Let’ s（) out for a walk, shall we？

听力原文：W: Let's go into the penguin house.

M: Great! I read that they've added a couple of emperor penguins from Antarctica.

W: I was hoping to stay in the warmer section. You know, they have some penguins here from the Galapagos Islands-and that's practically on the equator.

M: But the emperor penguin's huge! It's a lot bigger than the Galapagos penguin—in fact, it's bigger than all the other penguins—almost four feet high.

W: Imagine a bird that size flying through the air...

M: Penguins don't actually fly.

W: I know that. They just sort of... waddle.

M: They swim, too. Even though they're feathered, their wings are more like flippers-they work like paddles in the water.

W: I thought they were land animals.

M: They lay their eggs on land. They make their nests in these enormous colonies called rookeries. See, the emperor penguin has this interesting nesting habit. The female bird leaves the ocean at the beginning of autumn. She lays an egg on the ice and then immediately returns to the water.

W: What happens to the egg？

M: The male rolls it onto his feet and then covers it with the lower part of his belly.

W: Then what？

M: For two whole months. During the worst part of the winter, he huddles together with other male penguins to keep the eggs warm.

W: So the female brings him food？

M: No. See, the penguin can fast for up to four months. The female comes back after the chick hatches. When she does, the male goes out to sea to get food for himself and the chick.

W: Look, I’m terribly sorry to drop in this time on Friday, Paul, butit is rather important.

M: That’s OK. What’s the problem？

W: Well, Paul, I won’t keep you long. You see there is a problem withthe exchange rates. The Indian Rupee has taken a fall on the foreign exchangemarket. You see there is being a sharp increase in Indian’s balance of paymentdeficit.

M: I see. How serious, isn’t it？

W: Well, as you know, there have been reports of unrest India, and theprospects for the Rupee look pretty gloomy.

M: And that’s going to affect us, as if we didn’t have enough problemson our hands.

W: So I thought it would be wise to take out forward exchange cover toprotect our position on the outstanding contract.

M: Just a minute. Forward exchange cover, now what does that meanexactly？

W: Well, it means that JO notes enters into a commitment to sell IndianRupees at the present rate.

M: I see. And how will that benefit us？

W: Well, JO notes wouldn’t lose out if Indian Rupee falls further.

M: What will it cost, Jane？

W: A small percentage, about 1% and that can be built into the price ofthe bike.

M: Well, I don’t suppose there is much choice. All right Jane, let’sput it into action.

M: Hi, Sally, this is Phil.

W: Great to hear from you Phil! How have you been doing？

M: To tell you the truth, I'm very worried about our final examinations next month. For one thing, I can't sleep.

W: I sympathize! I went through the same thing last year.

M: That's exactly why I'm calling you. Do you have any suggestions for coping with anxiety？ You know how I hate exams!

W: Well, last year the university offered a stress-management course at about this time. Have you been in contact with the student health services？

M: No, I haven't had time!

W: Funny, isn't it？ Just when students need help most, we can't afford the time to get it!

M: Well, perhaps I should find out more about this stress-management course. Things have got to get better!

W: I suggest you call the health services tomorrow. They open at nine a. m.

M: Thanks, ally. I'll let you know how it goes.

W: Best of luck! And have a good night's sleep!

M: That's easier said than done!

W: Hmm, and how long does it take to deliver？

M: Oh, I couldn't really say. It depends on how much work we've got and how many other orders there are to send out, you know.
