Unit 7 section A Woman at the management level

女性管理者

1 When Monica applied for a job as an administrative assistant in 1971, she was asked whether she would rather work for a male or a female attorney. "I immediately said a man," she says. "I felt that a male-boss/female-employee relationship was more natural, needing no personal accommodation whatsoever." But 20 years later, when she was asked the same question, she said, "I was pleasantly surprised that female bosses are much more accessible to their employees; they're much more sensitive and intimate with their employees."

1 当莫妮卡1971年申请一个行政助理的工作时,有人问她想与男律师共事还是与女律师共事。 “我马上说想与男律师共事,”她说。 “我认为男老板和女雇员的关系更自然,丝毫不需互相调整。” 但20年后,有人问她同样的问题时,她说:“令我感到惊喜的是,对员工来说,女上司更容易接近,她们更能理解人,与员工更亲密。”

1 When Monica applied for a job as an administrative assistant in 1971, she was asked whether she would rather work for a male or a female attorney. (Para. 1) Meaning: Monica was asked if she would like to work for a male or a female lawyer when she applied for a managing job at a law firm in 1971.

Sentence structure note: “would rather”句型

1 would rather的意思是“宁愿;宁可;更;最好;还是…为好”,后接动词原形,表示优先选择的一种方式。其否定形式是would rather not do sth., would rather没有人称和数的变化,所有的人称一律用would rather。例如:

If you/he would rather be alone, we’ll all leave here. 如果你/他宁愿独自呆着,那我们会都离开这儿。

2 would rather后接从句时,从句中的谓语动词用一般过去时,表示希望或宁愿某人按某特定的方式做某事,这个结构常常表达的是现在或将来的行为。例如:

I’d rather you didn’t make any comment on the issue for the time being. 我想目前你还是不要对此事发表任何评论。

2 “I felt that a male-boss/female-employee relationship was more natural, needing no personal accommodation whatsoever.” (Para. 1)

Meaning: I felt that there was no need to compromise in a relationship between a male boss and a female employee since it was more natural.

3 But 20 years later, when she was asked the same question, she said, “I was pleasantly surprised that female bosses are much more accessible to their employees; they’re much more sensitive and intimate with their employees.” (Para.

1)

Meaning: However, when she was asked the same question 20 years later, She responded that it was a nice surprise to find out that female bosses had been much easier to approach, more understanding, and closer to their workers.

Meaning beyond words: Her answer was entirely different from what she had responded 20 years before. It can be assumed that she gained this particular feeling gradually.

2 Female bosses today are still finding they face subtle resistance. There is still a segment of the population, both men and, surprisingly, women who report low tolerance for female bosses. The growing presence of female bosses has also provoked two major questions that revolve around styles: Do men and women manage differently, and, if so, is that a good thing?

2 今天的女上司仍然发现,她们面临着不易察觉的阻力。还是有一部分人——有男性,令人惊讶的是还有女性——说很难忍受为女性工作。女上司的不断涌现,也引出了与工作方式有关的两个主要问题:男人和女人管理风格不同吗?如果有不同,是一件好事吗?

4 Female bosses today are still finding they face subtle resistance. (Para. 2)

Meaning beyond words: Female bosses today are still experiencing gender discrimination, though it may not always be obvious or noticeable.

5 There is still a segment of the population, both men and, surprisingly, women who report low tolerance for female bosses. (Para. 2)

Meaning: A portion of people, men and, unexpectedly, even women state that they can hardly bear working with female bosses.

6 The growing presence of female bosses has also provoked two major questions that revolve around styles: Do men and women manage differently, and, if so, is that a good thing? (Para. 2)

Meaning: With the number of female bosses increasing, two questions have been raised in terms of styles: Do men and women work differently? Are the differences good for management if there are any?

3 Monica is disposed to think so, on both counts. Now a 40-year-old mother of four, she is president of a public sector labor union with 45,000 members. "Relations with my employees are probably different from those of male managers preceding me," she says. "I know what it's like to have to call and say my kid got the mumps so I won't be coming in. I have a more flexible style — not soft, just more understanding." The man who is Monica's assistant

agrees, "She tends to delegate more and is always looking for a consensus. People are happy and flourish because they have an input into decisions and they are not mere bystanders; their energies are harnessed. On the other hand, consensus takes longer."

