听力原文：W: I don't understand how the inventor earns money from the invention. (19) After all, anyone can copy and sell it. Really, what is a patent？ A piece of paper？ A philosophy？ You can't see it.
M: I am glad you asked that. Actually when an inventor has a patent, it's enforceable by the laws in the country where the inventor developed the invention. If anyone makes and sells the product then the inventor can take them to civil court.
W: What can the inventor expect to receive if he sues and wins？
M: Well, there are different things the court could do, but there's no guarantee. There's a good chance (20) the court could award him compensation and orders to stop the manufacture and sale of goods. It may well be that the goods would be ordered to be destroyed.
W: Can the other person being sued do anything to help themselves？
M: That's the beauty of the whole thing. Ignorance of the law doesn't count, I'm afraid. However, the other person can counter-sue pretending that they were actually the original inventor.
W: You said the inventor is protected by the laws of the country. Is everything equal？ Do all countries have the same law？
M: No, they're not all equal. You're right. It's only in theory. It is being worked on. The World Trade Organization has developed an agreement, Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, which makes sure that the patent is valid for 20 years.
W: That doesn't make sense. Twenty years is a long time.
M: Actually, it does. (21) It's believed that inventors make and sell goods faster after they register the patent because there's a 20-year limitation on the patent. On the other hand, other inventors can use the information the inventor disclosed when the product was registered. Giving the information is all part of the deal.
W: Cool.

第5题
听力原文：W: Bob, Have you seen any movies recently？
M: Yes, I've seen a few.
W: Have you noticed any people smoking in the movies？
M: I wasn't paying special attention to that, but I am sure I saw some actors and even actresses smoke in movies.
W: The World Health Organization says young people are likely to think smoking is a good thing if they see actors smoke, and that cigarette companies use movies to sell more tobacco, especially to young people.
M: That's true. Mass media may have some negative effects on viewers.
W: Now, people are calling for moviemakers to remove cigarettes from their films.
M: Do you think it's necessary？ Movies reflect social reality, after all. If the actors never smoke in films, the films may seem unreal.
W: You know, the W-H-O estimates that tobacco kills five million people a year, and that number is growing.
M: That's terrible, but do you think we can attribute it solely to the movies or to other media as well？
W: At least partly. In many countries, including India and the United States, it is illegal to try to sell tobacco on television.
M: But it is legal to show smoking and cigarettes in the movies.
W: Yes, it is reported that tobacco companies even give famous actors a free lifetime supply of cigarettes. These actors often have good-looking bodies. That makes young people think smoking will be good for their health.
M: Too bad. That's really misleading.
W: Sure, perhaps, a law should be passed that there shouldn't be too much smoking in mass media.
M: Absolutely.
(23)
A．Movies play an important role in persuading young people not to smoke.
B．Movies fail to reflect social reality and need improvement in this respect.
C．Movies are in many ways competing with TV to gain young viewers.
D．Movies partly contribute to the increasing number of young smokers.

What I don't, want is one of those young men just out of university, with exaggerated ideas of his own importance.
