听力原文：W: Hello.

M: This is Jim Evers, from Market Research Corporation. We're conducting a nation-wide survey of people's reading habits. Would you have five minutes to answer a few questions？

W: Oh, I suppose.

M: First of all, do you read any newspapers and, if so which ones？

W: I read the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.

M: Approximately how many hours per week do you spend reading a newspaper？

W: Oh, let me see. About an hour a day, so I'd say at least seven hours a week.

M: Okay. Now, do you subscribe to these newspapers？

W: I subscribe to the Times, but I get the Wall Street Journal at the office.

M: I see. What about magazines？ Do you subscribe to any？

W: Oh, yeah, I get Fortune and Psychology Today. And my husband gets Esquire, so I read that too, sometimes.

M: About how many hours a week do you read magazines then？

W: Oh, about two or three.

M: All right. Now, do you read books regularly and, if so, what type？

W: Well, novels are my favorite kind but, to tell you the truth, I haven't read one in quite a while. I'm taking a class at night, so the only books I've been reading lately are my textbooks.

M: I take it then that you don't belong to a book club？

W: No, I don't.

M: And about how much time do you spend a week reading textbooks？

W: Not enough. I guess a couple of hours.

M: Okay. Besides textbooks, about how much money do you spend a year on books？

W: Very little. I prefer going to the library.

M: About how many hours of television do you watch a week？

W: Television？ Who's got the time？ We have two seats, but I watch PBS only once in a while no more than an hour a week.

M: Well, we're just about done. I just have a few personal questions, if you don't mind answering them.

W: That depends.

M: 1 need your approximate age. Are you between 25 and 35, 36 and 45, 46 and 55, 56 and above？

W: I'm 49.
