听力原文：W: Hi, Bill! I just heard about your aunt Kathy's death. I am sorry.
M: Thanks, Nancy. We will really miss her.
W: I know. She was so nice to you.
M: Yes, she was so nice to the whole family. You know, she even left Barbara and me a large sum of money.
W: Oh, really？ What do you plan to do with the money？
M: I have no idea. I never thought of having such a big fortune.
W: You might want to talk to Jeff Hunter, my broker, about investing some of it. As a broker, he can help you. The brokerage firm he works for is one of the best in our country.
M: That's a wonderful idea.
W: Have you ever had experience in investment？
M: Oh, yeah. Actually, I already have a small stock portfolio. Barbara and I own some shares in four large companies.
W: That's great. And I am sure you will get some good advice from Mr. Hunter. And perhaps he can also give you some information on tax policy.
M: Thanks. But why do I need to know the tax policy？
W: You know that you will have to pay estate taxes on the inheritance？
M: I could hardly forget about it.
W: So Mr. Hunter would be able to advise you about your taxable income, and perhaps he can suggest some tax shelters for you.
M: It's very kind of you. But I am still worrying that I do not have enough money to be a speculative investor.
W: Well, my broker can give you the latest information in all areas of the stock market, not just in investment for speculation.
M: That's great then. I hope to talk to him because I am thinking of increasing my dividends from stocks.
W: Maybe he will suggest some currently active stocks for you to invest in. He also handles municipal bonds, the income from which is tax-exempt. Talk to him soon, here's his phone number.
M: Thanks a lot!

W: Thank you.
M: I suppose I should start by asking you how you became interested in dentistry.
W: Well, I suppose it started when I was eight. I smashed my front tooth and the dentist put in a gold one, which I thought was wonderful. I had it until I was 17.
M: And you've been a dentist for ten years or so？
W: Fifteen now.
M: Would you say that dentistry is still a man's world？ I mean, I can't remember ever having a woman dentist in my life.
W: Well, it used to be a totally male profession. It's getting better, but you still find only a few women who own their own practices. Most of them are junior partners or employees in a man's business.
M: In your experience, is it common for people to be frightened of the dentist？
W: Yes, that's common. Some people are even frightened of coming into the room. I have to go through a long process of getting them to come in, walk around, sit down and then leave.
M: You mean you don't actually do any work on their teeth？
W: That's right. Sometimes, if people are scared, the first thing is simply helping them to feel a bit more comfortable with the place. M: Would you say you enjoyed your work？
W: Yes, I think so on the whole. But I'm still not used to some of the horrors I see when people open their mouths, and bad breath is not pleasant to deal with. Another thing that I find difficult is the noise of the drill. But laser treatment is now doing a lot of work we had to use the drill for, so now it's not so much of a problem.
