【听力原文】

W：Wake up, Erik, time to rise up and shine.

M: Huh，oh, hi, Jane. (4)I must have fallen asleep while I was reading, (Erik在看书的时候睡着了)

W: You and everyone else. It looks more like a camp-ground than a library.

M: Well, the dorm is too noisy to study in and I guess this place is too quiet.

W: Have you had any luck finding a topic for your paper?

M: No, (5-1）Prof. Bryant told us to write about anything in cultural anthropology.(选题可以是关于文化人类学的任何一个方面。）For once I wish he hadn't given us so much of choice.

W：Well, why not write about the ancient civilization of Mexico. You seem to be interested in that part of the world.

M: I am, but there is too much material to cover. I，ll be writing forever, and (5-2)Prof. Bryant only wants to seven pages.(教授要求论文页数在5-7页之间。)

W: So then limit it to one region of Mexico.(建议内容只限定在墨西哥的一个地区。）You've been there and you said it's got lots of interesting relics.

M: That sounds great. (7)1 brought plenty of books and things back with me last summer, which would be great resource material. Now if I could only remember where I put them.(去年从墨西哥买回来的书和物品可以作为论文的材料，当务之急是找到这些材料。)
