听力原文:W: Good morning. Have a seat. M: Good morning. Thank you. W: I have your application here somewhere. Yes, here it is. Your name is Jim Martin, right? M: That's right, madam. W: And you hope to enter our university next fall? M: Yes, if I can make it. W: Fine, Jim. I notice that you finished high school a year ago. Why didn't you enter college that year? M: Well, I have a sister in college now. And there is another one who'll be going next year. So I had to earn a little money to help pay my way. W: Good. It sounds as if you're a pretty responsible fellow. I see that you attended two grade schools. M: Yes. My first six years I went to a public school in my hometown. Then I went to a military school for two years. W: And came back to your hometown for high school. M: That's right. W: I see. I don't find a transcript. among your papers. Do you have one? M: I'm not sure what that is. W: Oh, that's a list of your grades. M: Oh, yes. That's in the mail now. W: All right. How were your grades? M: Well. Pretty good, until my second year in high school. Then I guess I got a little interested in sports. But I know I'll work hard in college. W: What do you want to major in? M: Biology. That was my best subject in high school. W: That sounds fine. Have you discussed this with your teachers and your parents? M: Oh, sure. My science teacher thinks that's just what I ought to go into. And my parents say I should make my own decision. W: Fine. I'll hold your application until we get the transcript. When we've seen it we'll let you know. Probably in about two weeks. M: Thank you very much. W: By the way, what did your guidance counselor tell you? M: He told me I had a real knack for scientific things. I know I do, too. I've been fascinated with science since I was a child. W: An interest of that kind really signifies something. Well, good luck. M: Thank you, madam. Good-bye. (23)
