听力原文：W: Can I help you, sir？
M: Um, yes. I bought this radio cassette player here a couple of weeks ago. Here's the receipt.
W: Ah ha. That's fine. What seems to be the problem？
M: Well, it's been nothing but trouble since I bought it.
W: OK. Just let me take a note of this. Er, radio cassette player.
M: The first thing is one of the speakers doesn't work properly. The sound is completely distorted with the radio or a tape.
W: Which one is it？
M: The right-hand one. Another problem is the left cassette player. It chews up tapes. It's completely ruined two of my favorite cassettes.
W: Oh, dear. The speaker and the cassette player.
M: One of the cassettes was brand new. Oh, and the rewind switch doesn't work. Actually it never did.
W: OK. So there is the right-hand speaker ... the cassette player and ... urn, the rewind switch. Is that it'？
M: No, I'm afraid not. The aerial doesn't work properly. It's stuck.
W: Hmm, 1 see what you mean. The handle is broken too.
M: Yes, I'd forgotten about that. It's not very good, is it？
W: Er, no. But it's under guarantee and we can repair it. Just give me your name and phone number. We'll give you a ring when it's ready.
Where are the two people, most probably？

The fact that blind people can "see" things using other parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color. If they can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color unconsciously.
Manufacturers have discovered by trial and error that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered unpleasant, and the cosmetics should never be packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of color psychology that now finds application in everything from fashion to interior decoration. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with passivity and calm, while yellow is a day color with associations of energy and incentive. For primitive man, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, while he soon saw as red, the color of blood and rage and the heat that came with effort. And green is associated with passive defence and self-preservation. Experiments have shown that colors, partly because of their physiological associations, also have a direct psychological effect. People exposed to bright red show an increase in heartbeat, and blood pressure; red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Because of its exciting connotations, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alertness and alarm, so fire engines and ambulances in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow colors.
Manufacturers found out that color affects sales______.

The National Geographic Society headquarters, _________ in Washington,D.C , is well- known
On the long list of worries that Mom and Dad have when a child goes to college-grades, home-sickness, partying there's a new issue gaining prominence: the apparent rise in mental illness on campus. More than 1,100 college students commit suicide each year, according to estimates by mental-health groups. And even when students aren't in acute distress, they're suffering in surprisingly large numbers. In a 2003 survey by the American College Health Association, more than 40 percent of students reported feeling "so depressed that it was difficult to function" at least once during the year. Thirty percent identified themselves as suffering from an anxiety disorder or depression.
While there is debate over why the numbers seem to be rising, there's also concern that colleges aren't dealing with the problem adequately. In January 2004 the Crimson, Harvard's student newspaper, published a widely discussed five-part series which concluded that "an overwhelming majority" of Harvard undergraduates experience mental-health problems, and that the university's shortcomings in helping them were creating "a pervasive mental-health crisis" on the campus.
Given that kind of assessment, it's inevitable that mental-health issues are starting to filter into admissions conversations. One counselor at an East Coast private high school says that during the 2003-04 admissions cycle, officials from two colleges confided they were particularly focused on admitting a class that was "rock solid" emotionally-both to help prevent suicides and to reduce the toll on overbooked school therapists. MIT Admissions Dean Marilee Jones says she's looking to enroll "emotionally resilient" students. "If we think someone will crumble the first time they do poorly on a test, we're not going to admit them," she says. "So many kids are coming in, feeling the need to be perfect, and so many kids are medicated now. If you need a lot of pharmaceutical support to get through the day, you're not a good match for a place like MIT."
Since the admissions process requires students to appear flawless, many families avoid disclosing a child's history of emotional problems, especially before they get an acceptance letter. How-ever, parents are starting to ask tough questions about just which kind of mental-health services they can expect from schools. Those inquiries become particularly acute at colleges that suffer high-pro-file student suicides.
