听力原文:M: Hi, Christi, I brought you some tea.
W: Thanks, Mark. Too bad it' s not apple tea, like in Turkey.
M: Yeah, too bad! You really liked living in Turkey, didn't you?
W: Yeah, it was great. Turkish people are so warm and generous.
M: How do you like the food in Turkey, Christi?
W: Oh, the food was fantastic ! But you know what I couldn't get used to? How much people expected me to eat, I gained so much weight while I was living there!
M: Yes, it' s so polite to be generous. We think people aren' t polite if they don' t offer a lot of food.
W: I know. I also learned that it' s not polite for the guest to accept the offer of food at first.
M: Yes, that' s definitely tree! If you' re the guest, you must refuse the first two offers of food.
W: The first time I had dinner at a Turkish home, I felt rode refusing food. So I ate everything. And I kept on eating. . , and eating. Every time the host offered me something, I ate it.
M: Do you know how to stop the host from offering you food? You must leave some food on your plate. That way the host knows that yon' re full.
W: Oh, is that the trick? In the United States, we usually eat everything. You don' t want the host to think that you don' t like the food.
M: That is a difference. You know what happened to me the first time I had dinner at an American home? When my hostess offered me a second helping of food, I said" no" the first time, to be polite. But she didn't offer again! I was still hungry when I left the house!
W: Americans think it' s not polite to insist. We don' t want to force you to eat more if you don' t want more. So if you say" no" the first time, we believe what you say and we don' t offer again.
M: I learned that lesson the hard way. Now if someone asks me if I want something, I say "yes" the frost time -- even though I feel rude.
W: Would you like something to eat?
M: No, no, I am not hungry.
W: Ha, ha.

听力原文:M: Excuse me. Are you waiting to buy tickets?
W: Yes, I am. So are all these people in front of me.
M: Have you been here long?
W: About 45 minutes. I' ve moved forward a total of about 3 feet in that time.
M: You' re kidding.
W: Not at all. There was a couple up ahead of me who got so disgusted they finally gave up and left. They said they' d been waiting for more than an hour.
M: Terrific. Does anyone know what's causing the delay?
W: If so, no one has let us know. It could be that there aren' t enough people selling tickets this afternoon. Or maybe their computer is down. I' m sure the concert hasn' t been cancelled.
M: I just hope they don' t run ont of tickets before I get up there.
W: That really would be annoying, wouldn' t it?
M: I guess I should have come before lunch. Or has it been like this all day?
W: Apparently it has. In fact, before I came I tried calling to charge my tickets over the phone, just to avoid this long wait. But they' re not taking phone orders, or checks, or credit cards. It' s cash or nothing, and you have to come in person.
M: Well, there' re two more hours before the ticket office closes. Tickets for a good concert are worth waiting for. So I think I' ll just make myself comfortable.
