听力原文:WB How's your business doing?
MB Well, sales are definitely lower than expected. I think that's because the housing market has been slowing down recently. In the appliance world, even small changes in the housing market tend to affect us a lot.
WB Hmm... I guess I never made the connection between the home appliance industry and the housing market before. But it makes sense.

B.Sales are not as high as he had been expecting.
C.It has been affected by recent political events.
