听力原文：M: Are traveling facilities good in the rest of Britain？

W: Well, we've got the railways that connect all our big towns. There're over 13,000 miles of track in Britain. Rail transport provides a very important service to the public, to industry and commerce.

M: What about road transport？ Are your roads good？

W: Yes, they are on the whole. We've got about a quarter of a million miles of roads, and multi-motorways are appearing everywhere. We should have over one thousand miles of motorways soon.

M: Is there a good internal air service in Britain？

W: Well, yes. But it is not as important as our rail and road transport systems.

M: But British air services, the BEA and the BOAC, are world famous, aren't they？

W: Oh yes, our international air services are very good. London Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world.

M: What about travel by sea？

W: As an island people and a trading nation, Britain's seafaring traditions have always been great. We used to have the biggest merchant navy in the world, carrying a third of the world's passengers, you know.

M: But I suppose today sea travel has diminished in importance, hasn't it？

W: It has. But some people still prefer traveling by sea to any other forms of transport.

听力原文：W: Howard, what are you working on now？

M: I have just finished a piece on the background music.

W: Background music？ Oh, like the music they're playing here now.

M: Yes. You can hear it everywhere — in restaurants, airports, supermarkets, department stores and so on. It's supposed to influence your attitudes, put you in the right mood.

W: I am not sure I like that idea.

M: Well, it seems to work. Companies pay millions of dollars every year for background music. It's supposed to give you a better feeling about yourself and the people around you. Factories use it a lot. It makes the workers happy, and they work better that way. In one factory, music increased production 4.5 percent.

W: I should think they'd get tired of hearing music all day.

M: They don't, though. One fellow in San Francisco told me, "If the music stops, somebody always runs to the telephone to complain."

W: Now that I think about it, I can't remember when there wasn't background music in restaurants and stores.

M: That shows how young you are. Actually, it all started during World War Ⅱ when some factories had their own orchestras to keep workers happy and calm. Now different kinds of music are playing at different times during the day. They play faster music at ten in the morning than at eight, for instance, because workers tend to be slower then.

W: What about restaurants？ Do they play the same music for dinner and lunch？

M: I don't know about that, but I do know that hamburger places play fast music. When they started playing faster music, they found that a customer spent only seventeen minutes eating. The time was twenty-minutes before that.

(23)

A．An orchestra conductor.

B．An music fan.

C．A sales manager in a music company.

D．A background music composer.

听力原文：With major airports facing chronic traffic jams and nobody volunteering to have a

new airport built in his backyard, how is the air-travel boom going to sustain itself？ One answer may come from the Department of Defense, which had sponsored development of an innovative new type of aircraft that doesn't need a runway; its engine pods point upward for vertical takeoff, then tilt horizontally for forward flight.

To keep the prosperity of the air industry, the Department of Defense has invested a lot of money to develop an innovative type of aircraft which does not need a runway.
