Part ⅡListening ComprehensionSection ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Now let's begin with the eight short conversations.1．M: I just received an E-mail from one of my former classmates. I was surprised, I hadn’t heard from him for ages.W: Well, I’ve been out of touch with most of my old friends, only one or two still drop me a line occasionally,Q: What does the woman mean?2. M: If you can make up your mind about the color, I can start on the outside of your house early next week.W: Well, right now I think I want white for the window frames and yellow for the walls, but I’ll let you know tomorrow.Q: Who is the woman talking to?3. W: Excuse me, do you have any apartments available for under 500 dollars a month? I need to move in next week when my new job starts.M: The only vacant one I have is 600 dollars, have you inquired at the apartment complex down the street?Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?4. W: You bought a pair of jeans yesterday, didn’t you? What are they like?M: Oh, they are pretty much like my other ones, except with a larger waist. I guess I haven’t spent much time exercising lately.Q: What can we infer from the conversation about the man?5. W: I really like those abstract paintings we saw yesterday. What do you think?M: I guess it’s something I haven’t acquired a taste for yet.Q: What does the man imply?6. W: You haven’t seen a blue notebook, have you? I hope I didn’t leave it in the reading room. M: Did you check that pile of journals you’ve borrowed from the library the other day?Q: What is the man trying to say to the woman?7. M: How about joining me for a cup of coffee?W: I’d love to, but I’m exhausted. I was up till 3 this morning, writing a paper for my literature class.Q: Why does the woman decline the man’s invitation?8. W: You had a job interview yesterday, didn’t you? How did it go?M: Not too bad, I guess. There were about 20 candidates competing for the sales manager’s job. And finally it was down to three of us, but the other two seemed better qualified.Q: What does the man imply?Now you'll hear the two long conversations.Conversation OneW: Simon, how does it feel to be retired?M: Well, not so bad.W: How have you been spending your time?M: I have been spending more time with my family. I’ve also travelled a bit, you know, off season when everywhere is less crowded and hotels cost less.W: Great.M: You know I haven’t stopped work completely.W: Yes, could you tell us more about this?M: I’m on a scheme that’s called phased retirement; I had a six-month break from work, after that I could apply for project work with the company I used to work for.W: How does the scheme work?M: Well, it’s a trial at the moment. Instead of hiring temporary stuff, the company advertises posts on its website that retired employees like myself can access.W: What sort of works advertised?M: Well, all sorts of things, really. Administrative work and more specialized work, the sort of thing I can do. Some of the projects can last five or six months, and others can just be a couple of days. I can decide more or less when to work. So I can manage my own time.W: I can see it’s good for you. What is your company get out of this?M: Well, I still have all my old contacts at work, so I know who to contact to get something done. The company gets flexibility, too. Once the job’s over, that’s it. I’m not on their books any more. Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.9. Why does Simon find his retired life enjoyable?10. How does Simon get to know about the company’s available posts?11. Why does the company adopt the phased retirement scheme?Conversation TwoW: Oh, where are we going?M: I want to show you something.W: I know, but what is it?M: A farm. It’s just down this road. It’s a small place, but at least it would be our own.W: A farm? How can we afford to buy a farm?M: It isn’t very large, only 40 acres. We wouldn’t have to pay very much right now.W: Is there a house on the place?M: A small one, two bedrooms, but it needs to be fixed up a little. I can do the job myself.W: OK. Is there enough space for a kitchen garden?M: There is about half an acre around the house. That’s plenty of space.W: Then we can grow our own fresh vegetables. And maybe keep a few chickens, couldn’t we? M: Yes, and we can probably grow a lot of our own food.W: What are you thinking about growing, if we do take this place?M: Well, it really isn’t big enough for corn.I thought we might try to raise a crop of potatoes. W: Potatoes? There are a lot of work.M: We are used to hard work, aren’t we?W: Yes, we are, but the money. Do we have enough to get started? It seems like a dream.M: I think we’ve saved enough. We can pay a little on the farm and maybe put a few dollars down on the tractor, too.