        上星期，白雪在网上看到了一套漂亮的公寓，有一房一厅，还有一个厨房、洗手间和一个大阳台。价格也不贵，她能接受。

        从照片上看，卧室和客厅看起来又大又干净，客厅有沙发、电视，卧室的床也看起来很舒服。

        阳台的外面可以看到一个小公园，如果住在这里，还可以每天去公园散散步。

       最重要的是，这个公寓离地铁很近，走路5分钟就到了，她只要坐一个地铁站就可以到公司，或者，她可以走路半个小时到公司。

        她高兴极了，约我周末的时候一起去看看这套公寓。

Last week, Báixuě saw a beautiful apartment online, with one room and one living room, a kitchen, a bathroom and a large balcony. The price is not expensive, she can accept it. The bedroom and living room look big and clean in images. The living room has a sofa and TV. The bed in the bedroom also looks very comfy. You can see a small park not far outside the balcony. You can go to the park for a walk every day if living here.
The most important thing is that this apartment is very close to the subway, and it is only 5 minutes' walk away. Only one subway station to the company, or, she can walk half an hour to the company. She was so happy that she asked for my company to visit this apartment in person at the weekend.

It is recommended that you study in the following ways:
Step 1: Gist listening. Listen to get the main idea. (more times if necessary)
Step 2: Read the text to find out words you didn't get, then look up the dictionary. 
Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can without looking at the text.
Step 4: Write down what you hear if you want to practise writing.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
最近在中国年轻人中间刮起了一阵新热潮，那就是去寺庙烧香，求神拜佛。我们一起来听听看是为什么吧？
游客：“马上要毕业了嘛，然后就是希望自己能够顺顺利利的，未来都是一路平坦的。嗯，就是这么一个比较平凡的愿望。”
记者：“上班和上学之间你会选择哪个？我身边的这些年轻人，他们选择的是来上香。今天是周二工作日，北京还下着雨，并且降温了10度。我的右边很多人在排队点香，我的左边很多人正在上香。寺庙游现在是中国平台搜索最火爆的。不但是北京的雍和宫、灵隐寺、九华山，吸引了好多好多的年轻人。很多人真是来寺庙上香比上学还认真。他们为什么沉迷于寺庙呢？那我们就来听听年轻人的答案。”
游客：“就是大家可能最近压力都比较大，然后就是有一些东西，可能觉得自己虽然已经很努力了，但是也希望借助一些神佛的力量。对，就是所以（来寺庙的年轻人）还蛮多的。像平时可能会心里面比较焦躁一些，那来到这块可能还是会感觉比较平静。因为这块所有人都是抱着一个比较虔诚的心来的嘛，所以能感觉到这里的人都是非常虔诚的。
