It’s time to get back to start working on the next phase. All customers are out there waiting for us to get in touch.
Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
听力原文: It may be true, and we have to recognize obviously, that the population is badly housed and that we need more housing. However, housing uses up our scarce resources. It is pretty meaningless, therefore, to talk about providing more housing without taking into account the alternative use of resources. To provide more housing, when you have scarce resources, also implies, perhaps, making a choice between housing and other things which we could provide. Now, therefore, it's a question of priority. This is the problem which is true in U.K. market and it's also true in any housing market. The decision to provide more housing would involve giving up something. The question, therefore, arises. To what extent is the housing the greater priority than, say, health care and education. So we come to a problem about choice. How are choices to be made in any economy, concerning how much housing is going to be provided?
Indeed, how are the choices going to be made in any economy about anything which is provided? And who is going to make that choice? Basically, choices about how resources are allocated in any economy boil down to two possible ways of solving the problem. You either have the choices made directly by the government, or the choices are made indirectly through the market.

A.On housing.
B.On economy.

听力原文:W: I've been reading about (23)a new healthful snack food. It's made from fish. Have you heard anything about it?
M: No, I haven't, but I don't like fish very much anyway.
W: Not to worry. Although it's made primarily from fish, (24) it actually doesn't have a fishy taste. In fact, it can be flavored with tomato, cheese, or chocolate, for instance.
M: How can it not taste fishy? Do you know how the snack food is made?
W: First, the fish is minced, and cooked, and fermented. Then water and starch are added to make a dough.
M: It sounds awful. (25)Actually, the dough is very bland at that point, so the flavorings are added to give it some taste. Well, it still sounds a little strange, but I suppose this product will at least be low calorie and high protein like a health food.
W: Yes, you could call it that. And it has alone shelf life so it won't spoil quickly, and it's also easy to digest, and can be made from types of fish that usually aren't eaten, or from high grade fish by-products.
M: Hmmm. Have you got any samples? I might be willing to try the cheese :flavored variety.
W: No, none of it seems to be available yet. I understand it, this fish snack food probably won't be in the stores for another couple of years. So you'll have a While to get used to the whole idea.
M: A couple of years, huh? It may just take me that long. But thanks for telling me about it.

听力原文: There are many anecdotes about George Washington, the first president of the United States. Among them, there is the following:
Once a neighbor stole one of Washington's horses. Washington went with a police officer to the neighbor's farm to get the horse, but the neighbor refused to give the horse up; he claimed that it was his horse.
Washington placed both of his hands over the eyes of the horse and said to the neighbor, "If this is your horse, then you must tell us in which eye he is blind."
"In the right eye!" the neighbor said.
Washington took his hand from the right eye of the horse and showed the police officer that the horse was not blind in the right eye.
"Oh, I have made a mistake," said the neighbor. "He is blind in the left eye." Washington then showed that the horse was not blind in the left eye either.
"I have made another mistake," said the neighbor.
"Yes," said the police officer, "and you have also proven that the horse does not belong to you. You must return it to Mr Washington."

Speaker 2: Thank you, Professor Ray—Hi,—umm—I'm really excited to be here. Actually, I started my company when I was ten. Really! —it's true! These are Wristies.

So I went home and first, I looked for some warm material. Then I put it around each ann. And then I made a little hole for my thumb. And that's how I made the first pair of Wristies.
S1: Great! So, how did you decide to start a business?
S2: Well, at first, I didn't think about starting a business at all. I just made Wristies for my friends, in different colors, and they all loved them. It was really great! Then they said, "You know, you can sell these things!" And my mother helped me to start my company.
S1: Did she have any business experience?
S2: No! My mother didn't know anything about business, and I didn't either. But we talked tO a lot of people and asked a lot of questions, and you know, we learned a lot! And we had fun.
S1: Where can you buy Wristies?
S2: In stores. You can buy them in a lot of stores, and there's also a website. Once I went on a TV shopping show, and I sold a thousand pairs of Wristies in one hour! I couldn't believe it
