You should spend time with your family and take care of your myriad of daily chores.At work, it's not enough to be qualified for your job.

Contacts between home and the day care center or schoolare another priority. You have to keep up your friendships and your family relationships. You have to have empathy for everyone around you. You have to have time.How do we catch a guilty conscience? Finns in business asked family counselor Hannu Kuukka from the Helsinki parishservices. "A bad **es from conflicting pressures, from the feeling that you just can't manage everything that you consider important. Frustration and stress are the result. ""Our internalized roles--the role models that we subconsciously follow--also contribute to the problem. Throughout our lives, we carry with us the part we played in our own family. This can be a source of encouragement and support, or the seeds of a bad conscience. "What can we do for a bad conscience? "Our failures tend to become exaggerated in our minds, especially if someone close to usverbalizes them. You have to set priority. Couples should decide together if one of them is going to concentrate on work and the other on family. The couple is the foundation of the home, so they have to **mon ground," comments Hannu Kuukka.At work, you spend your time with adults, and you can excel in your own field. Are you **fortable at work than at home? This is a common feeling--and another source of guilt. "It is not unusual for relationships at work to be easier and more straightforward than those at home. The everyday life of a family with children can be exhausting. And today, with **petition and more friction at work, even these relationships have become more difficult," says Kuukka.Questions :SSS_SINGLE_SEL45.The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______.A itemize what people have to accomplish in their livesB brief a real but tough situation for couples to cope withC explain why some people long for a break of routineD show how a full-time job goes against a family lifeSSS_SINGLE_SEL46.According to the author, the decisive factor for one to perform well at work is ______.A responsibility and devotionB right qualificationsC originality and open-mindednessD an IQ at least above 130SSS_SINGLE_SEL47.What seems always problematic for one's family life is that ______.A money never seems to be enoughB friendships and family relationships are hard to keep upC one simply can't afford the timeD it's impossible to share feelings with everyone aroundSSS_SINGLE_SEL48.As suggested by Kuukka, the right way to approach the problem is to ______.A exchange role models between the couple in the same boatB look at the same problem from a different perspectiveC turn a deaf ear to whatever other people would sayD get the couple's priorities right to ensure a rewarding lifeSSS_SINGLE_SEL49.From the last paragraph, it can be safely inferred that ______.A work relationships are as difficult to keep up as family relationshipsB working parents usually feel **fortable at work than at homeC **petition has affected the otherwise good terms with co-workersD the best moment of the day is when you might have escaped from family choresSection BThere is one passage in this section with five unfinished statements. Read the passage carefully, and **plete each statementin a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet. Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.The taipan is an aggressive hunter, moving at speed through grasslands with ease. On finding its prey by scent, the reptileflings itself at the victim and inflicts several rapid bites. Like most other venomous snakes, the taipan uses its venom sparingly. As they don't regard man as prey, they have been known to strike andbite without releasing any venom at all, leading to no adverse effects.Although the taipan is the deadliest Australian snake, few snakes can match the sinister reputation of the eastern tiger snake (notechis scutatis). However, recent observations indicate that their ferocity and aggressiveness are not as bad as once thought and that actually they are fairly timid. There are different types of tiger snakes found in Australia but they are all highly poisonous and should be avoided. Until recently tiger snakes held the record for the most snakebite fatalities (now overtaken by the eastern brown snake).The body of the tiger snake has cross bands of yellow or cream on a background of grey, green or brown and this is what gives them their name. They have a heavy, build and can grow up to 1.8 metres. In the wild they are mainly a swamp dwelling species and are often found around waterways. Their habitat is now threatened by the clearing of such areas for development. They have been known, though, to climb into surrounding vegetation to a height of about 1 metre. They mainly feed on frogs and mice as adults, but will take the odd bird or lizard.Another highly dangerous Australian snake is the copperhead(austrelaps superbus). Although it is non-aggressive, if