听力题M: I have a three-week vacation coming up in a few months, and I want to take a trip. But I don''t really know where I want to go.
W: Do you want to stay in this country, or would you prefer to go abroad?
M: I think I''d like to visit a foreign country. I''m not interested in Africa, but any place else would be fine.
W: Well, that leaves Asia, South America, and Europe. Oh, and I almost forgot Australia. Are you interested in seeing anything in particular? Historical monuments? Museums? Countryside? People?
M: Monuments might be interesting, but museums are too dull. I think I''d like to see a little night life, too. If I''m going to spend lots of money on a trip, I don''t want to be bored.
W: It sounds as if you would do well to go to Europe — possibly to France, Spain, or Italy. There are excellent hotels, so many interesting sights to see and plenty of night clubs.
M: Say, how about "Gay Paree"? I could spend my whole vacation there and really have a good time, couldn''t I? They say the night spots are really terrific!
W: Well, you''d certainly have plenty of time to find out. And during the day you could do a little sightseeing.
M: If I''m not too tired, I''d rather sleep during the day. I can always see the sights at home. You''ve convinced me. I''ll take a ticket to Paris!

听力题M: So you really believe that clothes carry a kind of message for other people and that what we put on is in some way a reflection of what we feel?
W: Oh yes, very much so. Now people are beginning to take seriously the idea of a kind of psychology of clothing, to believe that there is not just individual taste in our clothes but also a thinking behind what we wear which is trying to express something we may not even be aware of ourselves.
M: But surely this has always been the case. We all dress up when we want to impress someone , such as for a job interview with a prospective employer, we tend to make an effort and put on something smart.
W: True, but that''s a conscious act. What I am talking about is more of a subconscious thing. Take the student who is away from home at college or university for example; if he tends to wrap himself up more than the others, this is because he is probably feeling homesick. Similarly, a general feeling of insecure can sometimes take the form of over-dressing in warmer clothes than are necessary.
M: Can you give any other examples?
W: Yes. I think people who are sociable and out-going tend to dress in an extrovert way, preferring brighter or more dazzling colors -yellows, bright reds, and so on. In the same way, what might be seen as parallel with the animal kingdom, aggressive clothes might indicate an aggressive personality or attitude to life. Think about the threat displays used by animals when they want to warn off opponents.
M: Do you think the care, or lack of it over the way we actually wear our clothes has anything to tell us?
W: Yes, indeed. The length, for example, of a man''s trousers speaks volumes about his awareness of his own image. Or, if his trousers are very short or hanging loosely, this probably means he''s absorbed by other things.
