听力原文：W What are you doing sitting in the dark？ Why don't you turn on the light？

M I had it on, but it just turned off a few minutes ago. I figured the electricity had gone out in the building. W No, these lights go off in half an hour if they detect no movement in the room. To turn them back on, all you have to do is wave your arms.

听力原文：W: That comes to $160.

M: One hundred and sixty dollars! I just can't believe how expensive textbooks are. And that's just for required texts. Why, if I have to buy all the books on my suggested reading lists, I'd have to take out a bank loan!

W: You could save some money if you buy used texts, you know.

M: I suppose, but it's hard for me to study from a text that's been marked up. Tell me, if I don't need some of these books, can I get a full refund？

W: Sure, if the professor changes his mind about a book or if you drop a course, just return it and we'll give you your money back—but only for the first three weeks of class. So don't write your name in the text or mark it up until you're sure you're going to keep it all semester.

M: And what about at the end of the semester？ What's your buy-back policy？

W: As long as the books are in reasonably good condition, and they're going to be used in class the next semester, we'll give you 50% of their original value—even if you don't buy them at this store. Of course, if a professor changes texts or if a new edition comes out, we won't buy them back at all.

M: Fifty percent—that's all？

W: Well, I suppose that doesn't sound like much, but that's the store policy.

听力原文：W: We’re having a debate on advertising tomorrow and I have to take part.

M: That’s interesting. I should like to hear what young people think about advertising.

W: Well, we wouldn’t know what there was to buy if we didn’t have advertisements.

M: Yes, that’s true—up to a point. Advertisements provide information that we need. If someone has produced a new article, naturally the seller wants to tell us about it.

W: Yes, and advertisements tell us which product is the best.

M: Do they？ I don’t think so. Every manufacturer says that his product is the best, or at least tries to give that impression. Only one can be the best, so the others are misleading us, aren’t they？

W: Well, I suppose, but we don’t have to believe them, do we？

M: Are you saying that advertisements aren’t effective？ I don’t think that intelligent businessmen would spend millions of dollars on advertising if nobody believed the advertisements, do you？

W: Perhaps not, but after all, it’s their money that they’re spending.

M: Is it？ I think not. The cost of advertising is added to the price of the article. You and me and all the other people who buy the article pay for the advertising!

W: Well, I suppose we get something for our money—some information.

M: Yes, but don’t forget it’s often misleading information, and sometimes harmful.

(23)

A．To take part in a debate.

B．To make an advertisement.

C．To sell a new product.

D．To have a picnic.

听力原文：W Do you ever read the company magazine or newsletter？

M I skim the newsletter on occasion. I mean, it appears in our inboxes every week, so it's pretty easy to give it a quick look. As for the magazine, I confess I almost never read it.

W Why is that？ There's pretty much always a pile of them somewhere. Why do you suppose you rarely check them out？

M I suppose because I tend to think of it as a marketing vehicle. I don't really consider it as something that's written for employees: I think of it as something for the customers to read, not us.

What is learned about the company's newsletter？

A．It is published every week.

B．Extra copies are kept in the office.

C．It is mailed to every employee's home.
