听力原文：M: Is this the time to get that great new job？ Is this the time to sell or buy a new home？ Well our financial contributor Mellody Hobson has consulted all the experts including herself and she's got some answers this morning, Mellody, Good morning.
W: Good morning.
M: All right, houses. Is it the time to buy or sell a house？
W: Well, actually, housing looks like it's going to be a bust. The housing sales for this month were down 1.7%. That's the second month in a row. And the markets headed for a correction or a drop in prices. And it's important to know that mortgage rates have been up, so that's one of the big reasons that it's slowing down buying. And on top of that the other big indicator mortgage applications are down. Actually last week mortgage applications hit a three-and-a-half-year low. So what does all this mean？ If you are a buyer, I think you are gonna find some bargains out there.
M: Ok! It is puzzled to both then by the middle of the year you really find bargains. All right, your jobs, is this gonna be the year to look for a new job because they're gonna be available or is this a year in which more people again will get laid off.
W: This is good news on the job front, in November 215,000 jobs were added, that's up from 44,000 in October. December looks good. Companies out there say they're planning to hire in the first quarter of this year and there are still jobs shortages in certain areas like finance, health care and construction.
M: Great to get some optimistic news. All right, Mellody, thanks again and have a great weekend.

In old times, people wondered about the changes of seasons, about the stars, the moon and the sun. They could not explain these things, and so they made up "why" stories about them.
The ancient Greeks told about Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, who kept the earth all green all year. One day her daughter Persephone was kidnapped(绑架) by Hades, the god of the dead. Demeter was so unhappy that she let everything on earth die. At last, Hades permitted Persephone to return to her mother for part of the year. During that period, everything on earth grew well again. One season, however, Persephone had to stay with Hades. During that season, the earth remained cold and bare. So winter was explained.
American Indians told of an old woman who stood on a high mountain. When the moon was full, she cut off bits of it and threw these bits about the sky. This explained where the stars came from, and why the moon became small.
Hundreds of stories like these were passed down by word of mouth. Later, these stories were put in books. Today we read them not for explanation of natural wonders but for enjoyment.
The ancient Greeks explained ______.
A．how the year was divided into four seasons
B．how Demeter's daughter was saved

Advertisement can be thought of "as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services". Advertisement aims to increase people's awareness and arouse interest. It tries to inform. and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message. The press offers a fairly cheap method, and magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local market. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Public notices are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertisement.
There can be no doubt that the growth in advertisement is one of the most striking features of the western world in this century. Many businesses such as those handling frozen foods, liquor, tobacco and medicines have been built up largely by advertisement.
We might ask whether the cost of advertisement is paid for by the producer or by the customer. (19) Since advertisement forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertisement. However, if large scale advertisement leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less.
It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertisement on sales. When the market is growing, advertisement helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking, advertisement may prevent a bigger fall in sales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertisement if they were not convinced of its value to them.
Advertisement is often used to______.
A．deceive customers
B．increase production
C．arouse suspicion
D．push the sale
