听力原文:W: Can I help you?
M: Yes. I am a bit confused. My sociology class is supposed to read a chapter in a book called Sociology and the Modem Age. According to the syllabus, the book is in the library, but I haven't been able to find it.
W: Do you have your syllabus with you? May I see it?
M: Yes, uh...I put it on the front of my sociology notebook. Oh, here it is.
W: Let me see. Oh yes. Your professor has placed this book on reserve. That means you cannot find it on the shelves in its usual place. You need to go to a special room called the reserve room. It's down the hall and to the right.
W: I'm sorry—I still don't understand what you mean by "on reserve".
W: You see, your professor wants everyone in the class to read the chapter. If one student removes the book from the library, it is likely that none of the other students will have the opportunity to read it. So, your professor has insured that all students have the opportunity to read it by placing it on reserve.
M: So, will I be able to find this book?
W: Yes, when a book is on reserve, a student can go to the reserve room and ask the reserve librarian for the book. The student can have the book for a few hours, and he or she MUST read it in the library during that time. That way, the book stays in the library, and all students have a chance to read it.
M: Okay. Thank you. I understand now.
W: Will there be anything else?
M: No! I am on my way to the reserve room. Thanks again!

M: Yes. I thought it was quite interesting, but I don't quite understand the column entitled change. Can you explain what it means?
W: Well, I think it means the change from the year before. I am not a mathematician, but I assume the rise from 70p to 90p is a rise of 25 percent.
M: Oh, yes, I see. And the inflation rate is there for comparison.
W: Yes. Why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation?
M: I am sorry I've no idea. Perhaps parents in Britain are too generous.
W: Perhaps they are. But it looks as if children were not better off in 2001 than they were in 2002. That's strange, isn't it? And they seem to have been better off in 2003 than they are now. I wonder why that is.
M: Yes, I don't understand that at all.
W: Anyway, if you had children, how much pocket money would you give them?
M: I don't know. I think I'll probably give them 2 pounds a week.
W: Would you? And what would you expect them to do with it?
M: Well, out of that, they have to buy some small personal things, but I wouldn't expect them to save to buy their own socks, for example.
W: Yes, by the way, do most children in your country get pocket money?
M: Yeah, they do.
What is the table of figures about?
A.The pocket money British children get.
B.The annual inflation rate in Britain.
C.The things British children spend money on.
D.The rising cost of raising a child in Britain.
