M: What's up, Marcy? You seem to be in a good mood today.
W: I guess I am. It's the new printer I just bought for my computer.
M: Hey, that's terrific.
W: Thanks. It's good I can charge it to my credit card though. If I had to come up with that much cash on the spot. I just wouldn't made it afforded.
M: You know, I'm doing a term paper on that for my economic seminar. I read that a lot of people in the world would be able to support themselves and their families much better if they could start their own businesses. But usually banks wouldn't lend them the money they need to get started. Often, if you don't already have property or other assets, they won't give you even the smallest loan.
W: That doesn't seem fair.
M: Exactly. But now there's something known as micro-credit. That's what they call very small loans that enable people to go into businesses for themselves. In southern Asia, micro-credit programmes were set up to lend to people that reguar bank would even to look at.
W: And the borrowers use the money?
M: To buy tools, and material for producing clothes, or food or whatever that they can sell to to make a little money to feed their families, and also start to pay back for loan. And then they can borrow a little more and to make a little profit. And...
W: And the lenders get their money back?
M: With interests. It's been so successful that now micro-credit lending is spreading to other parts of the world too, even to north America. That's what my paper will be about.
W: Say, do you need someone to type it for you? My rates are reasonable and it'll look really nice when I print it out.
M: On your new printer? Hey, how could I say no?
31. Why is the woman happy?
32. What is the conversation mainly about?

M: I think I finally decided what to write my paper about. It's a new museum right near the capital building in Washington D.C.
W: Really? I pick the museum, too. A science museum I've been(有点不清楚) in Alberta in Canada. It looked a sort of like spaceship.
M: Say, I read about that. It was built about 20 years ago, I think, by the same architect who design the building I'm interested in, Doglas Cardinal.
W: That's him. But, I can't imagine Cardinal designing anything in the traditional classical style of the capital.
M: Well, this new structure has to fit in with the architecture of the capital. But its style is anything but traditional. I don't mean that's one of those big blask boxes they call modern architecture though. Instead of right tangos and straight lines, this building has rounded free-form shapes in sweeping curves. It's a post represent natural forms like the Kenya Clipps in the western states, rock formations that were shaped by water and wind.
W: Sounds fantastic. But I wonder why that sort of style would be chosen for a building in Washington D.C.
M: That's easy. This place is called the National Musuem of the American Indian. And it's devoted to exibit the native American cultures, including those of the west. And for Cardinal, this is his own family heritage, too. And in designing this musuem he was careful to respect various native American's value and traditions, like paying attention to the direction of the winds and the position of the sun in the different seasons of the year.
W: Ahoh, a non-traditional building designed to show case some of the norh America's oldest traditions. Interesting.
35. What is the discussion mainly about?
36. What do the two museum mentioned in the conversation have in common?
37. What did the architect design the new building to look like?
38. What kinds of traditions are represented in Cardinal's new building? |
