From the graph
above, we can easily observe that family spending
on education in China
has a steady
increase in the past decade, with the number
reaching 983 billion in 2013, which
nearly triples the number in 2004.
Many factors contribute to the ever-
increasing education spending,
the
starting
line
being
one
of
them.
Many
parents
spend
a
lot
of
money
on
pre-school
education. They try to send kids to the
best kindergartens whose tuition fees are much
higher
than
that
of
universities.
Choosing
better
primary
and
middle
schools
also
takes
money.
Normally,
students
must
attend
schools
within
the
district
where
they
live.
However,
many
parents prefer to send their children
to a better-known school in other districts
regardless of the
large
sum
of
Apart
from
formal
education,
parents
also
pay
their
children
for
various after-school programs, from
common painting or dancing classes to expensive
overseas
summer camps.
There
is nothing wrong with parents' passion for
education, but parents should keep in mind
that spending more money doesn't
necessarily guarantee a better education for
children. Money
should be put where it
matters most.

Transcript
Section A
1.
M: I don't
want to buy the book Prof. Brown told us to read
for the exam. Do you think you
could
lend me yours?
W: Well, I'm not using
it right now, but I really need to keep it handy
just in case.
Q: What does
the woman mean?
2.
M: So you
and Julie are no longer roommates? I'm not
surprised. You two never did things very
compatible.
W: Yeah, well...
It's not that we didn't get along... We just
didn't have much in common.
Q: What can be inferred about the
woman?
3.
W: My
parents think I ought to buy a computer. You know
now I'm in college. But I hate to
spend
so much of my savings now.
M: I'd say it's probably a worthwhile
investment.
Q: What does
the man mean?
4.
W: Have you decided whether you are
going to get an apartment off campus next year, or
are
you staying in the dorm?
M: We are still talking about the pros
and cons. I don't know. To me it seems like six of
one and
half a dozen of the other.
Q: What does the man mean?
5.
W: Thank
heaven. It's Friday. Are you doing anything
special this weekend?
M:
Good question. To tell you the truth, my brother
might be coming over and so everything is
up in the air right now.
Q:
What does the man mean?
6.
W: Oh, hi, I hate to tell you but we're
done with lunch and the dessert is on its way. We
decided
you weren't going to show up.
M: I can understand that. I've never
seen such traffic. I am glad you didn't wait.
Q: What does the man mean?
7.
M: Oh, no, I
think we left that road map at home. Do you know
how to get to the beach?
W:
No, I didn't But since we haven't gone very far,
we might as well just turn around.
Q: What will the man and the woman
probably do?
8.

M: I really
enjoy the play. The students did a great job with
the scenery. It looks so authentic. I
felt like I was back in the 19th
century.
W:
I
wish
you
could
say
the
same
thing
about
the
costumes.
But
anyway
they've
done
very
well.
Q: What does the woman
imply?
Conversation One
W: May I help you?
M: Yes. I
would like to apply for one of the security guard
positions you advertised in the local
paper.
W: Good. May I ask
you a few questions first?
M:
Certainly.
W: Have you ever worked as a
security guard before?
M: Yes, at
shoppers' plaza in San Francisco and at the
Regency Hotel here in town.
W: How many
years of experience have you had as a security
guard?
M: A little over four years.
W: Have you had experience monitoring
alarm systems?
M: Yes. I've monitored
several types of alarm systems in my previous
jobs.
W: Very good. You seem to meet
our minimum qualifications. Do you have any
questions?
M: Yes. What are the wages
and the hours?
W:
The
wages
start
at
eight
dollars
and
seventy-five
cents
per
hour.
We
have
three
shifts
available: morning, evening, and late
night.

evening job, since Igo to school in the mornings.
W: Well, you can write on
your application that you preferthe evening shift.
M: What do I need to do
now?
W: Complete this application form
and bring it back to I'll schedule you for
another
interview.

Saturday?

The

to

money
for
the
Riverdale
hospital.
The

are for the many special events and displays. And
this year there'll be quite a few new
events. I'm going to help serve food at
