听力原文：M: How did you get started in jazz singing？
W: It was a zigzag route. I went from country music to singing madrigals, to singing folk, to opera, and then to jazz. People kept offering me different projects, saying ' Well, I know that you have never done this before, so maybe you might not want to？' and I would say, ' Oh, sure. I' 11 try it. ' So I went from form. to form, to form. and that is how.
M: Are you going to keep moving around or are you stuck on jazz singing now？
W: I think jazz is where I' m going to stay. I feel the most comfortable here, I have the most freedom here.
M: When were the sessions for this album originally done？
W: The session was done in Sept. of 1998 we mixed it down the second week of October, and nothing was done with it. I was busy for five and half years in a life of death battle with a portion of the government' a legal battle' that I had. So I had to drop everything to deal with it.
M: Does anyone in your family have a musical background？
W: I was brought up in a family that had an awful lot of musicians, and none of them took anything I was doing very seriously at all. I was actually the family joke. I just did this music to get it out of my system. I did not expect anyone to pay much attention to it. I just knew that I had to say it.
M: Thanks for talking with us, best wishes for your career.
W: Thank you!

听力原文：M: Doctor Thomas？ This is Keith Bradley from The Daily News. I'd like to ask you some questions about the new official standard weight that you purchased.
W: I' d be happy to help you. What would you like to know？
M: First of all, how is the standard weight used？
W: Well, the people in our department use it to check the scales all over the country. The Department of Weights and Measures—we' re a government agency—it' s our responsibility to see that all the scales measure I kilogram accurately. So this is the weight we use to adjust the scales.
M: How did you check the scales before？
W: We have an old standard weight that we used to use. It had to be replaced because it was imprecise. You see, it was made of poor quality metal that was too porous—it absorbed too much moisture.
M: Oh, so when the weather was humid, it weighed more. And when it was dry, it weighed less.
W: Exactly. And that variation can affect the standards of the whole country. So our department had the new weight made out of higher quality metal.
M: How much did it cost？
W: About forty-five thousand dollars.
M: Forty-five thousand dollars! For a one kilogram weight! That' s more expensive than gold. Is it really worth that much？
W: I' m sure it is. Industries depend on our government agency to monitor the accuracy of scales, so that when they buy and sell their products there' s one standard. Think of the drug industry, for example, those companies rely on high accuracy scales to manufacture and package medicine.
