6、from near Shanghai.Interviewer: And when did you move here?Yu Hong: I came here after I graduated from college. That was in 1992.Interviewer: And what do you do now?Yu Hong: Im a transportation engineer.Interviewer: I see. So you re an immigrant to the United States?Yu Hong: Yes, thats right.Intervi

7、ewer: What are some of the difficulties of being an immigrant in the U.S.?Yu Hong: Oh, Thats not an easy question to answer. There are so many things really. I guess one of the biggest difficulties is that I dont have any relatives here. I mean, I have a lot of friends, but thats not the same thing.

8、 In China, on the holidays or the weekend, we visit relatives. It isnt the same here.Interviewer: And what do you miss the most from home?Yu Hong: Oh, thats easy, my moms soup! She makes great soup. I really miss my mothers cooking.(3) 1.A: Hey! Are these pictures of you when you were a kid?B: Yeah!

9、 Thats me in front of my uncles beach house. When I was a kid, we used to spend two weeks there every summer. A: Wow, I bet that was fun!B: Yeah. We always had a great time. Every day we used to get up early and walk along the beach. I have a great shell collection. In fact, I think its still up in

10、the attic!A: Hey, I used to collect shells, too, when I was a kid. But my parents threw them out!2.A: You know what I remember most about growing up?B: What?A: Visiting my grandparents house you know, on holidays and stuff. They lived way out in the country, and my granddad had a horse named Blackie

11、. He taught me how to ride. I just love that horse-and she loved me, too! I used to really enjoy spending time at my grandparents house. And every time I came back, Blackie remembered me.B: Ah, memories!(4) 1.A: Why is there never a bus when you want one?B: Good question. There arent enough buses on

12、 this route.A: Sometimes I feel like writing a letter to the paper.B: Good idea. You should say that we need more subway lines, too.A: Yeah. There should be more public transportation in general.B: And fewer cars! Theres too much traffic.A: Say, is that our bus coming?B: Yes, it is. But look. Its fu

13、ll!A: Oh, no! Lets go and get a cup of coffee. We can talk about this letter Im going to write.2.A: So you are really going to write a letter to the paper?B: Sure. Im going to say something about the buses. Theyre too old. We need more modern buses nice air-conditioned ones.B: And they need to put m

14、ore buses on the road.A: Right. And there are too many cars downtown, and there isnt enough parking.B: Thats for sure. Its impossible to find a parking space downtown these days.A: I think they should ban private cars downtown between nine and five.B: Oh, you mean they shouldnt allow any cars except

15、 taxis and buses during the regular workday. Hmm that sounds like a really good idea.(5)1.Quite a number of things have been done to help solve traffic problems in Singapore. For example, motorists must buy a special pass if they want to drive into the downtown business district. They can go into th

16、e business district only if they have the pass displayed on their windshield.Another thing Singapore has done is to make it more difficult to buy cars. People have to apply for a certificate if they want to buy a car. And the number of certificates is limited. Not everyone can get one.There is also

17、a high tax on cars, so it costs three or four times as much to buy a car in Singapore as it does in, say, the United States or Canada.The other thing Singapore has done is to build an excellent pubic transportation system. Their subway system is one of the best in the world. And there is also a very

18、 good taxi and bus system.(6) 1.A: Excuse me. Could you tell me where the bank is?B: Theres one upstairs, across from the duty-free shop.A: Oh, thanks. Do you know what time it opens?B: It should be open now. It opens at 8:00A.M.A: Good. And can you tell me how often the buses leave for the city?B:

19、You need to check at the transportation counter. Its right down the hall.A: OK. And just one more thing. Do you know where the nearest restroom is?B: Right behind you, maam. See that sign?A: Oh. Thanks a lot.2.A: Excuse me. Its me again. Im sorry. I need some more informationif you dont mind.B: Not

20、at all.A: Thanks. Do you know how much a taxi costs to the city?B: Well, it depends on the traffic, of course. But it usually costs about forty dollars.A: Forty dollars? I guess Ill take the bus. That means I have almost an hour till the next one. Where could I find an inexpensive restaurant in the

21、airport? Maybe a fast-food place?B: Go upstairs and turn right. Youll see the snack bar on your left.A: Thanks very much. Have a nice day.B: You, too.(7) 1.A: What do you think?B: Well, it has just as many bedrooms as the last apartment. And the living room is huge.C: But the bedrooms are too small.

