One of our main argument is that we in Western countries actually 【M1】______
have a part to play in causing the problems of the Third World. Many Third
World countries are saddle by immense debt burdens, for example. They 【M2】______
lent money at low interest rates in the 1970s, when money flooded into 【M3】______
Western banks from the oil-producing countries and was lent out to the
Third World. The interest rates have then been risen dramatically. So you 【M4】______
have a situation where a country in many cases can' t even repay the interest
, let alone the capital, on the debt. And I suppose the best example
from that I' ye come across is a country, in West Africa where the consumption 【M5】______
, the local consumption of peanuts was banned, because peanuts, if
they' re imported can bring in a great deal of foreign income. The peanut 【M6】______
is a major source of protein in this country. So you had people go hungry as 【M7】______
a result of that. The peanuts were exported to Great Britain and the United
States to feed our cattle. Those cattle then produced a surplus of milk
which we don't know what to do with. We have enough milk, more milk

听力原文： Many people dislike walking into the bank standing in long lines and running out of checks. They're dissatisfied with the bank's limited hours too. They want to do some banking at night and on weekends. For such people, their problems may soon be over. Before long, they may be able to do their banking from the comfort of their own home any hour of the day, any day of the week. Many banks preparing online branches or internet offices, which means that people will be able to take care of much of their banking business through their home computers. This process is called interactive banking. On these online branches, customers will be able to view all their accounts, move money between their cards. Customers will also be able to pay their bills electronically and even email questions to the bank. Banks are creating online services for several reasons. One reason is that banks must compete for customers who will switch to another bank if they are dissatisfied with the service they receive. The convenience of online banking appeals to the kind of customer banks most want to keep, that is people who are young, welleducated and bare good incomes, Banks also want to take advantage of modem technology since they have moved into the 21st century.

D. The financial crisis sustains in America.
The restrictive laws that the courts are interpreting are mainly a legacy of the bank failures of the 1930s. The current high rate -- higher than at any time since the Great Depression -- has made legislators afraid to remove the restrictions. While legislative timidity is understandable, it is also mistaken. One reason so many American banks are getting into trouble is precisely that the old restrictions make it hard for them to build a domestic base large and strong enough to support their activities in today's telecommunicating round-the-clock, around-the-world financial markets. In trying to escape from these restrictions, banks are taking enormous, and what should be unnecessary, risks. For example, would a large bank be buying small, failed savings banks at inflated prices if federal law and states' regulations permitted that bank to expand through the acquisition of financially healthy banks in the region7 Of course not. The solution is clear American banks will be sounder when they are not geographically limited. The House of Representative's banking committee has shown part of the way forward by recommending common-sensible, though limited, legislation for a five-year transition to nationwide banking. This would give regional banks time to group together to form. counterweights to the big money-center banks. Without this breathing space the big money-legislation should be regarded as only a way station on the road towards a complete examination of American's suitable banking legislation.
The author’s attitude towards the current banking laws is best described as one of _______.
A．concerned dissatisfaction
B．tolerant disapproval
C．uncaring indifference
D．great admiration
The restrictive laws that the courts are interpreting are mainly a legacy(遗赠物) of the bank failures of the 1930's. The current high rate of bank failure--higher than at any time since the Great Depression--has made legislators 'afraid to remove the restrictions. While their legislative timidity is understandable, it is also mistaken. One reason so many American banks are getting into trouble is precisely that the old restrictions make it hard for them to build a domestic base large and strong enough to support their activities in today's telecommunicating round-the-clock, around-the-world financial markets.
In trying to escape from these restrictions, banks are taking enormous, and what should be unnecessary, risks. For instance, would a large bank be buying small, failed savings banks at inflated prices if federal law and states regulations permitted that bank to explain instead through the acquisition of financially healthy banks in the region？ Of coupe not. The solution is clear. American banks will be sounder when they are not geographically limited.
The house of Representative's banking committee has shown part of the way forward by recommending common-sensible, though limited, legislation for a five-year transition to nationwide banking. This would give regional banks time to group together to form. counterweights to the big moneycenter banks. Without this breathing space the big money-center banks might soon extend across the country to develop. But any such legislation should be regarded as only a way station on the road towards a complete examination of American's suitable banking legislation.

听力原文： A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy. Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a home, so they have to borrow money from a bank. Borrowing money from a bank to buy a house is called taking a mortgage. The hank usually lends money or gives a mortgage for 25 years. This means that the person who borrows has 25 years to pay back the money. The bank lends this money with interest, and the borrower makes equal monthly payments to the hank until he has paid the mortgage. Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as $50,000. In other words, they will have a $50,000 mortgage.
How can you get a mortgage？ When you find a house you like, you go to a bank, sometimes it is necessary to go to a few banks, before applying for a mortgage at once. The bank will investigate your financial history and decide if they think you axe a good risk. They will want to know what kind of job you have. In addition, the banks will require a down payment. Depending on which state you live in, the bank may require as much as 30% of the price of the house as a down payment. The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house. Many people are never able to buy a house because they cannot save enough money for the down payment.
