M: What do you mean?
W: Well, they have to be very careful not to offend people -- especially parents with young kids who might buy a CD that contained violent content or used strong language.
M: How can that be avoided?
W: Well, don't you remember when that woman -- some senator's wife, I think, made a fuss over this issue? It's not really a law, but music companies are now encouraged to put a warning label on albums that describe violence or use strong language.
M: I don't understand. Doesn't that reduce the musician's freedom of speech?
W: Not really. Musicians still have a right to free speech, but the message on the label says, "Buyer, be careful: if you get upset by violence and ugly language, don't buy this album." You agree with that, don't you?
M: I don't know. I still think the whole thing is funny and unreasonable. Musicians should have the right to say what they want to say without having to have a warning label put on their music, I mean, who gets to decide what is considered offensive and what isn't, we don't need a sticker to tell us what to do!

听力原文:Torn: Hi, Mary. Do you like music?
Mary: Yes, very much, especially classical music.
Tom: Yes, I do. You know rock stars play exciting music and they always wear unusual clothes. I often go to their concerts.
Mary: Oh, do you? I don't understand why rock stars are so famous?
Tom: Oh, it's because of their fans that rock stars are famous and earn a lot of money. You know their fans go to their concerts, buy their records and wear the same kind of clothes.
Mary: I see. Did you watch TV last night?
Tom: No, I didn't. I went to a concert last night and got back home very late. What was on?
Mary: Zed Hawks was interviewed on TV last night.
Tom: Really, he is one of my favorite stars. He is world famous and he is also very rich. At least I suppose so. He has given concerts in twelve countries and sold over twenty million records.
Mary: Yes, you are right. He owns three magnificent houses, five cars and a private plane too.
Tom: What did he say on the TV interview?
Mary: He didn't say anything. During the TV interview Anita Lyons suggested that Zed should behave better because his fans imitate him.
Tom: Yes, go on.
Mary: He reacted very angrily, and walked out. The interview lasted less than two minutes. I was disappointed when I heard this. He really behaved badly. You know like politicians and film stars, rock stars need the public. They earn their money from the public. So why shouldn't the public criticize them? I'm not saying that famous people should always behave well. What I'm saying is that they shouldn't complain when they are criticized. If they do, they will lose their fans. I'm not a fan of Zed Hawks any more.
How do fans imitate rock stars?
A.They play music.
B.They behave badly.
C.They wear the same kind of clothes.
D.They go to their concerts.

W: How was your final?
M: Absolutely no idea. Anyway, it's just wonderful to have finished the exam.
W: Yeah, to sleep in every morning.
M: Well, I've got a lot to do before I leave for Chicago. I've got a lot of things I can't take back with me and I don't know what to do with them. I am wondering if I can sell them to someone before going back to Chicago. Perhaps you could give me some advice.
W: Well, it depends on what sort of things they are.
M: There are quite a lot. I have a computer which is second-hand and not worth much. (19)What I really want to get rid of is the furniture, the fridge and other kitchen stuff. Oh, there are some clothes and books as well.
W: I see. Well, there are several alternatives. (20)First of all, you could put up notices around the university about the books--you know on the notice boards in the student union building, and anywhere the second and third year students will see them. People are always keen to buy cheap textbooks.
M: Then what should I say on the notices?
W: Just put the titles, authors and prices you want. Don't forget to put your phone number.
M: That's a good idea. What about the furniture?
W: You could try the same thing, but usually Students are away all summer so they don't want to buy furniture now. Another place to try might be a secondhand shop. Someone from the shop will usually come around and give you a free quote, and then you can decide. (21)But normally you won't get much money for that sort of stuff.

W: I bought it. So,what do you think of my new entertainment center?And the Widescreen TV…
M: Bought it?
W: …and my new DVD player. Here,let me show you my stereo. You can really rock the house with this one.
M: But where did you get the dough to buy all these?You didn't borrow money from morn and dad again,did you?
W: of course not. I got it with this!
M: This?Let me see that…Have you been using dad's credit card again?
W: No,silly. It's mine. It's a student credit card.
M: A student credit card?How in the world did you get one of these?
W: I got an application in the mail.
M: Well,why did you get one in the first place?
W: Listen. Times are changing,and having a credit card helps you build a credit rating,control spending,and even buy things that you can't pay with cash…like the plane ticket I got recently.
M: What plane ticket?
W: Oh yeah,my roommate and I are going to Hawaii over the school break,and of course,I need some new clothes for that so……
M: I don't want to hear it. How does a student credit card control spending?It sounds you've spent yourself in a hole. Anyway,student credit cards just 1ead to impulse spending…as I can see here. And the interest rates of student credit cards are usually sky-high,and if you miss a payment,the rates,well,just jump!
W: Ah. The credit card has a credit limit…
M: …of $20,000?
W: No,not quite that high. Anyway,…
M: I've heard enough.
W: Did I tell you we now get digital cable with over 100 channels?Oh,and here's your birthday present. A new MP3 player…
M: Yeah. Oh,don't tell me. Charged on the credit card. Listen. Hey,I don't think having a student credit card is a bad idea,but this is ridiculous. And how in the world are you going to pay off your credit card bill?
W: Um,with my birthday money?It's coming up in a week.
M: Hey,let's sit down and talk about how you're going to pay things back,and maybe we can come up with a budget that will help you get out of this mess. That's the least I can do.
