听力原文: When the automobile was first invented, few people thought of buying one. Gradually, as cars were improved, more people wanted to buy them. Men tried to think of new and better ways to manufacture automobiles. Finally, Henry Ford set up a factory with an assembly line to produce automobiles.
Even with his new system of manufacturing the automobile industry remained fairly small. Almost all the assembly work was done in a few large factories near Detroit, Michigan. Then the cars were shipped to wholesalers all over the country. Wholesalers bought the cars from the factory and sold them to auto traders in each city. The traders then sold the cars to the people who wanted to buy them.
During the 1920s, this system began to change. The automobile industry had grown rapidly. Soon it was no longer practical to have assembly plants in Detroit only. New plants were built all over the country. With plants near each trader, the wholesaler' s job was unnecessary. The traders could buy cars directly from the factory.
Many other kinds of industries have moved their factories from the cities to small towns. In place of large factory, these companies now have several smaller plants. Like the automobile industry, they have found that many small factories can be more efficient than fewer large plants.

When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes,and so on) has become one of America's fastest growing businesses.What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples -people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things.
