听力原文: I wonder how many of you would want to work in a tall building such as the Empire State Building if you had to climb 102 flights of stairs to reach the top. Not many, I imagine. If it were not for the invention of elevators, or lifts, tall buildings would be unusable.
The first lift was just a box suspended on a rope. Using a series of pulleys, a group of oxen or strong men would pull the rope and lift the box to a higher point. Lifts were used only for heavy materials, not passengers. Even in the nineteenth century, when steam power was used to operate the lifts, people didn' t ride them. They didn' t trust the rope that held the Box.
In 1853, Elisha G. Otis invented the first safe lift. He showed his invention in New York at the Crystal Palace Exhibition. At the exhibition, Otis was pulled up in an open box that was attached to two guide rails. When he was lifted far above the spectators, he gave the order to cut the rope. To the amazement of the crowd, the lift did not fall straight downward to the floor. Instead, it was held fast to the guide mils by a certain device. He had built powerful metal clamps on the carriage as a safety measure. The demonstration worked, end people have been riding as passengers in elevators ever since.

听力原文:W: Now people are suffering more stress, especially women. I wonder what most people can do to relax themselves?
M: Well, I read of a global study about this. According to it, listening to music is what most people do to ease stress.
W: I guess, that's because we have easy access to music via radio, TV, personal CD players and so many other channels.
M: Yeah, and watching TV is listed as the next popular stress reliever, followed by taking a bath or shower.
W: Well, I've heard that it is quite popular in your country for people to consult psychologists and doctors.
M: I'm afraid that's not true. I believe only a few people think it's helpful.
W: I have noticed that our manager always looks energetic, even though he works more than 12 hours a day. Perhaps, he takes some specific medicine.
M: I know his recipe. He likes dancing and often visits bars alone so that he can dance to his heart's content.
W: So that's how it is. But when I feel anxious or exhausted, I prefer to take a walk or read a funny story.
M: That's not a bad idea. Meanwhile, you can find some other ways to relax yourself if they are suitable for you.
