听力原文：M: What's Neil going to do when he leaves school?

W: Until a few months ago he was going to go to university, but he's changed his mind. Now he reckons he's going to make it in the pop world.

M: And how do you parents feel about that?

W: We think he's making an enormous mistake.

M: But surely he can go back to his studies if his music career fails.

W: That's true, but once he gets a taste of freedom, he'll find it more difficult to go back to college. I just think it's such a waste m in three years' time, he'll have got his degree and he'll still be young enough to try out the music business. At least if it doesn't work out he'll have a qualification behind him.

M: Have you discussed this with him?

W: Of course, but he's made up his mind. We're just hoping that he'll get out of his system and then come to his sense and go back to his studies. When I left school I didn't go on to university, and I've regretted it ever since. I just don't want him to make the same mistake as I did.

M: Will you support him while he's trying to be a pop singer?

W: You mean financially? No. He won't be living at home, and we can't afford to pay for him to live in London, so it's up to him to make it work.

(20)

A．Go to university.

B．Go t6 a music school.

C．Start his music career as a pop singer.

D．Start a business in the music world.

When I actually started the lessons it was very irritating both for me and my teacher. Most of the time we were making signs at each other and misunderstanding. I just had to remain as patient as they were. I learnt the lesson of patience through that school ...

My room was beautiful, and the restaurant served very good food--in fact my dinner there that first night was delicious. But when I came back from my meeting on the second day, I found my room empty. All my things had disappeared. I checked that I was in the right room, and then I rushed down to reception. I was really worried because I thought I'd been robbed. When I got to reception, I said, "My room's empty! All my things have been stolen!" But the receptionist said, very politely, "Oh, very sorry, sir. That was a little mistake of ours. We thought you were leaving the hotel this morning, so we packed your things and took the suitcase downstairs, so that the cleaner could clean the room for the next guest. Then we realized we had made a mistake. Here's your case. "And she handed me my case with all my things just thrown inside, all in a mess. I was angry, and I immediately asked to see the manager.

听力原文： When I was at school, my ambition was to be a pilot in the Air Force. But my eyesight wasn't good enough. So I had to give up the idea. I went to university and studies physics. I wanted to stay on there and do research, but my father died at about that time. So I thought I'd better get a job and earn my living. I started working in an engineering firm.

I expected to stay in that job for a long time. But then, they appointed a new managing director. I didn't get on with him, so I resigned and applied for a job with another engineering company. I would certainly have accepted the job if they had offered it to me, but on my way to the interview I met a friend certainly have accepted the job if they had offered it to me, but on my way to the interview I met a friend who was working for a travel agency. He offered me a job in Spain. And I've always liked Spain, so I took it.

I worked in the travel agency for two years and then they wanted to send me to South America. But I had just got married. So I decided to stay here. Then we had a baby and I wasn't earning enough to support the family. So I started giving English lessons at a school in the evening.

I liked the English teaching more than working for the travel agency, and then the owner of the school offered me a full-time job as a teacher. So I resigned from the agency. Two years later, the owner of the school wanted to retire, so he asked me to take over as the director. And here I am.