provoked it raises its forebody from the ground and flattens its neck, angry and hissing, ready to strike. Like all other Australian poisonous snakes it is an elapid, which means it has neurotoxic venom. This venom mainly attacks the nerves of the body, but it also contains blood destroying properties. The poison from elapids is generally very dangerous to humans and the copperhead is no exception having very potent venom.Pythons are also found in Australia, the carpet python (morlelia spilota) being the **mon. There are several different types of carpet python in Australia. They are widespread and can be found in avariety of habitat from wet tropics to dry, nearly, arid desert. They can be found in variable colours but usually have lighter blotches on a darker background. Carpet pythons are also bigger than most Australian snakes and can grow up to a length of almost 4 metres.The carpet python is largely nocturnal and preys mainly on mammals, birds and reptiles. Non-venomous, pythons bite into their prey and, when the prey struggles, it only sinks further onto the fangs. Next, the python coils around the animal to squeeze its breath out or, in some cases, to constrict its muscles and cause the main blood vessels to burst.One of the easiest snakes to identify in Australia is the bandy bandy ( vermicelli annulata). This is a distinctly marked elapid snake with black and white bands around it. It is found in 80% of mainland Australia. The bandy bandy averages about 60cm in length but can grow up to 80cm. It is found in all types of habitat from rainforest to swamps to deserts. It is usually found during the day under cover or on a mild night moving around the ground. The bandy bandy is a crepuscular or after-dark hunter though it seldom feeds due to its low metabolic rate. Unlike many of its cousins in Australia, it only feeds on blind snakes.Being an elapid, the bandy bandy is definitely a poisonous snake and looks alarmingly dangerous as it resembles the Malay krait and, when threatened, will flatten its body and raise its body in an aggressive manner. However, the markings and behaviour are a bluff and its venom is only mild and virtually harmless to humans.SSS_FILL50.A bite from a taipan ______ to humans.SSS_FILL51.Tiger snakes got their name from their ______.SSS_FILL52.Elapid snakes are always ______.SSS_FILL53.Copperhead snake poison is ______ to humans.SSS_FILL54.The bandy bandy is definitely a poisonous snake and looks alarmingly dangerous but virtually it's ______ to humans.Section CThis section consists of one passage followed by five questions. Read the passage carefully, and then answer each of the questions in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Biological Pest ControlBiological control is, generally, human's use of a specially chosen living organism to control a particular pest. This chosen organism might be a predator, parasite, or disease which will attack the harmful insect. It is a form of manipulating nature to increase a desired effect. A complete Biological Control program may range from choosing a pesticide which will be least harmful to beneficial insects, to raising and releasing one insect to have it attack another, almost like a "living insecticide".Biological control methods can be used as part of an overall Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program to reduce the legal, environmental, and public safety hazards of chemicals. In addition, it may be a more economical alternative to some insecticides. Some biological control measures can actually prevent economic damage to agricultural crops. Unlike most insecticides, biological controls are often very specific for a particular pest. Other helpful insects, animals, or people can go completely unaffected or disturbed by their use. There is less danger of impact on the environment and waterquality.Biological control takes more intensive management and planning. It can take more time, require more record keeping, more patience, and sometimes more education or training. Successful use ofbiological control requires a greater understanding of the biology of both the pest and its enemies. Many natural enemies are very susceptible to pesticides, and using them successfully in an IPM program takes great care. In some cases, biological control may be more costly than pesticides. Often, the results of using biological control are not as dramatic or quick as the results of pesticide use. Most natural enemies attack only specific types of insects--unlike broad-spectrum insecticides, which may kill a wide range of insects. Though often an advantage, this can also be a disadvantage.Biological control uses naturally occurring predators, parasites and diseases to control pests. There are three main ways to use these natural enemies against unwanted insect pest populations. Classical Biological Control (importation) involves traveling to the country or area from which a newly introduced pest originated and returning with some of the natural enemies