听力原文: My first semester of college was the worst I've been through. I had made plans during the summer to share an apartment with two of my close friends from high school. But before we moved in,problems started developing.
One of the two girls I was to share an apartment with was going to work instead of going to college。 However,a week before we were to move in,she found out that she didn't get the job. She is forced to live at home and look for work. The rest two of us lasted for a month and then agreed that we couldn't make it with the higher monthly rent payments. I started looking around.
I found another apartment and the rent wasn't bad. The place was noisy,but it was the best I could afford for the time. However,one day when I returned,I saw smoke coming from the back of the house. The cottage had caught fire,and my room was a burned mess。I was once more out of a place to stay.
I finally gave up looking around and moved home. I had to drive forty miles to school every day,so I almost spent as much on gas as I would have on lodging. I was very bored I almost lost the will to study. It had been really a bad semester!

听力原文:W: Hi, Jack, have you finished Professor Smith's assignment?
M: The assignment? No, not yet.
W: But tomorrow's the deadline.
M: Anna, take it easy. I can always pull it together in no time.
W: Hey, don't you think playing PC games takes up too much of your time?
M: Oh, computer games represent the latest technology. You can't simply ignore them.
W: I know. You can play as much as you like during the holiday, but not now. It's affecting your studies.
M: It's not. I feel I'm getting smarter day by day, and my reaction time is much quicker.
W: You only become alive and alert at those war games. In class, I saw you doze off.
M: It's not my fault. The textbooks are boring and the lectures are tedious. I dislike those teachers who love to call the roll. But the games are interesting, challenging and can broaden my mind as well.
W: I didn't say the games are all bad, but you can't play games all the time. Have you ever considered what you will do if you fail the exams?
M: well…
W: I know it's not easy to resist the temptation, but self-discipline is essential to one's success. It's part of one's character. Look at yourself in the mirror. You look pale and haggard. See, you have nothing but half a life.
M: Really? Oh, heavens!
