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？

A．Planning a sightseeing tour.

B．Writing to his uncle.

rom Mike’s life in London now. We went to school together on our bicycles. Every morning I went to his house and knocked on the door. Every morning Mike’s mum said, “I’m sorry, he’s a bit late this morning”, and so I had to wait. Each day we were late for school, and I remember the teacher got very annoyed with us. I never told her we were late because of Mike. Now, 25 years later, I play tennis with Mike. I usually drive him to the tennis club. I go to his flat and he opens the door and says, “I’m sorry. I’m a bit late today.” The only reason he wasn’t late for his own wedding is that we lied to him about the time! As boys we spent a lot of time out exploring on our bikes. We went walking and fishing. I didn’t like fishing because I couldn’t swim. Probably the funniest thing we did was when we stole a bottle of whiskey from my Dad. We cycled about 5 miles away to drink it in one of our favorite places. When we finished drinking it, we couldn’t cycle back – it was a long, slow walk. I’m sure we looked awful. We still do, when we come back from the pub on Friday nights. Nothing’s changed really. Oh, and I still can’t swim.
