W: Well, I'm thinking about taking it next year. I want to know something about it beforehand.
M: As far as I'm concerned, I suggest that you not take it.
W: Why not? Is the professor awful or is the lecturing boring?
M: The professor is nice enough. But the course is nothing but physics and chemistry with lots of equations. You can't just mix the right chemicals and watch what happens. As you go along you have to keep care notes and turn it all into a bunch of numbers and formulas after the experiment is over. It was the worst course I've ever taken.
W: What you say is no problem for me. To tell you the truth, [ like formulas and numbers. That's what I'm different from you.
M: Is it? Then you'll love it if it is the case. But all that I was interested in was biology and we didn't get to that till the last three weeks of the class. What a year!

听力原文: A friend gave George a parrot which had a big vocabulary, but most of the words the bird knew were bad words. At first George thought it was funny, but when George had important guests, the bird's bad words embarrassed him very much.
As soon as the guests left, George angrily shouted to the parrot, "That language must stop!" But the bird answered him with curses. He shook the bird and shouted again, "Don't use those ugly words!" Again the bird cursed him.
George was really angry. He took the parrot and threw him into the freezer. This time there was silence. After two minutes, George opened the door and removed the very cold parrot. Slowly the frightened parrot walked up George's arm, sat on his shoulder and spoke into his ear, "I'm sorry for my behavior. and will never behave badly again."

W: You are right. That's what I thought. I can use the computer at home and at my store.
M: What will you use it for at the store?
W: To keep track of all the things in the store. How much I sell them for and which article sells best, and what are the things in sufficient stock.
M: That's a good idea. But I didn't think you knew how to use a computer.
W: I have to say I don't.
M: Then why did you buy one?
W: I've heard so much about computers. And I've heard you can find so many interesting things online. I was walking past the computer store downtown. I saw they had computers on sale.
M: So you went into the store to ask a few questions.
W: That's right. And I met a nice, young salesman. He showed me lots of things a computer can do. I just had to buy one.
M: So now who is going to teach you to use it?
W: You are.
