听力原文： W: Professor Jones, you're well-known in town as a professor of mathematics at the City College. We're writing about what professional people do in their spare time for our paper. May I ask you a few questions about your favorite hobby? M: Sure. I love discussing my hobby with people. I'm a coin collector. W: How long have you been collecting coins? M: Since I was 12 years old. My uncle gave me a book with spaces to put coins into. W: How did your interest grow? M: I filled that book and continued to look at the coins that passed through my hands, searching for rare and old ones. W: Where do you find the coins for your collection? M: Sometimes in my pocket change, but usually I buy them from other collectors or trade for others. W: What does your collection consist of now? M: I have over 5 000 valuable coins which have doubled in value. W: You seem very business-like in your hobby. M: Well, do you think so? But my hobby is mainly based on interest. W: Thank you for the answers, Professor Jones. I think people will like to read about your hobby.
