless of their income. Start to save a little each day.

听力原文：W: Scope charity office, how can I help you?M: Oh hello. [1]I’m ringing about the Dragon Boat Race that you’re asking people to take part in.W: Oh yes, we still need a few more teams. Are you interested in joining the race?M: Yes, we want to enter a team but we don’t know anything about it. Could I ask you for some more information first? W: Of course.M: I don’t even know when it’s being held. W: It’s taking place on the 2nd July. M: Right. And where’s it being held? W: At the Brighton Marina. You take a right turning off the coast road or you can cycle along the seafront. M: What time does the race start? W: Well, [2]the first heats begin at 10:00 am—you need to register half an hour before that—9:30 and we really recommend that you aim to be there by 9. It’s a good idea to arrange a meeting place for your team. M: Right. And the race is to help raise money for charity? W: It is. We’re asking every team member to try and raise $35 by getting friends and/or relatives to sponsor them. [3]Every crew member will receive a free tournament t-shirt if your team manages to raise $1,000 or more. M: Oh that’s quite good. W: Also we’re holding a raffle... every crew member who takes part in the race this season will be entered into a free Prize Draw. M: Oh, what’s the prize?W: It’s pretty good—it’s a holiday in Hong Kong. M: Sounds good.W: Is there anything else you need to know? M: Could you just tell me a little bit more about the teams? W: Well, you need to have a crew of 20 people for your dragon boat. And you then need to agree on who’s going to be the team captain. That would probably be you. M: Fine. Um, I’ve got a group of 20 people who are interested. Do all the team members have

to be a certain age?W: Well there’s no age limit as such but if you have a team member who’s under 18 then they have to get their parents’ permission to take part M: Yes, that makes sense. What do you advise people to wear? W: Well, [5]most people wear a t-shirt, shorts and trainers. I certainly wouldn’t recommend that you wear jeans or boots. In fact, it’s a very good idea to bring some spare clothes. It can get quite cold and wet if the weather’s bad. M: I see what you mean. W: Have you got a name for your team? M: Oh, not yet, no.W: Well, [4]you need to decide on one and then put it on the entrance form which I’ll send you.

听力原文：W: Good morning.M: Good morning. Can I help you?W: Yes, [6]is this where we register for the Beyond 2000 Conference?M: Yes? What’s your name and I’ll get your conference bag.W: Well, I haven’t actually registered yet. I was told I’d be able to register today, so I hope that’s OK. I’ve just arrived in Melbourne. M: That should be fine, if you’re a student. I’ll need to take your details though. So can I have your full name? W: Yes, sure. It’s Melanie Mitchell. I am a student at Sydney University.M: OK. Now do you want to attend all three days? The conference runs from Thursday to Saturday. W: Yes, I think so—if I can afford it. What does it cost? M: Well, you’re eligible for a student discount, [7]which makes it $15 for a day registration or $40 for the three days, though it is possible to register for half a day only. W: I’ll register for all three days, please.M: Good. Now will you be requiring accommodation while you’re here in Melbourne? W: Yes, I suppose I will. What’s available? M: Well, we have several levels of accommodation. You can share a room with another student for $25 a night. Or you can have your own room but share the bathroom—that’s $45. W: Right.M: Or you can have a single room with your own bathroom. W: I don’t mind sharing a room. On second thoughts, yes I do. [8]I’ll have my own room, but I’ll share the bathroom. M: Right now a couple of other things—there are a number of special interest groups organized—they’re known as SIGs and

you’re asked to nominate your preference. They’ll take place on the Friday afternoon and Saturday morning but [9]they’re filling up quickly which is why you need to nominate now. W: Right. What are the SIGs? M: Well, there are six altogether. Let’s see, on Friday you have a choice between Computers in Education or Teaching Reading Skills... or a session on Catering for the Gifted Child. W: Oh they all sound interesting but technology in the classroom is really my area of interest rather than reading, so I’ll go for that. I can probably read up on the gifted child topic myself. M: Right. And then the Saturday options are: a session on Cultural Differences; or there’s Music in the Primary Curriculum or you could go to the one on Gender Issues in the Classroom. W: Wow! Can I go to them all? They all sound fascinating. M: I’m afraid not. W: Well, [10]I am really interested in how boys and girls behave differently, even when they are very young, so I’d better opt for the third session. M: Right! Enjoy your time here with us in Melbourne. 6．Where does the conversation most probably take place?7．How much does the woman need to pay for the registration?8．What kind of room does the woman choose to live in?9．Why should the woman nominate a SIG now?10．What may the SIG the woman chooses be about?

20．

A．Because they only take place on Friday. B．Because there’re altogether only three SIGs. C．Because they will charge money very soon. D．Because there’ll not be available places soon.

正确答案：D 解析：①选项都是表示原因的从句，由此可以推断题目与某事物的原因有关。②男士介绍他们还组织了六个特别兴趣小组，会在周五下午和周六上午举行，但是因为名额很快就满了，所以女士现在就要确定下来，因此本题选D。②A“因为兴趣小组只在周五举行”与原文的“周五下午和周六上午”不相符。B“因为总共只有三个兴趣小组”不符合原文所说的“总共有6个兴趣小组”，故排除掉。C“因为兴趣小组很快就要收费了”未在对话中提及。 知识模块：听力

21．

A．How boys and girls behave differently in the classroom. B．How to effectively improve students’ reading skills. C．How to satisfy the special needs of talented students.

D．Whether music should be added to the primary curriculum.

正确答案：A 解析：男士向女士介绍了六个兴趣小组的主要内容。星期五举行的兴趣小组中，女士对关于教育计算机的兴趣小组感兴趣，但是没有对应的选项；星期六举行的兴趣小组中，女士想参加关于课堂上的性别差异问题的兴趣小组，因此本题选A。 知识模块：听力
