听力原文： Well, I manage a small branch of a large super-market, and we lose a lot of money through shoplifting. I have to try to prevent it or else I'll lose all my profits. A lot of shoplifting is done by young people, teenagers in groups. They do it for fun. They're not frightened so we have to make it difficult for them. Obviously a supermarket can't have chains or alarms on the goods, so we have store detectives, who walk around like ordinary shoppers, otherwise they'll be recognized. We have big signs up, saying: "shop-lifters will be prosecuted," but that doesn't help much. We've started putting cash desks at all the exits, we've found we have to do that, or else the shoplifters will walk straight out with things. Of course, that worries the ordinary shopper who hasn't found what he wanted. We also use closed-circuit television, but that's expensive. In fact all good methods of prevention are quite expensive, and naturally they make our prices more expensive, but it has to be done, otherwise shoplifting itself will make all the prices much higher, and the public doesn't want that!

第5题
You can now phone almost any country in the world, although in some cases you can only call big cities. When you cannot make direct dialing calls, you can ask the international operator to help you. This is more expensive and takes more time, but it may be helpful if you want to speak to a particular person and no one else, in this ease you should ask for a "person-to-person" call. Even more expensive is a reverse charge call where the person who receives the call pays. If the international line is busy, you can reserve(留下)a call, explain the number you want and the opera- mr will call you back when the line is free.
You can save money by calling outside office hours, for example, early in the morning, late at night, and on Sundays. Remember that the time may be different in the country that you are calling. International time is based on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). London is on GMT and Moscow, for example, is 3 hours ahead. There is one problem: change to DST (Daylight Saving Time) for the summer. In the UK, clocks are put forward one hour in spring and put back in au- tumn, and so London is actually one hour ahead of GMT in the summer.
What is the most expensive type of call？
A．Direct dial.
B．Through the operator.
C．Reverse charge call.
D．Calling outside office hours.

If women are mercilessly (无情地) exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big store.
Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.
No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability. They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.
When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy (反复无常) and instability？ Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability？ That is for you to decide.
Designers and big stores always make money______.
A．by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry
B．by predicting new fashions
C．by constantly changing the fashions in women's clothing
D．by attaching importance to quality women's clothing

听力原文： Three men are found smashing boulders with iron hammers.When asked what they are doing,the first man says,"Breaking big rocks into little rocks."The second man says,"Feeding my family."The third man says, "Building a cathedral."
Today's column focuses on the third man,the one who saw each hammer blow as contributing to the construction of a cathedral,a home for human dreams and sacred aspirations.To many of us who study and consult in occupational and organizational contexts,we would call what this third man does meaningful work.
I have come to see meaningful work as consisting of three central components.First,the work we do must make sense; we must know what's being asked of us and be able to identify the personal or organizational resources we need to do our job．Second,the work we do must have a point；we must be able to see how the little tasks we engage in build,brick-by-brick if you will,into an important part of the purpose of our company.Finally,the work that we do must benefit some greater good；we must be able to see how our toil helps others, whether that's saving the planet,saving a life,or making our co-workers'jobs easier so that they can go home and really be available for their families and friends．A growing body of evidence shows that meaningful workers are happy workers,more committed workers,and, in some tantalizing ways,better workers.
What does the second man answer when asked what they are doing？
A．Breaking big rocks into little ones
B．Feeding his family.
C．Building a cathedral.
D．Doing construction works.
