听力材料:COVERSATION 1
T=Teacher S=Student
T:Shh! Listen carefully!
T:Did you hear that No How about this
T:If you couldn't hear the first one, it means you're not a dog! Dogs can hear very high frequency sounds, but people can't. And if you could hear the second one, you're younger than 25.
S:Wow! Why is that
T:Our ears change when we get older. Children and young people can hear the second one, but most people older than 25 can't.
While-listening
COVERSATION 2
T=Teacher A=Team A B=Team B
T:Today's topic is “Should teenagers date?” Team A, please begin.
A:We say no, they shouldn't. One reason is that teenagers are too young. They should think about schoolwork and spend more time studying.
B:We don't agree with Team A. Our answer is “Yes”. Teenagers can date if they want. It is quite natural for a teenager at that age to feel he or she likes somebody. We think it's possible for teenagers to date and study at the same time.
T:Team A ...

J: Did you hear about the Cartoon Club
A: Yes, I love cartoons! But what do they do in the club Watch cartoons
J: No, they write stories and draw cartoons.
