　　Conversation 1

　　W: Jack, sit down and listen. This is important. we’ ll have totackle the problems of the exporting step by step. And the firstmove is to get an up-to-date picture of where we stand now.

　　M: Why don’t we just concentrate on expending here at home?

　　W: Of course, we should hold on to our position here. But youmust admit the market here is limited。

　　M: Yes, but it’s safe. The government keeps out foreigners withimport controls. So I must admit I feel sure we could hold our ownagainst foreign bikes。

　　W: I agree. That’s why I am suggesting exporting. Because I feelwe can compete with the best of them。

　　M: What you are really saying is that we’d make more profit byselling bikes abroad, where we have a cost advantage and can chargehigh prices。

　　W: Exactly。

　　M: But, wait a minute. Packaging, shipping, financing, etc. willpush up our cost and we could no better off, maybe worse off。

　　W: OK. Now there are extra cost involved. But if we do it right,they can be built into the price of the bike and we can still becompetitive。

　　M: How sure are you about our chances of success in the foreignmarket?

　　Conversation 2

　　W: What does the term “alternative energy source” mean?

　　M: When we think of energy or fuel for our homes and cars, wethink of petroleum, a fossil fuel processed from oil removed fromthe ground, of which there was a limited supply. But alternativefuels can be many things. Wind, sun and water can all be used tocreate fuel。

　　W: Is it a threat of running out of petroleum real?

　　M: It has taken thousands of years to create the natural storesof petroleum we have now. we are using what is available at a muchfaster rate that it is being produced over time. The realcontroversy surrounding the mass petroleum we have is how much weneed to keep in reserve for future use. Most experts agree that byaround 2025, the petroleum we use will reach a peak. Thenproduction and availability will begin to seriously decline. Thisis not to say there will be no petroleum at this point. But it’llbecome very difficult and therefore expensive to extract。

　　W: Is that the most important reason to develop alternative fueland energy sources?

　　M: The two very clear reasons to do so, one is that whether wehave 60 or 600 years of fossil fuels left, we have to find otherfuel sources eventually. So the sooner we start, the better off wewill be. The other big argument is that when you burn fossil fuels,you release substances trapped into the ground for a long time,which leads to some long-term negative effects, like global warmingand greenhouseeffect.

　　13. What do we usually refer to when we talk about energyaccording to the man?

　　14. What do most experts agree on according to the man?
