听力原文:M: Hi, Janet. How"s your oral presentation coming along?
W: What oral presentation are you talking about? I can"t give mine until next week.
M: You haven"t started working on it yet, have you?
W: No, I have so many other things to do. I need to finish summarizing 30 articles for Dr. Thompson. See, I"ve been working for him as a research assistant. I know what the pressure of a deadline feels like.
M: I have more time than you do. But I can"t concentrate unless I know I have plenty of time. I wanted to get my presentation out of the way because I have a big biology test next week.
W: What"s your presentation on?
M: Sinclair Lewis.
W: Isn"t he a writer? I thought we were supposed to focus only on poets.
M: No, yon can work on novelists too.
W: Are you positive? I didn"t know that.
M: Anyway, I like most of Lewis" novels but especially Main Street which he wrote in 1920. It"s a satirical portrait of a conservative small town in the Midwest.
W: Are you going to give yours on Wednesday?
M: Yes, I am. You wouldn"t mind listening to my talk and giving me some feedback, would you? Also, I"d appreciate it if you would time my speech.
W: No problem. Where shall we get together?
M: That sounds good.I"ll see you at the hall. It"ll be quieter than our dormitory.
