听力原文: During World War II, Great Britain and the United States tried to deal with the problem of an international agreement on money. The two countries tried to set up a formal system which everyone would use to exchange money between countries. The system they set up is usually called the Bretton Woods System. The system got this name from the town in New Hampshire in the United States where the international agreement was signed. The Bretton Woods agreement was signed in 1944. When it was signed, it seemed to be a good system.
The Bretton Woods agreement had two main parts. The first part concerned exchange rates. All of the countries that signed the agreement promised to regulate their exchange rates. The countries promised not to change their exchange rates too often. This was a very important part of the agreement. It helped to stabilize the international finance system. The second part of the Bretton Woods agreement concerned a currency fund. The fund was supposed to help countries that needed currency. All the countries contributed some of their currency to the fund. They could borrow the necessary currency from the fund. This helped all of the member countries to do business with each other. This second part of the agreement was called the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Almost every new innovation goes through three phases. When
initially introducing into the market, the process of adoption is slow. S1.______
The early models are expensive and hard to use, and perhaps even unsafe.
The economic impact is relatively great. S2.______
The second phase is the explosive one, where the innovation was S3.______
rapidly adopted by a large number of people. It gets cheaper and easier
to use and becomes something familiar. And then in the third stage, diffusion
of the innovation slows down again, as if it permeates out across the S4.______
economy. During the explosive phase, the whole new industries
spring up to produce the new product or innovation, but to service it. S5.______
For example, during the 1920s, there was a dramatic acceleration in auto
production, from 1.9 million in 1920 to 4.5 million in 1929. This boom was
accompanying by all sorts of other essential activities necessary for S6.______
auto-based nation: Roads had to be built for the cars to run on; refineries and S7.______
oil wells, to provide the gasoline; and garages, to repair it. Historically, the S8.______
same pattern is repeated again and again with innovations. The construction
of the electrical system requested an enormous early investment in generation S9.______
and distribution capacity. The introduction of the radio was followed by a buying
spree(无节制的狂热行为) by Americans what quickly brought radios into S10.______
almost half of all households by 1930, up from nearly none in 1924.

By the end of the war, in August, 1945, more than 100,000 children were being cared【C16】______ in day care centers receiving Federal【C17】______ . Soon afterward, the Federal government【C18】______ cut down its expenditures for this purpose and later【C19】______ them, causing a sharp drop in the number of nursery schools in operation. However, the expectation that most employed mothers would leave their【C20】______ at the end of the war was only partly fulfilled.
