听力原文：M: Hello, everyone. We're talking about Stella Hampton, famous Hollywood actress. Before the break, we were talking about your life, Stella, before you became a big star.
W: Yes... Oh, but do we have to？
M: Well, I think it's interesting. And I think our listeners will find it interesting, too. I mean, you didn't become a big star overnight. You struggled for many years.
W: You can say that again.
M: Tell us a little about it.
W: Oh, yes. I think I must have worked twenty or thirty different jobs.
M: Really？
W: Sure! I couldn't find work as an actress for many years, so I had to do something. You have to eat, right？
M: What kind of jobs did you have？
W: A little bit of everything: I worked as a waitress, in a department store, painting houses... I think I got fired from most of those stores.
M: Oh, yeah？ Come on, tell us a few stories.
W: This is so embarrassing... Well, I remember I worked for a big department store in the hats department. It was so boring. We never had any customers during the day, and that's when I worked. When I got sleepy, I used to lie down under the hat racks and take an occasional nap.
M: What happened？
W: Well, one day I got caught by my boss. And I got fired on the spot. Then there was the time I decided to paint house. It turned out that I was allergic to the paint. And my body was so sore after working the first day that I could hardly get out of the bed the next day. I couldn't take the physical work. I got fired again.
M: Any other war stories？
W: Well... you are not going to believe this, but I actually drove a taxi for a few days. I got hired as a cab driver.
M: No! You？
W: Yes. I was desperate and thought I could make good tips. I needed the money at the time. Unfortunately, it didn't lust.
M: Fired？
W: Yes. How did you guess？ On my third day, I hit a pole. No one was hurt in the accident —my passenger was fine — but it scared me to death. That was the end of my career as a driver.
M: Well, Stella, thank you for sharing those details with us. It's a good thing you made it as an actress! After the commercial break, we'll talk more with Stella about her new movie that's being released in September.

Apple and Microsoft each launched new products. One company astonished everyone. The other made people sleepy. Can you guess which was which？ You probably guessed wrong. Because Apple, famous for its
While Microsoft, which stole a move out of the Apple playbook, won cheers from high-end, creative-class consumers like business analysts, media designers and music producers. Microsoft launched several new products, but the big one was the Surface Studio--a 28-inch, extremely-high-resolution(分辨率) touchscreen tablet that doubles as a desktop PC screen. There’s also the Surface Dial, which can be placed on the Studio’s screen and revolved(旋转) to select menu items.
As Hayley Tsukayama remarked at The Washington Post, the Studio is really just a super-sized version of the Surface Books product that Microsoft has been selling for years. But if you’ve ever watched science fiction movies like Minority Report--where Tom Cruise seems to operate pictures and data hanging in mid-air by touching them, spreading their fingers to increase on details, and seeding files and information sliding from one folder(文件夹) to another with a click of the fingers, you can see how Microsoft is trying to show the same experience.
Meanwhile, Apple’s new products were almost like some fine promotions for its Apple TV. They boast(自夸) that the new MacBook Pros has a smaller size and more functions, and a new touchscreen bar on laptop keyboards where function keys used to be.
So what’s going on？ In many ways, Apple is focusing on attracting the average consumers who have been attracted by Microsoft. And Microsoft is focusing on targeting the high-end professionals Apple has historically been associated with. You can even see this in the companies’ ad campaigns: Microsoft’s ads stress imagination and creativity, while Apple’s commercial chief designer Jony Ive, in calm and professional British accent, explained Apple has improved the performance and convenience of its MacBooks.
So Apple is trying to control the world of devices and laptops from the top down, starting with the high-end market and moving on to appeal to a broader base of consumers. Microsoft, having already strengthened itself within the bigger low-end market, is now attempting the opposite with a bottom-up strategy. Will these succeed？ Time will tell…

B.To show how trendy Microsoft’s new products are

C.The reason why Apple designed the new products
D.The difference between Apple’s new products and Apple TV
