M: Hello. International Friends Club. Can I help you?
W: Oh, hello. I read about your club in the paper today and I thought I'd phone to find out a bit more.
M: Yes, certainly. Well, we're a sort of social club for people from different countries. It's quite a new club—we have about 50 members at the moment but we're growing all the time.
W: That sounds interesting. I'm British actually, and I came to Washington about three months ago. I'm looking for ways to meet people. Er, what kinds of events do you organize?
M: Well, we have social get-togethers, and sports events, and we also have language evenings.
W: Could you tell me something about the language evenings?
M: Yes. Every day except Thursday we have a language evening. People can come and practise their languages—you know, over a drink or something. We have different languages on different evenings. Monday—Spanish; Tuesday—Italian; Wednesday—German; and Friday—French. On Thursday we usually have a meal in a restaurant for anyone who wants to come.
W: Well, that sounds great. I really need to practise my French.
M: OK. Well, if you can just give me your name and address, I'll send you the form and some more information. If you join now, you can have the first month free.

听下面一段对话，回答第13至第16四个小题。现在，你有20秒钟的时间阅读这四个小题。
W: A big dog celebrates a big birthday this year. Clifford, the big red dog, first appeared 50 years ago along with Emily Elizabeth, a little girl who loves him. Today we have Norman Bridwell, to talk with NPR's reporter on his dog's 50th birthday. So, Norman, tell us how it all started.
M: Well, it was 1962, and I was a struggling, not very successful artist in New York. My wife suggested that I try my hand at painting for children's books. So I did ten paintings and took them to publishers. I was turned down everywhere, except one publisher, where a young woman told me I wasn't very good. So if I wanted to paint for a book, I need to write one on my own.
W: So you did?
M: Umm... the woman pointed to a painting I'd done， of a little girl with a big red dog, and she said, "Maybe that's a story. " And I went home， and over that weekend I wrote the story—Clifford the Big Red Dog，and was shocked when it was accepted for publication, because I'd never written anything before.
W: I see. How wonderful!
M: Yes, it was! My wife was also in shock when she did realize it wasn't a dream. But, it was just luck.
W: But that luck turned into 90 Clifford books that have sold 126 million copies in 13 languages.

听下面一段独白，回答第17至第20四个小题。现在，你有20秒钟的时间阅读这四个小题。
M: Hello, everyone. Today I'm going to talk about small talk, that is, short conversations people often have with strangers they meet. Such exchanges occur at bus stops, on buses, while waiting in line, almost anywhere that strangers gather close together. As a matter of fact, these short conversations are a good way for people to say hello and express friendliness. Such conversations usually cover a wide range of topics. The topics may include weather, customer service, movies, TV shows, local sports or latest news. But you should always keep it in your mind that private questions about salaries, family life, religious beliefs and politics should be avoided during these conversations. Besides, it's better to ask open-ended questions. If you ask visitors, "Do you like our city? " They may say simply, "Yes". On the other hand, if you ask, "What do you think of our city? " They will have more freedom in answering. This type of question also shows that you are interested in them. If you appear interested in what people are saying, they'd feel more comfortable talking with you.
