听力原文：W: Morning, Mr. Park.
M: Come here, Miss Li, I have something to talk to you.
W: What's the problem, Mr. Park？
M: We need to define a new strategy which must be flexible enough to take account of changing market conditions.
W: I agree. Our main objective must be to gain market share, and to do this we must reduce prices.
M: So you are sure that if we reduce prices, our market share will increase？
W: Yes, I'm sure.
M: That might be true. But if we reduce our prices, our margins will be lower and that will cut our profits.
W: In short term it is right. But we can slowly increase our production and as the production is increased, we may cut unit cost.
M: That's really a log-term prospect. But I believe higher profitability is our objective. The better the products, the higher the price, and the higher price will enhance higher profits.
W: The market is already very competitive. And if we raise our prices, whatever the quality, sales will drop rapidly.
M: Then shall we look at it from the other viewpoint--manufacturing. Well, if we can reduce cost in manufacturing that must put us in a strong position to adapt to the market. The only way for us is to sub-contract more of the production.
W: That will mean job losses if we do that.
M: That's true. But the jobs that remain will be more secure.
W: It sounds reasonable. Maybe we can try this way.
M: That's the best we can do, don't you agree？

听力原文： The pound plunged to its lowest level against the dollar for four years as the American currency soared to a new peak on the world's financial markets.
Share prices received a shock yesterday when the government increased interest rates to fifteen per cent. As a result, the Footsie slumped forty-two points closing at two thousand two hundred and eighty-one, its lowest level for ten weeks.
Minsk Data announced reductions in its workforce yesterday. Because of a small dip in profits, the company is in the red for the first time.
Yesterday, in a major collapse on the Tokyo stock market, the Nikkei average plunged five hundred and fifty-nine points because of the failure of the powerful New York bond market. And because of a sudden surge in profits from its overseas operations, Drexol is back in the black after two years of disappointing results.
Well, there's nothing like an attack of nerves on Wall Street for unsettling the world's stock markets. Already, an overnight plunge of 53.71 in the Dow Jones has had an impact in the Far East. As a result the UK market is likely to be depressed later this morning. The Hang Seng Index fell almost 2% to 12, 882 ending a rally that's been going on for several weeks.
Back home -- having fallen 21 points yesterday, the London share market badly needs good news to improve the situation. However, rumors that Britain's trade figures for the next quarter are disappointing again will not help.
Why did the share prices get a shock yesterday？
A．Because the pound fell to its lowest level against the dollar.
B．Because the American currency soared to a new peak.
C．Because the Footsie slumped forty-two points.
D．Because the government increased interest rates to fifteen per cent.
听力原文：M: Hello. Would you please tell me something about the stock？
W: Sure. What do you want me to start with？
M: Please start with the explanation of some terms like "a bull" and "a bear".
W: OK. A bull is a situation in which share prices are rising.
M: What about a bear then？
W: A bear is the situation in which share prices keep falling.
M: Oh, I see. But why the prices get rising or falling？
W: If there are more buyers, the price will rise. Otherwise, the price will be lower and lower.
M: How can we make money in the stock market？
W: If you believe the market will go up, you can buy in or hang on. If it turns out to be true, you can make your profit.
M: I heard that some people can earn money out of a bear market. How do they win in such a situation？
W: lf you believe the market will fall down, you can sell your shares and buy back at a lower price. The price difference is your profit.
M: It sounds easy to make money from stock investment.
W: Not at all. When you really invest in stock market, you'll get involved into the whole world.
M: What do you mean by that？
W: To decide which share you'll buy in is quite hard sometimes. You have to consider the market tendency, the growth of the company and you'd better know something about technical analysis.
M: So boring it is. I'd better invest in some fixed interest fields.
W: Certainly you can. You won't suffer from the risks. But your wallet will suffer.
M: What should I do？
W: If you really invest in stock, perhaps you should find a broker.
