听力原文:M: Well, Cynthia, our first semester at university is almost over. I can't wait for the holidays.
W: Me, too, Edward! Why don't we go somewhere far away and forget about lectures and essays and all that hard work.
M: Sounds good to me. Now, how long will we have before we have to be back here on campus for the next semester?
W: We've got about six weeks, I think.
M: How about if we go to the coast? It would be great to do some swimming and surfing.
W: The coast would be good, but let's look at our other options. There are the mountains. They're nice and cool at this time of year. And we can do some bush-walking. There's also the desert, which I really enjoyed last year.
M: What about going to Sydney? I've never been there and they say it's a great city to visit. Lots of things to do there, I've heard.
W: I agree Sydney would be good but there are too many tourists there at this time of year. And I'd rather get away from buildings and cars. There are enough of those around here. I vote for mountains.
M: All right, then, let's do that. Now we have to decide where we're going to stay and bow we're going to get there.

The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS, 非典), which has no known cure for 【C1】______ afflicted by it, has brought widespread panic to Singaporeans and has 【C2】______ altered the pattern of their daily life. The famous saying of President F.D. Roosevelt that "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself" aptly described the present 【C3】______ of mind of a large cross-section of Singaporeans and those in the worst-hit areas like Guangdong and Hong Kong. How does this much fearful illness impinge on the collective psyche of Singaporeans and how do they 【C4】______ with it? It is, I believe, fair to say that it has 【C5】______ both the nobler and weaker sides of the Singaporean character. First, the well-deserved praise for the 【C6】______ and caring healthcare givers, both in the public and private sectors. They have 【C7】______ the pressure of it, especially during the early stage, with some of them 【C8】______ it and some are still fighting for their lives. 【C9】______ the much higher risks of contamination, they have continued to put their own safety aside, and that of their families too, and have 【C10】______ to perform. their professional responsibilities to the fullest.

BUSINESS TELECARD INTERNATIONAL
You can use your Business Telecard International at any card phone in the UK. Here is some information about making international phone calls.
You can now phone almost any country in the world, although in some cases you can only call major cities. When you cannot make direct dialling calls, you can ask the international operator to help you. This is more expensive and takes more time, but it may be helpful if you want to speak to a particular person and no one else; in this case you should ask for a “person-to-person” call. Even more expensive is a reverse charge call where the person who receives the call pays.
If the international line is busy, you can reserve a call; explain the number you want and the operator will call you back when the line is free.
You can save money by calling outside office hours, e.g. early in the morning, late at night, and on Sundays. Remember that the time may be different in the country you are calling. International time is based on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time); London is on GMT and Moscow, for example, is 3 hours ahead. There is one problem; change to DST (Daylight Saving Time) for the Summer. In the UK, clocks are put forward one hour in Spring and put back in Autumn, and so London is actually one hour ahead of GMT in the Summer. If you are unsure about the time, the operator-will help you.
You can use your Business Telecard International for domestic calls as well, but there will be an additional charge over the standard rate.
What is the most expensive type of call?
A.Reverse charge call.
B.Through the operator.
C.Direct dial.