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.12. What are the speakers going to do at the time of the conversation?13. What does the man say about the farm?14. Why does the man intend to grow potatoes rather than corn on the farm?15. What is the woman’s greatest concern about the man’s plan?Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. 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 Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre. Passage OneMembers of the city council and distinguished guests, it is my privilege to introduce to you today Mr. Robert Washington, chief of our city’s police force. He will address us on the subject of the Community Policing Program. Most of you know that Mr. Washington has a distinguished record as head of our police force for more than ten years. However, you may not know that he also holds a master’s degree in criminology and studied abroad for a year with the international police force which deals with crimes around the world. Mr. Washington first introduced the Community Policing Program 8 years ago. The idea behind the program is to get police officers out of their cars and into our neighborhoods where they can talk directly to merchants and residents about the real dynamics of our city. These officers do more than make arrests. They try to find ways to help solve the problems that contribute to crime in the first place. Often that means hooking people up with services offered by other city agencies, such as schools, hospitals, housing, drug treatment centers. And the program seems to be working: crime is down and our citizens report that they feel more secure. Today Mr. Washington is going to tell us more about this program. Now let’s welcome Mr. Robert Washington.Questions 16 to 19 are based on the passage you've just heard.16. What is the purpose of the speaker’s remarks?17. What does the speaker say about Mr. Robert Washington?18. What is the idea behind the Community Policing Program?19. How has the Community Policing Program turned out to be?Passage TwoThere are between 3000 and 6000 public languages in the world, and we must add approximately 6 billion private languages since each one of us necessarily has one. Considering these facts, the possibilities for breakdowns in communication seem infinite in number. However, we do communicate successfully from time to time. And we do learn to speak languages. But learning to speak languages seems to be a very mysterious process. For a long time, people thought that we learned a language only by imitation and association. For example, a baby touches a hot pot and starts to cry. The mother says, “Hot, hot!”And the baby, when it stops crying, imitates the mother and says, “Hot, hot!”However, Noam Chomsky, a famous expert in language, pointed out that although children do learn some words by imitation and association, they also combine words to make meaningful sentences in ways that are unique,unlearned and creative. Because young children can make sentences they have never heard before, Chomsky suggested that human infants are born with the ability to learn language. Chomsky meant that underneath all the differences between public and private languages, there is a universal languagemechanism that makes it possible for us, as infants, to learn any language in the world. This theory explains the potential that human infants have for learning language. But it does not really explain how children come to use language in particular ways.Questions 20 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.20. Why does the speaker say there are great possibilities for communication breakdowns?21. What is Chomsky’s point on the ability to learn a language?22. What does Chomsky’s theory fail to explain according to the speaker?Passage ThreeWhen US spacewoman Joan Higginbotham is not flying and working in space, she might be found somewhere on earth giving a speech. Higginbotham,who grew up in Chicago and became an engineer before joining NASA, that is the National Air and Space Administration, gives about a dozen speeches a year. Each speech is different because she tailors her remarks to each audience. Through interviews and E-mails, she finds out in advance her listeners' educational level and what information they want to know. On the subject of space walks, for example, audiences vary in their interests and how much complexity they can comprehend. To elementary school children, Higginbotham may discuss a problem that many kids want to know about. "How do spacemen in a spacesuit eat, drink, and go to the bathroom?" Her answer is “the spacesuit is really a small spacecraft with room for food and water-containers, and a waste-collection system.”To a high school audience, she might satisfy a curiosity that often arises in her pre-speech interviews with students who obviously have seen many science fiction movies. “Do spacemen carry weapons in case they encounter enemies in space?”Her answer is "No". To scientists, she might provide technical details on such topics as the design of spacesuits that protects spacemen from the deadly temperature extremes of space. Just as elaborate preparation is required for success in space, Higginbotham says that it’s important for speakers to learn as much as possible about their listeners before a speech because every audience is different.