听力原文：W: What are you doing?

M: I’m ordering some filing cabinets out of a catalog.

W: What do you need them for?

M: There’s so much stuff piling up in my dormitory room. If I don’t do something soon, I won’t be able to move in there.

W: Do you usually order from a catalog?

M: Sometimes. Why?

W: Oh, it’s just in the history class today we were talking about how the catalog sales business first got started in the US. A Chicago retailer, Montgomery Ward started it in the late 1800s. It was really popular among farmers. It was difficult for them to make it to the big city stores so they ordered from catalogs.

M: Was Ward the only one in the business?

W: At first, but another person named Richard Sears started his own catalog after he heard how much money Ward was making.

M: What made them so popular?

W: Farmers trusted Ward and Sears for one thing. They delivered the products the farmers paid for and even refunded the price of things the farmers weren’t satisfied with. The catalog became so popular that in some counties school teachers even used them as textbooks.

M: Textbooks?

W: Yeah, students practice spelling the names and adding up the prices of things in the catalogs.

M: Was everybody that thrilled about it?

W: That’s doubtful. Say they drove some small store owners out of business. Sears and Ward sold stuff in such large quantities. They were able to undercut the prices at some small family owned stores.

听力原文：M: Can you tell me about the university shuttle bus system? This is such a large campus, and I have classes all over it. I need to take the shuttle bus from one class to another, or I will never make it on time.

W: What do you need to know? I think it's a really great system.

M: First of all, where does it go?

W: The university shuttle bus goes all over campus. It does not leave the campus; if you want to travel off-campus, you'll need to take the city bus. But the university shuttle bus will get you from one class to the next, very efficiently.

M: And how much does it cost?

W: It's free, can you believe it? So you don't have to pay a cent to get all around the university campus.

M: That's really great. And how do I catch the shuttle bus?

W: Just look for one of the bright yellow shuttle bus signs, and go stand next to it. You can see the shuttle bus signs all over campus. A shuttle bus will come along approximately every five minutes, so you shouldn't have to wait long.

M: That all sounds good. Thanks for your help.

W: No problem.
