听力原文:M: What's the matter, Mary? You look worried.

Q: What can you conclude from the conversation?
(15)

In the past, when things were made by hand, it seems there was a lot of pride in individual workmanship. People were really proud of things they made.
But now, of course, individuals don't make things. Most things are made on assembly lines and one person only has a very small part in putting something together so there isn't any workmanship any more.
A good example of this is a friend of mine, Mary. She bought a toaster last summer at a sale. She used it, I guess, pretty often, but she only had it a couple of months when suddenly the plastic base of the toaster cracked wide open, and at the same time the heating system in the toaster burned out.
She took it back to the store, but the clerk in the store said they wouldn't take it back, and they wouldn't give her money back, because she bought it on sale. So the only thing she could do was to buy a new one.
I'm sure Mary is more careful when she buys things now, and that's what we all have to be.
It can be learned from the passage that ______.
A.workmanship now can not be found as it was in the past
B.the toaster was broken because Mary used it too much
C.the quality of goods now isn't as good as it was
D.it is fair enough for the store not to give money back to Mary

Dear Nora,
The big news here is our car. Kate, Lisa, and I finally convinced Joe that the old tin can would fall to pieces if It was driven up once more. But just wait till you read what my serious, conservative husband bought—a bright bright-and-yeliow hard-top convertible with white-wall tires and feather upholstery! The kids'are in seventh heaven and, frankly, I'm pretty thrilled myself.
Joe gets his vacation in June, so don't be surprised to see this vision on wheels come hocking at your front door.
And as if that wasn't excitement enough, Carl Evans came home from his study overseas with a wife! Dora's a lovely girl who lived next door to his in America. They have rented the little yellow house on the corner of Tung Garden. We were over for a buffet dinner Friday night, and can Dora cook! We all kissed our diets good- bye that night. I am enclosing her recipe for a wonderful cake called plum cake. I've tried it, and it just melts in your mouth.
Aside from the usual drugstore gossip to the effect that Jane Broder is going steady with Gene Newsom and that Mrs. Mann has painted her house shocking pink, there is nothirg new here.
Let us hear all about Gerald. I'm sure Jack love his new job, since nothing but a chance to work in Japan could have induced you all to move away. We really do miss you, so please write a long, long letter.
Affectionately,
Mary
