I am always excited to see Fair Trade options available and () in some unlikely places. Sometimes unknown companies talk about Fair Trade issues, find a great product that they want to sell in their stores, and that's a fair trade product.

听力原文：W: How did you become a bike messenger？
M: My brother was a bike messenger and he broke his finger. I was working as a security guard and his bike and his bag and his lock were sitting there and I was like," Oh, let me try", because I wasn't having fun as a security guard. So I tried it and ended up liking it.
W: Do you know how many messengers work in New York？
M: I heard it's something like 3000. Some people say more. Just bicycle messengers sending packages, maybe like 1500. But if you count food delivery, it's like 5000 or more. A lot of people in New York do it as a regular job. I know people who have families and everything.
W: How can one become a messenger？ There are big and small companies？ Basically you just go there and register？
M: You don't really register, you just get a job. Some companies, you need to give them your social security number for taxes and stuff. Some companies, they don't even ask your last name. I think it's one of the only jobs that doesn't check your record, I mean, a lot of people we work with could've been in jail before.

听力原文：F: Hi, Frank.
M: Hi, Jessica. I've heard that you' ve got a job. Congratulations!
F: Thank you. What about you ？
M: Still hunting. Sometimes I just wonder why I've got such bad luck!
F: Why not try using the Internet？ I got mine there. You don' t go on line very often, do you ？
M: Yes. But I don' t trust the Internet much. Usually I just check my mail, enter the chat room and find some interesting news on the Internet.
F: You can make better use of your computer apart from just having fun. Through the keyboard, we can correspond almost instantly with anyone else, an where; we can find information on almost any topic. You can play orders for goods and services and you can explore the catalogues of faraway libraries.
M: And of course, I can reach the companies that want to recruit people.
F: Yes. All you have to do is to flu in some blanks and cliche here and there. And then, you wait for phone call.
M: Is that what happened to you ？
F: Exactly. I received phone balls from 27 companies within two weeks.
M: Ok, I will try.

A．Classmates.
B．Boyfriend and girlfriend.
C．Colleagues.
D．Brother and sister.
M: Our boss is a working machine. Keeping on working and making money is what he has in his mind. But we workers need rest.
W: Actually in some other companies they also do exercises to the radio broadcast. We need relaxation once in a while and only by this can we work efficiently.
M: Yes, I couldn't agree you more. But now we have to continue.

What's the relationship between the man and the woman？
A．Husband and wife
B．Boss and employee
C．Teacher and student
D．Negotiators
M: What do you mean？
W: Well, they have to be very careful not to offend people -- especially parents with young kids who might buy a CD that contained violent content or used strong language.
M: How can that be avoided？
W: Well, don't you remember when that woman -- some senator's wife, I think, made a fuss over this issue？ It's not really a law, but music companies are now encouraged to put a warning label on albums that describe violence or use strong language.
M: I don't understand. Doesn't that reduce the musician's freedom of speech？
W: Not really. Musicians still have a right to free speech, but the message on the label says, "Buyer, be careful: if you get upset by violence and ugly language, don't buy this album." You agree with that, don't you？
M: I don't know. I still think the whole thing is funny and unreasonable. Musicians should have the right to say what they want to say without having to have a warning label put on their music, I mean, who gets to decide what is considered offensive and what isn't, we don't need a sticker to tell us what to do!

Nowadays it's my job to know what's happening in the market so every day at work I have financial reports to read. I only get the chance to look at other things - for example business magazines - when I travel abroad.
We invest customers' money in many areas of the market. Traditionally we've invested in property and in manufacturing. However, an industry that is doing very well at the moment is high-tech companies so we plan to increase investment in that area.
Some of our competitors concentrate on achieving a friendly service. This is important but I think that, on the whole, our customers prefer lower charges which is what we guarantee.
Although we encourage our staff to achieve a maximum return on investments, we have strict procedures to make sure that risks are avoided where possible. Some companies may put profits first but it's important that our customers see us as a safe investment.
Next month The Thorpe Group will merge with Chart well Associates which means our company will be relocating to new offices. Most things, however, won't change - for example we won't lose any staff and there are no plans to invest in different areas of the market.
We are a market leader because of our experienced staff. When we take on staff we look for people who will perform. well in a team. Since we train staff in many of the skills they need, a financial background is not essential.