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.23. What did Joan Higginbotham do before joining NASA?24. How does Higginbotham prepare her speeches on space walks?25. What does the high school audience want to know about space travel?Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.Now listen to the passage.Crime is increasing worldwide. There is every reason to believe the trend will continue through the next few decades. Crime rates have always been high in multi-cultural industrialized societies such as the United States. But a new phenomenon has appeared on the world scene—rapidly rising crime rates in nations that previously reported few offences. Street crimes such as robbery, rape, murder and auto theft are clearly rising, particularly in Eastern European countries, such as Hungary, and in Western European nations, such as the Untied Kingdom. What is driving this crime explosion? There are no simple answers. Still, there are certain conditions associated with rising crime. Increasing heterogeneity of populations, greater cultural pluralism,higher immigration, democratization of governments, changing national borders, greater economicgrowth and the lack of accepted social ideas of right and wrong. These conditions are increasingly observable around the world. For instance, cultures that were previously isolated and homogenous,such as Japan, Denmark and Greece, are now facing the sort of cultural variety that has been common in America for most of its history. Multiculturalism can be a rewarding, enriching experience, but it can also lead to a clash of values. Heterogeneity in societies will be the rule in the 21st century, and failure to recognize and plan for such diversity can lead to serious crime problems.。

She made a point of telling her fellow crew members about this. Because it was April 1st, April Fool's Day, the day people play tricks on one another,the captain decided to have a little fun.About an hour before landing, he made an announcement that went like this: "Ladiesand Gentlemen, this is the captain speaking. I have a little bit of bad news. There'resome thunderstorms at our destination, and they've currently closed the airport. They expect it to reopen in about 30 minutes to an hour. As one might expect, this willresult in long delays. As we've come all the way from the West Coast, we don't evenhave enough fuel to circle until the airport reopens. Therefore, we are going to be diverting to Cleveland, and we should be landing in about 30 minutes. We'll take some fuel there and get you back on your way to our original d estination. I’m terribly sorry for the delay. However, we’11 get you there just as soon as possible."It was at this moment that you could hear someone running up to the cockpit. The cockpit door flew open, and sure enough it was the lead flight attendant mumbling something like, "This can’t be happening. What shall I do?" As she went on painfully,the captain made another announcement: "Ladies and Gentlemen, happy April Fool'sDay!”Key1.T2.F3.T4.F5.TTask3 what to do for mom?ScriptYoung men and women, tomorrow will be Mother's Day. Some of you are still wondering what to do for your mom. Here's my advice.Look out for anything that she plans to buy, and buy it if you can afford it. For example, a casual dress or formal office wear. Or, it may be a hair clip with a touch of difference. Checked out if she is planning to get a new microwave or a new steam iron, and give it to her if you can afford it.You can get some ideas by considering what her likes and dislikes are. If she likes cats, how about giving her a pet or something that has a cat’s picture on it? But make sure she doesn't find out that you're getting her a present. Let her gift be a pleasant surprise.Definitely spend some time with her, especially if you are not living with her. Makeher feel special. For example, you can cook a special dish for the day. You can also throw a little party and invite those who are close to her.And of course, if she enjoys outings, take a little trip with her. And if possible, takeone with your entire family. She'll love it for sure. After all, she is the one who takes care of all of you. A special trip to the countryside could show her how much you care for her. If she is happy, I'm sure you'll feel happy, too.Key(1)buy(2)office wear(3)likes(4)cats(5)pet(6)time(7)special dish(8)little party(9)little trip(10)countrysideIV.

