A: Good morning, Carol. I’m so pleased to meet you. First, I would love to know how you became a jeweler.

C: I went to college to study Art for three years, then I decided to make jewellery so I had to study for three more years.

A: And then what did you do?

C: For a few hours a week, I taught adults to make jewellery. I also worked in a jeweler’s shop in Bond Street, London.

A: Bond Street! That is full of very expensive shops! The Beckhams go shopping there! Can you tell me what you enjoy about your job?

C: I am a very creative person. I never find it difficult to think of new designs for my work! But making jewellery is a lonely job so I enjoy meeting people in my shop, too. At any time, I am making about 6 pieces of jewellery so I am never bored!

A: This is very interesting! Please tell me more about your design work.

C: I make some jewellery to sell in my shop so there is always plenty for people to choose from. But most of all I enjoy designing jewellery for customers who want something individual. I listen to what they want but sometimes people cannot explain very well. As I am talking to them, a design comes into my mind. And you can see that my workshop is here in the shop and people like to see me making their jewellery. Shall I tell you about my very special customer? She is the daughter of Queen Elizabeth, Princess Anne! I was asked to make her wedding ring!

A: That must have been so exciting! I wish I were a princess so you could design some jewellery for me! As soon as I have enough money, I will visit you again!

D. Listen to the passage and complete the following sentences (听短文，完成下列内容，每空格限填一词):

Shopping online is easier than actually going to a store and saves your time. However, it’s not always that easy. Sometimes, you may have a few problems.

Xu Zijiao, 21, a student at Sichuan University, often buys clothes on Taobao. “The colours might be different. And since you can’t feel the clothes, the quality might be bad,” Xu said.

Many people had similar experiences to Xu – buying something that isn’t as good as the advertisements suggest, or going into a store for a special offer but still paying a lot. What would you do? Guangzhou daily reported that according to a research, 60 percent consumers would give up without fighting for their rights.

March 15 is World Consumer Rights Day. According to consumer protection laws in China, consumers have nine rights, including the right to guaranteed safety, truthful information, free choice and respect.

How can we fight for our consumer rights? Here are some tips:
1. Learn some of the differences between real and fake goods.

  2. Check the label and read the information carefully before you buy something.

  3. Get a receipt for all your goods and services.

  4. If you find there’s any problem with your goods, talk to the seller first, and try to get your money back or get an exchange. If you can’t reach an agreement, call 12315 or go to your local consumers association for help.
