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

Interviewer: You mean you’ve been studying?
Christine: Oh no, I’ve been doing a job to earn money.
Interviewer: And have you made your fortune yet?
Christine: Hardly! But I haven’t done too badly. I’ve been getting about ￡70 a week, plus my meals and my accommodation, so I’ve earned over ￡ 500 and
I’ve managed to save most of it.
Interviewer:That sounds pretty good. What kind of work have you been doing exactly? Christine: I’ve been working in a hotel.

afternoons off I’ve been doing quite a bit of sunbathing and swimming. Interviewer:Yes, I can see you’ve got quite brown. You’ve obviously been having some reasonable weather here. Now what about Kevin here? Kevin, you’ve managed to get a fantastic suntan. How have you been spending your time here?
Have you been doing a holiday job?
Kevin: Yes, I’ve been working down on the beach. I like an outdoor job. I’ve been mostly hiring out deck chairs — you know, going round collecting the money, but I’ve also been selling papers.
Interviewer: And have you earned a lot of money?
Kevin: Not a lot. I came here for a cheap holiday more than anything else. My brother’s the one who’s been making money this summer.
Interviewer: Has he been working here in Brighton too?
Kevin:No, he’s in Italy working as a courier for a travel firm. He’s been taking Americans round Italy on coach tours and having a fantastic time. And one of them has invited him to go and work in America next summer.
Interviewer: Lucky him!

My Idea of Hell:
1st speaker: I think my idea of hell would be, to be, to have a job where I had to do the same thing over and over again like somebody working in a factory just picking up one thing from one place and putting it into another and this just going on and on, day in and day out, if it was that kind of job I would just go mad...
2nd speaker: Well, I think the thing I would least like to do given an option of anything in the world would be to be the guy who sits in a nuclear power station watching for it to start melting down, you know, the guys who sit there in front of those, that’s just you know it’s a revolting thing anyway but can you imagine the boredom and the responsibility at the same time, it would just be completely terrible, I’d hate that.
3rd speaker:I think, I think the job I ... I don’t actually think I would be capable of doing it is to be work as the killing person in an abattoir. (I don’t actually think I would be capable of doing it: to work as the killing person in an abattoir.) I think that would be my, my, er, it’s self-explanatory why
I couldn’t do it. I th...I can’t imagine how people actually do it. I met
somebody once who erm was one of the people that went into erm er a chicken battery and they’d spend all night they were only working night shift and just kill chickens and and I just couldn’t comprehend how they managed to do that and how they stayed sane. That would be the worst thing. I think it’d be torture in more ways than one...
My Idea of Heaven:
1st speaker: On the other hand it would be wonderful to have a job where you are paid a lot of money and you could travel to different countries —someone like
a television reporter or an archaeologist or an anthropologist. I mean those
are the exciting kinds of jobs I’d like to have ... I can’t pinpoint one but it has to be a job where I can travel and see different countries and have time to actually stay in those countries and learn a little about those countries and visit exciting places.
2nd speaker:What would I like to do? Well I guess probably the best job in the world would be to play for the New York Mets. You can’t beat that... you just can’t beat that... third baseman for the New Youk Mets. The Mets? Oh they’re a baseball team... best baseball team in the world.
3rd speaker: To choose another sort of job that I would really like. I would very much like to be a photographer, erm because it would give me an opportunity to work with people but at the same time be independent still and that’s the thing that I always need. I need to be independent, be able to work on my own and be amongst other people, very much like you, I think, that I have to have other contact but like to get on with wha... with my own thing.
Part Ⅳ
1st speaker: …er …well, we don’t actually open till 9:30… er…I mean I have to be there at 8:45 because there’s lots to do beforehand. Um…I think what
I like about it is I like meeting…meeting people, or rather dealing with people,
because we’re really stuck behind that glass thing. Um... we used to have microphones and used them to speak to people, but they decided it was too impersonal so they changed it back. Um...you know, I like dealing with people like I said, it’s surprising, you know how varied the work is really. Well,
a lot of it is routine, of course, but there’s still something unexpected every
day. You never know who’s going to walk in and come up to your... er ... position.
