听力原文：M: Hi, Nancy. Could I borrow some money until payday？
W: Uh, yeah, I guess. How are things going anyway？
M: Well, not very well. I've used my credit cards to pay off a lot of things recently, but now, I can't seem to pay the money off.
W: Uh, do you have a budget？ I mean, how do you keep track of your income and expenses？
M: No, but I guess I should have some financial plans.
W: Well, let me see if I can help you. How much money do you spend on your apartment？
M: Uh, I pay $890 on rent for the studio apartment downtown, not including utilities and cable TV. But the place has an awesome view of the city.
W: Uh, $890! Why are you paying so much for such a small place, when you could find a cheaper one somewhere outside of the downtown area？
M: Yeah, I guess.
W: How much money do you spend on entertainment a month？
M: Well, I spend a few dollars here and there on basketball and movie tickets, a concert or two, and ballroom dance lessons.
W: Uh, exactly how much do you spend on all of these？
M: Well, oh...about $400.
W: No wonder you're having money problems. You can't just blow your money on things like that! And what about transportation？
M: Oh, I commute to work everyday in my new sports car, but I got a great deal, and my monthly payments are only $450.
W: Well, I think you've got to reduce your spending, or you'll end up broke. I suggest you get rid of your credit cards, cut down on your entertainment expenses, and sell your car. Take public transportation from now on.

听力原文： Most forest fires are caused by human carelessness, negligence, or ignorance. Forest fire prevention, therefore, is mainly a problem of creating a better understanding of the importance of forests, an awareness of the danger of fire in the woods, and a sense of personal responsibility to safeguard the forests from danger. This is not an easy job. A city dweller, used to paved streets, does not easily change his smoking habits when he goes into the woods.
Careless smokers are responsible for thousands of forest fires each year. Many of these are started when cigarette butts and matches are tossed from automobiles. Others are caused by hunters, hikers, fishermen, or woods workers who are careless in disposing of their smoking materials. The Forest Service has posted rules in many of the National Forests that prohibit smoking except in certain designated areas. Many of the states have laws against throwing lighted materials from automobiles. The prevention of smoker-caused fires, however, depends upon changing the attitudes and behavior. of millions of people who smoke in hazardous areas.
The most important natural cause of fire is lightning. This accounts for 11% of forest fires on protected land for the entire nation. In the Western States, lightening causes a much higher percentage of fires than it does in the East.
Advances in knowledge of fire weather are helping forest protection forces to know when to be alert for lightning-caused fires. Adequate and well-equipped forces can control them quickly and hold the damage to a minimum. Experiments in"seeding" thunder clouds to prevent or control the lightning itself have been in progress for many years, but new breakthroughs are needed for any significant reduction in the lightning strikes.
