听力原文： When a person needs information on almost any topic, where does he or she look for it？ The most likely place is an encyclopedia. Today an encyclopedia is a set of books with articles and pictures. Encyclopedias may soon be available in full color and sound. Instead of going to the bookshelf for an answer to a question, a person may switch on the television set and key into a computer network. The information will then be instantly printed across the screen with music and sound effects, if appropriate. If the researcher is looking for information about baroque music, he or she will not only read information about the music, but will also hear an example of the music at the same time. Information about the canary bird will include the sound of its song. Sound is not the only advantage of storing encyclopedia information on computer tape. Information can be immediately updated. As events occur and information changes, the "computer encyclopedia" can add and change information.

"Our concept of the encyclopedia will change," said Kenneth Kister, author of the Encyclopedia Buying Guide."Encyclopedias will be released from the imprisonment of the printed word."

year？

W: Not yet. Are there a lot of changes？

M: There sure are. Instead of paying one fee to cover all meals for the whole school year, we'll now be able to choose how many meals per week we want and can contract for just that amount. We still have to pay for the whole year at the beginning of the year but we can choose to buy seven, ten, fourteen or twenty-one meals per week.

W: That's a big change, Tom.

M: Yeah. It will be much better for people who don't eat three meals a day, seven days a week in the cafeteria because they won't have to pay for meals they don't eat.

W: So what's the meal for those who do eat at school all the time？

M: It's better for them, too, because the more meals you contract for, the cheaper each one is.

W: I see. It still sounds rather complicated.

M: True, it took me several hours to figure it out:

W: What's your meal plan？

M: I decided to go with the ten-meal plan. I never eat breakfast and I often go away on weekends. So I won't pay for meals I don't usually eat.

W: But what about the weekends when you are on campus？

M: Well, there are often guests on campus on weekends. They are allowed to buy single meals on Saturdays and Sundays. The price for meal is much higher that way. But it will still be leas money for me to pay than sign up for the fourteen-meal-a-week plan.

W: Hmm, I guess I'll have to sit down and figure out my eating patterns.

B．Students choose how many meals a week they will pay for.

C．Students get money back for meals they don't eat.

Successful Language Learners

1 Some people seem to have a knack for learning languages. They can pick up new vocabulary， master rules or grammar， and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others， so what makes language learning so much easier for them？ Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners， we may discover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them.

2 First of all， successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain， they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves.. They are good guessers who look for clues and form. their own conclusions. When they guess wrong， they guess again.

They try to learn from mistakes.

3 Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore， successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult， they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important fo"r them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.

4 Finally， successful language，learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. They find it easy to practice using the language regularity because they want to learn with it.

5 What kind of language learner are you？ If you are a successful language learner， you have probably been learning independently， actively， and purposefully. On the other hand， if your language learning has been less than successful， you might as well try some of the techniques outlined above.
