听力原文: When Colonel Harland Sanders retired at the age of 65,he had little to show for himself,except an old Caddie roadster,a $105 monthly pension check,and a recipe for chicken.
Knowing he couldn't live on his pension,he took his chicken recipe in hand,got behind the wheel of his van, and set out to make his fortune.His first plan was to sell his chicken recipe to restaurant owners, who would in rum pay him some money for every piece of chicken they sold--5 cents per chicken.The first restaurateur he called on turned him down.
So did the second.
So did the third.
In fact,the first 1008 sales calls Colonel Sanders made ended in rejection.Still,he continued to call on owners as he traveled across the USA,sleeping in his car to save money.Prospect number 1009 gave him his first"yes".
After two years of making daily sales he had signed up a total of five restaurants.Still the Colonel pressed on,knowing that he had a great chicken recipe and that someday the idea would catch on.
Of course,you know how the story ends.The idea DID catch on.By 1963 the Colonel had 600 restaurants across the country selling his secret recipe of Kentucky Fried Chicken with 11 herbs and spices.
What does the speaker say about Colonel Harland Sanders when he retired?
A.He had no pension.
B.He had a great car.
C.He was right at the age of 56.
D.He owned a recipe for chicken.
听力原文:W: Hello.
M: This is Mr. Jackson. Could I speak to Dr. Wang, please?
W: Speaking. How's that new bridge, Mr. Jackson?
M: Not so good, doctor. That's what I'm calling about. It just doesn't seem to fit right.
W: Well, that's to be expected during the first few days after it has been put in. As I told you, there will be no complications.
M: It hurts so much, especially when I eat. I keep removing it afterwards, you know.
W: I understand, Mr. Jackson. It does hurt in the beginning, I know. But it would be better if you didn't remove it, except when cleaning it, of course.
M: Well, I did at first, doctor, but my gums hurt so much that I just can't stand it any longer.
W: Well, maybe we can adjust it a little more.
M: Adjust it?
W: Yes, file it down a little here and there. When can you come in?
M: Oh, right away, doctor, if you don't mind.
W: I'll check here now. Maybe I can find the time for you this morning.
M: Oh, I can wait until this afternoon if you're too busy now.
W: Sorry, Mr. Jackson, but I'd rather you'd come this morning if possible. This afternoon I'm teaching a class at the dental school. Just a minute, Mr. Jackson, can you get here at about 11:30? That will give us enough time before lunch. We'll see what we can do.
M: Oh, yes, doctor. I can make it. Thank yon. See you then.
What was wrong with Mr. Jackson?
A.He had toothache.
B.He hurt his legs.
C.His false teeth didn't fit.
D.Something was wrong with his fingers.
A: I've come about your offer for bristles.
B: We have the offer ready for you. Let me see... Here it is. 100 cases of Tsingtao Bristles, 57mm, at... pounds sterling per kilogram, CIF European Main Ports, for shipment in June, 2009. The offer is valid for three days.
A: Why, your price has soared.It's almost 25 % higher than last year's. It would be impossible for us to push any sales at such a price.
B: I'm a little surprised to hear you say that. You know very well that market for bristles has gone up a great deal in recent months. The price we offer compares favourably with quotations you can get elsewhere.
A: I'm afraid I can't agree with you there. I must point out that your price is higher than some of the quotations we have received from other sources.
B: But you must take the quality into consideration. Everyone in the trade knows that China's bristles are of superior quality to those from other countries.
A: I agree that yours are of better quality. But there's competition from synthetic products, too. You can't ignore that prices for synthetic bristles haven't changed much over the years.
B: There's practically no substitute for bristles for certain uses. That's why demand for natural bristles keeps rising in spite of cheaper synthetic ones. To be frank with you, if it were not for the long-standing relationship between us, we would hardly be willing to make you a firm offer at this price.
A: Well, we'll have a lot of difficulties in persuading our clients to buy at this price. But I'll have to try, I suppose.
