雅思听力原文

SUSIE:Hello?

PAUL:Hi,Susie,it’s Paul here.How are you?Enjoying your new job?You’re working at the library,aren’t you?

SUSIE:Yes.I started when the library re-opened a month ago.It’s great.

PAUL:Actually Carol and I have been meaning to join for a while.

SUSIE:Oh,you should.It doesn’t cost anything,and the new library has all sorts of facilities.It’s not just a place where you borrow books.For instance,there’s an area with comfortable seats where you can sit and read the magazines they have there.Some people spend the whole morning there.

PAUL:Mmm.Wish I had that amount of time to spend!

SUSIE:Yes,you must be pretty busy at present,with the children and everything?

PAUL:We are,yes.But we’re hoping to get away this summer.We’re thinking of going to Greece.

SUSIE:Well,we’ve got a much larger section of the library devoted to travel(Q1)books now,so you should come and have a look.I can’t remember if there’s anything specifically on Greece,but I should think so.

PAUL:OK.Now Carol’s organising a project for the history class she teaches at school–it’s about life in the town a hundred years ago.Do you have anything that might be useful?

SUSIE:Yes,actually we’ve now got a new section with materials on the history(Q2)of the town and surrounding region.

PAUL:Right.I’ll tell her.You can’t always find that sort of thing on the internet.Now in the old library there used to be a separate room with reference books.It was a really nice quiet room.

SUSIE:Yes.We’ve put those books in the main part of the library now,but we do have a room called the community room.It can be hired out for meetings.But at other times people can use it to study(Q3).

PAUL:I might use that.It’s hard to find anywhere quiet at home sometimes.

SUSIE:I can’t remember how old your son and daughter are.We’ve introduced a special section of fiction written specially for teenagers(Q4),but they might be a bit young for that?

PAUL:Yes,they would be.

SUSIE:Well,we do have lots of activities for younger children.

PAUL:Yes?

SUSIE:For example we have a Science Club.At the next meeting,they’re going to be doing experiments with stuff that everyone has in the kitchen(Q5)–sugar and flour and so on.

PAUL:They might be interested,yes.

SUSIE:And we have a competition for children called Reading Challenge.That doesn’t begin until after the end of term.They have to read six books,and they get a certificate if they manage it.

PAUL:So that gives them something to do while they’re on holiday,instead of getting bored.

SUSIE:That’s the idea.And there’s special activities for adults too.On Friday we have a local author called Tanya Streep who’s going to be talking about her new novel.This is from Laokaoya website.It’s called“Catch the Mouse”and she based the story on a crime(Q6)that actually took place here years ago.

PAUL:Right.We’re not free on Friday,but I’ll look out for the book.

SUSIE:Now this probably isn’t for you,but we do have IT support available for members.We get quite a few older people coming along who are wanting to get up to speed with computer technology.It’s on Tuesday mornings–they don’t need to make an appointment(Q7)or anything,they just turn up.

PAUL:Well,my mother might be interested,I’ll let her know.

SUSIE:OK.And there’s another service which you wouldn’t expect from a library,which is a free medical check-up.The hospital arranges for someone to come along and measure the level of sugar(Q8)in your blood,and they check cholesterol levels at the same time.

PAUL:Really?

SUSIE:Yes,but that’s only for the over-60s,so you wouldn’t qualify.

PAUL:OK,Well,I’ll tell my mother,she might be interested.

SUSIE:What other information…Well,we do have a little shop with things like wall charts and greetings cards,and also stamps(Q9),so you can post the cards straightaway,which is really useful.

PAUL:Yeah.Well,I’ll bring the children round at the weekend and we’ll join.Oh,one more thing–I’ll be bringing the car,is there parking(Q10)available?

SUSIE:Yes.and it’s free in the evening and at weekends.

PAUL:Perfect.Well,thanks,Susie,see you soon.
