听力原文： Welcome to Software World. Bring you the very latest information on what is currently available on CD-ROM. Are you a director or producer looking for an unusual actor to play a part in a new movie project? Or with that special look for a new commercial on TV? OK, the usual procedure would be the contact of theatrical agency who will try to sell the idea of using one of the actors listed on their books. Books? Too old fashion for you? Then get yourself a copy of this latest electronic database called "the Electronic Curtain".

The "bringing child" of casting agent Fred Harney of the Better Talent Agency. He says he got the idea of an actors' directory from his son playing computer games. Noting that junior had to type in the details of characters in his favorite game, he realized he could do the same for the actors he represents. Eventually he came to include information on nearly three quarters of the proximately 34 thousand actors registered and looking for work in Britain. With some agencies boasting that they represent over 500 performers, the need for this product is not hard to fight them. It can be a nightmare trying to remember just which actor has done what or just what an actor can do.

The database lists details of over 5,500 actors, TV shows they have appeared in, special skills they possess, everything done to the color of their eyes and other distinguishing physical features. By entering the details of the type of person you are looking for, the database quickly locates only those persons with the particular qualities requested. One problem, though, is that many actors feel it is too impersonal and they could be missing out on much needed auditions for parts in theatrical shows. On the other hand, it might just get them that illusive job. The days of nervous nail-biting while waiting around to give an audition could well and truly be over and all because of our small plastic disc.

Sugar and water can kill you. Humans and animals are "unable to subsist【54】______a diet of sugar". The dead dogs in Professor Magendie' s【55】la______alerted the sugar industry to the hazards of free scientific inquiry. From that day to this, the sugar industry has invested millions of dollars in behind-the-scenes, subsidized science. The best scientific names that money could buy have been hired, in the hope that they could one day come up with something at least pseudoscientific in the way of glad tidings about sugar.
