6、m from China.from near Shanghai.Interviewer: And when did you move hereYu Hong: I came here after I graduated from college. That was in 1992.Interviewer: And what do you do nowYu Hong: I'm a transportation engineer.Interviewer: I see. So you 're an immigrant to the United StatesYu Hong: Yes,

7、 that's right.Interviewer: What are some of the difficulties of being an immigrant in the .Yu Hong: Oh, That's not an easy question to answer. There are so many things really. I guess one of the biggest difficulties is that I don't have any relatives here. I mean, I have a lot of friends

8、, but that's not the same thing. In China, on the holidays or the weekend, we visit relatives. It isn't the same here.Interviewer: And what do you miss the most from homeYu Hong: Oh, that's easy, my mom's soup! She makes great soup. I really miss my mother's cooking.(3): Hey! Are

9、 these pictures of you when you were a kidB: Yeah! That s me in front of my uncle s beach house. When I was a kid, we used to spend two weeks there every summer.A: Wow, I bet that was fun!B: Yeah. We always had a great time. Every day we used to get up early and walk along the beach. I have a great

10、shell collection. In fact, I think it s still up in the attic!A: Hey, I used to collect shells, too, when I was a kid. But my parents threw them out!: You know what I remember most about growing upB: WhatA: Visiting my grandparent' s house you know, on holidays and stuff. They lived way out in t

11、he country, and my granddad had a horse named Blackie. He taught me how to ride. I just love that horse-and she loved me, too! I used to really enjoy spending time at my grandparent s house. And every time I came back, Blackie remembered me.B: Ah, memories!(4) : Why is there never a bus when you wan

12、t oneB: Good question. There aren t enough buses on this route.A: Sometimes I feel like writing a letter to the paper.B: Good idea. You should say that we need more subway lines, too.A: Yeah. There should be more public transportation in general.B: And fewer cars! There s too much traffic.A: Say, is

13、 that our bus comingB: Yes, it is. But look. It s full!A: Oh, no! Let s go and get a cup of coffee. We can talk about this letter I m going to write.: So you are really going to write a letter to the paperB: Sure. I m going to say something about the buses. They re too old. We need more modern buses

14、 nice air-conditioned ones.B: And they need to put more buses on the road.A: Right. And there are too many cars downtown, and there isn t enough parking.B: That s for sure. It s impossible to find a parking space downtown these days.A: I think they should ban private cars downtown between nine and f

15、ive.B: Oh, you mean they shouldn t allow any cars except taxis and buses during the regular workday. Hmm that sounds like a really good idea.(5)a number of things have been done to help solve traffic problems in Singapore. For example, motorists must buy a special pass if they want to drive into the

16、 downtown business district. They can go into the business district only if they have the pass displayed on their windshield.Another thing Singapore has done is to make it more difficult to buy cars. People have to apply for a certificate if they want to buy a car. And the number of certificates is

17、limited. Not everyone can get one.There is also a high tax on cars, so it costs three or four times as much to buy a car in Singapore as it does in, say, the United States or Canada.The other thing Singapore has done is to build an excellent pubic transportation system. Their subway system is one of

18、 the best in the world. And there is also a very good taxi and bus system.(6): Excuse me. Could you tell me where the bank isB: There s one upstairs, across from the duty-free shop.A: Oh, thanks. Do you know what time it opensB: It should be open now. It opens at 8:.A: Good. And can you tell me how

19、often the buses leave for the cityB: You need to check at the transportation counter. It s right down the hall.A: OK. And just one more thing. Do you know where the nearest restroom isB: Right behind you, ma am. See that signA: Oh. Thanks a lot.: Excuse me. It s me again. I m sorry. I need some more

20、 informationif you don t mind.B: Not at all.A: Thanks. Do you know how much a taxi costs to the cityB: Well, it depends on the traffic, of course. But it usually costs about forty dollars.A: Forty dollars I guess I ll take the bus. That means I have almost an hour till the next one. Where could I fi

21、nd an inexpensive restaurant in the airport Maybe a fast-food placeB: Go upstairs and turn right. You ll see the snack bar on your left.A: Thanks very much. Have a nice day.B: You, too.(7) : What do you thinkB: Well, it has just as many bedrooms as the last apartment. And the living room is huge.C:

22、But the bedrooms are too small. And there isn t enough closet space for my clothes.A: And it s not as cheap as the last apartment we saw.B: But that apartment was dark and dingy. And it was in a dangerous neighborhood.A: Let s see if the real estate agent has something else to show us.: Well, um,how

23、 do you like this space, thenC: Oh, it s much better than that other one. The thing I like best is the bedrooms. They are too huge!B: Yes, they are nice and big.C: And there are two bathrooms! I could have my own bathroom!B: Yes, I guess you could.C: The only problem is the color of the living room.

