Reading Part:
Music Coming to Cafeterias
Mary Dixon, Director of the Student Life Committee, announced yesterday that beginning next semester, university cafeterias will broadcast classical music during mealtimes. "Music will foster a more relaxed atmosphere", said Dixon. “Students’ lives are hectic, and mealtimes provide important opportunities to take a break and catch up with friends before moving on to the next class or assignment.” Added Dixon, “We’re hoping that, if we provide the music, students will unplug their music devices their walkmans and mp3 players or whatever and will spend more time talking to each other. When students have their headphones on, they’re not connecting with each other.”

Now listen to two students discussing the university’s plan.
(man) Have you read this article? Are they serious?
(woman) Yeah, I think so. Why?
(man) Well, first of all, a lot of kids aren’t looking for relaxing breaks at lunch time. They like to stud y while they, especially while they have exams coming up or some assignments they have to get done.
(woman) Yeah, that’s true.
(man) And now they won’t be able to concentrate. This is gonna be very distracting.
(woman) Hmmm. Ok, yeah, I see your point.
(man) And second, most students don’t like classical music.
(woman) It’s certainly not what I listen to.
(man) So, are people going to stop listening to their own music?
(woman) No!
(man) I think people are going to be even more likely to bring their mp3 player, you know, to play their own music and block out the classical stuff.
(woman) Yeah, that makes sense.

范文一：
The school is planning to play classical music during lunch hour in the student cafeteria to give students a chance to relax and encourage more face to face conversations between students. In the conversation, the man disagrees with the school’s plan for the following reasons. First of all, students aren’t looking for a relaxing time during the break, they are either busy preparing for upcoming exams or working on assignments. Second, most students don’t even like classical music. If the school played this kind of music, that will encourage even more students to bring their MP3 players to school, therefore even fewer students will be talking to each other.
范文二：
The university’s planning to broadcast classical music during mealtimes in cafeterias in order that students can relax and communicate more with each other. The man in the conversation thinks it’s a bad plan. First of all, he says that most of the students aren’t looking for relaxing in lunch time. They’d rather study there especially when they have exams coming up or when they have many assignments undone. The music will be distracting so the student’s won’t be able to concentrate. Secondly, most students don’t like classical music. If the cafeterias play classical music, students will be more likely to put on their personal music devices to block out the classical stuff.
