听力原文： Last week we discussed the problem of rising prices, or, in the economist's terms, inflation. We noted that, during periods of inflation, all prices and incomes do not rise at the same rate. Some incomes rise more slowly than the cost of living, and a few do not rise at all. Other incomes rise more rapidly than the cost of living.
We concluded that persons with fixed incomes as, for example, the elderly who depend upon pensions, and persons with slow-rising incomes as, for example, an employee with a salary agreed to in a long-term contract, will be most seriously affected by inflation. Please recall that while their dollar incomes stay the same, the cost of goods and services rises, and in effect, real income decreases; that is, they are able to purchase less with the same amount of money. We also talked about the fact that stockholders and persons with business interests and investments would probably benefit most from inflation, since high prices would increase sales receipts, and profits would likely rise faster than the cost of living.
And now, before we begin today's lecture, are there any questions about the term "inflation"？

听力原文：M: Vicky! Have you heard the news？
W: No, Sam. What do you mean？
M: You know all the classes we've missed because of the snow？
W: Uh oh ....
M: Yup-we're going to have to make them up and the dean says it will have to be during spring break.
W: Sam! We have our-vacation all set! What are we going to do？ Do the others know？
M: I don't know but I certainly can't afford to miss five days of classes this semester, with that week I was sick ....
W: But I really don't want to cancel our trip. All of us have already made our plane reservations!
M: I can try to call the travel agency; maybe they can refund our money. But before we do anything we need to speak with our professors.
W: You think they'll excuse us from class？
M: Probably not. But I was talking to Mark this morning and he said that one of his professors told him that they could make up the class at a different time.
W: Wow--that's great! Which professor was it？
M: I don't know. But we're going to have to speak to all of them anyway.
W: Why didn't they add extra days at the end of the semester before summer classes？
M: Because of the graduation date, which can't be changed.
W: Are other colleges around here doing the same thing？
M: I would imagine set---it's been such a bad winter and we've missed too many classes. We do really need to make them up.
W: I know, I know. I was just really looking forward to this vacation. The idea of the sun and the beach!
M: Oh look, there's Professor Miller right now!
W: Come on, let's go talk to her!
