听力原文:F: Good afternoon, International Trade Center Exhibition Services. How can I help?
M: Oh, Hello. I'd like some information about the exhibiting at the International Automobile Show.
F: The Auto Show? So what would you like to know?
M: First, can you give me an idea of how big the fair is?
F: Well, 121 companies had stands last year. That figure should be up to 140 -this time.
M: Sorry. How many?
F: 140.
M: What about visitor numbers?
F: Over the 2 days, we had 16,500 visitors. So with more stands, we'd hope for more people this time1.
M: And where did they typically come from?
F: About 57 percent were from overseas1 , America and Europe, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea. The remainders were local people.
M: That's interesting. Now, a few practical questions. We're thinking of taking a stand about 45 square meters, how much will that cost us3 ?
F: 400 dollars per square meter.
M: Sorry, can you give me the cost again?
F: Yes, it's 400 dollars. So if you're looking at 45 square meters, that would be, let me see, 18,000 dollars. But that's just the cost for a basic stand.
M: What does the price include?
F: You get a listing in the catalogue in both Chinese and English, some basic furniture, a desk and four chairs, and electricity and lighting2.
M: So anything else would be extra, like poster.
F: That's right.
