独白A
Airplanes are amazing. How does something so big and heavy get off the ground? I’m always amazed at how the millions of different parts work together. Travelling by airplane is always a wonderful experience. I don’t care whether economy class is cramped and has no space. I like playing with the in-flight entertainment system, especially now they have all the latest movies. I also love airplane food. Many of my friends say it’s disgusting, but I love it. I often ask the passenger next to me if I can have the dessert or roll they don’t want. The only thing I don’t like about planes is turbulence. When the airplane hits those air pockets, I always worry we’ll crash. But I once read that turbulence has never caused an airplane to crash.
独白B
Aren’t airports strange places? There’s so much happening in them. People coming, people going; people crying with sadness because they’re going away, people crying with joy because they’ve arrived. Big airports are almost like small towns. It seems like you walk across a town by the time you check in and get to your departure gate. The thing I like most about airports is people watching. There are people from all over the world. I also like how everything fits and works together. You check your luggage in and then it disappears, before you see it again at the next airport. I still think airports need improving. There’s not a lot to do there. Airports really need to have an entertainment area so people can kill time.

M: Oh, yes, I’m calling to inquire about joining the club.
W: Fine, what would you like to know?
M: Well, I wanted to get a picture of what the club is like, for example, how big is it?
W: Well， that changes each year, of course. Cycling is growing in popularity. The number of the cyclists has increased by 20% so far...

【原文】M: How long are you planning to stay here?
W: I've got 2 weeks altogether. What do you suggest I see?
M: Well, some of our national parks are highly recommended. You've got lots of old buildings in your country. Ours is a fairly new country, but I guess we've got some of the most beautiful mountains and countryside in the world. It might be a great idea to hire a car and drive around for a couple of weeks?
W: Is it expensive to rent a car?
M: No, not very. You need a driving license. Have you got one?
W: Yes.
M: I think you'd better fly somewhere in the west. Then you can pick up a car and travel around.
W: That sounds great! Thanks a lot.

【原文】M: Excuse me.
W: What can I do for you?
M: I have a ticket to Chicago. How can I get there as soon as possible?
W: Let me see. Yes, here we are. There’s a flight leaving at 2:40, getting in at 5:15. Is that OK?
M: That’s fine.
W: All right. I’ll just change your ticket. Do you have baggage to check in?
M: Here’s my baggage. Can I take this as a carry-on?
W: Yes, that’s fine. No problem. Here’s your ticket. It leaves at Gate 54. Be there one hour before departure.
M: Thank you very much.
W: You’re welcome. Have a good trip.

【原文】W: Do you ever try to learn English by watching TV?
M: Sometimes. But they talk so fast that I can’t make out the words. It’s much too hard to understand.
W: I know what you mean. I have never understood the jokes in the comedies. People in this country have a strange sense of humor.
M: But sometimes I can figure out some of the phrases and idioms, so I seem to be learning.
W: That’s good. Well, I think we should be out talking to people instead of watching TV.
M: You’re right. But that’s really hard. Yesterday, I was waiting in line at the cafeteria. It seemed like an hour and I got very angry. The guy behind me told me to “keep my shirt on”. I had no idea what he meant. About ten minutes later, the meaning dawned on me.
W: What does it mean?
M: “Be patient.”
W: How did you figure that out?
M: From the situation, he wasn’t angry. He was calm. Besides, I didn't think he was interested in my shirt!
W: That adds up. You’re very good at figuring out idioms, man!

【原文】Fast food isn’t quite as fast as it used to be. A new study finds that McDonald’s has posted its slowest drive-through time since the service was first conducted 15 years ago. At McDonald’s, customers spend on average 3 minutes and 9 seconds from the time they place their orders until they receive their food, as about ten seconds more than the industry average, a lot slower than a decade ago according to the study, which was conducted by QSR, an industry trade publication. And McDonald’s isn’t alone in slowing down; other chains also see their drive-through performance slow down. Among the reasons for the slowing service, today there are more choices on the menu and products themselves are more complex and take longer to prepare. Speed, of course, is essential to the drive-through experience, and drive-throughs are hugely important to chains such as McDonald’s, Burger King and Tacobell. Usually, the drive-through accounts for 60 to 70 percent of all business that go through a fast food restaurant, notes Sam Ochers, editor of QSR. Of course, consumers also want their orders prepared correctly, and on that score, Ochers says accuracy is still really high.
