听力原文：W: Hi, Frank. What are you up to？ Is that really a French grammar book？
M: Well, I'm trying to teach myself some French. When I go to Montreal next semester, I don't want to sound like just another tourist. Most of the people there are bilingual.
W: Leave Boston to go to Montreal？ I didn't know this university had a program in Canada.
M: It doesn't. I'm planning to take a short leave of absence from school, so I can go there on my own.
W: What's the reason for this sudden interest in Canada？ M: Well, actually I've been thinking about going for some time now. I know someone there who's been wanting me to visit.
W: A relative？
M: An old friend of my uncle's runs a chemical engineering department there. So, I'm hoping he can help me enroll in some interesting courses.
W: If you want those credits transferred back here later on, you'd better arrange for it before you leave. Don't forget what happened to Susan after she came back from Rome.
M: Yeah, but her situation was different. I already have all the credits I need to graduate.
W: So you'll be taking courses just for the sake of learning.
M: That will be a nice change of pace, won't it？

听力原文：W: May I help you？
M: Yes, [22] my wife and I want to take a vacation this winter to some place warmer.
W: I understand. How much time do you have？
M: Only a week between Christmas and the New Year. That is the problem, you see.
W: Oh, no problem at all. I can get you on a flight to sunny Spain and Portugal leaving on Christmas and coming back New Year's Eve. And it will only cost you $500 a round trip.
M: Only $500？ [23] We were thinking of something less. $1,000 is a lot to spend for such a short time. [23] If we had a month maybe, not just a week.
W: [24] Do you know about the Florida Fun tour the airline offers？ Everything is reserved for you. Your flight, a reserved hotel room, meals, and they even get you to and from the airport in Miami.
M: Actually we don't go in much for arranged tours. We like to do all that for ourselves.
W: Well, in that case, maybe we could just arrange your flight and the rest to you.
M: What else do you have to offer？ Florida is not exactly our idea of a great vacation. What about some place a little different where few tourists go？
W: Oh, some place like Arizona, right？ [25] Or maybe New Mexico？ Sunny, but quiet, relaxing.
M: Yeah, that sounds better—New Mexico. I'll talk to my wife about it and then return.