3 莫妮卡对这两个问题都持肯定的意见。莫妮卡现在40岁,有四个孩子,并且是一位拥有45,000名成员的公共部门工会的主席。 “我与员工的关系可能跟在我之前的前任男性主管不同,”她说。 “我知道当有人不得不打电话来说孩子得了腮腺炎而不能来上班是一种什么样的状况。我的风格更灵活,这不是软弱,只是多了一点理解。” 莫妮卡的男助理表示赞成:“她往往放权更多,并总是寻求共识。大家都很开心,也有成就感,因为他们参与了决策,而不是单纯的旁观者。他们的能量得到了利用。当然从另一方面看,通过协商而达成一致意见需要的时间要长一些。”

7 Monica is disposed to think so, on both counts. Now a 40-year-old mother of four, she is president of a public sector labor union with 45,000 members. (Para. 3) Meaning: Monica, a 40-year-old mother of four children and president of a public sector labor union with 45,000 members, is inclined to look at these two points positively: Women do manage differently from men and that is a good thing.

Note: “A public sector labor union” (also public sector trade union) refers to a labor union which primarily represents the interests of employees within public sector (government-owned, supported or regulated) organizations. Public sector unions have become some of the larger or more influential unions in certain areas of the world in recent times as private sector union membership has declined sharply.

8 “Relations with my employees are probably different from those of male managers preceding me,” she says. “I know what it’s like to have to call and say my kid got the mumps so I won’t be coming in. I have a more flexible style — not soft, just more understanding.” (Para. 3)

Meaning: She said that she was perhaps different form the previous male managers in relation with the employees because she knew what it meant when someone had to make a phone call telling her that he or she wouldn’t go to work due to the illness of their child. She added that she was more flexible and understanding but not weaker in terms of working style.

Meaning beyond words: In a broad sense, female bosses are better than male bosses in boss-employee relations because they are more understanding and tend to show more consideration to their employees.

9 The man who is Monica’s assistant agrees, “She tends to delegate more and is always looking for a consensus. People are happy and flourish because they have

an input into decisions and they are not mere bystanders; their energies are harnessed. On the other hand, consensus takes longer.” (Para. 3)

Meaning: The man who is Monica’s assistant holds the same opinion that she usually gives people more rights and is always seeking agreement. Since people have their voice heard in decision-making and are not playing the role of a witness only, they feel happy and successful. In this way, their energies are utilized. However, it takes more time to reach an agreement.

Meaning beyond words: Again, female bosses would seek more accommodation and agreement than male bosses, which helps to bring employees’ initiative into full play.

4 So, are the differences symbolic or real? Plausible studies suggest that men are typically hierarchical, goal-oriented and feel entitled. Women, by contrast, manage diplomatically, and share power. That point of view is often challenged and argued. Some proclaim that men and women of similar backgrounds, experience and aspirations basically manage in the same way. This view is echoed by younger women, especially those who have encountered little gender discrimination. That was certainly the lesson for Nicole. When her father died of a heart attack, she was an employee at a petroleum products export company. She quit and took over her family's 160-acre fruit farm in St.David's County. On her first day in the field, a worker called her "darling". "He was trying to test me. I was shaking with anger," says Nicole, now 34. "I stood erect and said, ‘You wouldn't have called my father darling and you're not going to take that liberty with me. If you do, I'll fire you.'"

4 那么,这种差异是象征性的还是实质性的呢?可靠的研究指出,男人通常有等级观念,以目标为导向,喜欢有权力的感觉。相反,女人则是灵活变通的,愿意分享权力。这一观点往往受到质疑和争论。有人宣称,有类似的背景、经验和抱负的男女,基本上管理方式相同。那些年轻女性,特别是很少遭受性别歧视的女性,也是这样认为的。妮可尔无疑从中得到了教训。当她的父亲因心脏病去世时,她是一家石油产品出口公司的雇员。她辞了职,接管了她家在圣大卫县160英亩的果园。她第一天出现在果园时,一名工人称她为“亲爱的”。 “他是想试探我。我气得发抖,”现年34岁的妮可尔说。 “我挺直腰板站在那里跟他说:‘你不会称我父亲亲爱的,所以你也没有权利这样称呼我。如果你再这样做,我会解雇你。’”

10 So, are the differences symbolic or real? Plausible studies suggest that men are typically hierarchical, goal-oriented and feel entitled. Women, by contrast, manage diplomatically, and share power. (Para. 4)

Meaning: So, the question is whether the differences between male and female

managers are representative or real? According to acceptable studies, men like to seek social status, work for goals and be given authority. On the other hand, women manage with skill and flexibility and like to share authority.

