M: Well, I'd like to think that my past as an artist has been an interesting one thus far. Stylistically there have been a lot of changes; I started out with a chunky organic brush style, very popular that time. Back then when I did my first book, My Dollar, I had a feeling that comments would just be too precious, and I want my work to be bold. I still enjoy working that way. But since then my interests have changed. Half way through my Run on the Little Cat. That's my second series. I move towards a more linear style, which is something I always loved. I've been trying a little variations on things out since then, and now I am trying to push towards a more graphic look. I really loved doing color work.
W: I'd say your works have been fairly eclectic in tone and story, do you agree?
M: Yeah, eclectic is a good word for it. I try to 'take on a project that seems interesting to me, I can't imagine working on just one kind of story for the rest of my life.
W. You are an, for lack of a better term, all-inclusive artist, meaning you usually ink your own pencils and keep your own style, can you stand to be influenced by someone else?
M. I have been influenced by others in the past, and they've all done an outstanding job. It's the nature of collaboration, isn't it? The thing is now I really enjoy having control over the final look of the art work.
W: What is it about the company that you've given it so much of your time and effort as an artist?
M: It's a very nurturing environment. My editors are all open to new ideas, and have encouraged me to push my abilities and grow. It's a great place to be, and I'm honored they keep renewing my contract.

M: Well, the 1992 Maastricht Treaty proposed a single currency between the European Union. The participating countries decided on the name "Euro' at a summit in Madrid in 1995 and the currency was launched on January 1, 1999.
W: What is it worth?
M: When the Euro was launched in 1999, one Euro was worth 1.17 US dollars or 71 British pence. However, the weakness of the Euro zone economies compared with that of the United States, combined with the inexperience of the European Central Bank in dealing with the international markets, has meant that since its launch the value of the Euro had declined significantly. In December 2001, one Euro was worth little more than 89 cents or 63 pennies, a 20 percent drop on its initial value.
W: Do you think it will affect the daily life of ordinary people?
M: I suppose so. For example, one of the major headaches for participating countries has been the con version of public telephones, vending machines, and shopping trolleys to accept Euro coins. Al though a conversion process has been in full swing since before 1999, there are reports that some countries are not ready for the Euro.
W: So what does it look like?
M: There are seven notes designed by the Austrian artist Robert Kalina. The designs show the "seven ages" of European development, with windows and gateways on the front, and bridges on the back. In addition, there are eight coins designed by the Belgian artist Luc Luycx. All Euro coins are round, but have differences in composition, weight, thickness, and milling to ensure that the blind can easily distinguish between them. On the front there is a European design, common to all coins, and on the back a "national" design from the central bank of issue. Despite the "national identities'', all coins can be spent throughout the Euro zone regardless of their origin.

听力原文:M: Hi, Sandy. How are your finals going?
W: Oh, hi, Michael. I finished my last exam this morning, and I finished two term papers. I finally feel like I can see the light.
M: Great. Now how about a change? I've got two tickets for the new modern art exhibit downtown. Do you want to go with me?
W: Oh, I don't know. I don't know anything about modern art, and I'm no artist.
M: You don't have to be an artist to enjoy a good art show! Besides, at least it's something different from studying.
W: You are right. Have you seen this exhibit yet?
M: No, but I've heard that it's great. The exhibit was in New York last summer and in Chicago after that. And next week it goes to Los Angeles.
W: Oh. Well, it ought to be good then.
M: And, besides, next door to the modern art museum is a new Asian art museum. So we could hit both of them if you're up for it.
W: OK, you've talked me into it. Did you want to go this afternoon?
M: If you have time. I'm ready.
W: OK. Let's meet after lunch. Shall we meet right here?
M: Sounds good to me. See you then.

听力原文:W: Hi, Mark. I didn't know you could paint.
M: Well, I'm just learning. It's for my studio art class.
W: It's pretty good for a beginner.
M: Oh thanks, Judy. The instructor really liked my schedules, but she hasn't seen my painting yet.
W: Eh, there seems to be something wrong with it though.
M: Yeah, I know what you mean. It doesn't look right to me either.
W: I think I know. Look here at the sky, it just seems to fill in with other colors of painting.
M: What do you mean? Everyone knows the sky is blue,
W: Well, that depends. Sometime it is and sometime it isn't, as sunset can be full of reds and purples. Well, even now, take a look now Mark, what do you sec?
M: It looks blue to me.
W: Look again. Do you see a kind of tannish color?
M: Oh yeah, I see what you mean.
W: By adding some tan to your sky, I think you'll get a more accurate picture, and the color will look more natural.
M: I think I'll try that. Gee, how did you get to know so much about painting? Have you taken a lot of courses?
W: No, actually. But my father is an artist.
M: A professional artist?
W: Oh yeah.
M: I wish we could talk some more, Judy. How about going for a cup of coffee? I'm ready for a break.
W: I'd love to. But I have to take a history exam. In fact, I was just on my way to the classroom, and I think I am already late. Maybe tomorrow.
M: Great, I'll meet you at the students' center after my class. A little after three, ok?
W: Sounds good. Got to be going now.
M: Bye, Judy.
