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.

MB It sure does. When people buy new houses they usually buy new appliances for them. In fact, you can accurately gauge how the housing market is doing just by looking at our sales figures.

What does the man say about his business？

A．It plans to open new stores around the world.

B．Sales are not as high as he had been expecting.

C．It has been affected by recent political events.

D．Sales are expected to increase in the next quarter.

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.

D．The first issue has not been published yet.

听力原文：M: What a lovely sunny day!

W: Yes, Mike. It's lovely. By the way, your red coat really suits you. I'm sure you are very happy today.

M: So you really believe that clothes carry a kind of message for other people and that what we put on is in some way a reflection of what we feel？

W: Oh yes, very much so. Now people are beginning to take seriously the idea of a kind of psychology of clothing, to believe that there is not just individual taste in our clothes but also thinking behind what we wear, which is trying to express something we may not even be aware of ourselves.

M: But surely this has always been the case. We all dress up when we want to impress someone, such as for a job interview with a prospective employer. We tend to make an effort and put on something smart.

W: Tree, but that's a conscious act. What I am talking about is more of a subconscious thing. Take for example the student who is away from home at college or university: if he tends to wrap himself up more than the others, this is because he is probably feeling homesick. Similarly, a general feeling of insecurity can sometimes take the form. of over-dressing in warmer clothes than are necessary.

M: Can you give any other examples？

W: Yes. I think people who are sociable and outgoing tend to dress in an extroverted way, preferring brighter or more dazzling colors--yellows, bright reds, and so on. In the same way, that might be seen as parallel with the animal kingdom; aggressive clothes might indicate an aggressive personality or attitude to life. Think about the threat displays used by animals when they want to warn, off opponents.

M: Do you think the care over the way we actually wear our clothes has anything to tell1 us？

W: Yes, indeed. The length, for example, of a man's trousers speaks volumes about his awareness of his own image. Or, if his trousers are very short or hanging loosely, this probably means he's absorbed by other things.

(23)

A．A desire to express oneself and display one's wealth.

听力原文：W: Professor Marnes, I wonder if you can fill me in on your lecture last Friday. I had to attend a scholarship award ceremony.

M: Oh well, congratulations. I hope you were rewarded handsomely!

W: Well, every bit helps. So, about your lecture, I understand you were talking about extinctions.

M: Yes. Well, the crux of my talk was just that we tend to think of extinction as a dramatic event, but most species die out over quite a period of time.

W: Why do they die off？ I thought they were continuously improving themselves. Natural selection, I think you once mentioned.

M: Ah, but you see while there is natural Competition between the species, what determines which species survive is largely by chance.

W: I don't get it. Why do species bother competing？

M: Well, there are short-term advantages. But many species also are helped by others. For example, the common housefly and cockroaches might have died off years ago if not for humans.

W: But you're not saying that humans are so successful merely because of chance？

M: To a certain extent, humans were initially lucky enough to have the right weather conditions and a lack of predators, but now, of course, we survive by ingenuity!

W: go we may never become extinct.

M: No, because we may be in a crash course to extinction by our continuous exploitation of the environment. We are a relatively young species and our time is hot yet overdue.

W: But there are 6 billion of us!

M: Yes and there're many more houseflies too! Each with the capacity to spread one disease from one person to another in a fast period of time.