Er... yeah, I do like handling money and I like the responsibility and the feeling that the customers trust you because you are dealing with their money and their livelihood. Er... but what I don’t like is the way people can be rude or angry about little things that aren’t my fault. It’s usually because they’ve made a mistake themselves and they aren’t prepared to admit it. I mean it’s up to them to check if they’ve got enough to cover a cheque if they write it, isn’t it really?
2nd speaker: well, every day is different. I mean, some days I spend hours on end meeting with clients, trying to find out exactly what they want or I try to persuade them that our ideas will work. Now, you see, we’re very rarely given
a free hand by clients. A lot of time, well yes, a lot of time is spent on research.
You see, we have to do all the viewing and ...and the readership figures. We do our own surveys to find out what a cross-section of people think. Of course it’s not just what they think. I mean, people can say "Yes, that’s great.
I...I found it really amusing and so on", but what counts is: Does it sell the
goods? Now, if we don’t show a rise in sales then we lose a client, it’s as simple as that. Still, what I enjoy most is really the creative side. Now, ideas, you know, they come to you everywhere at the most unexpected times. In fact, the best idea I ever had came to me when I was in the bath and I just jumped straight out, I got on the phone to the client. You know, I was... usually we...
we have what we call brainstorming sessions in the office, so the best ideas are usually the result of teamwork. That’s what makes a good agency-a team of individuals who can work both alone and together. It takes a special sort of person. Now, the biggest drawback of the work is that you stand or fall by results. If your ideas are drying up of if you make an expensive mistake, then you get the sack. There’s always that hanging over you —it’s always worrying.
Part V
David:Hi, you’re listening to Radio Southwest. The best in the Southwest from music along to the minute news. Sue is here. Hello, Sue.
Sue: Hello, David.
David:And we’ve got a job spot for you today, so if you are unemployed and looking for a new job, this could be a spot for you. So let’s have a look and see what we’ve got today. How about a hairdresser? You must be experienced for this job and the pay will be agreed. So that will depend on experience. The hours are 8:30 to 5 Monday to Friday, and Saturday 8:45 to 1 . So that’s hours 8:30 to 5 Monday to Friday, and Saturday 8:45 to 1 . a hairdresser. How about you
Sue? What have you got?
Sue: Right, David. Well, the first one we’ve got is a cook. That’s in a large busy restaurant. So it’s very useful to have experience in large scale cooking.
The age is around 25 or so and pays 2 pounds an hour. So that’s not bad, isn’t it? (Mum) The hours are good, too. That’s Monday to Friday 3 to 6:30. David: Great. Thanks Sue. So that’s a cook. Now how do you fancy working out of doors? How do you fancy being a gardener? There is no age restrictions on this job. So as long as you’re fit and strong, any age and it’ll suit you. If you are keen on gardening, this could be a great job. The pay is 1 pound 70 an hour, and the hours: Tuesday to Saturday 8:30 to 5. Sunday you have to work once a month. But the bonus is on Monday. The garden centre’s closed. Now the third work you would be doing is a general assistant in a garden centre. Potting, watering, things like that. So if you’ve got green fingers, how about applying for that pay 1 pound 70 an hour? Sue, what else have you got?
Sue:Right, David. From outdoors to indoors, we’ve got a short-hand typist job here.
That’s in an office. And this job may suit a woman with school-age children.
Because the hours are only 15 hours a week. The age is twenty to fortyish and the pay depends on the age. It’s a small friendly office, but there is experience of course. The accuracy is more important than the experience. So they go. That’s a nice short-hand typist job in an office.
David: Great. Here is a job possibly to somebody who is a school leaver. It says: requires no experience at all but training will be given on the job. And pay is 67 pounds a week. What’s the job? Hm, it’s a shop assistant in a busy supermarket. It’s a full time job, but the big thing is you don’t need any experience. So if you’re just leaving school, and fancy working in the supermarket, try that. You get one day off during a week and you must work one late evening to 9:30 . OK, that’s a shop assistant. Well, if you fancy any of those jobs, give us a ring here on job spot at Radio Southwest and now back to the music.

