听力原文:W: I was working on a paper about the differences between women and men. I have been thinking about it all these days,but no satisfactory results come out.
M: Ah,you may not realize you're working on a complicated philosophical issue.
W: I know exactly that men and women are different.They sometimes don't understand each other at all.
M: I agree.Men and women are interested in different topics when they are talking.Last weekend,John and I went to a ball game.When we're at the game,We talked about the players and what's going on in the game and nothing else.I think women wouldn't do that.
W: You bet! Yesterday,a friend and I sat at a cafe and talked about noting,and everything! Um…about my Sister's new baby... and about when she could go back to work…and you know,who should take care of the baby…things like that.
M: When a woman talks With a man,she'll often feel as though he wasn't really listening or that he wasn't really having a conversation, right?
W: Yeah,that sounds very familiar to me.
M:And I think a mall doesn't understand What the woman really wants from him.
W: I guess he probably wonders “what's her point?”,“where's this conversation going?”
M:To speak from experience,for a man,talking is generally more straightforward—it's about giving and getting facts.Men generally don't base their friendships on talking,but on doing—getting together with buddies,playing sports or hanging out.
W: Well,for me,a best friend is someone I can be close with and talk to.I can talk with her in detail about everyday events in our lives.We share feelings and secrets. This offers a chance to better understand our world and ourselves.

听力原文:W: With us now, is Malcolm Bricklin, CEO of Vehicles.
M:Hello,everyone.
W:We have been hearing a couple of tings about this news that Ford Motor Company is slashing up to 30,000 jobs,shutting down 14 plants nationwide.Is it a big deal if we are no longer manufacturing these cars,Malcolm?
M: I think it's a huge deal.I mean the companies are massive employers both directly and indirectly.If you look at Ford after their restructuring,they've actually got 87,000 employees which is twice as many as Microsoft have worldwide.Moreover,if you look at those jobs,they are very high-paying jobs.These are people who can afford to buy their own products.
W: Er,it seems to indicate a big hit for our economy if these jobs go bye-bye.
M: Yeah,it's a really sad day for America.
W: But it is not as if cars are stopped being made,right?
M: Correct.Still a large number of cars are being made by American manufacturers.More than half of the American cars sold in America are America.So what has happened over time is that as the market share has fallen,foreign car companies have come in,taken over plants and set up new plants and they have taken over that capacity.So,it is not like there are fewer cars being produced in America than there were 30 years ago.
W: Let me ask you about the Chinese coming in. What would it mean to American job, if and when that happen?