He's kidding! Wait till he sees w hat his mother cooks: roast turkey with stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, peas and plum pudding for dessert! Susan:(4) We heap up our presents under the tree and open them on Christmas morning.Nora: We open one Christmas Eve, more Christmas morning, and the rest the next day.Susan: Wow! (5) Your family prolongs the celebration for three days!Nora: We start by decorating the tree on Christmas Eve, putting ornaments, lights and artificial snowflakes on it.Susan: Do you hang stockings by the fireplace and have a star on top of the tree? Nora: Yes. And we have another activity. We also "give not expecting to get". Susan: That's a peculiar expression. What do you mean by that?Nora: It's secret giving. We sneak up to the door of somebody we want to give a gift to, ring the doorbell, and run.Susan:So, you're not expecting anything; you're just being generous. That's a kind-hearted gesture.Nora: (6) Isn't that what the true spirit of Christmas is supposed to be?MODEL2 The Pilgrims' spirit of Thanksgiving lives on.ScriptChris: Will Nora be spending Thanksgiving with us this year?Susan: No, she's going home to (1) spend the holiday with her mother and brother.She hasn't seen her family in over a year.Chris: I know how she feels.

Susan:Yeah, they do. I believe the round moon cakes also (4) symbolize a family reunion.Chris: Well, today Thanksgiving in the States has developed into a major holiday. Susan: True, it's a very emotional time. Families often travel great distances (5)to be together and share a huge dinner. Jamie's mother will have a turkey and a ham, corn on the cob, yams, peas and carrots, and to top it all off, pumpkin pie. Chris: (6) Just thinking about all that food makes my mouth water, and I think I'm going to gain 10 pounds this year.Susan: But you have the rest of the year to lose those unwanted pounds. And losing weight will give you something to be thankful for next Thanksgiving.MODEL 3 Don't let ghosts frighten you on HalloweenScriptSusan: Hey Kim! (1) Are you OK? You seem badly shaken.

Kim: Welt, (6) it's a funny kind of holiday. What's it called? Halloween?Susan: Yes, it's one of the oldest holidays in the West. Today it's mostly for children. Kim:I myself would never dress like a ghost and shout, "Tickle your feet."V.

Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: The Wilsons’ ThanksgivingScriptThanksgiving is one of America's most popular holidays. It is a day for expressing thanks for the good things in life. It is also a day for family reunion. On that day many people travel long distances to get together with their families. For many Americans, Thanksgiving is the time when the members of a family gather.But not everyone can spend Thanksgiving with his or her family. Today we'll introduce you to a couple, Joan and Sandy Wilson, who could not afford to take long distances to visit their parents. They regretted not being able to celebrate Thanksgiving with all their family members. But soon they met other people who also were separated from their families. So the Wilsons began holding a yearly Thanksgiving dinner for what they called their "extended family". This included people in their community. All the guests brought food to share for Thanksgiving dinner.The group has grown over the years. To accommodate all the guests, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson now have to add small tables to their large one in the big dining room. At first, many of their friends brought their babies and young children. Now some of the first guests are grandparents.Like other Americans, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson and their visitors enjoy a long day of cooking, eating and talking. The traditional meal usually includes a turkey. Other traditional Thanksgiving foods served with turkey are sweet potatoes, cranberries and pumpkin pies.Question and key1. What is true of a typical Thanksgiving Day?A) It is a day for family reunion.2. Who are included in the "extended family"?D) People in the neighborhood.3. How many generations of people does the Wilson’s party include?C) Three.4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as traditional Thanksgiving food?B) Roast duck.5. What is the passage mainly about?C) A couple who spend Thanksgiving with people other than their family members.Task2 Father’s DayScript and keyFather’s Day is fairly new (S1) celebration Britain compared with Mother’s Day, which has been a (S2) popular festival in the U.K. for a very long time.The origins of celebration are (S3) American, and it was inspired by the actions of a man named William Smart. His wife (S4) died giving birth to their sixth child, so he raised six children alone without (S5) remarrying, which was undoubtedly unusual back in those days.His (S6) daughter, Sonora Dodd, realized when he was an adult what her father sacrificed for his children. It was in the early (S7) 1900s and she was actually