24、 I really don t like those dark green walls.A: Oh, I m sure we can change the color if we want to.: Creative Rentals. Good morning.B: Hello. I m calling about the apartment you have for rent.A: Yes. What can I tell you about itB: Where is it, exactlyA: It s on King Street, just off the freeway.B: Oh

25、, near the freeway. Can you hear the trafficA: Yes, I m afraid you do hear some. But the apartment has lots of space. It has three bedrooms and a very large living roomB: I see. And is it in a new buildingA: Well, the building is about fifty years old.B: Uh-huh. Well, I ll think about it.A: OK. Than

26、ks for calling.B: Thank you. Bye(8): HelloB: Hello. Is the apartment you re advertising still availableA: Yes, it is.B: Can you tell me a little about itA: Well, it s a perfect apartment for one person. It s one room with a kitchen at one end.B: I see. And is it far away from the subwayA: There s a

27、subway station just down the street. Actually, the apartment is located right downtown, so you step out of the building and there are stores and restaurants everywhere. But it s on a high floor, so you don t hear any street or traffic noise.B: It sounds like just the kind of place I m looking for. I

28、 d like to come see it, please.A: Sure. Let me give you the address.:Town and city can I help youB:Hi! Um,Is that apartment you advertised still availableA:Yes, it is.B:Oh, good. Um, listen,I,I can't pay too much. So the low prise you asking is- - is really good for me.A:Great.B;And how big is i

31、n t like it, though.A: That s too bad. Why notB: Well, it s boring, and it doesn t pay very well.A: I know what you mean. I don t like my job either. I wish I could find a better job.B: Actually, I don t want to work at all anymore. I wish I had a lot of money so I could retire now.A: Hmm, how old a

32、re you, TerryB: Uh, twenty-six.: So how are things going with you and Susie, TerryB: Oh, you didn t know She and I broke up a couple of months ago. We decided we needed a break from each other for a while. But I miss her a lot. I wish we could get back together again.A: I m sure you will.B: I really

33、 hope so. So what kind of job would you like to look forA: I m not sure, but I d love something that would involve travel. And I d really like to move to another city. I m sick of this place. I need to live somewhere more exciting.B: I know what you mean. It sure can get boring around here at times.

34、(10)1. A: Ugh! I feel awful. I really have to stop smoking.B: So why don't you quitA: Well, if I quit, I might gain weight!B: A lot of people do, but.A: And if I gain weight, I won't be able to fit into any of clothes!B: Well, you can always go on a diet.A: Oh, no. I'm terrible at losing

36、o it can't be that difficult. You should try a nicotine gum. You chew it just like regular chewing gum, and you don't feel like smoking.B: Well, I guess it's worth a try., I really need a change. I ve been doing the same things for over five years now, and I m just not learning anything

37、new. It s the same routine every day, and I am really sick of sitting in front of a computer. I think I need to try something totally different. I want to be in a profession that involves meeting people.really need to join a club or sports team to give me something to do on weekends. I get really bo

38、red on the weekends, and if I joined a club. I d probably get to meet people and make new friends., I really have to go on a diet. I ve gained ten pounds since last year, and everyone tells me I look fat. And if I don t lose weight now, I won t be able to get into any of my summer clothes.11): Hey,

He wants to come with me!: What should people do to make their visit to New York City safe and pleasantB: I think the biggest mistake many

50、people make is trying to do too much in a short time. There s so much to see and do that you need to have a plan. It s best to start planning before you get here, so you have information about hotels, restaurants, sightseeing, and so on. Visitors can use our Web site to get the information they need

51、 to start planning before they come here; or they can phone or fax us.Interviewer: How safe is New York City for touristsSpokesperson: New York is a much safer place than many people think. In facit, s the s afest it s been in thirty years!Interviewer: Oh, that s good to hear!Spokesperson: Yes, but

52、thatdoesn t mean people dont have to be careful; tourists in N ew York ought to be careful, just like in any big city in the world. For students, I would sa y travel in groups. If you get lost, it s easier as a group to find your way. You really shoul dnt go off on your own if you can find someone t

53、o go with you. Another thing to remem ber is: Dont be afraid to ask for directions, even if your Englishisn t perfect. People ofte n stop me on the street to ask for directions, and that s not only foreign visitors. Americ an visitors also have trouble finding their way around; and you flilnd New Yo

54、rkers are re ally very friendly.Interviewer: Yes, I agree. We are!Spokesperson: Uh-huh.Interviewer: Is there any other advice you can give visitors to the Big AppleSpokesperson: Well, another thing to remember is not to leave anything valuable in you r car if you have one.Dont leave suitcases on the

55、 back seat where people can see them, and it s better not to even leave them in the truck. Most cars are very easy to get into. S o it s not worth the risk. But most people have a great time when they come to New Yor k. And you will, too. If you use your common sense.（ 14）:Jason- Jason! Turn down th
