英语听力教程(第2册)Unit 5 听力原文
Unit 5 听力原文 Part I B Man: I suppose my career’s a bit unusual because I went to university when I was twenty-five — a lot later than most people go. When I left school, I went straight out to work: I worked as a clerk in a small office. My father criticized me, I remember, for not going on studying while I had the chance, but I wanted to earn myself some money. Anyway, that job didn’t last long because I had to go into the army when I was twenty. I stayed in for five years. I don’t know what good my university course did because I’m unemployed now. Oh, I know I got a job when I finished my university course — I was twenty-nine then — but it didn’t last long. Well, I never really thought I would enjoy teaching very much. So, as I say, I’m unemployed now and looking for something else. C Interviewer: Sergio. Thank you for agreeing to this interview. How old are you? Sergio: Um, I’m fifty-one. Interviewer: and what is your profession? Sergio: I’m an accountant. Interviewer: Are you married? Sergio: Yes, I’m married. Interviewer: Does your wife work? Sergio: Yes, luckily. She’s a teacher. Interviewer: Could you tell me about your last job? Who did you work for? Sergio: Um. I worked for a chemical company near Milan. Interviewer: How long did you work there? Sergio: Um, for fourteen years. Interviewer: How did you lose your job? Sergio: The company was taken over by a Swedish firm and I was made redundant. Interviewer: So, how long have you been unemployed? Sergio: Um, for about 6 months. Interviewer: So, Sergio. It must be difficult being unemployed at your age. Sergio: Of course. Many people don’t want to employ someone over fifty. Interviewer: So how do you spend your days? Sergio: I get the newspaper every day and look at the job advertisements. When I see something interesting I apply. Interviewer: Any luck so far? Sergio: Yes, I was offered something last month, but the job was not very interesting. Interviewer: Do you meet other unemployed people? Sergio:Not really. Um, I prefer to stay at home and work on my PC. I’m also studying psychology. Interviewer: That’s an interesting idea. What else do you do? Sergio: I have lunch with my former colleagues about once a month. They often hear about jobs and so on. They often have useful information. Interviewer: Have you registered with a recruitment agency? Sergio: No, I haven’t. I think they already have too many people on their books.

Selina ... Selinar：Thanks, John. I have with me Eric, who's just flown in with Virgin Atlantic from the USA. Eric：That's right. I've just come back from New York. Selinar：Is it as dangerous as they say? Eric：No, New York isn't dangerous, no more than any other big city, especially if you're careful and don't advertise the fact that you're a tourist. Selinar：And is it true what they say about New Yorkers, that they're rude, and that they only care about themselves?
Eric：Well, I found the people were very friendly. However, they do have a reputation for not caring about other people. I think the reason for this is that life in New York is incredibly stressful. People just don't have the time to think about anybody else. It isn't that they don't care. Selinar：Is there anything else you noticed about New Yorkers? Eric：Two things I had heard about before I went to New York did seem to be true, though. First is that they are always talking about money and how much things cost. Secondly, it's that people eat all the time as they go about their daily lives, you know they "graze on the hoof" as they walk about the streets.

Tom: So which do you think is better Ann: Actually, I prefer private schools because of the smaller classes and ... usually you have a wider choice of subjects. Tom: Yeah, I suppose that’s true. Ann: And then there are usually better sports facilities. For example, the school I went to had a swimming pool and a huge gym. Tom: Yeah ... well, the public high school I went to had great sports facilities. Besides, private schools are really expensive. Ann: Yeah, but I think they’re worth it. Tom: I don’t know. I think you have to judge every school individually, whether it’s public or private.

At 9 o’clock, he was at the main entrance with a crowd of hundreds of other students. All of them seem to know what to do except Steve. Then he found a notice. There was a meeting for all the first-year students. He found them all waiting in the large hall. First, the director of the Polytechnic welcomed them. Then the head of students’services, and finally the head of physical education. Head of physical education: I’m here to tell you about the sport you can do at the Poly. Here in Edington, we have a fitness room where you can do exercises to keep fit, and weekly you can do all sorts of sports, such as tennis, football, hockey and badminton. But there are also many other activities. You can go sailing. You can go down-caves. You can go climbing and many more. We hope all of you will take part in at least one of these. If you want to join, come on weekly on Wednesday afternoon. Any questions A student: What about swimming Head of physical education: We don’t have our own pool.
