听力原文:M: Good morning, Ms. Smith. Welcome to today's show.
W: Thank you.
M: Today we're going to talk about the living of foreign students in our country. You know, for many international students, coming to the United States and living here and studying can be a quite frightening experience, especially when finding housing. Can you give them some advice?
W: Sure. Fortunately, there are a variety of options that students can look to. They can choose to live on campus or off campus.
M: Then can you say something about on-campus living?
W: Well, I think first of all for first-time students, coming and (22)living on campus in dormitories can provide a certain level of security because of its closeness to campus facilities since commuting without a car can be quite an experience, especially when you have to commute long distances. Often in dormitories, meals might be provided, and this can allow students to devote time to their academies, rather than housekeeping.
M: That sounds quite good. Is there anything students should pay attention to when living on campus?
W: Yes, (23)students should be aware that they'll be required to abide by certain regulations dealing with student eonduct as part of the contract and living on campus.
M: Then what about off-campus living?
W: (24)Like living in dormitories, uh, living off campus in an apartment requires little or no maintenance specifically because usually it is handled by someone else. Also, when you live off campus, there might be a certain amount of flexibility in choosing roommates that you might not have when living on campus. (25)But you should be aware that tenants may be responsible for furnishing their own apartments.
M: Well, thank you, Ms. Smith, for the information you have provided for us.
W:My pleasure.

In country after country, talk of nonsmokers' rights is in the air. This fresh voice is heard from Australia to Sweden. Its force is freeing clean air for nonsmokers -- and tightening the situation for smokers.
While a majority of countries have taken little or no action yet, some 30 nations have introduced legislative steps to control smoking abuse. Many laws have been introduced in other countries to help clear the air for nonsmokers, or to cut cigarette consumption.
In many developing nations, however, cigarette smoking is seen as a sign of economic progress -- and is even encouraged. While it appears that in developed countries the consumption of cigarettes has become stabilized, there are some indications that it is still rising at a steady pace in Latin America.
Despite progress in segregating (分开) nonsmokers and smokers, most countries see little change in the number of smokers. In fact, there is a jump in the number of girls and young women starting to smoke.
So far, any cooperation between tobacco interests and governments' campaigns against smoking has been in the area of tobacco advertising.
Restrictions on cigarette ads, plus health warnings on packages and bans on public smoking in certain places, are the most popular tools used by nations in support of nonsmokers or in curbing (抑制) smoking.
But world attention also is focusing on other steps which will:
-- Prevent pro-smoking scenes on TV and films.
-- Remove cigarette vending machines.
-- Make it illegal to sell or hand over tobacco products to minors.
-- Boost cigarette prices with higher tobacco taxes.

A. the topic of nonsmokers' rights is a hot issue for discussion
B. the expression "Don't puff on me" is posted everywhere
