听力原文:M: Excuse me. Have you been waiting long? W: About ten minutes. M: Did you notice whether the number seven bus has gone by? W: Not while I've been standing here. I'm waiting for the number seven myself. M: Good. Hot today, isn't it? W: Yes, it is. I wish that it would rain .and cool off. M: Me too. This is unusual for March. I don't remember it ever being so hot and dry in March before. W: You're from Florida then. M: Not really. I was born in New York, but I've lived here for ten years now. W: My mother and I have just moved here from Indiana. M: Pretty cold in Indiana, isn't it? W: Yes. That's why we moved. But we didn't know that it would be so hot here. We should have gone to California. Do you think that we've missed the bus? M: No. It's always a little late. W: It's twenty to one, but my watch is a little fast. M: Don't worry. It never comes exactly on the haft-hour like it should. (23)
