听力原文：W: Good morning, Professor Sherwood, Thank you for accepting our interview. You've been doing re search on happiness for many years, so I'm sure you have some interesting information to share with our audience.
M: Good morning. I hope I can answer your questions.
W: Are people in rich countries happier than people in not-so-rich countries？
M: Well, I would say there is a relationship between national wealth and well-being. In other words, the economic wealth of a country does appear to reflect the overall well-being of its citizens.
W: Does it mean that rich people in a country are happier than poor people？
M: In some poor Countries, satisfaction with one's financial situation does affect happiness. But once people are able to afford the basic necessities of life; having more money doesn't necessarily make them happier.
W: What about rich places like Europe and United States？ Are income and happiness related？
M: Very little. Rich people are only slightly happier than the average citizen.
W: I'm always wondering whether winning a lottery can bring happiness.
M: Well, as a matter of fact, various studies show that lottery winners only get temporary joy.
W: I guess wealth is like health. If you don't have your health or if you're extremely poor, you will be miserable.
M: Yes, that's true. Happiness is wanting what we have rather than getting what we want.
W: That's a nice way of putting it. In your opinion, do people become happier as their countries be come richer？
M: Well, if I take the case of the United States, from 1957 to 1996, the proportion of people who said that they were very happy declined from 35% to 30%. But during that same period, the average income per person in the United States doubled.
W: So, you mean that a steady increase in a country's prosperity does not mean an increase in its people's happiness.
M: That's right.
What does the woman do？
A．A teacher of economics.
B．A professor of studying happiness.
C．A consultant on economic affairs.
D．A specialist in political science.

听力原文：W: David, sorry for my school board meeting last night so late. I've been working on a special project with the school board, and I like your opinion on it.
M: What is it？
W: I've been trying to find a way to encourage reading.
M: Tell me about it. I work with families everyday, Eva. I see how people spend their leisure time --young and old.
W: Mostly watching TV. Well, that would be OK, if people took the time to read.
M: I couldn't agree with you more.
W: The question is, how do we get them to read more？
M: I think you are going to give me the answer to that question. You have that look in your eye.
W: I do have the answer, or at least I think I do. The plan is a simple one. Involve the entire family in a reading project. But first in the schoolrooms. By arranging with the public schools to schedule one hour a week--to start with. During that time, parents are invited to attended to read along with the children.
M: It can go beyond the school system.
W: Really？
M: I guarantee you it would go very well in the hospitals. My patients--mostly kids--would love to read or to be read to.
W: I love the idea. In that way, we can spend more time together. You and I are very busy these days, we need to find more time to be together, to do things together. That would be wonderful.

M: Well, I've got to write a paper about Hollywood in the 30s and 40s, and I'm really struggling. There are hundreds of books, and I just don't know where to begin.
W: Your topic sounds pretty big. Why don't you narrow it down to something like...,uh... the history of the studios during that time？
M: You know. I was thinking about doing that, but more than 30 books came up when I typed in "movie studios".
W: You could cut that down even further by listing the specific years you want. Try adding "1930s" or "1940s" or maybe "Golden Age".
M: "Golden Age" is a good idea. Let me type that in... Hey, look, just 6 books this time. That's a lot better.
W: Oh... another thing you might consider..., have you tried looking for any magazine or newspaper articles？
M: No, I've only been searching for books.
W: Well, you can look up magazine articles in the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature. And we do have the Los Angeles Times available over there. You might go through their indexes to see if there's anything you want.

听力原文：M. Mrs. Harrison, thanks very much for coming down here at the station. I, I know you've been through a terrible situation here today. Mm, I, I'd just like to go over some of the things you told Surgeon Clark at the bank.
W. All right.
M: Ah, ah. Would you like a cup of tea？
W. No, no, I'm fine.
M. All right.
W: Thanks.
M. Well, could you describe the two people who robbed the bank for this report we're filling out here？ Now anything at all that you could remember would be extremely helpful to US.
W. Well, just, I tell you I remember basically what I said before.
M: That's all right.
W: The man was tall, about six feet, and he had dark hair.
M. Dark hair.
W: And he had a mustache.
M. Very good. All right. Did he have any other distinguishing marks, I mean, scars for example, anything like that？
W: Scars, no, none of that I can remember.
M. Do you remember how old he was by any chance？
W. Eh, well, I, I guess around thirty.
M. Around thirty.
W. Maybe younger, give a take of a few years.
M. All right. Do you remember anything about what he might be wearing？
W: Yes, he, he had on a dark sweater, solid color. You know, the kind of color young people fancy nowadays.
M: Anything else that strikes you at the moment？
W: I, I remember he was wearing a light shirt under the sweater, a cotton one with dark, I think, dark stripes. It looks like a good brand.
M: Ah, very good.
W: Yes, yes.
M. Mm, now, all right. Can you tell us anything about the woman robber, Mrs. Harrison？
W: Well, I remember that she did most of the talking. She had a gun pointed at us and she told us to lie down on the floor and not to move if we knew what was good for us. I, I remember I've just thought like she was pointing the gun right at me and my little daughter was sitting right next to me and she, she was just so frightened.
M. Um, Mrs. Harrison, could you describe her for us？
W: She was wearing a wool sweater.
M: Ah, very good.
W: I remember it was a dark color, navy blue or dark gray.
M: Dark gray？
W: And I guess she was in her late twenties. Her hair was short, very short and curly.
M: Do you remember how tall she was？
W: Ah, about the same as myself, around five four.
M: Five four. All right. Do you, uh, remember anything else about this woman？
W: Yes, I remember the woman was wearing a pendant or a locket around her neck. I remember it specifically because I was then near the counter next to the bank manager and my little daughter started to cry.
M: Ah.
W: And this woman came up and said: "Shut your damn kid up, lady!" So I got a good look at her and she was pulling on the chain and playing with it, a pendant.
M: Oh？
W: It was gold, well, anyway, lookes like gold. And it had a strange shape.
M: Mm, ah, now, did either of them have any other noticeable characteristics, Mrs. Harrison？ Now, just take a minute.
W: Eh, no, I don't.
M: Think about this.
W: No, no, this is really all I can remember.
M: Well, did either of them wear glasses？
W: No, no, I'm sure of that.
M: All right, Mrs. Harrison. I really appreciate what you've been through today. I'm just going to ask you to look at some photographs before you leave if you don't mind. It won't take very long. Could you do that for me？
W: Ah, all right.

W. OK, sure.

听力原文：W: This is Frida and this is her husband Diego Rivera. She can't have fall en in love with him for his look. I reckon he must have been either very rich or very intelligent.
M: Actually, he was both highly intelligent and very rich. At first, Frida's father was against her marrying Diego because he was from an infamous family. But later on he agreed to it because he couldn't pay his daughter's medical expenses any more. Frida must have spent a fortune on doctors and operations over the years.
W: Oh, yes, what a terrible life first polio and then that awful accident. It's amazing she produced so many paintings, isn't it？
M: Yes, she must have been an incredibly brave woman.
W: But the marriage didn't work out too well, did it？
M: Well, it had its ups and downs.
W: She painted this one with the cropped hair while they were separated, didn't she？
M: Yes, that's right.
W. She really looked like a man here. In fact, she looked as if she's got a moustache! And why was she dressed in a man's suit？ I thought it might have had something to do with women's liberation. You know she cut off her hair to symbolize equality or something.
M: Er, no the reason she cut off her hair and put on a man's suit is because Diego Rivera loved her long hair, and also loved the traditional women's Mexican dresses she used to wear. She did it to hurt him.