22、 And there isnt enough closet space for my clothes.A: And its not as cheap as the last apartment we saw.B: But that apartment was dark and dingy. And it was in a dangerous neighborhood.A: Lets see if the real estate agent has something else to show us.2.A: Well, um,how do you like this space, then?C

23、: Oh, its much better than that other one. The thing I like best is the bedrooms. They are too huge!B: Yes, they are nice and big.C: And there are two bathrooms! I could have my own bathroom!B: Yes, I guess you could.C: The only problem is the color of the living room. I really dont like those dark

24、green walls.A: Oh, Im sure we can change the color if we want to.3.A: Creative Rentals. Good morning.B: Hello. Im calling about the apartment you have for rent.A: Yes. What can I tell you about it?B: Where is it, exactly?A: Its on King Street, just off the freeway.B: Oh, near the freeway. Can you he

25、ar the traffic?A: Yes, Im afraid you do hear some. But the apartment has lots of space. It has three bedrooms and a very large living roomB: I see. And is it in a new building?A: Well, the building is about fifty years old.B: Uh-huh. Well, Ill think about it.A: OK. Thanks for calling.B: Thank you. B

26、ye(8)1.A: Hello？B: Hello. Is the apartment youre advertising still available?A: Yes, it is.B: Can you tell me a little about it?A: Well, its a perfect apartment for one person. Its one room with a kitchen at one end.B: I see. And is it far away from the subway?A: Theres a subway station just down th

27、e street. Actually, the apartment is located right downtown, so you step out of the building and there are stores and restaurants everywhere. But its on a high floor, so you dont hear any street or traffic noise.B: It sounds like just the kind of place Im looking for. Id like to come see it, please.

28、A: Sure. Let me give you the address.2.A:Town and city rentals.How can I help you?B:Hi! Um,Is that apartment you advertised still available?A:Yes, it is.B:Oh, good. Um, listen,I,I cant pay too much. So the low prise you asking isis really good for me.A:Great.B;And how big is it?A:Its two rooms plus

29、the kichen and bathroom.B:Well, is it a safe place to live?A:Well,I can tell you Ive lived here for five years and I never heard about anybody having a problem.B:Oh, thats good. Uh, let see, oh yeah, does the apartment have a lot of windows?A:Windows, yes, there are plenty of windows, but unfortunat

30、ely,there isn much light really. See, theres another building right next to ours.B:Oh,thats OK. Im never around in the day anyway. Do you think its alright if I come and look at it?A:Anytime.When you wanna see it.（9）1.A: So where are you working now, Terry?B: Oh, Im still at the bank. I dont like it

31、, though.A: Thats too bad. Why not?B: Well, its boring, and it doesnt pay very well.A: I know what you mean. I dont like my job either. I wish I could find a better job.B: Actually, I dont want to work at all anymore. I wish I had a lot of money so I could retire now.A: Hmm, how old are you, Terry?B

32、: Uh, twenty-six.2.A: So how are things going with you and Susie, Terry?B: Oh, you didnt know? She and I broke up a couple of months ago. We decided we needed a break from each other for a while. But I miss her a lot. I wish we could get back together again.A: Im sure you will.B: I really hope so. S

33、o what kind of job would you like to look for?A: Im not sure, but Id love something that would involve travel. And Id really like to move to another city. Im sick of this place. I need to live somewhere more exciting.B: I know what you mean. It sure can get boring around here at times.(10)1. A: Ugh!

34、 I feel awful. I really have to stop smoking.B: So why dont you quit?A: Well, if I quit, I might gain weight!B: A lot of people do, but.A: And if I gain weight, I wont be able to fit into any of clothes!B: Well, you can always go on a diet.A: Oh, no. Im terrible at losing weight on diets. So if my c

35、lothes dont fit, Ill have to buy new ones. Ill have to get a part-time job, and.B: Listen, it is hard to quit, but its not that hard. Do you want to know how I did it?2.A: Well, giving up smoking isnt really as hard as you think. I managed to do it, so it cant be that difficult. You should try a nic

36、otine gum. You chew it just like regular chewing gum, and you dont feel like smoking.B: Well, I guess its worth a try.3.Yeah, I really need a change. Ive been doing the same things for over five years now, and Im just not learning anything new. Its the same routine every day, and I am really sick of

37、 sitting in front of a computer. I think I need to try something totally different. I want to be in a profession that involves meeting people.4.I really need to join a club or sports team to give me something to do on weekends. I get really bored on the weekends, and if I joined a club. Id probably

38、get to meet people and make new friends.5.Gosh, I really have to go on a diet. Ive gained ten pounds since last year, and everyone tells me I look fat. And if I dont lose weight now, I wont be able to get into any of my summer clothes.（11）1.A: Hey, this sounds good snails with garlic! Have you ever
