Part 3 练就超级听力耳，千丝万缕中听出关键信息
Unit 3 攻克情景对话
完全掌握了英语听力中常见的长句、难句后，并不意味着听力就有了本质的提高。听力的提高源于大量的实践，必须把已经掌握到的听音基础运用到实际生活中，这样你的听力实践经验才能得到提高，听力水平也才能进步。
情景对话模拟了实际生活中的英语会话，是各种听力考试中的经典题型，也是我们的听音能力在实践中的“牛刀小试”。情景对话的特点是话题范围较小，往往“就事论事”地谈论一个大家都熟悉的话题，如就餐、购物等。在听完对话双方的谈话后，根据说话人“字里行间”的“蛛丝马迹”做出推理和判断并回答问题。很显然，这种题目有助于考察听力水平，也是最佳的听力训练材料。
情景对话题目的解题技巧是：首先仔细阅读题干和答案，然后在听音时尽量注意抓住大意（适当的时候也可以做简单的笔记，记下重要的信息），然后做出判断并回答问题。
本书精选了各种听力考试中经常出现的20个话题的情景对话和相关练习，它们是真正的精华，值得你付出最大的努力，现在就用你的热情完成这些练习吧！

Bob: Oh, I see. Well, I was wondering if you' d like to go to a concert tomorrow night. I think it' ll be good, and if I remember correctly, you did say you like country music.

Tips:
1．打电话时，可首先自报家门，如说出你的姓名，或公司的名称，或报你的电话号码，以便对方确认信息。对于数字0，最好说成“zero”，而不是字母“o”，以免引起歧义。如果拨错了号码，说一句“I' m sorry, I have the wrong number.”即可，而回答“That is quite all right.”足矣。
2． 打电话时，注意使用口头语而非书面语。另外，由于打电话时看不到对方的表情手势（视频电话除外），因此，要格外注意措辞的礼貌。例如，我们通常会说“May I speak to ..., please? ”或“Could you put me through to ...”，而非“Is ...there/in? ”（除非特别熟悉）。
