听力原文：Laughter can even provide a kind of pain relief. Scientists had proved that laughter produces endorphins -- chemicals in the body that relieve pain. They divided 40 university students into four groups. The first group listened to a funny cassette for 20 minutes. The other three groups listened to either an informative tape, or a cassette intended to relax them, or no tape at all. Scientists found that if they produce pain in the students, those who had listened to the humorous tape could tolerate the discomfort for much longer.
Who can tolerate pain much longer？

"It's a good move for IBM," said Jason Maxwell, an analyst at Los Angeles-based TCW Group, which owns IBM shares. "It fits with their decade-old strategy of disinvesting in those areas where they don't have an advantage." IBM sold its hard-disk drive business in 2002 after the technology behind the products became widely available and easy to copy, leading to depressed profits. The same thing has happened in PCs as consumers use new items such as mobile phones to access the Internet. IBM, which made its first PC in 1981 and won orders by catering to businesses, retreated from selling its Aptiva PCs to retailers in the US in 1999 and decided to sell over the Internet.
Lenovo, based in Beijing, will reap benefits of the world's third most recognized brand-- IBM's brand name is worth US ＄53.8 billion, according to a survey by Interbrand.
How much will Lenovo pay in cash to purchase IBM？
