听力原文：M: What are you doing？
W: I'm ordering some filing cabinets out of a catalog.
M: What do you need them for？
W: There's so much stuff piling up in my dormitory room. If I don't do something soon, I won't be able to move in there.
M: Do you usually order from a catalog？
W: Sometimes. Why？
M: Oh, it's just in the history class today we were talking about how the catalog sales business first got started in the US.
A Chicago retailer, Montgomery Ward started it in the late 1800s. It was really popular among farmers. It was difficult for them to make it to the big city stores so they ordered from catalogs.
W: Was Ward the only one in the business？
M: At first, but another person named Richard Sears started his own catalog after he heard how much money Ward was making.
W: What made them so popular？
M: Farmers trusted Ward and Sears for one thing. They delivered the products the farmers paid for and even refunded the price of things the farmers weren't satisfied with. The catalog became so popular that some country school teachers even used them as textbooks.
W: Textbooks？
M: Yeah, students practice spelling the names and adding up the prices of things in the catalogs.
W: Was everybody happy about it？

听力原文：M: So, what exactly are you doing to protect the elephants here？
W: Well, we have managed to raise a lot of money for this project. A lot of it is being used to compensate farmers for the damage that elephants do to their crops.
M: How does that protect the elephants？
W: Since the elephants cause damage to the crops, farmers are often tempted to go out and kill the elephants.
M: I see. So, the farmers don't have a real problem with the elephants until the elephants start eating the crops. But why do the elephants do that？
W: Well, there aren't enough trees to provide them with food on the land that has been re served for them.
M: Mm. But if you successfully protect the elephants, their numbers will grow and they will need more food. That means that they'll need more land.
W: That's true, but we've solved that problem too. What we do is move some elephants to reservations where there are relatively few.
M: So that's where you spend another large proportion of the money you raise.
W: Actually, it isn't very expensive because we share the cost with the people who run the other reservations.
M: I see. How do you decide which elephants to move？
W: We use two criteria. The first is that we maintain the genetic diversity of the elephant herd. The second is that we transport the more aggressive members of the herd, which results in us spending less money compensating farmers.
M: Are there any plans to expand the reservation？
W: We have allocated some money to land purchases, but such purchases could have a detrimental effect on the local human population, so we rarely do it.
M: What kinds 'of research are you doing on the elephants here？
W: We're mainly studying the way that elephants interact with each other within a herd.
M: I see. Well, thanks very much for your time.
W: My pleasure.

One of the professors, Tai Ju Matsuzsws, wanted to find out why some bodily healthy farmers soon lost their ability to think and reason and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.
With a team of researchers he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages with different jobs. Computers help them to get most exact measurement of the volume of the front and side parts of the brain which have something to do with intellects and feelings and decide the human character. The back part of the brain which controls tasks like eating and breathing, doesn't contract with the age. Contraction of front and side parts-as cells die off, was seen in some people in their thirties, but it was still not found in some 60 and 70-year-olds.
After the study, the professor concluded that there is a simple way to prevent contraction-using the head often and the contraction of the brain begin sooner in people in the country than in the town.
In ______ doctors say that for lack of exercise of our ______, we are growing old sooner.
A．America; feet
