M: Everything on that shelf is worth fifty cents.
W: But if this is the signature of someone who is well-known, it might bring a lot more. I hear William Shakespeare's signature is worth about a million dollars.
M: Oh? I can hardly read what that one says. Who wrote it?
W: The name looks like "Harold Dobson". Wasn't he a politician or something? I' m going to buy this book and see if I can find a name looks like that in the library.
M: Good luck. Your poetry book may make you rich. But I think my seventy-five-cent mys- tery is a better buy.
Where is the conversation taking place?

听力原文: There can be (21) hardly anyone who has not heard of yoga, and, whether you are 16 or 60, you can reap the (22) benefits of taking it up as a hobby. Yoga was (23) developed by Hinduism and is a system of training the body and the mind. Its goal is to make it easier for people to remove all (24) distractions which hinder reaching that state of mind and body by which they can live a life of the spirit in union with their maker. Reaching this state is (25) considerably more difficult than might be imagined. For this reason, the training is (26) divided into stages, which become gradually harder and harder.
The aim of taking part in the physical training is to bring the body under (27) complete control in such areas as the regulation of breathing and the (28) flexibility of muscles, both of which play an important part in controlling our overall movements. The stress of mental training, as well as physical body (29) behaviour, make undisturbed concentration possible. Anyone trained in this way is called a yogi. So what are we waiting for? Maybe it's time we all headed for the nearest yoga class and started (30) training now!

M: Some of these books aren't so old though. See? This Mystery was published only six years ago: It cost 75 cents. You can't beat that.
W: Hey, look at this!
M: What! Are you getting interested in 19th century poetry all of a sudden?
W: No. Look here. Someone gave this book as a present and wrote a note on the inside of the front cover. It's dated 1893. Maybe it's worth something.
M: Everything on that shelf is worth 50 cents.
W: But if this is the signature of someone who is well known, it might bring a lot more. I hear Shakespeare's signature is worth about a million dollars.

W: The name looks like "Harold Dobson." Maybe "Dobbins"? Wasn't he a politician or something? I'm going to buy this book and see if I can find a name like that in the library.
M: Good luck. Your poetry book may make you rich, but I'll bet my 75-cent Mystery is a good buy.

听力原文: If you judge by the number of people who go to see the games and by the number of those who actually play it, basketball is probably the most popular sport in the United States. It is mainly an indoor game, and the seasons extends from late fall, through the winter, to early spring. There are many professional teams, but for the most part basketball is a second sport. There is hardly a high school or college in the country that does not have its team and its loyal following of fans.
In spring and summer, the most popular sport is baseball. During the warm weather you can see young men and boys playing this game in any part of the country. Radio and television bring the details of the big games to every comer of the land, and the activities of the professional teams are a topic of conversation for Americans everywhere.
In the fall, the most popular sport is football. As you know, this is not the same kind of game that is se popular in other parts of the world. Like basketball and baseball, it is typically American, and those who have never seen it before have difficulty seeing any sense in it. But for most of the spectators, the game itself is not as important as the music, the cheering, and the festival spirit that go with it. On a cool, bright autumn afternoon, there is nothing so colorful and exciting as a football game.