Unit 1-Conversation 1**（1）Janet: So this is the Cherwell Boathouse — it's lovely! And look at those people punting! It looks quite easy. Mark: I'm not so sure about that! Janet, there's something Kate and I wanted to discuss with you. Some people in college are organizing charity events this term. We've decided to get involved. Janet: Raising money for charity Right. In China, people raise money for charity but students don't usually do that. Mark: Students often do that here. Anyway, we're thinking of doing sponsored punting. Janet: Sponsored punting! What's that Kate: Sponsoring is when people pay you to do something — like run a long distance. So people would be sponsoring students to punt. Janet: What a great idea! I'd love to join you! Mark: That's why we're telling you about it. So that's decided then. Let's make a list of things we need to do. Kate: I'll do that. One of the first things we should do is choose the charity. Mark: Yes. And choose a day for the event. And we need to design the sponsorship form. I've got one here. Kate: That looks fine, but we must change the wording. Who wants to do that Mark: I'll do that. What have we got so far Kate: Choose a charity. Also a day for the event. Change the wording on the sponsorship form... Um ...

Working One possible version: V olunteer spirit is rooted in the hearts of many people, especially young people in China. In recent years, there have been large numbers of volunteers devoting their time and effort to people in need. The picture shows us a touching moment when two volunteers help a disabled man in a wheelchair. Realizing it would be impossible for the man to get to the top all by himself, the volunteers carry the wheelchair with difficulty step by step up the stairs. This picture reminds me of many volunteers in my school, my community and our country, helping not just the disabled, but also those who can’t find their way around, or those who suffer from misfortune. V olunteers make a difference to these people when they bring them warmth, comfort and relief. I would be happy to be a volunteer, too, and help the senior citizens in the House for the Aged regularly so that they will not feel lonely but enjoy their life to the full. 听力材料： Text 1 W: Bob, you are reading this book?

lesson 09 PADI Instructor training Become a PADI professional today Train in the tropical Florida https://www.doczj.com/doc/c510415826.html, Catherine has just left school and she wants to find a job. She and her mother have come to speak to the Careers Advisory Officer. Listen to their conversation. Officer: Oh, come in, take a seat. I'm the Careers Officer. You're Cathy, aren't you? Mother: That's right. This is Catherine Hunt, and I'm her mother. Officer: How do you do, Mrs Hunt. Hello, Catherine. Cathy: Hello. Pleased to meet you. Officer: And you'd like some advice about choosing a career? Mother: Yes, she would. Wouldn't you, Catherine? Cathy: Yes, Please. Officer: Well, just let me ask a few questions to begin with. How old are you, Catherine? Mother: She's nineteen. Well, she's almost nineteen. She'll be nineteen next month. Officer: And what qualifications have you got? Mother: Well, qualifications from school of course. Very good results she got. And she's got certificates for ballet and for playing the piano. Officer: Is that what you're interested in, Catherine, dancing and music? Cathy: Well ... Mother: Ever since she was a little girl she's been very keen on her music and dancing. She ought to be a music teacher or something. She's quite willing to train for a few more years to get the right job, aren't you, Catherine? Cathy: Well, if it's a good idea. Mother: There you are, you see. She's good girl really. A bit lazy and disorganized sometimes, but she's very bright. I'm sure the Careers Officer will have lots of jobs for you. Officer: Well, I'm afraid it's not as easy as that. There are many young people these days who can't find the job they want. Mother: I told you so, Catherine. I told you shouldn't wear that dress. You have to look smart to get a job these days. Officer: I think she looks very nice. Mrs. Hunt, will you come into the other office for a moment and look at some of the information we have there. I'm sure you'd like to see how we can help young people. Mother: Yes, I'd love to. Mind you, I think Catherine would be a very nice teacher. She could work with young children. She'd like that. Or she could be a vet. She's always looking after sick animals. Officer: I'm afraid there's a lot of competition. You need very good results to be a vet. This way, Mrs. Hunt. Just wait a minute, Catherine. * * * Officer: There are just one or two more things, Catherine. Cathy: Do call me Cathy. Officer: OK, Cathy. Are you really interested in being a vet? Cathy: Not really. Anyway, I'm not bright enough. I'm reasonably intelligent, but I'm not brilliant. I'm afraid my mother is a bit over-optimistic. Officer: Yes, I guessed that. She's a bit overpowering, isn't she, your mum? Cathy: A bit. But she's very kind. Officer: I'm sure she is. So, you're interested in ballet and music, are you? Cathy: Not really. My mother sent me to lessons when I was six, so I'm quite good, I suppose. But I don't think I want to do that for the rest of my life, especially music. It's so lonely. Officer: What do you enjoy doing? Cathy: Well, I like playing tennis, and swimming. Oh, I went to France with the school choir last year. I really enjoyed that. And I like talking to people. But I suppose you mean real interests—things that would help me to get a job?
