听力原文:M:Hello, Mrs. Chris, may I come in? W:Ah,come in Tom.Your report is interesting.There are a couple of things I'd like to check with you.You mentioned several countries you'd like to visit,Czechoslovakia again,Hungary,Romania,Singapore,the Gulf States. My first question:What's the priority? M:Well,they're all potentially important.My feeling is that we should act fast.(19)I think a follow-up visit to Czechoslovakia is the priority. W:OK.Next question.When do you want to go there? M:I've got a lot of deskwork to finish off here.(20)I'd like to go towards the end of the month. W:If we send you there,would you like to go to other eastern countries on the same trip? M:Yes,certainly.Hungary and preferably Romania as well. W:Why are you so keen on Romania? What's going on there? M:(21)I've heard that medical facilities are being expanded quite fast.Of course I'd have to do a good deal of market research. W: Um, who would be our biggest competitors in Hungary and Roman a? M: Surprisingly most of the stuff is in Albania. The Americans have got their feet in but only in a small way. W: Another question. What will happen to our eastern countries business, if the pound got stronger? M: It will have serious effect on exports, of course. But I don't think we can miss this chance just because of that. W: Then is the question of attitude. Media Papa seems very tough. Would they really have cancelled the order if we hadn't delivered on time? M: It's hard to say. They are very tough, so maybe yes. (22)That's why I want to go there again and strengthen our personal contacts. (23)