Meaning beyond words: In terms of management skills, this part highlights the differences between male and female bosses. The plausible reasons may possibly be traced to the respective character traits of both sexes.

Note:Goal-oriented is a compound adjective. A goal-oriented person or team works hard to achieve good results in the tasks that they have been given; a goal-oriented plan or activity is based on a number of things that must be achieved. The word oriented means giving a lot of time, effort and attention to one particular thing. It can be combined with different nouns to derive different meanings such as family-oriented and export-oriented.

11 That point of view is often challenged and argued. Some proclaim that men and women of similar backgrounds, experience and aspirations basically manage in the same way. (Para. 4)

Meaning: The real differences between male and female managers often spark arguments. Some people declare that generally speaking, men and women of similar backgrounds, experience and ambitions manage in the same way.

12 This view is echoed by younger women, especially those who have encountered little gender discrimination. That was certainly the lesson for Nicole. (Para. 4) Meaning: This view is agreed upon by young women, especially those who have seldom been treated unfairly. Nicole certainly learned a lesson from her experience.

Meaning beyond words: The implication is that men and women do manage differently. Only young women who have never encountered gender discrimination would assume there is no difference between male and female managers. Nicole’s personal experience would serve as a lesson for young women.

13 When her father died of a heart attack, she was an employee at a petroleum products export company. She quit and took over her family’s 160-acre fruit farm in St. David’s County. (Para. 4)

Meaning: When her father died due to a heart attack, Nicole stopped working for an export company of petroleum products and took control of her father’s 160-acre fruit farm in St. David’s County.

Note: This is also a figurative use of “fighting the fires”, which means “to disperse the strikes”.

14 On her first day in the field, a worker called her “darling”. “He was trying to test me. I was shaking with anger,” says Nicole, now 34. “I stood erect and said, ‘You

wouldn’t have called my father darling and you’re not going to take that liberty with me. If you do, I’ll fire you.’” (Para. 4)

Meaning beyond words: Nicole’s personal story about how one of her workers addressed her on her first day in the field depicts gender discrimination-based disrespect: Men would instinctively think they are superior to women, so the male worker didn’t show the appropriate respect to his boss, Nicole.

5 When women work for women, a different dynamic often takes over. Susan,

a cashier in a Toronto auction house, says that she has explored friendships with some of her female bosses and feels she can rely on them more. While women may feel more at ease with a female boss, men often have to make concessions to the new working styles. Brian, a marine biologist, says, "It took me a couple of years before I felt comfortable enough to relax around a female manager. In fact, my relations with her were much more businesslike."

5 当女性为女上司工作时,往往会用一种不同的工作和交流方式。苏珊是多伦多一家拍卖行的收银员,她说,她与一些女上司建立起了友谊,她感到她们更能够依靠。虽然女性可能会觉得与女上司相处时更自然,男性却往往不得不作出改变以适应女上司新的工作方式。海洋生物学家布赖恩说:“我花了几年时间才能在与女经理共事时感到轻松自如。事实上,之前我与她的关系更多只是一种务实的工作关系。”

15 When women work for women, a different dynamic often takes over. (Para. 5) Meaning beyond words: When women work for their female bosses, they can always see and experience different working and communication styles from those adopted by their male bosses.

Note: Here, “dynamic” means the set of forces that exist in a situation, especially a relationship, and affect how it changes or develops. For example:

There’s a very supportive dynamic between the members of the group. 组员们之间互相支持,互相鼓励。

16 Susan, a cashier in a Toronto auction house, says that she has explored friendships with some of her female bosses and feels she can rely on them more. (Para. 5)

Meaning beyond words: Susan has established friendships with some of her female bosses and feels she can trust them more than male bosses.

17 While women may feel more at ease with a female boss, men often have to make concessions to the new working styles. (Para. 5)

Meaning: Although women feel more comfortable and relaxed with a female boss, men often have to make changes in their behavior to adapt to the different working styles.

Meaning beyond words: The fact that men have to adjust themselves when they have a female boss is probably because of some psychological reason which makes them feel somewhat hard to get along with the opposite sex.

18 Brian, a marine biologist, says, “It took me a couple of years before I felt comfortable enough to relax around a female manager. In fact, my relations with her were much more businesslike.” (Para. 5)

Meaning: Brian, a marine biologist, says that it took him a couple of years before he felt at ease working around a female manager. Anyway, his relations with her were of a business type only.

businesslike: a. effective and practical in the way that you do things 处事务实的;有效率的;讲究实际的

To teach the students good business manners, this activity was handled in a businesslike manner. 为了培养学生良好的商务礼仪,这项活动是以务实的方式进行的。

Note: The word businesslike, as explained above, is different from words like childlike. Similar words for your attention: lifelike (逼真的;栩栩如生的), warlike (好战的;善武的).

