W: Oh, yes, very much so. Now people are beginning to take seriously the idea of a kind of psychology of clothing, to believe that (22)there is not just individual taste in our clothes but also a thinking behind what we wear which is trying to express something we may not even be aware of ourselves.
M: But surely this has always been the case. We all dress up when we want to impress someone, such as for a job interview with an employer; we tend to make an effort and put on something smart.
W: True, but that's conscious act. What I am talking about is something unconscious. For example, the student who is away from home at college or university: (23)if he tends to wrap himself up more than the others, this is because he is probably feeling homesick. Similarly, a general feeling of insecure can sometimes take the form. of overdressing in warmer clothes than necessary.
M: Can you give any other examples?
W: Yes. I think (24)people who are sociable and out-going tend to dress in an open way, preferring brighter colors.
M: Do you think the care over the way we actually wear our clothes has anything to tell us?
W: Yes, indeed. The length, for example, of a man's trousers speaks volumes about his awareness of his own image. Or, if his trousers are very short or having loosely, this probably means he's absorbed by other things.

听力原文: Early one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem; (29)it seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle. Though he was tired, Howe so, Howe ran into the salve problem as before. (29)The thread kept getting caught, around the needle. The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised, hut suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that (30)he bad just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practiced sewing machine.(31)Elias Howe was not the only one who found the answer to his problem in this way. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.

M: Oh yes, very much so. People are beginning now to take seriously the idea of a kind of psychology of clothing, to believe that there is not just individual taste in our clothes but also a thinking behind what we wear, which is trying to express something we may not even be aware of ourselves.
W: But surely this has always been the case. We all dress up when we want to impress someone, such as for a job interview with a prospective employer.
M: True, but that's a conscious act. What I'm talking about is more of a subconscious thing. Take for example the student who is away from home: if he tends to wrap himself up more than the others, this is because he is probably feeling homesick. Simitarly, a general feeling of insecurity can sometimes take the form. of over-dressing in warmer clothes than are necessary.
W: Can you give any other examples of this kind?
M: Yes. I think people who are sociable and outgoing tend to prefer brighter or more dazzling colors -- yellows, bright reds, and so on. And aggressive clothes might indicate an aggressive personality or attitude to life.
W: Do you think the care -- or lack of it -- over the way we actually wear our clothes has anything to tell us?
M: Yes, indeed. The length, for example, of a man's trousers speaks volumes about his awareness of his own image. Or, if his trousers are hanging down, this probably means he's absorbed by other things.
W: Oh, very interesting. Tell me more about it.
M: OK ....

When the saver needs his money back, he dose not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.
Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the Government or by local authorities. Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railways, this country could not function. All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised through taxes alone. The Government, local authorities, and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange.
There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose standard of living dose not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another this new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance.
Almost ail companies involved in new production and development must ______.
A.rely on their own financial resources
B.persuade the banks to provide long-term fin0ance
C.borrow large sums of money from friends and people they know
D.depend on the population as a whole for finance

听力原文:M: Do you know what happened to me today? I was so embarrassed.
W: What?
M: Well, Dr. Brown's class finished ten minutes early, so I went to the library between classes. I knew I didn't have much time, but I wanted to get those books on the Industrial Revolution. I looked them up in the card catalog and went right to the stacks and found them. So t put them in my book bag and headed back toward the door. Then it happened. The exit gate in front of the door wouldn't open, and a guard immediately, warned me that I hadn't checked out my books. He thought I was trying to steal them.
W: That must have been embarrassing. But why didn't the exit gate open?
M: I asked them that. It seems the books in the library are all magnetically coded, and when you check them out, the librarian behind the desk demagnetizes them, then the exit gate will open.
W: How interesting! I still don't quite understand how they do it, though. I'll have to go to the library and see it for myself.

A.One of his classes finished early.
