2008年12月英语四级听力模拟题(一)

　　Conversation One
　　M:This food is terrible! I can't even finish my dinner.
　　W: I know. You think with all the money we paid for room and board, the university could have better food service. Where are you headed next?
　　M: I'm going over to the student recreation center to play some bridge.
　　W:You’re spending your time on a card game?
　　M:Not just any card game. It's one of the most strategic games.
　　W:So I’ve heard. Don't you play with a partner?
　　M:Yeah! Four people play, two against the other two.
　　W: So, you try to play in cooperation with your partner?
　　M: Actually, the cards of one of the four plays are turned face up. That player is called the dummy.
　　W: I wouldn't want to be called that. When you are the dummy, what do you do while the cards are being played?
　　M: Anything you want. Sit there and study, shuffle another deck, get snacks for everyone… I like to stand behind my partner and watch.
　　W: You know, I've heard that bridge is habit forming. You should be careful not to play so much that you don't get your studying done.
　　M: Don't worry about me. I only play Thursdays after dinner, and sometimes when they need a fourth player. If you like, I could teach you.
　　W: Thanks, but I have a pretty heavy workload this semester. I already spend my evenings doing things I don't really know how to do yet.