6 To some extent, the male-female differences come down to conflicting styles. One female vice-president discussed the time she burst into tears during a meeting. "Men think that tears are a nuclear weapon in a conventional war. They take exception to a woman crying, inferring that she's feeling unhappy or violated." The men failed to understand that what prompted her tears was not hurt but genuine rage. "When we cry, it's because we have all this valid rage that has no appropriate release," she says. "Women cry; men get relief by going on with the offense or by veiling their feelings to appear composed."

6 从某种程度上说,男女之间的差异归根结底是工作方式的冲突。一位女副总裁谈到她在一次会议上忍不住落泪的经历时说:“男人认为女人的眼泪就是常规战争中的核武器。他们对女人的哭泣很不满,认为她们是感觉不愉快或受到了侵犯。” 男人不明白,促使她掉泪的不是因为受到伤害,而是真正的愤怒。 “我们哭泣是因为我们所有这一切合理的愤怒没有适当的地方释放,”她说。“女人通过哭来释放情绪,男人通过继续冒犯或掩盖自己的情绪以显示镇定自若来释放情绪。”

19 To some extent, the male-female differences come down to conflicting styles. (Para. 6)

Meaning: To some degree, the male-female differences in management lie in contradicting working styles.

20 One female vice-president discussed the time she burst into tears during a meeting. “Men think that tears are a nuclear weapon in a conventional war. They

take exception to a woman crying, inferring that she’s feeling unhappy or violated.” (Para. 6)

Meaning: One female vice-president talked about the time when she could not hold back her tears at a meeting. She said that men considered women’s tears just as unfair weapons. They were angry at women who were crying and thought that these women felt unhappy or offended.

21 The men failed to understand that what prompted her tears was not hurt but genuine rage. (Para. 6)

Meaning: The men did not know what made women cry was not being hurt but their anger.

22 “When we cry, it’s because we have all this valid rage that has no appropriate release,” she says. “Women cry; men get relief by going on with the offense or by veiling their feelings to appear composed.”(Para. 6)

Meaning: She says that women cry because they have nowhere to release their reasonable anger. While women cry men seek to release their anger by continuing with their attacks on women or by hiding their feelings to look calm.

Meaning beyond words: This example further contrasts the different working styles between men and women, triggered by their personality traits.

7 Deborah, president of a firm with its headquarters in Toronto, says that even if men do understand, they sometimes react differently to the identical information and to her cooperative management style.

7 德博拉是一家总部在多伦多的公司的总裁,她表示,即使男人明白是怎么回事,有时他们对同样的信息、对她的合作型管理风格也会有不同的反应。

23 Deborah, president of a firm with its headquarters in Toronto, says that even if men do understand, they sometimes react differently to the identical information and to her cooperative management style. (Para. 7)

Meaning: According to Deborah, president of a firm with its main office located in Toronto, even if men do understand why women cry, they sometimes react differently to similar information and to her collaborative style.

8 Deborah says that her authority is sometimes undermined by perceptions about her gender. "It stems from the whole social context of traditional roles for men and women," she says. "Mom would tell you to do things, but perhaps you wouldn't take as much notice as when Dad told you to do things. Men also have a stronger urge to control," she says.

8 德博拉说,她的权威有时因性别观念作祟而受到损害。 “这源于整个社会对男性和女性的传统角色的界定,”她说。 “妈妈会让你做事情,但也许你不会像爸爸让你做事情那样在意。男人也有更强的控制欲。”她说。

24 Deborah says that her authority is sometimes undermined by perceptions about her gender. (Para. 8)

Meaning: According to Deborah, her authority is sometimes weakened by biased opinion of women.

25 “It stems from the whole social context of traditional roles for men and women,” she says. “Mom would tell you to do things, but perhaps you wouldn’t take as much notice as when Dad told you to do things. Men also have a stronger urge to control,” she says. (Para. 8)

Meaning: She says that people’s different reactions toward female bosses and male bosses come from our social background: the traditional roles for men and women. People would pay more attention to what their dad told them to do than what their mom would tell them. Men also have a stronger desire to control.