that attacked it and kept it from being a pest there. New pests are constantly arriving accidentally or intentionally. Sometimes they survive. When **e, their enemies are left behind. If they become a pest, introducing some of their natural enemies can be an important way to reduce the amount of harm they can do. Augmentation is a method of increasing the population of anatural enemy which attacks a pest. This can be done by mass producing a pest in a laboratory and releasing it into the field at the proper time. Another method of augmentation is breeding a better natural enemy which can attack or find its prey more effectively. Mass rearings can be released at special times when the pest is most susceptible and natural enemies are not yet present, or they can be released in such large numbers that few pests go untouched by their enemies. The augmentation method relies upon continual human management and does not provide a permanent solution unlike the importation or conservation approaches may. Conservation of natural enemies is an important part in any biological control effort. This involves identifying any factors that limit the effectiveness of a particular natural enemy and changing them to help the beneficial species. Conservation of natural enemies involves either reducing factors which interfere with the natural enemies or providing needed resources that help natural enemies.In addition to the introduction of predators, several microbial pathogens are effective against nematodes. They consist of a microorganism (e. g. a bacterium, fungus, virus or protozoan) as the active ingredient. They can control many different kinds of pests,although each separate active ingredient is relatively specific for its target pest(s). For example, there are fungi that control certain weeds, and other fungi that kill specific insects. The most widely used microbial pesticides are subspecies and strains of Bacillus thuringiensis, or BT. Each strain of this bacterium produces a different mix of proteins, and specifically kills one or a fewrelated species of insect larvae. While some BTs control moth larvae found on plants, other BTs are specific for larvae of flies and mosquitoes. The target insect species are determined by whether the particular BT produces a protein that can bind to a larval gut receptor, thereby causing the insect larvae to starve./Questions :SSS_TEXT_QUSTI55.What is commonly used in Biological Control program in addition to some specially chosen pesticides?SSS_TEXT_QUSTI56.In Augmentation, what is the key to kill pests?SSS_TEXT_QUSTI57.What is used by BT to kill insects?SSS_TEXT_QUSTI58.What is the animal called that another plant or animal, such as a wasp, lives on or in as a parasite in the passage?SSS_TEXT_QUSTI59.What is the only recipe of the weevil?Section DThis section consists of one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully **plete the summary below by choosing no more than three words front the passage for each blank Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Taking a page from science fiction, engineers at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, in California, are developing small robot "buddies" that could tag along with astronauts and act as personal assistants.Developers envision little round robots about the size of grapefruit that are propelled by tiny fans through the weightlessness of a space station or shuttle. Hovering over the astronauts' shoulders and responding to **mands, the devices, equipped with cameras, speaker, microphones and a variety of sensors, could serve as additional sets of eyes, ears and noses for the crew in space and the support staff on the ground, engineers say.As an astronaut works on an experiment with both hands in a glove box, for instance, the mechanical assistant could serve as a communications link with a researcher watching from Earth.The devices also could patrol the corridors of the space station, checking for gas leaks, smoke and unusual bacterial growth, or remind astronauts about the next tasks on their daily to do lists or of the need to send a birthday message to a loved one at home.Yuri Gawdiak, the principal engineer on the project, said the idea of the personal satellite assistant, or PSA, came to him after an experiment between the American space shuttle Atlantis and the Russian Mir space station in 1996. That mission showed that laptop and **puters could use radio signals to exchange information on a wireless network without interfering with other electronic systems aboard the spacecraft.Afterward, astronauts told engineers that they wanted wireless palmtops, or even smaller portable data assistants, that could record and monitor data like the fictional tricorder devices popularized by the television series "Star Trek," Mr. Gawdiak said. "I took it a step further when I noticed that crews on missions left equipment to float around when they got busy," he said. "I thought they would like a device that would always face them when floating, perhaps