听力原文：  Money means different things to different people. We have all heard or used expressions such as, "How much money do you want for this? How much money do you make?" and "They have a lot of money." It is obvious that money does not mean the same thing in each of these expressions. In the first expression, money refers to a price; in the second, to income; and in the third, to wealth. The confusion arises because money is the standard in terms of which we value all material goods and services. For most of us, both income and wealth are considerably greater than our holdings of money. Income is the net revenue we receive for the sale of our services or of the products of our services. Wealth is the accumulation of past savings of income. Most of us hold only a small part of our wealth in the form. of money.

听力原文：M: Tell me Mrs. Clark, Now did you come to be a bearded lady?

W. Well, it all began when I started growing a beard.

M: Mm ... and when was that exactly?

W: Just after my fourth birthday, I believe.

M: Really? As early as that? Didn't you see a doctor?

W: Oh, yes, my parents took me to dozens of specialists.

M: And what did they have to say?

W: They just told me to shave.

M: That's all the advice they could give? So you started shaving?

W: Well, I was too young to be allowed to use a razor, and electric razors weren't even thought of in those days, so my dad used to shave me once a week before going to church on Sundays.

M: And when did you stop shaving'?.

W: Oh, that would have been when I was around fifteen. You see it was growing at an enormous rate, something like five inches a day, I mean you could almost see it growing, and it was so thick. I mean a razor or scissors were no use.

M: So you ... let it grow?

W: Well, it was taking so much time trying to keep it down and I was just wasting my time fighting a losing battle. So I thought ... I'll just let it grow ... and that's when I came to work in the circus. I was spotted by a talent scout.

M: Do you ... ever cut your beard now?

W: Oh, yes, every, week I chop off a few feet. I have to cut it or I fall over it if I don't remember to wrap it around my waist.