9 For female bosses, the great expectation of some female employees is one more obstacle. Junior women assume a female boss will promote them more quickly than a man would. But, they also expect female bosses to be more self-sufficient. "They ask, ‘Why can't you scan your own stuff?' or ‘Why can't you do your own filing?'" says one senior female executive.

9 对女上司来说,一些女员工过高的期望是另一个障碍。职位较低的女员工认为女上司会比男上司更迅速地提拔她们。但是,她们也希望女上司能揽下更多的事。一位资深的女主管说:“她们会问,‘为什么你不能自己扫描文件?’或‘为什么你不能自己整理文件?’”

26 For female bosses, the great expectation of some female employees is one more obstacle. Junior women assume a female boss will promote them more quickly than a man would. (Para. 9)

Meaning beyond words: As female bosses manage more diplomatically and often seek consensus, female employees usually expect to get promoted more quickly by women bosses. This is another obstacle for female bosses.

27 But, they also expect female bosses to be more self-sufficient. “They ask, ‘Why can’t you scan your own stuff?’ or ‘Why can’t you do your own filing?’” says one senior female executive. (Para. 9)

Meaning beyond words: Female employees, however, would also expect female bosses to do more by themselves for the purpose that they won’t be bothered. This expectation by

female employees is an act of undermining Deborah’s authority, and it implicitly attests to disrespectful behavior toward her as a boss.

Usage note: scan, skim

scan和skim都可译为“浏览、快读”,都可用作及物和不及物动词,但实际上它们有显著的差别。

1 scan指“查读”,是根据需要快速扫描出相关的细节。scan用于此义时,可用作及物和不及物动词。例如:

She scanned the advertisement pages of the newspapers. 她很快地查读了报纸上的广告页。

I haven't read much into it yet. I've only scanned through it. 我没看多少,只是很快地将它查读了一下。

2 skim与scan不同,是“略读”,指的是跳过文章的具体细节不看,在短时间内迅速掌握文章的主旨和大意。例如:

I only skimmed the headlines of the newspaper every morning. 每天早晨我只是浏览一下报纸的大标题。

I only had time to skim through the script before I flew over here. 我坐飞机来这里之前,只能很快地浏览了一下这个脚本。

比较:

When reading a passage, our English teacher always tells us to skim the passage first in order to get the general idea and then scan the passage again in order to find the specific information. 在阅读文章时,我们的英语老师总是告诉我们先略读文章以获取文章的大意,然后查读以获得所需的具体信息。

10 On the other hand, there is no dispute that a few decades ago they would rarely have had a female boss in the workplace. Nina, a management consultant says she's vaguely optimistic. "I'm looking forward to the day, before I die, when we recognize that the best management styles will be composed of the best that both genders bring to the table ..." Well, she pauses, maybe not before she dies, perhaps in her daughter's lifetime.

10 另一方面,几十年前人们工作的地方几乎不可能有女上司,这一点毫无争议。管理顾问尼娜说自己审慎乐观。 “我期待某一天,在我临死之前,我们会意识到最好的管理风格是由男女双方带来的最佳组合……” 嗯,她停顿了一下,可能不是在她去世之前,也许在她女儿的有生之年会实现吧。

28 On the other hand, there is no dispute that a few decades ago they would rarely have had a female boss in the workplace. (Para. 10)

Meaning: Despite female employees’ too many expectations, one thing that goes beyond

any disagreement is that the condition would not have been in place a few decades ago – they could hardly get a woman as their boss.

Sentence structure note:

“There is dispute that …”结构与“There’s no doubt/need/point that …”结构(B2U2, Text B)属于同一句型,基本用法相同。

29 Nina, a management consultant says she’s vaguely optimistic. “I’m looking forward to the day, before I die, when we recognize that the best management styles will be composed of the best that both genders bring to the table …” Well, she pauses, maybe not before she dies, perhaps in her daughter’s lifetime. (Para.

10)

Meaning beyond words: Nina, a management adviser says she’s kind of optimistic that someday, before she dies, people will understand the best management styles come from the combination of the best provided by of both genders. However, she gives the hint that maybe this day won’t come soon; perhaps it will happen in her daughter’s lifetime.