something stabilized by gyroscopes.He said the idea evolved further when he saw astronauts on a shuttle mission demonstrate toys in weightlessness during an educational program. Small wind-up toys hopped and flew around the cabin with startling speed and ease, he said, spurring ideas ofpractical mobile devices."Then I saw 'Star Wars' and there was a scene in the movie when the characters used a remote robot object--a fast moving ball--to practise with their light sabers, "he said. "And that gave me more ideas. "The device, as now envisioned, is a ball about five inches( 12.5 centimeters) in diameter that is studded with sensors for rangefinders, motion detectors and position trackers to keep it from running into things or getting lost. The battery-powered PSA could move in any direction using six tiny enclosed propeller fans and have a flat-screen video panel on one side to display data."This is small enough to be unobtrusive, and big enough to hold the technology that will be available in the next couple of years to do the job," Mr. Gawdiak said.It would be impossible for each PSA to carry **puting power and instruments for all the things people suggest these helpers could do, which is where the wireless data **es into play.The robots would operate from a base station that would contain **puters for analy-sing sensor data, running speech-recognition and voice-synthesizer software, **munications and tracking the devices.The station also would contain docking ports for recharging the PSA's batteries and a variety of sensors that could be snapped onto the robots, depending on tasks assigned to them.Engineers at **pleted a crucial test of the robots' components this month by mounting them on a hover plate and guiding them around a test table on a cushion of air. And the team has receivedfinancing to develop a prototype."We hope to launch a personal satellite assistant in about two years aboard a space shuttle and in about three years aboard the International Space Station, "Mr. Gawdiak said.The space station, a $ 60 billion project involving 17 countries, will eventually house up to seven astronaut-researchers. Developers would like to use at least three PSAs on the station to demonstrate the technology, allowing the devices to work in formation to zero in on environmental problems.Summary :Grapefruit-sized robots may serve as personal assistants for astronauts. This idea came to Yuri Gawdiak after an experiment between (61) astronauts. Scientists envision that the small robots shall perform tasks that range from patrolling to reminding astronauts to send a birthday message. The robots, or (62) is powered by battery and (63) by tiny fans. Equippedwith (64) , it can move with ease and shall not run into things. Since these robots cannot carry all the necessary instruments,。

He described the loss as ‘monumental' and ‘preventable', with extractive industries, such as oil and gas, among the worst hit.Question: Approximately how much was lost each year as a result of corruption?12. The University Boat Race is a uniquely British institution but it's taken on a distinctly international character. It dates back to 1829 and is now broadcast on television in more than a hundred countries. And of the sixteen rowers in the two boats, only five were British this year. It was the first time a French rower had taken part for at least a century. There were also four Americans, three Germans, two Canadians and an Australian.Question: How many British students joined the University Boat Race?13. In Romania, to the east, and Slovakia and the Czech Republic, to the north, populations in low-lying areas have been put on alert. In the Czech Republic, several people have died, and anti-flood barriers on the river Vltava have been raised. Czech officials have declared a state of emergency in several areas, and in the historic city of Olomouc, 250 kilometers east of Prague, thousands of people had to be evacuated.Question:In which country have several people died because of the flood?14. I was so touched by the way the people in London took to that animal and cheered it on. I just feel bitterly disappointed that we couldn't give them the result that they wanted. I feel that perhaps we got the result, hopefully, that the whale needed, and that's probably more important.Question: What animal was the man talking about?15. Steven Spielberg's ‘Munich' and Ang Lee's ‘Brokeback Mountain' are likely to be the big winners at the Oscar ceremony in five weeks' time. Spielberg's highly controversial drama about the 1972 Olympic massacre, and what happened after it, is one of the five nominations for Best Picture. Some have speculated opposition to the movie and its theme might harm its Oscar chances, but that hasn't happened. Spielberg's also nominated as Best Director.Question:Who won the nomination as Best Director according to the speaker?16. Ukrainian politicians claim there are political motives behind the price rise originally demanded by the Russian energy giant Gazprom.

