听力原文：I: What made you take off to the country ill the first place, Tom？
T: Well, I suppose anyone who moves to the country wants their life to be different in some way. I mean, if you have always lived in a city, something must happen to make you want to move. In my case, I just couldn't face going back into an office again when it came to looking for a new job.
I: So you began thinking about the country？
T: No, at first I just thought about getting a different kind of work, social work with kids or old people.
I: And what happened？ Why didn't you？
T: I haven't got any right diplomas, and it would have taken me two years to be qualified. I was not going back to formal education again.
I: So where did you decide to move？
T: I went right to Shropshire. The first problem though was how I could make a living — there are fewer jobs in the country, so I decided to start up on my own.
I: That's ambitious. How did you start, had you got any skills？
T: I'd always had a garden and grown some vegetables and flowers, so I thought of a small holding, a kind of farm. But when I looked at the price, I changed my mind.
I: Ok, a farm's out, so what next？
T: I settled on a nursery and bought my way into a partnership...
I: Well, ladies and gentlemen, don't go away — we are coming back to Tom's story after the advertisements.
Why did Tom go to live in the country？

听力原文： Many of the heroes of ail times have been distinguished men of the sea. Such a man was Thomas Scott. Captain Scott performed many brave deeds, but perhaps his most remarkable act was the saving of hundreds men, women, and children who were crossing the Hudson River in a ferryboat. It was winter and the river was full of blocks of ice. As the ferry boat crossed the river, a tugboat ran into it. The collision cut a great V-shaped hole in its side. Men, women, and children were soon screaming with fright as the water poured into the engine room. In a few minutes the boat would have sunk, plunging all the passengers into the icy water.
Fortunately, Captain Scott happened to be passing in a river tugboat. He quickly pulled his boat up to the sinking ship and sprang to its deck. Rushing down to the engine room, he plugged the hole with everything he could find. Still, water came in. Then he thrust his arm into the hole and stopped the water with his body. For an hour he held back the water until the boat reached the dock and everyone was saved.
It can be inferred that Scott was a hero because

SECTION A CONVERSATIONS
Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文：M: Oh, hello, Lee Dong. Come on in, and how have you been keeping recently？
W: Quite all right, thanks, Dr. Francis. How is your project going？
M: Very smoothly, I should say. I'm playing a consultancy role, really. I have only been here a month, but I'm already on very good terms with my colleagues in the Department of Computer Science. Well, I'm happy that you could come. Do sit down, please.
W: Dr. Francis, do you know I've got a chance to go to Cambridge in August？ I wonder if you could tell me something about Britain.
M: Certainly. Well, I was actually brought up in Scotland. Erm, in fact, I've never been to Cambridge. But well...yes, I'm sure I can give you some useful tips. Now, what do you want to know, Lee Dong？
W: Things like weather. What's the usual temperature there？
M: Mmm, the temperature in Scotland is 22, or 23 degrees Centigrade on average, I think. But Cambridge would be warmer, around 25, I would guess, because it's down south.
W: Oh, that's nice. Do you know it is 34 here？ Last year it reached 39. By the way, where do you think I should stay？
M: Oh, that's important. You can, er...I suppose, stay in the college-owned flats, which are often near where you have your classes, and some are even on the campus. That would certainly be convenient.
W: Yes, it would.
M: But it can also be a disadvantage because you are, in a sense, separate from ordinary society. You are a language teacher, and I think learning from society is a valuable experience.
W: Yes, yes, exactly, so what's the alternative？
M: Maybe finding an English family. I know of a student Ali from the Middle East. He told me that he had learned a lot by staying with a British family.
W: Thank you, I think it's quite a good suggestion. By the way, Dr. Francis, do you think I could...？
