听力原文: Economic experts say that the world economy should improve some this year. They say there will be exploding economic growth in most of Asia. There will be moderate economic growth in the United States and Canada, and there will be little or no growth in Europe and Japan, but China is expected to have the most economic growth this year, probably ten percent.
The New Year is expected to bring more underpayment in industrial countries. The organization for economic Cooperation and Development says about 35 million people in its 24 member countries could be without jobs by the middle of the year. That would mean an average unemployment rate in industrial countries of about eight and one hall per cent. Unemployment in some European countries, however, could be much higher. It could climb to eleven and one half percent. Economic experts in the United States say the American economy will continue to expand. They say Americans are feeling sure that economic conditions are improving. This means they are willing to spend more money. Economic experts also think American industries will invest more money to increase production.

It has been used for many years both in scientific research and to please crowds at public gatherings,
2 Hypnosis is commonly described as a condition similar to sleep. But, experts say it is more a form. of deep thought. The thought becomes so intense that it is longer just a thought. To the per son, it becomes reality.
3 Hypnotized patients are reported to have increased self-control and a reduced sense of pain. Some doctors use hypnosis to limit pain during a medical operation. Hypnosis is used mainly when the patient may have problems with usual anesthetic or pain-killing drugs.
4 Experts say there is little chance that a patient will awaken during such an operation. But, if this happens, the operation is temporarily halted, and the patient hypnotized again. Doctors may advise hypnosis for women who are giving birth. Dentists may use it in place of traditional pain-killing drugs, such as novocaine (麻醉药).
5 Hypnosis also has been used to treat burn victims. Researchers have found that bum victims who are hypnotized improve faster that those who are not. But, they are not sure why this happens.
6 Hypnosis can reduce or end a patient's pain. But experts say this does not mean the patient is cured. The problem that caused the pain still must be treated.
