听力原文: During the Christmas shopping rush in London, the intriguing story was reported of a tramp who, apparently through no fault of his own, found himself locked in a well-known chain store late on Christmas Eve. No doubt the store was filled with last-minute Christmas shoppers and the staff were dead beating and longing to get home. Presumably all the proper security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last-minute Christmas presents.
However that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it. There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use. There must also have been television sets and radios. Though it was not reported if he took advantage of these facilities , when the shop re-opened, he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seems to have been a man of good humour and philosophic temperament—as indeed vagrants very commonly are. Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same. He submitted, cheerfully enough, to being taken away by the police. Perhaps he had a better Christmas than usual. He was put into prison for seven days. The judge awarded no compensation to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed. They had, in his opinion, already received valuable free publicity from the coverage the story received in the newspapers and on television. Perhaps the judge had a good Christmas too.

An auto loan
John Baker works in the loan department of a bank in Denver, Colorado. He is a loan of- ricer. Stanley Fanelli has an appointment with him now to ask about a loan. He needs money to buy a new car.
Mr. B: Hello, Mr. Fanelli. Please have a seat. What can I do for you today?
Mr. F: I want to borrow some money to buy a car. A friend of mine, Jack Richardson, bought a new car last week. He told me that he got his loan here.
Mr. B: Oh yes. I remember him. I was the loan officer who spoke with him.
Mr. F: He said that you were very helpful. I know very little about loans and I hope you can explain things to me.
Mr. B: I will certainly try. What questions did you have for me?
Mr. F: First, I want to know if loans for buying cars are commercial loans or personal loans.
Mr. B: Neither, Mr. Fanelli. They're auto loans. A commercial loan is principal that banks lend to businesses. Personal loans are made to individuals, but not for buying cars.
Mr. F: What about interest rates?
Mr. B: The rate of interest currently in effect on auto loans is 16%.
Mr. F: For how long will I have to make monthly payments?
Mr. B: The term of the loan is three years, so there will be 36 monthly payments.
Mr. F: Do I have to give the bank any collateral?
Mr. B: The car serves as collateral. If you default, the bank can take possession of the car. The bank also checks your credit file to make sure that you always paid back your loans in the past. Do you have any charge accounts?
Mr. F: My wife and I bought our furniture with our charge card and we even used it to buy airplane tickets for our vacation in California last year. We paid off both those debts promptly.
Mr. B: That's very good. I assume there will be no problem. But the first thing you have to do is fill out this loan application.
Mr. F: Thank you very much. I'll start right now.
