第1题
When I talk about money this way to a group, there is always someone who comes up to me and says, " Suze, you are so wrong. Money isn't the key to life—this is!" At which point their wallet flies open and they show me a photo of their family.
That's when things get interesting, because I start asking them questions: Did you take that photo with your own camera？ It looks like a beautiful beach, was the photo taken on a family vacation？ Do you hope to help those beautiful boys and girls go to college？
As their answers are "yes" , I ask them how they provide all of that for their family. That's when they understand that I had it right.
I totally agree that family and friends are of great importance to our well being; without meaningful relationships, there's no chance of ever being truly happy. That's why, every Saturday night, I end my CNBC show with the following words:" People first. Then money. Then things. "
How we deal with the money we have also plays into our happiness. Over the past few decades (十年), the percentage of Americans who say they're happy hasn't changed much, while at the same time the average income has doubled. So we have more money, but we're not much happier on average.
A paradox(悖论) ？ Far from it. My sense is that while we're making more money, we aren't making more of the money we make. We have to pay for a lot of things, and we have to worry a-bout saving for retirement (退休) in a way that our parents and grandparents never did. And as man-y of you know, it's really hard to increase your happiness when you've got a lot of money worries.
Do you agree, or am I way off base？ I'd love to know what do you think about the money/ happiness connection.
Why do people often show the author their family photos？
A．They hope to show money is very important.
B．They want to prove they can afford a holiday.
C．They think a good family makes them truly happy.
D．They believe a happy person considers people first.

B
Most of you would probably say that what makes you truly happy is your family and the love you share in your relationships， and I couldn't agree more. But money comes into play in those relationships.

听力原文：M: Hi, Molly! What are you doing here？
W: Hi, Jack. The usual thing, shopping. How about you？
M:. No shopping for me, I'm just looking. It's a long time until pay day and I have nothing left from my last salary.
W: Well, window shopping is OK, I guess. You know, you should really start to think more seriously about your money.
M: I know, I know. I try to save it, but I always spend it.
W: We should design a special spending plan for you. Every month you can spend some and save some. Then we can control when and how much you spend.
M: That sounds like a great idea, but I've already tried these types of plans. I can never stick to them.
W: Come on! You've got to try again. Can you believe that I used to be just like you？ I spent everything I earned, I never saved anything! But now I have some monthly rules that I always stick to. For example, when I get paid I always take 30% of my salary and put it into another bank account, my savings account, so I will have no chance to spend it.
M: I never thought of that. I only have one account, I keep all of my money there, so it's always available for me to spend.
W: Exactly, that's the first thing we will change. Go to your bank when you get paid and open another account, it's really easy. Let's say that next month will be a new beginning for you, no more crazy spending, OK？
M: Yes, you are right. I always but countless items that I don't need and will never use. Maybe if the money isn't available I wont be tempted to spend it. Thanks Molly! That was some great advice.

A．he's window shopping.

M: Anything for you, my darling.
W: Ahhhh! You are so sweet. Thank you for going to all this trouble. Is it a special occasion？ I didn't forget something important, did I？
M: No, no. Nothing like that. I have something important to tell you.., my boss gave me a big promotion today.
W: That's great! I knew it would happen. I'm glad he finally noticed all of the hard work you have been doing.
M: Well, that's not the main thing. I have something to ask you.., erm...
W: Yes, Scott？ What is it？
M: Well, when I found out about the promotion I felt so happy. It made me think about when we first met, you know, that day in the park when it was raining？ Well, I was thinking that now I will be earning extra money, well, we can afford more things...
W: Yes, what are you trying to say？ What do you want to ask me？
M: OK, OK. I'm going to just say it! I love you, I have always loved you, I will love you forever. Will you marry me？
W. Oh, Scott! I love you too! Yes! Yes! Of course I will marry you!

One of our main argument is that we in Western countries actually 【M1】______
have a part to play in causing the problems of the Third World. Many Third
World countries are saddle by immense debt burdens, for example. They 【M2】______
lent money at low interest rates in the 1970s, when money flooded into 【M3】______
Western banks from the oil-producing countries and was lent out to the
Third World. The interest rates have then been risen dramatically. So you 【M4】______
have a situation where a country in many cases can' t even repay the interest
, let alone the capital, on the debt. And I suppose the best example
from that I' ye come across is a country, in West Africa where the consumption 【M5】______
, the local consumption of peanuts was banned, because peanuts, if
they' re imported can bring in a great deal of foreign income. The peanut 【M6】______
is a major source of protein in this country. So you had people go hungry as 【M7】______
a result of that. The peanuts were exported to Great Britain and the United
States to feed our cattle. Those cattle then produced a surplus of milk
which we don't know what to do with. We have enough milk, more milk
than we can cope with, in the West World. And also that milk was trans- 【M8】______
formed into dried milk powder and then taken back to this country to help
feed children who were suffering from malnutrition. So that's the kind of insanely 【M9】______

