M: Yes, that's right. The story of how a listener's determination has qualified her for our Consumer of the Month award.
W: This is the story of Miss Patty Ching who went on a holiday to Europe last month. This was her first ever trip abroad and one for which she'd been saving for 10 years. (19) She took a lot of photos. About 360 photographs. When Patty got home, she gave ail her photos to Top-class Photo Services for developing and they vanished. She never saw them again.
M: What did she do next?
W: So she wrote them a letter, telling them to pay up in ten days or she would take them to court. She received no reply. So she took them to court. Patty's case provides a lesson to us all. (20) If we want our fights as consumers, we've got to fight for them. (21) So for her determination and spirit we name Patty our Consumer of the Month.
M: Thank you, and now I'd like to deal with the problem that many of our listeners write about-Sale prices. When we go to a sale and see a sign on something saying 50% off or 300 dollars reduced to 100, how do we know the prices really have been reduced?
W: For the moment all we can do is to complain to the store's management and bring these cases to the attention of the public. Bad publicity might help to put a stop to this dishonest practice.

b. If the cartel decided to ship 10 cartons per month and set a price of 25 per carton, how should output be allocated among the firms?
c. At this shipping level, which firm has the most incentive to cheat? Does any firm not have all invention to cheat?
听力原文:M: I'm doing some research into the French revolution.
W: Oh, I did some on that last year.
M: Why do you think I'm here! Could you suggest some interesting and useful sources?
W: Sure. I found "Voices from the French Revolution" by Henri Le Brun to be very useful, as well as extremely interesting and well written.
M: What makes it so good?
W: Well, he took extracts from diaries kept by people involved in the revolution. They re ally give you an idea of how it felt to live in France during that time.
M: It sounds great. Why haven't I heard of it before?
W: Well, it's only just been translated from the French original and none of the professors have added it to their booklists yet. I used the French version and translated passages myself.
M: I see. I have been told that "The French Revolution" by Victoria Jones is useful.
W: I didn't find it very useful. I mean, there was nothing in it that you can't find else where. On the other hand, it's cheap, because it's available in paperback, and you can buy it at many bookshops.
M: What about using resources available on the Internet?
W: I used the Internet for my research, but I didn't find it very helpful. Many of the web sites were too small to contain much detailed information. Others provided links to other websites, but I found myself spending a lot of time following links and not finding much information.
M: Yes, I've run across that problem myself.
W: You could try the new edition of William Wright's book. It has the same title as Victoria Jones' book. It only came out a couple of months ago and I haven't seen a copy yet. A lot of it has been rewritten or consists of additional material recently found in French archives.
M: Thanks for your help. I'll go to the bookshop and see if I can find the books you've recommended.
W: when does your research have to be completed by?
M: Well, the essay is due in six weeks, so I'll try to finish the research in four, giving me two to write the essay.
W: Good luck!
