Text 9

W:Where do you want to go to college,James?

M:Well,I’m not sure.I can’t decide.I’m worried I will make the wrong choice.I want to be a teacher.I want to go to Columbia University in New York,but it’s so expensive.It’s also very far from where my family lives.I also would like to go to Northwestern University,but none of my friends from high school are going there.

W:You’ll make new friends when you go to college.

M:I’m worried about making new friends.Also,I’m worried that I won’t be smart enough to get good grades at a difficult college.I could go to the University of California,but I don’t think they have good teaching.Most importantly,I want to go to a school that is famous for teaching.

W:Those are all excellent schools,James.If you’re accepted into all those schools,you should consider yourself very fortunate.When I went to school,I went to a very small college,and I still got a great job as a principal.You will be successful because you work very hard.

M:Thanks for your help,Principal Skinner.

听第10段材料,回答第17至20题。

Text 10

Good evening.You are listening to “Pop World” of BCD International.I’m Susan Welch.Today,we are going to hear about several of the world’s most popular artists.Well,first,I would like to say a few words to my dear audience who are not very familiar with this program.Since many people want to listen to and understand pop songs,radio producers at BCD International have made hundreds of programs over the years.For those of you who like a little bit of background with your favorite music—there’s “The History of Pop Music” or “The Road to Music”.If you want to hear from the artists themselves,there is a new program called “About the Big Hits”.This is based on interviews with popular singers and song writers.They talk to us about the meanings and ideas behind their songs.If you want to understand the words to the songs,“Pop Words” is the program for you.After all,it’s hard enough for native English speakers to understand most pop songs—so,if English isn’t your first language,you shouldn’t be surprised if the words of many songs leave you in the dark.