Unit 4 Section A The surprising purpose of travel 令人惊奇的旅行目的 1 It's 4:15 in the morning, and my alarm clock has just stolen away a lovely dream. I almost return back to sleep before my eye catches my packed suitcase and I groan, remembering that I'm going to the airport. The taxi is late and then lost, and I'm getting increasingly nervous that I'll miss my flight. I run in when we arrive, stagger through security and finally get to my gate. After all the trouble of this morning, my flight is canceled and I'm stuck in this terminal for the next 218 minutes, and my only consolation is a cup of complimentary airport coffee. This is traveling, a burdensome series of running and waiting, and after countless hours, finally getting there. 1 早晨四点一刻,闹钟把我从美梦中惊醒,要不是突然看见早已收拾好的行李箱,我几乎又要睡着。想起来还要去机场,我叹了口气。出租车来晚了,并且在途中迷了路,我越来越担心会赶不上飞机。出租车一到机场我就冲进去,跌跌撞撞通过安检处,终于,我来到了登机口。经历这一早所有的麻烦事,我乘坐的航班却被取消了。在接下来的218 分钟里,我被困在了机场,唯一觉得安慰的是机场提供的一杯免费咖啡。这就是旅行,让人心烦的跑跑停停。最终,在不知经过多少小时之后,终于到达要去的地方。 1 It's 4:15 in the morning, and my alarm clock has just stolen away a lovely dream. (Para. 1) Meaning: It's 4:15 in the morning and my alarm clock has just woken me up from a lovely dream. Note: In Paragraph 1, present tenses are used to describe a scene which is not actually happening and to make the imaginary scene seem more immediate and more real. 2 I run in when we arrive, stagger through security and finally get to my gate. (Para. 1) Meaning: I run in after we arrive, walk unsteadily through security and get to the place where I should get on the plane. Note: The word gate here means "the place at the airport where people get on a plane". 3 … I'm stuck in this terminal for the next 218 minutes, and my only consolation is a cup of complimentary airport coffee. (Para. 1) Meaning: … I am trapped in this ter minal for the next 218 minutes and my only comfort is a free cup of coffee offered by the airport. Note: The author used 218 minutes instead of 3 hours and 38 minutes in order to emphasize the trouble of waiting for a long time. 4 This is traveling, a burdensome series of running and waiting, and after countless hours, finally getting there. (Para. 1) Meaning: Traveling means we have to spend countless hours running and waiting before we finally get to the destination, which is quite troublesome. 2 Why do we travel? I don't mind the actual flying, the wonder of being airborne in a dense metal bird. The rest of the journey, however, can feel like a tedious lesson in the ills of modernity, from the predawn x‐ray screening to the sad airport malls selling clusters of keepsakes. It's the result of a globalized world, and it sucks. 2 我们为什么要旅行?其实,我并不介意飞行本身,在这样一个密实的金属大鸟中飞行,让我感到很奇妙。然而,旅程其余的部分,从一大早X 光检查到出售大堆纪念品的糟糕的机场商场,感觉就像是关于现代社会弊病的乏味课程。这是全球化的结果,它糟糕透了。 5 I don't mind the actual flying, the wonder of being airborne in a dense metal bird. (Para. 2) Meaning: I don't mind the flying itself as it is a great wonder that the plane, like a heavy metal bird, can fly in the sky.

I’m calling to cancel his appointment with you at 10 today as he is not feeling well. M: Thanks for calling. It’s quite all right. We’ll arrange some other time to meet. Q: What is the man going to do? Conversation 2 M: I need to use more than just my math skills for these questions but I don’t have a calculator. Shall I go and buy o ne? W: Actually, I’ve got two. And I’ll let you have one for the price of a coffee. Q: What do we learn about the woman from this conversation? Conversation 3 M: Professor Smith, I’d like to have your advice as to my career development in the future. W: I t’s my pleasure. I think you are good at abstract thinking. I am sure you’ll make it if you pursue your graduate work in theoretical physics. Q: What does the woman advice the man to do? Conversation 4 W: I can’t believe Ken missed such an important lectu re even though I reminded him the day before yesterday. M: You should know him better by now. He’s known for taking everything in one ear and straight out the other. Q: What does the man imply? Conversation 5 W: I hear you’re working as a market surveyor this summer.

But as a third-year engineering student, I don’t want to risk lowering my grade point average by scoring poorly in a writing cl ass! M: OK … What’s worrying you? W: I spent two weeks reading Great Expectations, and then it took me 10 hours to write the three-page essay. Well, engineering courses are easy but important, as we know. But a writing course … I don’t know. I’ll just take a film class next semester, not hard at all – a two-paragraph review for each film. That will cover my humanities requirements. M: OK Stacey, listen: In college, I was the opposite. Math was hard; literature was easy. But later, when I opened my coffee shop, The Found Librarian, located on the 15th street, math helped me!