Russian officials insist it's a purely commercial matter.Question: Which countries are having talks over gas prices? 17. Britain's Labour government is having a difficult week. The government wants to ban smoking in indoor public places, including restaurants and other places of entertainment. This is partly because it wants to discourage people from smoking, since smoking causes so much illness, but also to protect the health of the staff who work there, and who got no choice about breathing in second hand smoke.Question: What does the British government want to do?18. A crowd of some 35,000, including U.S. First Lady Laura Bush and Italian film legend Sophia Loren, filled the Olympic Stadium. More than 4,700 performers, including fast-moving skaters with fiery rocket packs, dancers and even dancing cows opened the festivities. Some 2,600 athletes from more than 80 countries and territories marched into the stadium accompanied by American pop music from the 1970s and 1980s.Question: How many performers joined the Winter Olympics opening ceremony?19. Governments from Singapore to South Korea are increasingly lifting restrictions on gambling. But gamblers do not have to wait for new casinosto open to place their bets: they can just use their mobile phones. Europe is the largest market for mobile gambling, but telecommunications analysts predict that Asia will catch up soon.Question: What is the passage mainly talking about?20. The United States National Weather Service says that this huge winter storm has dumped some 68.3 centimetres of snow in Central Park, making it the worst blizzard to hit New York City since records began in 1869. To add to the problems facing the entire north-eastern seaboard, winds across the region have been gusting at up to 96 kilometres an hour, causing serious localised drifting.Question: Which part of the United States was attacked by snowstorm?Section DDirections:In this section, you will hear 2 passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear 4 or 6questions. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneI have four small children, three girls and one boy. I don't go out very much because it's hard for me to find someone to look after them.Any time I do go out, I have to find a baby sitter. It's not easy for me to find a baby sitter because we have just moved here. Since we're new in town, I don't know very many people yet.Well, one Friday morning I looked in my purse and found that I had only two dollars left. I still had to do that week's grocery shopping. There was nothing else I could do; I had to go to the bank. I hoped that Rachel, my next-door neighbor, could come and baby-sit for me, but she wasn't home. So after the children were all dressed, off we went to the bank.After we'd all got into the car, I tried to relax a little as I drove to the bank. The children were very noisy from the start. They were yelling and crying and picking on each other. By the time we arrived at the bank, I was very angry.The bank was very crowded. I don't think I'd ever seen so many people there at once. I think, since it was the end of the month, it was payday for most people.Anyway, the children were still acting up, and I was still pretty angry with them. I turned around to try to keep them quiet and shouted, “Stand against the wall and don't say a word!” Everyone in the whole bank stopped talking. They thought it was a hold-up.Questions 21 to 24 are based on the psssage you have just heard.21. Why was it hard for the woman to find a baby sitter?22. Why couldn't Rachel, her next-door neighbor, baby-sit for her?23. How did the woman feel when she arrived at the bank?24. What happened when the woman shouted at her children?Passage TwoYou will hear an announcement about what's on television tomorrow. Man: And that's the weather forecast. And now we know what the weather's going to be like, let's have a look at what we've got for you tomorrow on TV31. Most of the morning is taken up with children's television. As it's Saturday, we've got programmes for children from the under fives to teenagers. We start the day at 7:00 with cartoons and programmes for the very young. These go on until 9:00 when we have a film specially made for television called ‘The Railway Princess'. It was first shown about six months ago and we've had lots of requests to show it again. The film is based on Jenny Johnson's best-selling children's book. Then from 10:30 until 12:00, we continue with a magazine programme for 5 to 12 year-olds. There's something for everyone - animals, art, sport, the countryside. At lunchtime, from 12:00 till 2:00, we have something for teenagers - ‘Here and Now' - our music programme with all the latest groups and singers, and the results of last week's competition.After lunch there's half an hour of news and that's followed at 2:30 by sport. This afternoon you can watch the match between Brazil andIreland, the winner of that match will go on to play Italy or Spain in the final next week.Football is followed at 4 o'clock by tennis. We'll be watching part of the Macmillan Tennis Tournament. If the tennis is cancelled because of rain we'll be going over early to Japan to see some of the skiing. Let's hope Angus Burns has recovered from yesterday's fall. At 5 o'clock we'll be bringing you the end of the Round Britain Cycle Race.At 6 o'clock it's time for our new quiz programme ‘Your guess is as good as mine' with Nigel Parsons. Each team is shown pictures of people who were in the news in one particular year, or important things that happened in that year. The teams guess when that was.That's followed by more news and at 7:00 it's time for our Saturday evening film ‘I Could Live Forever', a sad story with a happy ending. You'll recognize the songs, made famous by the film and sung by Julia Jones. And of course there's some wonderful dancing.Questions 25 to 30 are based on the psssage you have just heard.25. During which period is The Railway Princess on television?26. When is there a music programme for teenagers?27. Which two teams can you see in the football match?28. If the weather is bad, which sport will be cancelled?29. What do the teams have to guess in the quiz programme?30. What kind of film is I Could Live Forever?。

在全国大学生英语竞赛听力对话部分中,能够从对话原文中直接找到答案的题目所占比重较小,而那些要求参赛学生对对话内容进行深刻的逻辑思维,从而判断出对话人的意图、态度或意见要求的题所占比重较大。
(2)对话内容涉及面广
无论是长对话还是短对话,话题基本以衣、食、住、行等日常生活为主。
(3)对话的方式多为一问一答
在短对话听力测试中,对话的方式多为问答式,首先由第一个人提出一个问题,再由第
二个人予以回答。
或者由第一个人陈述一个观点,第二个人表示附和或反对。
问答的回合数一般不会超过三个。
2. 解题攻略
短对话作为听力理解部分中较为简单的一类题型,有其特定的解题技巧。
(1)提前快速浏览题目及选项,把握听音重点
考生应充分利用试卷发下到Directions播完的这段时间,迅速浏览试卷上这部分所给的选项,这样在听的时候就能有的放矢地捕捉关键信息,弄清对话环境和意图,最后排除各干扰项,做出正确选择。
例1:[2014年A类决赛]
How has the company been affected by the change?
