听力原文：W: Didn't you write a paper about Albert Kahn last semester？
M: Yes.for my history of architecture class.
W: Oh,I am taking it now andI have to do some research on industrial architecture.I need to read up on Kahn's factories. So I would like to see what you wrote about them.
M: I don't think my paper will help；I focus on his classical design like Clements library and office buildings. but you are interested in the modem building he is famous for.
W: Yes,he is best known for his factory,especially the auto plants in Detroit.He made a breakthrough in industrial design.You know before his time,factories were so narrow and inefficient,but his factory provided enough light and air and open space. So the cars could be assembled in one huge plant.
M: I remember reading that previously.factories had wooden frames and the heavy machinery made the buildings vibrate and there were fire hazards too.But when Kahn started to design auto plants around the turn of the century,reinforced concrete had just been invented.With the reinforced concrete,not only were the buildings solid and fireproof but they were cheap to put up too!
W: You seem to know a lot of about his industrial career.
M: Actually even though I wrote about his other works,I did a lot of background reading.Let me see if I can dig up that paper for you.There were some books of articles included in my bibliography that you might want to look up at the library.
W: Thank you.It will be a great help for me.

听力原文： Tokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time.In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be.Of course there are too many cars.The Japanese drive very fast when they can.But in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams.Tokyo is not different when one wants to walk.At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London's Oxford Street.But the streets near Ginza in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot,and sometimes it is really difficult to walk.People are very polite;there are just too many of them.The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night.That is when the night-clubs are closing and everybody wants to go home.There are 35,000 night-clubs in Tokyo,and you do not often see one that is empty.Most people travel to and from work by train.Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day.At most stations,trains arrive every two or three minutes,but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains.Although they are usually crowded,Japanese trains are very good.They always leave and arrive on time.On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper.In Tokyo trains everybody in a seat seems to be asleep,whether his joumey is long or short.
