听力原文： You may remember that a few weeks ago we discussed the question of what photography is. Is it art or is it a method of reproducing images？ Docs photography belong in museums or just in our homes？ Today I want to talk about a person who tried to make his professional life an answer to such questions. Alfred Stieglitz went from the United States to Germany to study engineering. While he was over there he became interested in photography and began to experiment with his camera. He took pictures under conditions that most photographers considered too difficult. He took them at night, in the rain and of people and objects reflected in windows. When he returned to the United Stated he continued this revolutionary effort. Stieglitz was the first person to photograph skyscrapers, clouds and views from an airplane. What Stieglitz was trying to do in his photographs was what he tried to do throughout his life: make photography ail art. He thought that photography could be just as beautiful a form. of selfexpression as painting or drawing. For Stieglitz, his camera was his brush. While ninny photographers in the late 1800s and early 1900s thought of their work as a reproduction of identical images, Stieglitz saw his as creative art form. moment. In fact he never retouched his prints or made copies of thorn. If you are in this class today, I'm sure you'd say: Well, painters don't normally make extra copies of their paintings, do they？

A．The influence of weather on Alfred Stieglitz' photography.

B．Alfred Stieglitz' approach to photography.

C．Photographic techniques common in the early 1900's.

D．The life of Alfred Stieglitz.

听力原文： A couple of months ago, I went to a department store to buy a few things for the house. I needed a set of curtains for the living room, two table lamps, a rug and several cushions. I asked them to deliver the things as soon as possible, but they said they were unable to send them out until 20 days later. After about 3 weeks, I received only the curtains and table lamps. I was a little disappointed when I didn't receive all the items I had bought. But nevertheless, I was eager to see what the curtains and lamps looked like. I first opened the package with the curtains. I had bought a lovely light blue, and instead they had sent me a horrible dark purple. Well, you can just imagine how angry I was. Then I opened the boxes with the lamps. They were exactly what I'd ordered. But one of the lampshades was damaged. The next I did was to telephone them to complain. They promised to come and pick them up immediately and also to replace them with the correct order. It has been two weeks since my complaint. They have neither picked up the wrong items nor sent me the rest of my order.