A. Lots of its factories have stopped running.
B. Many workers have been forced to retire early.
C. It is going to close down soon.
D. Very few workers will be forced to resign.
【听音重点】题干问公司由于变化受到了什么影响,根据选项中出现的关键词factories,workers,close down,可以猜出公司由于变化出现了危机,要么是在工厂运行方面的,要么是在员工方面的,并且注意B、D选项均是根据workers设置的选项,注意二者的区分。
听录音时应重点注意关于factories,company和workers的描述。
【录音原文】
W: How has the takeover affected the company?
M: A plant in Manila and another in Dubai will be closed down. About 300
people are going to lose their jobs. But most of them will be offered jobs in other plants and quite a few want to take early retirement.
W: So there are no compulsory redundancies?
M: Very few.
例2: [2012年A类初赛]
Why is the woman in a good mood?
A. The copier worked and she got the copies.
B. She kicked the copier and now feels better.
C. She had the copier fixed in time.
【听音重点】由题干中的woman以及选项中的copier,可知女士心情好是和copier 有关,因此在听音时要注意女士是如何表述和copier相关的内容的。
【录音原文】
W: This stupid thing keeps getting jammed. I can’t get it to make any copies.
M: So it makes sense you’re in such a good humor.
W: I gave it a good kick and feel better.
(2)注意捕捉说话人的弦外之音
对话部分有很多问题都不是针对讲话人的字面意思发问的,考生必须体会到讲话人的言外之意,才能推断出正确选项。
例1: [2007年A类初赛]
A. Excited.
B. Annoyed.
C. Worried.
【录音原文】
A: Look, it’s already 8 o’clock, and Tom said he’d be here by 7.
B: Yes, but you know what the traffic is like at this time of the day.
A: He said he’d make a special effort not to be late. Why does he always do this?
B: Take it easy. There’s probably a reasonable explanation.
A: You mean he’ll give us one of his typical excuses? Well, I’ve had enough of it already.
Q: How does the woman feel about Tom’s being late?
【解析】根据录音中的关键词“always”及“had enough of”,可推测出女士对于Tom 迟到这件事很生气。
(3)熟练掌握有关日常生活等方面的词语、习语、句型等
熟悉日常生活中常用的词汇、短语、习语、句型,能使考生听到相关对话时迅速做出反应,提高答题效率和正确率。
例:[2012年A类决赛]
How often does the man play cricket?
A. Seldom.
B. Frequently.
C. Never.
【录音原文】
M: I got a backache from playing cricket.
W: I didn’t know you played cricket.
M: Well, once in a blue moon.
【解析】在回答这个问题时,男士说到once in a blue moon(极为罕见,千载难逢),可知他很少玩板球。
如果知道这个习语,就不难选出正确答案。
3. 题型分析
听力短对话试题类型多样,这里主要介绍常涉及的七种题型及针对各题型的答题技巧。
(1)地点与方向(Location and Direction)
地点与方向类试题在对话中经常出现。
这类题目根据对话内容,就有关地点提问,要求考生从给出的选项中选出正确答案。
这些地点包括对话进行的地点、对话涉及的事件的地点、涉及的人物的地点或人物来自哪里及要去的地点。
考题类型:
①直接型。
地点在对话中会直接出现,但提到的地点通常不止一个,考生需要对其进行辨认、选择。
A类比赛中直接型出题比较少。
例:[2008年A类样题]
A. At a bank.
B. At a department store.
C. At a lawyer’s office.
【录音原文】
