Reading:【学校通知】艺术课班型缩小。雕塑课要减员了，由原来的30个减少到15个。一是学生太多，每个人和教授的交流少;二是费用太大，学校买不起那么多的雕塑材料。
　　Listening：【学生议论】女生不同意。原因有二：
　　1)这门课对学艺术的同学来说太重要了。与老师交流少总比不能上好。
　　2)这门课很重要，所以很多学生愿意自己出钱买材料。所以经费也不是问题。
　　Sample answer:
　　The listening material is an announcement from the university newspaper saying that the university is planning to reduce the art class size. The number of the students who take the sculpture class will be reduced from thirty to fifteen hecause there is less communication between too many students and the professor and the university can t afford the expense of sculpture materials.
　　In the listening material, we clearly learn that the woman doesn' t like this policy. One reason she gives is that the sculpture class is very important for the students who major in art. After all, less communication is better than none. Another reason is based on the fact that many students will buy the studying material themselves, so the expense is also not a problem.
　　Therefore, she disagree with that idea.