Unit 6-Conversation 1 Janet: What are you reading, Kate Kate:Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Do you know it Janet: I've heard of it, yes, but I've never read it. It's a 19th century children's story, isn't it K a te: That's right. It's very famous. It's set in Oxford. It starts with this young girl sitting on a river bank. The interesting thing is, the author, Lewis Carroll, he was an Oxford professor and he used to have tea with the girl's family on this river bank. Ja net: Oh, that's fascinating! I'll put it into my diary. Kate: Is that what you're writing I know you've been keeping a diary all the year. Janet: It's been a great year. I've had such a good time — so lucky to have Mark and Kate as friends. Feel I've been doing well with work. Much happier about asking questions in tutorials. Janet: My screen's gone dark. Mark: You're using the battery, remember. It's run out, obviously. Janet: It can't be the battery. It's still charged. Oh no it's still black. Oh dear, I hope it's nothing serious. I haven't backed anything up recently. Kate: That's not like you, Janet. Janet:I know, but I lost my memory stick. I really should have backed things up. How stupid of me not to do that! Supposing I've lost everything! Mark: Let me take a look. The power is still on. And also the operating system still seems to be working ... I think it has to be the graphics card ... But maybe that's not the problem ... Janet: If only I'd backed things up! Kate: Relax, Janet! We'll take it to the computer shop this afternoon. I'm sure it'll be OK. Janet: I hope so. Unit 6-Conversation 2 Janet: Tell me about Alice in Wonderland. Kate: I tell you what, I'll read it to you. Kate: Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: Once or twice, she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversation" So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) ... Janet: Kate, Mark, where are you going You've got my laptop! Kate: It's all right, Janet, we're taking it to the computer shop. We'll be back soon. Mark: It's not like Janet to forget to back up her work. Kate: She should have been more careful. Janet: It was stupid of me, I know! Stupid, stupid! Janet: Oh! It was a dream! What a relief! Kate: You were talking in your sleep. Janet: What was I saying Kate: "Stupid, stupid." M ark: I've sorted out your computer. Janet: Have you Oh, thank goodness! What was the problem Mark:It was the graphics card, as I predicted ... Janet: Is that what it was! I'm so relieved! Thanks, Mark. Kate: He's great, isn't he Janet: Yes. So are you, Kate. Kate: You're such a good friend. Unit 6-Outside view Computers are a very important part of our lives. They tell us about delays to transport. They drive trains, analyze evidence and control buildings. Did you know that 60 per cent of homes in Britain have got a PC (a personal computer) For many young people, playing computer games is their favorite way of spending spare time. Computers are a very important part of most areas of life in Britain-libraries, the police and in school. But they are becoming more important in our homes as well. They’ll even control the way we live-in “smart homes” or computer-controlled houses. The smart home is now a real possibility. It will become very common. A central computer will adjust the temperature, act as a burglar alarm and switch on lights, ready for you to come back home. And of course you will be able to give new instructions to the computer from your mobile phone. So if your plans change, your home will react to match. Many homes have got lots of televisions and several computers. The smart home will provide TV and Internet sockets in every room, so you’ll be able to do what you want whenever you want. If the temperature outside changes, the smart home will adjust the temperature levels inside. The computer will also close the blinds when it gets dark or to stop so much sun from entering a room. And if you want to eat when you get home, the computer will turn the oven on for you! Are computers taking over our lives In a survey, 44 per cent of young people between 11 and 16 said their PC was a trusted friend. Twenty per cent said they were happier at their computer than spending time with family or friends. Another survey found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone, texting and reading emails that they no longer have time for conversation. What do you think about that Unit 6-Listening in

