听力原文：M: So, Juliet you.., you have a very powerful voice, with a wonderful range from

high to low... does it take a lot of looking after？

W: Urn... not more so than anybody else, I don't think.., urn, but err, I'm very lazy, I'm sure I'm doing a lot of things wrong.., urn, but err, so far so good. I do look after it in the fact that I try not to get very tired, or wear myself out, because not just, you know talking does as much damage, and laughing the wrong way, as singing does...

M: Is that so？ I didn't realize that...

W: Yeah... Some people talk... If you talk like this, you put a lot of strain on the back of cords there, urn, that does a lot of damage to your voice over a number of years, so you try and, I try and talk the way I'm talking now, not very fast, not very high-pitched, and without much pressure on my voice.

M: When you're singing, your voice sounds wonderfully relaxed, but that's not the idea that most people would have of the music business as a whole. Is the, is the life-style. very stressful？

W: Yes, as a matter of fact, it's very demanding, urn, it's probably like a, an executive job, urn, here you can't come home at a certain nine-to-five, you can't spend a lot of your time with people around you, you feel detached because you know, it's like, I, I... I don't necessarily have a schedule, I might work on weekends, um, but... I don't actually mind, but it's like your family, your boyfriend, or your husband, or whatever, they can't get to see you, it's like last night, I, err it's like I was supposed to be going out to have dinner with old friends, you know with some friends, and, I ended, I was at a studio, and I said, oh I should be finished around seven, and of course eleven o'clock came, and I was still at the studio, and everybody was raving mad, and I got there only to find that everybody was getting ready to leave the restaurant... Things like that do happen, you know you can't, you.., you're not tied to that, and because of that sometimes you feel you can't do things that other people, nine-to-five, can do. You might have a day off on a Tuesday, and all your nine-to-five friends have got to get up to go to work, so they don't necessarily want to go out on the town or to the countryside or to the beach, the way you might want to on a Saturday, and so you find that you, you change, and you hang around with more people in the business, because their schedules all fit yours...

M: You mean it is your music career that determines the pattern of your social life？

W: Yes, I mean you can have more of a social life within the business. It's not that you just want to hang out with the famous people, it's just that they're the ones that are available...