in the church one day, listening to a sermon on Monday’ Day. She thought there should be a Father’s Day celebration. So (S8) the tradition was born, on the third Sunday every June, close to the anniversary of Sonora’s father’s death.Britain took the idea of Father’s Day from the American celebration and it has been celebrated officially since the 1970s. What do British people do for Father’s Day? Well, most people buy their fathers a card. (S9) The card probably has a nice message on it saying what a great dad their father is. Some people do buy presents a s well. Popular gifts for dads are probably ties, chocolates, or socks because these are things that dads can always use even if they don’t want them. Some families might do things together to celebrate Father’s Day like going for a meal. As a special treat, (S10) British people might give their dad a bit of a rest-make him a cup of tea, or even wash his car and mow the lawn.Task3 St.Valentine’s StoryScriptLet me introduce myself. My name is Valentine. I lived in Rome during the third century. At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor named Claudius. He wanted to have a big army, and he expected men to volunteer to join. Seeing many men did not want to leave their wives and families, Claudius had a crazy idea. He thought that if men were not married, they would not mind joining the army. So he passed a law to forbid any more marriages. I thought it was preposterous! I certainly wasn't going to support that law!I was a priest, and one of my favorite activities was to marry couples. I kept on performing marriage ceremonies, secretly. One night, we heard footsteps and shoutsof soldiers outside. It was scary! The couple I was marrying escaped in time, but I was caught. I was thrown in jail and told that my punishment was death.Then wonderful things happened. Many young people came to the jail to visit me. They threw flowers and notes up to my window. They wanted me to know that they, too, believed in love.One of these young people was the daughter of the prison guard. Sometimes we would sit and talk for hours. She helped me to keep my spirits up. On the day I was to die, I left my friend a little note thanking her for her friendship and loyalty. I signed, "Love from your Valentine."I believe that note started the custom of exchanging love messages on Valentine's Day.Key1.He thought he was that if men were not married, they would not mind joining thearmy. So he passed a law to forbid any more marriages.2.He kept on performing marriage ceremonies, secretly.3.They came to the jail to visit him. They throw flowers and notes up to his window.4.She was one of those young people and the daughter of the prison guard.5.Before he was killed, Valentine left the girl a little note thanking her for herfriendship and loyalty. He signed, “Love from your Valentine.” That note started the custom.Viewing and speakingA Famous Christmas Market1. Script and keyReceiving Christmas presents is always (1) fun, but buying them can be a (2) headache. This is why many Christmas shoppers around Europe are now going to the German city of Nuremberg to visit its famous Christmas market, Christkindlesmarkt.The 400-year-old market is a child's paradise. Its (3)150 stalls sell all kinds of toys, gifts, and special foods. A staggering (4) two million people visit the market annually.The old city and market add a special (5) feeling to Christmas. As one British tourist, Mivart Thomas, explains, “There's something quite, sort of, medieval about the (6) atmosphere here. There are quite a lot of old stalls—(7) traditional-looking stalls--and the cathedral in the background with (8) lights all around, and just a few minutes ago, the brass band was playing...playing Christmas carols. The whole atmosphere is wonderful."The market maintains its Old World atmosphere with (9) regulations saying what can and can't be sold. Not surprisingly, the focus is on the (10) family. The market's tourist officer, Gerd Lauterbauch, points out that the market's name (11) translates as "Christ child's market", and the idea behind it is to offer presents for (12) children on Christmas.Christmas markets are found in many German cities, but Nuremberg's is the (13) most famous. It gives a very (14) different impression from the one tourists expect, considering the city's Nazi past. And as word of the market (15) spreads around Europe, the market is becoming a tourist center.。

You know, make us lean and mean, the way you have to be in today’s market.Manager: Where do you suggest we start making these staff cuts?Adam:The logical place to start would be in administration. They usually overstaffed.Manager: That’s not going to go over very well with our employees. Some of them have been with the company for years.Adam:It’s painful process, but there’s no choice. They’ll just have to get used to the idea.’re fired. Manager: We can give them a fairly decent severance package when theyAdam:I know.

