M:So, Macy, how was your holiday?

W:Oh, we loved it. Tom liked Germany best, but France was my favorite.

M:So did Rachel finally go with you?

M:That's a pity. So where exactly did you go and visit?

W:Well, we traveled all over Italy, Spain and Holland. We even bathed in the Swiss Lake.

听下面一段对话，回答第10至第12三个小题。

W:Bob, I am sure you know about second-hand smoke.

M:Of course, I do.

W:But, have you heard about third-hand smoke?

M:Third-hand smoke? I am afraid not. What is it then?

W:Well, it's here in today's paper. Parents may think they are protecting children from second-hand smoke when they smoke outside their home or only when the children are not there, but now researchers are warning about what they call third-hand smoke. When you smoke, dangerous matter from cigarettes gets into your hair and clothing. As babies are the weakest, when you come to a baby, you pass it to the baby and increase the chances of disease in the baby.

M:Is that so? In that case, I have to say that I should never get close to a baby.

W:That's right. Actually, all smoking parents should do the same or better give it up completely.

听下面一段对话，回答第13至第16四个小题。

M:Hello, welcome to our program“Today City”. I'm Larry. We are going to Louisville Kentucky where our guest Michelle Ray comes from. She is proud of her middle-sized city with a small town feel and big city dreams. Now, Michelle, tell us about your city.

W:Thank you, Larry. Here is my city. Louisville is my city. The first place I take a visitor from out of town is to the Highlands for shopping and night life. When I have delicious Asian food, I always go to the Zen Garden which provides wonderful all vegetable dishes.

M:Wow! That's interesting. Many people go for healthy food now.

W:You can say that again. If I want to go camping and fishing, I go to the Red River area. For complete quiet, I can hide away in my house with a good book from one of our public libraries.

M:That all sounds very exciting. I am sure some of our listeners will include Louisville in their travel plan for their next holiday. Thank you, Michelle!

M:We are glad to have Dr Garfield to talk to us today about dreams. Let me start by asking the first question—does everyone dream?

W:It appears that everyone does. Mostly when people say that they never dream, what they really mean is that they don't remember their dreams, or they don't think their dreams are important. The reason behind is that they might have been made fun of as a child when they first reported their dreams or it was so frightening that they just turned off dreaming completely. The other day someone named Davis came to me and said that he used to be a great dreamer, but suddenly he stopped having dreams. I asked him what had happened. It turned out that his brother died of heart attack and he never expected that such a terrible thing would happen to a young person. Generally, when there was some frightening event and the dream about it was too terrible, people prefer not to dream about it. Actually, the worst thing you can do is stop dreaming because it means that the bad experience was too painful to even appear in dreams. As long as you're dreaming about it, and even if the dream is frightening, your mind is working on it. My personal opinion about what dreams do is that they help us deal with our problems. We see certain patterns take place in dreams when a person is hurt deep inside, when a person is seriously ill, or when a person has been really sad. If people turn off their dreams totally, it means they don't allow themselves to even think about it.
