It's interesting to see what people used to enjoy reading. Did you see this old book of children's stories? M：Some of these books aren't so old. This novel was published only six years ago. It cost only 75 cents. W：Hey! Look at this! M：What? Ate you getting interested in 19th-century plays all of a sudden?
W：No. Look at the signature. Someone gave this book as a present, and wrote a note on the inside of the front cover. It's dated 1856. Maybe it's worth something. M：Everything on that shelf is Worth 50 cents. W：But if this is the signature of someone who is well-known, it might bring a lot more. I hear William. Shakespeare's signature is worth about a million dollars. M：Oh? I can hardly read what it says. Who wrote it? W：The name looks like Harold Dickinson. He might have been a politician or something. I'm going to buy this book and see if I can find a name like this in the library. M：Good luck. Your book of plays may make you rich, but I bet my 75 cents novel is a better buy. 听第7段材料，回答第9至10题。 M：Have you heard the news that Mrs. Smith, our former English teacher, will soon retire?

I'm so worried about my English writing ability. Could you give me some advice on how to improve my writing? M：Well, don't worry about it. As we all know, writing is a bit difficult. W：Yes. I often find myself at a loss for what to write and how to write. M：I see. Writing is a kind of productive skill. I mean it's a way to express oneself. W：But, one thing is－I'm often short of words or expressions, and I find it difficult to get started. M：In this way, you'd better do some more reading first, because writing is closely related to reading. It relies on your vocabulary and your understanding. W：Yes, then, could you give me some advice, so that I can improve my writing rapidly? M：You know, there is no shortcut to success. If you want to improve your writing, you should read more and write more, because practice makes perfect. If you can't get started easily, try to make a list of key points before you begin. W：That's a good idea. May I show you my list of key points before class tomorrow? M：Sure. 听第9段材料，回答第14至16题。 W： Hello, Jim. Where are you going? M：To the cinema. What about going with me?

W：Oh, I see. By the way, where are you going for your holidays this year? M：I don't know yet. My wife's going to her mother's for a couple of weeks. She lives by the sea, you know. W：Oh, does she? That's convenient. M：Yes, but I want to go to the country. W：Don't you like the sea? M：Yes, very much. But I need peace and quiet when I'm on holiday. What are you going to do? W：I’m going to stay at home. M：Aren't you going to have a holiday abroad this year? W：No, I want to buy a car, and that's going to take every penny I've got. 听第9段材料，回答第17至20题。 It’s 12 o’clock, time for Australian Educational News in brief.
