听力原文:W: Hey, Jack! How are you these days?
M: Not very well. I always feel tired. What's even worse, I often feel depressed for no reason. It seems that I feel tired of the Internet.
W: You? Tired of the Internet? Don't you spend at least five hours a day on the net?
M: Yes, I do. But there are times when the Net bored me to tears, however, I don't know what to do when I'm not sitting in front of the computer.
W: Oh, poor guy. I think your depression has something to do with the Internet.
M: Will the Internet cause depression?
W: Several days ago, I attended a lecture. The professor told us that Internet use appears to the cause a decline in psychological health, according to the research at Carnegie Mellon University. They started the research two years ago and found that even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less frequently.
M: I do not understand. I think at least the Net should be healthier than television. You know, when watching TV, we are like fools staring at the screen. But on Internet, you have absolute freedom to choose your information and you can communicate with your friends by emails, or by chatting on line, or by leaving messages on BBS.

Oscar Co designs and produces tracking devices. The company is managed by its four founders, who lack business administration skills. The company has revenue of $28m, and all sales are on 30 days’ credit. Its major customers are large multinational car manufacturing companies and are often late in paying their invoices. Oscar Co is a rapidly growing company and revenue has doubled in the last four years. Oscar Co has focused in this time on product development and customer service, and managing trade receivables has been neglected. Oscar Co’s average trade receivables are currently $5.37m, and bad debts are 2% of credit sales revenue. Partly as a result of poor credit control, the company has suffered a shortage of cash and has recently reached its overdraft limit. The four founders have spent large amounts of time chasing customers for payment. In an attempt to improve trade receivables management, Oscar Co has approached a factoring company. The factoring company has offered two possible options: Option 1 Administration by the factor of Oscar Co’s invoicing, sales accounting and receivables collection, on a full recourse basis. The factor would charge a service fee of 0·5% of credit sales revenue per year. Oscar Co estimates that this would result in savings of $30,000 per year in administration costs. Under this arrangement, the average trade receivables collection period would be 30 days. Option 2 Administration by the factor of Oscar Co’s invoicing, sales accounting and receivables collection on a non-recourse basis. The factor would charge a service fee of 1·5% of credit sales revenue per year. Administration cost savings and average trade receivables collection period would be as Option 1. Oscar Co would be required to accept an advance of 80% of credit sales when invoices are raised at an interest rate of 9% per year. Oscar Co pays interest on its overdraft at a rate of 7% per year and the company operates for 365 days per year. (a) Calculate the costs and benefits of each of Option 1 and Option 2 and comment on your findings. (b) Discuss reasons (other than costs and benefits already calculated) why Oscar Co may benefit from the services offered by the factoring company.

听力原文: Nick, an Italian-American who lived in San Francisco, flew from America to Italy to visit relatives. On the way, the plane made an hour stop to refuel at New York Airport.
Thinking that he had arrived, Nick got out and spent two days in New York believing he was in Rome. When his relatives were not there to meet him, Nick thought they had been caught in the heavy Roman traffic mentioned in their letters. While looking for their address, Nick could not help noticing that modernization had changed most, if net all, of the ancient city's landmarks.
He also noticed that many people spoke English with strong American accent. However, he just thought that Americans got everywhere. He also believed that so many street signs were written in English especially for the Americans.
Nick did not believe it when he was told that he was in New York. In order to get him on a plane back to San Francisco, the policeman raced him to the airport in a police car with sirens screaming. "See, " said Nick to his interpreter, "I know I'm in Italy. That's how they drive. "
