听力原文:W: Congratulations on your second album Love Is My Religion.
M: Thank you.
W: The message of love and friendship seems to be a running theme.
M: It was some stuff I was writing about that came together. I wasn't meaning to write about those themes.
W: So it wasn't a conscious decision to write about friendship and love?
M: No, no. I wanted to write an album that was more spiritual, more emotional.
W: Does that reflect where you were at the time you were writing the album?
M: We're trying to be. We're trying to get feeling of the alignment of the planets.
W: How long did it take you to record Love Is My Religion?
M: It took one year to record the album.
W: Was it shorter or longer than your previous efforts?
M: That's about the same.
W: Was it more difficult than your previous albums?
M: No, it's more spiritual. That's what it's all about. There was more opportunity to realize that we're not alone in our existence. There's a lot more happening when you're alone in an environment. You can actually perceive the things you wouldn't perceive if you were around a bunch of people.
W: So you prefer to work alone? So do I.
M: Some people don't work like that. They don't like to be alone.
W: I understand you played most, if not every, instrument on the album.
M: Not every. I played a lot. I had an engineer working with me, Ross, who played some instruments, too.
W: That must have been a lot of work.
M: It's not work. It's great fun. It's great enjoyment. It's experimentation and mystique that worked.

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: Hog, 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 reserved 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.