If we lay off 20 percent of the administrative staff, will that be enough to get the company back on its feet?Adam:Unfortunately not. We’ll also need to make some cuts in the service department.Manager: How can we do that and maintain the level of service that we offer our passengers?Adam: Well, we’ll have to retrain the service staff and streamline our operations, so we won’t need as many people to run things smoothly.Manager: Well, this is serious, but I really don’t think we have any other choice.

He was making one of his regular tours of the factory (S2) when he spotted a young man leaning against a (S3)pile of boxes just outside the foreman’s office. Since George, the foreman, wasn’t around. Stone stood off to the side and watched to see just how ling the young men would stand (S4) around doing nothing.The young man yawned, scratched his head, looked at his watch, and sat on the floor. After ten minutes or so he yawned again and (S5) leaned back on the pile of boxes. Stone stepped from his (S6)hiding place and walked up to the young man. “You!” he yelled, “How much do you make a week?”The young man looked up (S7) indifferently. “Two hundred and fifty dollars,”He said.(S8) Stone rushed into the cashier’s office, took$250 from the cash box, and returned. “Take it,” he said, “and get out! Don’t let me see you around here again!”The young man took the cash, put it in his pocket, and left. (S9) Seeing the young man showed no sign of embarrassment, Stone got furious. Then he went looking for George. When he found him, Stone was red with anger. “That lazy boy in front of your office,”Stone said, “I just gave him a week’s pay and fired him. What’s the matter with you, letting him stand around as though he has nothing to do?”“You mean the kid in the red shirt?” George asked.“Yes! The kid in the red shirt!”George said, “(S10)He was waiting for the 20 dollars we owe him for lunch. He works for the coffee shop around the corner.”Task3: Layoffs can be predicted.ScriptIn some cases companies inform their employees in advance that layoffs are coming. In other cases, they come without warning: You arrive on time for work on a Friday,but you are told not to come next week. Ouch!In either case, you may be able to sense some bad signs in advance. Maybe the company has tried very hard to avoid layoffs; maybe it has been preparing for the worst for quite some time. If you think about the bad omens carefully, you might know as much or more than some of the employees in managerial positions with management responsibilities.For example, if you work in sales, you might know that quotas have not been met. If you work in field engineering, you might notice far fewer customer installations. If your company’s competitors, suppliers or customers are laying off employees, it’s likely your company will too, especially if economic conditions are affecting your industry. Check the layoff statistics from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Search the Net and your local newspaper too for articles concerning layoffs in your industry. Do things like bad sales always mean that layoffs are coming to your company? Not necessarily. Companies have seasonal and economic sales dips all the time, and are always looking for ways to improve their performance. So, if you see only one or two bad signs, don’t jump to a hasty conclusion. But if you see more, especially along the lines of earnings warnings, budget cuts, hiring freezes, restructuring, and massive layoffs in your industry, it might just be time to get your resume up to date and start looking for a new job. Also, it might e a good idea to cancel your vacation, implement money-saving measures, and become more useful on your job. You should prepare in advance if you think you might get the axe soon.1.What is the passage mainly about?2.According to the passage, when can one sense layoffs are coming?3.What is mentioned as a bad sign for the field engineering department?4.According to the passage, what do bad sales signal?5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a sign for you to update yourresume?Keys: 1D 2.C3. B 4.C 5AFor ReferenceYou may get your resume up to date and start looking for a new job.

Speaking OutMODEL 1 We’re going to miss you.Susan: Excuse me, Helen, d o you have a minute to talk?Helen:That question always carries some weigh t, Sue. What’s up?Susan: Well, uh…Here goes…My university wants me to go back to update the university website.Helen: So what? You can go back on the weekend, or in the evening.Susan: But it’s a large project. So I’m afraid I have to terminate my work here before my internship is over. I have to go back next Thursday.Helen: Oh? This is quite a surprise, Sue. I’m sad that you’ll be leaving us. You run this place with clockwork efficiency, you know. We’re going to miss you. Susan: I hope this one-week notice will give you time to hire and train a replacement. Helen: Thanks for the notices, Sue. Assistants like you are one in a million.

