Man 2: Well, they're a small, green, round fruit and they're delicious! New Zealand now exports more of them than any other fruit and vegetable - so kiwi fruit are very important to us economically. Of course, New Zealand is famous for lamb and wool production, and trade in both of these is still very good - though dairy products is actually the biggest area in terms of export income.
Man 1: I see.., and can you tell me why the KMB was started？
Man 2: Well, some years ago kiwi fruit farmers found they were producing more fruit, but the market wasn't growing at the same rate. So the KMB was formed - partly to set up distribution to retailers and so on within New Zealand, but also to find more customers for kiwi fruit around the world - in other words, to make the export market bigger.
Man 1: I see.., now just what do you do to find more customers around the world for a particular product.., especially one which people have probably never seen before？
Man 2: Well, there are a number of ways of doing this. Some marketing boards might do an international advertising campaign, so that when anybody in one of the target countries watches TV, they're certain to see the product. That's fine, but of course it costs a lot, and it's not really suited to our product. So we've always approached this in a different way - we want to be certain that anyone who buys our product anywhere in the world has a guarantee that what they're buying is of the highest quality. This is the best long-term policy.., you can do all kinds of things, like selling at cost price at the beginning so that your product is cheaper than its competitors, but we didn't think that would present the right image, and in the end you'll only have to raise your prices anyway.
Man 1: So, as with anything, it all comes down to how good your product is...
Man 2: That's right.
Man 1: And where do most exports of kiwi fruit go？
Man 2: Well, our market is expanding all the time. Our oldest markets are in Europe and Japan, but demand is growing in the Middle East and Korea. Our latest destinations are South America and Vietnam.
Man 1: Really？ So kiwi fruit are becoming truly international...
Man 2: Yes. And kiwi fruit currently make up 25% of all fruit exported by New Zealand.
Man 1: And do you expect that to rise？
Man 2: Yes - to 32% in five years' time, a 7% increase we hope!
Man 1: Mmm - OK how does the fruit get from grower to customer？
Man 2: Well, most kiwi is exported by sea though some is sent by air freight to Australia. The fruit comes into the ports by truck, after being packed by the growers at local packing stations.
There is a plan for express rail transport in the future, which should speed things up a bit more.
Man 1: And after the fruit arrives at the ports？
Man 2: Well, it's stored on the ships in large wooden boxes. We send 50 million boxes out of the country on 80 ships - but that's not enough! We're quite happy with the design of the boxes, and we know we've got exactly the right temperature on board for the fruit - in other words, our technology isn't a problem - we simply need more ships to be able to work as efficiently as we'd like to.
Man 1: And how do you see the future developing？
Man 2: Well, we hope to work out ways to send the fruit even more quickly to our export markets, to keep it as fresh as possible.
Man 1: Mmm - well thank you, Peter. One last question - is kiwi fruit popular in New Zealand？
Man 2: Yes... In fact it recently became the second biggest seller on the home market. It's overtaken sales of pears - although it'll be a while yet before we overtake apples. But that's OK of course, because all New Zealan
A．dairy products.
B．fruit and vegetables.
C．lamb and wool.
WA No, I made it myself.
MB You made it yourself？ That's incredible! How did you find the time to do something like that？
WA Well, you know what they say—you make time for things you enjoy. I took a rug-making class a couple of years ago, but it wasn't until I was in India and went to a rug market that I decided to finally make my own. So you're partially right — India is connected to this rug, but I didn't buy it there—just the materials I needed to make it.
What did the man assume about the rug？
A．That it was new
B．That the woman bought it
C．That it was a gift from the woman's parents
D．That the woman had owned it for a long time

WOMAN: Yes, it's a lovely city. And staying with relatives will help with the budget, of course,
MAN: The budget？

Now listen to the interview.
听力原文：Woman: Well, it seems quite common actually. Lots of people in Australia now are traveling and taking time off. And when I was actually traveling I met so many people doing the same thing.
Man: Yeah, Yeah, so where did you start off？
Woman: Well, I went to New Zealand first, urn, and got a job in a computer company as a secretary. And I worked there for four months.
Man: Really？ you can do that, can you？ I mean, it's possible for anyone to get a job in New Zealand without being a New Zealander？
Woman: No, not everybody, only Australians and New Zealanders can exchange either— you know you can work in either country.
Man: Right, yeah.
Woman: So that was easy. So I worked there for four months and raised enough money for the rest of the travels really. So from there I went to Indonesia and traveled around the different islands of Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, China, Nepal and India.
Man: What about in Indonesia, what did you do？ Did you fly mostly between the islands？
Woman: Er, I did a bit of that and boats, mainly local boats, between the islands.
Man: And what about, er, Singapore？ People say it, j,？ very, very modem but because it's so modem it's rather boring. Did you find that？
Woman: Um, well, it's difficult to say, really. It has different attractions; you know the Chinese, Malay and Hindu communities there. Each has its own culture and custom, very different from the others. And it's a great big shopping centre, and I really enjoyed it from that point of view. And, urn, it was very clean.
Man: And after, you said you went what, to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and then China7 That's a great country to travel in, isn't it？
Woman: Er, it was, yeah. And it was fabulous, it really was. You haven't been there then？
Man: No, I haven't, no. I mean, it's very big, isn't it— did you... ？
Woman: Yeah, well, I only had one month traveling in China and that was too short for such a vast country as China. I felt I didn't have enough time, so I sacrificed a lot of places and did the main tourist mutes really. I went to Beijing, the capital, Kaifeng, Yinchuan, and Tibet.
Man: Wow, how exciting] You said after Beijing you went to … ？
Woman: That was Kaifeng, in Central China's Henan Province. It's a charming city and has got a lot to look around, like temples and pagodas. Very traditional.
Man: Urn, urn.
Woman: What fascinated me when I was there was that some Jews went to live in Kaifeng many years ago. As early as the 16th century, there were Jewish families there. They had their synagogue and the five books of Moses. Even today several hundred descendants of the original Jews still live in Kaifeng.
Man: Really？ I've never heard of that! And, eh, where did you go after Kaifeng？
Woman: I went northwest to Yinchuan, the provincial city of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.
Man: Is this the place, eh, where there has always been a shortage of water？
Woman: No, no. On the contrary, it has got an abundant supply of water, because it is near the Yellow River. In this sense, Yinehuan has a favored geographical position in otherwise harsh surroundings.
Man: What did you see there, then？
Woman: Ningxia was once the capital of tile Western Xia during the l l th century, so outside Yinchuan you can still see the Western Xia Mausoleum, where the kings of that kingdom were buried. The tombs are scattered in a pretty big area at the foot of the Helan Mountain. And, inside the city, there is a famous mosque in the architectural style. of the Middle East.
