M:I’ve got so much homework and I don’t understand any of it.

M:Come on.You’re 2 years above me at school.Can’t you help?

W:I’m busy studying for an English exam tomorrow.

M:But dad will be tired when he gets home.His boss is making him work longer hours.Please?

W:Fine.I’ll help you with one question.What subject are you struggling with most?

M:I have a 2,000-word essay for geography,but I really need help with these math problems.

W:I’ll show you something my old math teacher taught me to solve the problems.

听第8段材料,回答第10至12题。

Text 8

M:Ugh,yoghurt!I don’t know how you can eat that stuff.

W:I love it.What’s wrong with it? Is it the thickness or the smell that you don’t like?

M:It’s the taste.It makes me feel ill.

W:This one is orange.I like it most,but you can get other flavors,like strawberry or apple.

M:But they still have that yoghurt taste.

W:Yoghurt is very good for you.It makes your stomach work better,and it is rich in protein and vitamins so it protects you from disease.

M:I know.My brain tells me it is good,and my eyes say it looks OK.But my mouth says it is horrible.

W:Well,that is your loss.You should really try to like it.

听第9段材料,回答第13至16题。

Text 9

M:It’s so hard to learn a new language.It gives me a headache.Why can’t we just pick it up from TV?

W:Usually,children learn languages much quicker than adults.

M:Why is that?

W:I think it’s because children are always ready to learn new things,especially since most things are new to them.You know,their brains are still developing.

M:But people forget how to use languages,too.

W:That’s true.I knew an Italian woman who spoke perfect English.She moved to a country that spoke Spanish.At first,she kept her English,but later she forgot it because she didn’t speak it for a long time.

M:So,it’s like a muscle.The more you use it,the stronger it gets.

W:I think experiences help,too.If you have good experiences in learning a foreign language,it stays with you.I knew a Dutch boy who learned opera in Italian,history in German and art in French.When he discussed any of those subjects,he spoke in that specific language.

听第10段材料,回答第17至20题。

Text 10

Good morning,class.Today,I want to talk about Ludwig van Beethoven,one of the greatest composers in the world.He was born in 1770 and died at 57.He wrote about 700 works,and he is remembered for the many that are still played today.He learned how to write music from another great writer,Joseph Haydn,and he studied the works of Mozart and Bach.In his early years,he copied the style of Haydn and Mozart,but later he put a lot more emotion into his music.He worked hard to spread his music,and he was known in his day for his great piano playing.He was very much a part of his time,and during his life,literature and art also became wilder and more emotional.That is why we call that time “The Romantic Period”.In his later years,he became deaf,which is a terrible thing to happen to a man who lives to create music.But he continued writing,and many of his best loved works were written when he could no longer hear them.