What’s more, you use the company phone to talk with your friends for hours.Tom:I know I’ve been late a couple of times; my motorcycle has been breaking down. I’m really sorry. I promise to do better in the future.Helen: I’m afraid it’s too late. Right now, your tardiness is the least of my problems. Tom:What do you mean?Helen: My secretary has proof that you have misappropriated company funds on several occasions. We won’t be prosecuting, but this simply can’t be allowed. Tom:: I didn’t steal any money! Your secretary is lying!Helen: I’m sorry, we have to let you go.Tom:You’re firing me? You are giving me my pink slip?Helen: Exactly. I’m sorry it had to turn out this way. Your termination is effective immediately.MODEL3 I’m the one you’ve been looking for.ScriptHelen: So, Bill, tell me about your last job. What kinds of work did you do?Bill: Market investigation, sales promotion, after-sale services, risk analysis, investment planning –to name just a few.Helen: Why did you leave?Bill:Downsizing. The company wasn’t performing efficiently. It’s been operating at a loss.So the only way out was to lay off redundant employees.Helen:Why do you think our corporation makes a good career move for you?Bill: My experience at the last company is completely transferable to your company, since you deal in the same products.Helen:Go on.even better, your corporation is a well-known multinational, and it’s Bill:What’ｓworking to become an industry leaser. I like that.Helen: And that would be a real boost to your career?Bill:Definitely. My last employer dealt with only small investments. But your company is handling large projects.

But further studies will give me more opportunities to grow professionally.Atkin:Your skills in software development are almost irreplaceable here. Would you stay if I promote you to the department head and give you a raise inpay?Pamela: Thank you very much indeed, and I do appreciate the golden opportunity.But I really need to acquire more knowledge while I’m young. With aMaster’s degree in my hands, I’ll be more competitive in the future.keep you, Pamela. I just want to tell you that I’m sad Atkin:In that case, I won’ｔyou’ll be leaving us. You run this place with clockwork efficiency, you know.We’ll all miss you a lot.Pamela: I hope this one-month notice will give you time to hire and train a replacement.Atkin: Thanks for the notice, Pamela. Assistant like you are rare. I guess we’d better start looking as soon as possible.Pamela: With your approval, I’ll post notice today and interview applicants for you. Atkin: That would be great. Schedule them in as you see fit. Pamela, without you, things here will be different.Pamela: Thank you for your kind words. If you have any problem, please feel free call me.V. Let’s TalkScriptKathy: Well, now that everybody I here, let’s call the meeting to order. Today we have to discuss the operation of our software development department. We’reall aware that nowadays market competition is becoming more intense thanever before. If we want to keep our competitive edge, the only way is to offerexcellent and considerate service to our customer and, at the same time,lower our prices. So, what I’m thinking is, maybe we could outsource thesoftware side of out business to another company. But what impact will ithave on our engineers? I t’s a big problem. Mm, I’d be interested to knowyour thoughts, Warton.Warton: I totally agree with you.Kathy: Could you go into more detail about your opinion?Warton:I think that outsourcing this part of our operation to another company certainly makes a lot sense. Our software engineers ate getting a bit too old,and their technology is a bit out of date. Worse still, their salaries are quitehigh. Many professional software-designing companies are offering betterproducts at lower rates. With outsourcing, we can give some of theengineers the sack.Jennifer: Sorry to interrupt you. Coming from the PR department, I look at this issue from a different perspective. I think we should consider all sides of thisissue before we make a decision.Kathy: Jennifer, I’d be interested t o knot your view too.Jennifer: I think as a large company we should consider not only customers and prices, but also our employees. Our workers have contributed a lot to ourcompany. Some of them even started working here when our companyopened. I hope we can find a solution that won’t require us t o lay off ourloyal and trust employees.Kathy: I’m very much impressed by what you said. We’d better give this issue more careful consideration.Kathy Maybe we could outsource the software side of out business to another company.

Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Problems of JoblessnessScriptJoblessness can lead to a series of problem, and it is not easy to solve them.First of all, being without a job often means lacking social contract wit h fellow employees, and lacking a purpose for many hours of the day,. Also, it obviously affects your ability to pay bills and t o purchase the necessities of life, Lack of this ability is especially serious for those wit family obligations, debts, or medical costs, and it is especially true id in a country like the United States, where the availability ofmedical insurance is often linked to holding a job.Some maintain that jobless people can rely on unemployment insurance, but this is no true. Unemployment insurance in the U.S. typically does not even replace50 percentof the income one received on the job, and one cannot receive it forever. Therefore, the unemployed often end up aping welfare programs such as Food Stamps—or accumulating debt: both formal debt to banks and informal debt to friends and relatives.Some hold that low-income jobs provide solution to joblessness, but this is not true. Since it is difficult or impossible to get unemployment insurance benefits without having worked in the past, job-seekers have to accept low-income jobs. Thus, unemployment insurance keeps a ready supply of low-paid workers. To make things worse, many employers take advantage of this. When they resort to such management techniques as low wages and benefits, as well ad few chances for advancement, they bear the unemployment insurance option in mind.Under increasing unemployment pressure, jobless people suffer from a variety of financial, psychological and social problems. Increase unemployment encourages bad health and raises both crime and suicide rates.1.What is the first problem mentioned concerning joblessness?2.Which of the following is true of American unemployment insurance?3.Why do people accept low-income jobs?4.According to the passage, what problems might unemployment cause?5.Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.D5.ATask 2: Before the cutbackScriptheard of the cutbacks the Barbara: I’ve really got to think about my future. You’vemanagement’s making, right?Alan: Oh, yes. I’ve heard it. But you haven’t anything to be concerned about. Barbara: Around here you never know from one day to the next whether you can keep your job.Alan: Come on, they won’t let you go. You’ve been for so long. Besides, you’re good at your job.Barbara: That might be, but I feel that I’ve reached the glass ceiling in this company. Alan: Glass ceiling? What do you mean by that?Barbara: I’ve been working here for ten years. I haven’ｔgotten a promotion in three years. I thought I should be Vice President by now. If I were a man, I’msure I would be Vice President.Alan: There’s no official company policy, but it’s true that they don’ｔp romote women to management positions here.Barbara: I can see the writing on the wall. I think it’s time to change job, and maybe even careers, if I want to get ahead.Alan: Change career? That’s a big jump. If you change careers, w hat will you do?Barbara: I’m doing market research here, but I studies public relations in college. I’d like to do PR for a large multinational company.Alan: That sounds exciting, and the pay would be better, too. Yeah, if I would keep an eye on the job positing on the Internet.Barbara: Sooner or later something good is bound to turn up in the job market. Keys: TTFFFTask3: Career TransitionsScriptIn July of 2001, my husband, a professional in the information technology consulting industry, lost his job. Despite my experience as a career counselor who had counseled hundreds of people about career changes, when the bad news finally arrived, we were both caught unprepared. Unprepared to tell our children, unprepared for the mix of emotions and most dramatically, unprepared for the sudden loss of routine in our lives. The reality was that thought we both knew well how to find jobs, we had never beenin this awkward unemployment situation together before. I remember watching my husband sitting in our office as he patted his forehead and muttered to himself, “ Now what am I supposed to do?”Being laid-off created a whole new set of questions and challenge. We turned to the bookstore for assistance a nd found lots of books about job search, but not a single book on the day-to-day challenges you face when you get laid-off.Over time we learned what to do. We discovered terrific resources, identified shortcuts, and learned from others going through the same process. I spoke with my colleagues and clients and collected their best tips. Before we knew it, we had gathered enough interesting material for a book on career transitions –the book we needed but couldn’t find last JulyNow we want to share this goldmine of information with you.For Reference1.She had experience as a career counselor who had counseled hundreds of peopleabout career changes.
