听力原文：M: Tell me Mrs. Clark, how did you come to be a bearded lady？

W: Well, it all began when I started growing a beard.

M: Mm...and when was that exactly？

W: Just after my fourth birthday, I believe.

M: Really？ As early as that？ Didn't you see a doctor？

W: Oh, yes, my parents took me to dozens of specialists.

M: And what did they have to say？

W: They just told me to shave.

M: That's all the advice they could give？ So you started shaving？

W: Well, I was too young to be allowed to use a razor, and electric razors weren't even thought of in thee days, so my dad used to shave me once a week before going to church on Sundays.

M: And when did you stop shaving？

W: Oh, that would have been when I was around fifteen. You see it was growing at an enormous rate, something like five inches a day, I mean you could almost see it growing, and it was so thick. I mean a razor or scissors were no use.

M: So you...let it grow？

W: Well, it was taking so much lime trying to keep it down and I was just wasting my time fighting a losing battle. So I thought...I'll just let it grow...and that's when I came to work in the circus. I was spotted by a talent scout.

M: Do you...ever cut your beard now？

W: Oh, yes, every week I chop off a few feet. I have to cut it or I fall over it if I don't remember to wrap it around my waist.
