听力原文: Pamela Royal and her partner Edith Clark are the owners of the sea-view hotel in Brighton. As much of their business is seasonal, they do a good deal of the work themselves. In order to make a profit, it is necessary to keep down the cost of extra staff. Although they've never made a fortune for the last ten years, they have earned a reasonable living from the hotel. They work extremely well together and each has her own duties. In general, Pamela does the bookkeeping. She is excellent with figures and seldom makes a mistake. She also takes care of the decorations, particularly the flower arranging, which is her hobby. Edith on the other hand, makes all the staff arrangement, and when necessary, does the cooking. She is a very patient woman. And if guests make complaints, she tries her best to solve their problems. However, the two ladies do not do all the work themselves. They usually employ college students to do the cleaning and washing up. Old Albert, who is a retired policeman, goes in two hours a day to do the gardening and takes care of the swimming pool. Both ladies are very popular. They believe in having an informal relationship with the guests and often make friends with the regular visitors. Last month was their tenth anniversary in Brighton, and they had a dinner for their friends to celebrate. Pamela gave a speech and everyone wished them lots of success for the future.

听力原文: Helen was a very successful businesswoman. She had always liked nice clothes. (33)And when she had left school she worked in a shop which sold them, not far from her home. After a few experiments she showed that she was very successful at designing the sorts of things that women want to buy, so after a few years the owner of the shop, who was an old lady, offered to make her a partner. "It's something I should have done long ago," she told Helen with a smile. Helen was very pleased, of course, (34)and when the old lady retired, Helen bought her share and became the sole owner of the shop. Now she had her independence. Ever since she had started in the shop she had have to travel around to see what attractive things her rivals in the clothes trade were producing, to attend fashion shows and so oil. She had always stayed at small cheap hotels, because she dared not to spend too much money when she was saving up to buy a shop of her own. But when she at last became the owner of the shop, and it was making good profits, she found that she had plenty of money, and she felt she should now stay in the best hotels whenever she traveled. (35)"Then the people who buy good clothes can see that your business is successful," she said to herself, "and therefore more of them think they should buy the clothes you make."

M: Oh, it's nothing, really.
W: Are you sure? Like to talk about it?

W: Not quite. How? In what way?
M: Well, you see, ever since my father died, she' s been unhappy (19) .
W: But that's normal, isn't it? People are always upset about things like that.
