听力原文：M: Did you know that astronauts have made commercial products in space？
W: No, I wasn't aware of that. What kind of products？
M: Tiny plastic beads with a little hole through it.
W: Tiny balls？ Do you mean to tell me that astronauts have nothing better to do than make jewelry beads in space？ It seems to me they could make more useful things out there.
M: Oh, but these little balls aren't for jewelry. They can be used for scientific purposes to conduct cancer research .

第5题
听力原文：W: Why is it that some children perform. much better than others at school？
M: Obviously, certain children are brighter than others, but it's not as simple as that. A lot of emphasis is placed on intelligence measured by tests.
W: The so-called IQ tests？
M: Yes. Basically they are intended to test linguistics and numerical skills, so some children are bound to suffer. This is very unfortunate. A child with an average IQ may turn out to be successful when he grows up.
W: What you're saying is that some children have abilities that are not easy to measure, that aren't appreciated
M: Precisely. And if these skills are not spotted sufficiently early, they cannot be developed. That's why, in my view, there are so many unhappy adults in this world. They are not doing the things they are best at.
W: I see.
M: But at school, only those children who are good with words and numbers, they probably do well in school examinations.
W: Right. Is there anything a parent can do to help in this case？

W: Why ask me that？ You know I never watch it.
M: Too busy with the latest hobby, are you？ What is it this time, knitting socks for your nephews？ Or collecting buttons？ I wish I had as much free time as you do.

M: That's not a waste of time. I've got to rest sometimes.