Lesson 13 Lesley: Ah ... it's such a lovely day. It reminds me of last week, doesn't it you? Fiona: Oh don't! I mean that was just so fantastic, that holiday! Lesley: I love that city, you know. Fiona: I do too. Really, it's got something about it, a certain sort of charm ... Lesley: Mm, and all that wine and good food ... Fiona: And so cheap. Right, I mean, compared to here ... Lesley: Yes, although the shops are expensive. Fiona: Mm, yes. Lesley: I mean, really I bought nothing at all. I just ate and ate and drank and drank. Fiona: I know. Wasn't that lovely? Lesley: Yes, and I, I go there. I like listening to the people talking, sitting outside drinking wine. Fiona: Yes. Could you understand what they were saying? When they were speaking quickly, I mean. Lesley: Well, it is difficult, of course. And then I liked that tower, too. Fiona: You liked that tower? I'm not sure about it, really. (No) It's very unusual, right in the centre of the city. Lesley: True, but there's a lovely view from the top. Fiona: Oh, you went right up, didn't you? (Mm, yes) Oh no, I didn't. Lesley: Of course you didn't. Fiona: I remember that day. We weren't together. Lesley: No, that's right. (Mm) You went down by the river, didn't you? Fiona: That's it. Oh, walking along the river and all the couples (Yes) and it's so romantic ... (Is it true) and the paintings too ... Lesley: They do have artists down by the river, do they? (Yes) Oh, how lovely! Fiona: Oh, it really is super. Lesley: Yes. Oh, I think we ought to go back there again next year, don't you? Fiona: I do, yes. (Mm) If only just to sample some more of the wine. Lesley: It'd be lovely, wouldn't it? Fiona: Yes. (Doorbell rings.) Peter: Hello, John. Nice to see you. Come in. How are you? John: Fine, thanks. Peter. And how are you? I expect your patients are keeping you busy at this time of year? Peter: Ah, well. I can't really complain. Let me take your coat. There we are. Well, now, I don't think you've met Ann Patterson, have you? Ann, this is John Middleton. He's the local schoolteacher. Ann: Oh! How do you do? John: How do you do? Ann: Well, that's very interesting. Perhaps you'll be looking after my son. Peter: Yes, that's right. Ann and her family have just moved into the old barn, up by the village hall. They're in the process of doing it up now. Ann: Yes, there's an awful lot needs doing, of course. (Doorbell rings.) Peter: Er, please excuse me for a moment. I think that was the doorbell. John: Well, if I can give you a hand with anything ... I'm something of a handyman in my spare time, you know. I live just over the road. Ann: That's very kind of you. I'm an architect myself, so ... Oh, look! There's someone I know, Eileen! Eileen: Ann, fancy seeing you here! How's life? Ann: Oh, mustn't grumble. Moving's never much fun though, is it? Anyway, how are things with you? You're still at the same estate agent's. I suppose? Eileen: Oh yes. I can't see myself leaving, well, not in the foreseeable future. Ann: Oh, I quite forgot. Do you two know each other? John: Yes, actually, we've met on many an occasion. Hello, Eileen. You see, we play in the same orchestra. Ann: Oh, really? I didn't know anything about that. Eileen: Yes, actually, just amateur stuff, you know—once a week—I come down from London when I can get a baby-sitter for Joanna. Paul: Er ... excuse me, I hope you don't mind my butting in. My name's Paul Madison. I couldn't help overhearing what you said about an orchestra. John: Come and join the party. I'm John Middleton. This is Ann Patterson and Eileen ... or ... I'm terribly sorry. I don't think I know your surname? Eileen: Hawkes. Pleased to meet you, Paul. You play an instrument, do you? Paul: Yes, I'm over here on a scholarship to study the bassoon (loud yawn from Ann) at the Royal Academy of Music for a couple of years. Ann: Oh, I am sorry. It must be all that hard work on the barn ...