听力原文：W: Long time no see! What have you been up to lately？
M: No good, I can assure you. And you？
W: Much the same, except I do have some big news.
M: Come on, the suspense is killing me.
W: No, really. What have you been doing these past few weeks？ The last time when I saw you you were looking for a new job.
M: Well, that's not exactly true. I was thinking about changing jobs. Luckily, that was an taken care of when they offered me a new position in the accounts department.
W: A step up in the big business world!
M: I'm pleased. I had been hoping to get a promotion for a while, so when it finally came through I was relieved.
W: I hope the money's better.
M: I got a reasonable raise. Now, enough about me. I’m dying to hear your news.
W: Hold on now... I'm getting married!
M: NO! You said you'd never get married. I can't believe it.
W: That was then and this is now. You've got to meet Ken, he's heaven.
M: So come on. This is all news to me. I didn't even know you were dating.
W: We weren't. We've just been doting for two weeks now.
M: ... and. you're getting married!
W: I know, I know. I can't help it. I'm just completely in love with Ken.
M: Well, congratulations, my friend! That is fantastic!

听力原文：W: It's fantastic to meet you here, John. I'm also your fan.
M: Thank you.
W: Before we start the interview, could you please sign my favourite CD for me？
M: My pleasure.
W: Tons of thanks. All these years, there must have been a lot of music companies asking you to join them.
M: Yes, you are right.
W: Then why did you choose Rock？
M: It was mainly because of their sincerity. They agreed that I do not need to do too many promotions, and they also give me freedom. Besides, I do mind whether the media only concentrate on how much money I earn when I sign a contract.
W: But isn't money important to you？
M: I think money for me is not the most important issue. Rock is a Taiwan-based company, but they make me, a Hong kong singer, feel .that I am yew important to them. They really touch me.
W: Also, you can see that they have put in effort into making singers' albums.
M: Yeah, the quality is quite high. If I were a consumer, I would buy a high-quality product.
W: Your point is well taken. However, not many fans in Hongkong know how to distinguish between good and bad music. Maybe your target market is not them.
M: I don't really care about the Hongkong market. I know it is very irresponsible to say this, but it is true. My next album is going to be a Mandarin one.
W: A Mandarin one？
M: Yeah. I was also very surprised when Rock approached me and asked me to concentrate on Mandarin albums. Previously, my songs were all in Cantonese. If you were the head of the company, would you ask me to produce Cantonese albums rather than Mandarin ones？
W: Of course, and the songs will be very commercialized, too.
M: It proves that Rock doesn't treat me as a money-making artist.

A．Rock allowed him much freedom.
B．Rock didn't treat him as a money machine.
C．Rock cooperated with him with great sincerity.
D．Rock didn't ask him to do much for promotions.
第10题
Man: Closing it down would be a disaster. You know, when there was a situation like this in the European division, they turned it around with a special promotion which worked very well. Do you remember this time last year, when we thought we'd have to sell some of the French centres？ Well, now they're doing well and we didn't even have to spend any extra money on them, either.
Woman: Yes, that's true. But Nottingham has lost nearly a million in the six months and we can't afford to keep absorbing that kind of loss. I really think we should close it down as soon as possible and liquidise our assets. It's on a prime site, which would be worth a lot to developers. I don't even think it's worth trying to sell it as a going concern to one of our competitors.
Man: Isn't that rather short-sighted？ The same thing's happening everywhere. It's always the service industries which are hit first when people are worried about job security. And before you say that the centres are looking outdated and that consumer tastes and fashions have changed, I've done my homework and the consumer surveys show that people would still come if they had the money.
Woman: That's not the only reason, James. And the bottom line is, the Board are pushing me to improve figures now. We're falling behind the competition, and if we keep Nottingham open, we'll need a major change in our image. A good advertising campaign might bring in more customers while we're running it, but at best it'd just be a short-term solution.
Man: I don't agree with you, Sophie. However, I've got another idea. Why don't we run the centre with minimum staff, no more expensive recruiting, and think about closing during the quiet times of day until the situation improves？ We could go on with the special offers we're running, because they bring in a few new customers, and don't cost us anything.
Woman: It's a thought, but I'm not sure the Board will go for it. They're really keen to sell the Nottingham centre. That way they could cover their deficit and make the shareholders happy at the same time. It's an attractive solution.
Man: Even if they decide to sell, they're not likely to get very much for it, are they？ Not at the moment. Property values are at an all time low. Can't we at least try to keep the Nottingham centre operational？
Woman: Well, it's not going to be possible to keep it running as it is now, but your idea for making savings might work. Do you think you'd be able to get the centre to break even within say six months？ But remember, there's no extra money for major promotions.
Man: I'd like to have the chance to try, Sophie. I think I can do it, with minimal promotions. Yes.
Woman: Then let me have a written proposal in time for next week's Board meeting, will you？
•You will hear Sophie Garland, the General Manager of Daylong Leisure Centres, and James Pinot, the Operations Manager, discussing problems at the Nottingham centre.
•For each question (23-30), mark one letter (A, B or C) for the correct answer.
•After you have listened once, replay the recording.
What does Sophie say about the Nottingham centre's problems;？
A．She doesn't know what has caused them.
B．She hadn't expected Nottingham to have problems.
C．She doesn't think they will continue for long.
