听力原文：W: Gosh! Have you seen this, Richard？
M: Seen what？
W: In the paper, it says there's a man going round pretending he's from the electricity board. He's been calling at people's home, saying he's come to cheek that all their appliances are safe. Then he gets around them to make him a cup of tea and while they are out of the room, he steals their money, handbag, whatever and makes off with it.
M: But you know Jane, it's partly their own fault. You should never let anyone like that in unless you are expecting them.
W: It's all very well to say that, but someone comes to the door and says electricity or gas, and you automatically think they are OK, especially if they flash a card to you.
M: Does this man have an ID then？
W: Yes, that's just it! It seems he used to work tot the electricity board at one time. According to the paper, the police are warning people, especially pensioners not to admit anyone unless they have an appointment. It's a bit sad. One old lady told them she'd just been to the post office to draw her pension when he called. She said he must have followed her home. He stole the whole lot.
M: But what does he look like？ Surely they must have a description.
W: Oh, yes, they have. Let's see. In his thirties, tall, bushy dark hair, slight northern accent, sounds a bit like you actually.

A．An accident.
B．A man.
C．An old lady.
D．A theft.

M: It's absolutely late. But have you looked at the ads？
W: Yeah. As a matter of fact I was reading one ad just this morning in the Daily paper which sounded terrific..
M: For a hotel？
W: Yes. Just outside Barcelona. It said that this hotel was right on the beach, and that's essential as far as we have concerned..
M: I know just how it is.
W: And all the rooms have balconies facing the sea and overlooking the beach.
M: Expensive？
W: No. That was the amazing thing about it. But I'm not sure how much exaggeration there is in the ad.
M: The only way to find out for certain is to go and try it. And that's taking rather a risk.

听力原文：W: What are you doing？
M: I’m ordering some filing cabinets out of a catalog.
W: What do you need them for？
M: There’s so much stuff piling up in my dormitory room. If I don’t do something soon, I won’t be able to move in there.
W: Do you usually order from a catalog？
M: Sometimes. Why？
W: Oh, it’s just in the history class today we were talking about how the catalog sales business first got started in the US. A Chicago retailer, Montgomery Ward started it in the late 1800s. It was really popular among farmers. It was difficult for them to make it to the big city stores so they ordered from catalogs.
M: Was Ward the only one in the business？
W: At first, but another person named Richard Sears started his own catalog after he heard how much money Ward was making.
M: What made them so popular？
W: Farmers trusted Ward and Sears for one thing. They delivered the products the farmers paid for and even refunded the price of things the farmers weren’t satisfied with. The catalog became so popular that in some counties school teachers even used them as textbooks.
M: Textbooks？
W: Yeah, students practice spelling the names and adding up the prices of things in the catalogs.
M: Was everybody that thrilled about it？
W: That’s doubtful. Say they drove some small store owners out of business. Sears and Ward sold stuff in such large quantities. They were able to undercut the prices at some small family owned stores.

A．The relationship between farmers, Ward and Sears.
B．The development of the catalog sales business.
