Rich Dad Poor Dad seems not to express ideas straightforward.
听力原文：M: Ow ! That hurts !
W: What happened？ Did you cut yourself？
M: Yes—on the edge of this paper. How can such a little cut hurt so much？ I'm not even bleeding, but my finger really hurts.
W: You know, I read something about that. It turns out that a little cut on a finger can hurt a lot more than a big cut somewhere else.
M: Why？ That doesn't make any sense.
W: Actually, it does. There are more nerve endings in your hands than almost anywhere else in the body, and it's the nerve endings that allow you to feel pain.
M: I guess that's true.
W: Also, a little cut like yours won't damage the nerve endings, just irritate them. If they were dam aged. you'd feel less pain, but the wound could be more serious.
M: So I suppose I should be happy my finger hurts so much？
W: Right. Now go get yourself a bandage.
M: Why？ You just told me it's not serious.
W: It's not, but it does seem to be bothering you. Putting a bandage over the cut will keep the skin from drying and will help the skin stay together. If the skin stays together, the nerve endings won't be exposed, and the cut will hurt less.

CATSA
Gia Andina de Triconos(CATSA) , a Bolivian joint venture of the U. S. Dresser Industries and local investors, which had based its investment(19)…an allocation under the metalworking program, closed its doors after(20)…to penetrate the Andean market after more than two years in operation.
The prospect of(21)…access to the Andean market, plus protection provided by a 55 percent" ad valorem" common outer tariff on bits sourced from outside the bloc, made the sales outlook seem(22)…However, CATSA's" monopoly" position in Ancom proved specious. (23)…the plant went on stream in 1974, the company was never able to export a single drill bit to the Andean market;and its local sales were(24)…a state-owned petroleum company. This market was clearly(25)…, since the operation had been based on exporting the bulk of the plant's 200-unit-per-month capacity to the Andean area.
CATSA could not penetrate the Ancom market for several reasons:
Although Ancom (26)…a 55 percent common outer tariff on third-country imports, some Ancom countries had previously (27)…LAFTA(Latin American Free Trade Association)tariff concessions, which take precedence over the Ancom tariffs.
Ancom members simply did not (28)…the spirit of the metalworking agreement. After the installation of the CATSA facility, plants producing tricorne bits (29)…in Peru and Venezuela. Under the metalworking program, participating (30)…were committed to prohibiting new foreign investment in allocations of other Ancom countries. But on the question of new investment by local industry, the obligation was only not to encourage it, with no requirement to prevent it.

Also, according to Bolivia, Colombia and Ecuador employed (33)…obstacles to avoid applying the common outer tariff.
The withdrawal of Chile from Ancom cost Bolivia a lucrative potential market, too.
