    Now Read the article from the university newspaper about an announcement to start a car rental program on campus. You will have 45 seconds to read the announcement. Begin reading now.
                                            Car Rental Program on Campus
    The university recently announced that it has made an arrangement with a local car rental company to offer rental cars to students at a discounted rate. Students can rent the cars, which will be available on campus, for short-term use to drive to places off campus. According to the dean of students, the rental cars are expected to make it easier for students to travel to town to do errands and go shopping. Also, she said that many students cannot afford to own their own car, so this new program will give them access to cars without the expense of owning one.
    Now listen to two students discussing the article.
    The woman expresses her opinion about the plan described in the article. Briefly summarize the plan, then state her opinion about the plan and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.
Now listen to two students discussing the article.
W: Wow! I’m really happy about this new program they’re starting.
M: Yeah! I saw that. It’s cool!
W: Yeah, you know how far our campus is from town? There’re buses, but they only run like every two hours, which is kind of inconvenient.
M: Yeah, I agree. It ends up using a big part of your day if you have to rely on the buses.
W: Right! It can take hours just to visit one store and if you have a lot of places to visit, it can take even longer! Driving would make it so much easier.
M: Make sense.
W: And her other point is totally true. I actually looked into buying a car a while back, but I didn’t do it because when I did the math I realized I couldn’t manage it as a student. I mean, it’s not just the car itself, but also, you have to keep getting gas and buy permits to park on campus.
M: Right, plus any car problems?
W: Exactly. There’re repairs and maintenance to think of. All that can really add up, so this would be an easier solution for a lot of students.
选项
答案     The university announced a plan to offer rental cars to students at a discounted rate. The renting service, for one thing, is meant to provide students with a convenient way to travel to town and run their errands. For another, to help students access a car even if they cannot afford one. The woman is thrilled about this new plan. Since the buses are only available every two hours, car renting can save a lot of commute time between campus and town. Besides, the price of a new car is too steep for a student, and a car owner also needs to pay for gas, parking permits, repairs and maintenance. In comparison, renting a car will be more affordable.
