听力原文: As you know we've been working with the Maclachlan Group, who has been providing interpersonal-skills seminars to our staff. A lot of these seminars are very important for our staff because they deal with matters that are important everyday, such as conflict resolution, and time efficiency. But even though these seminars provided free of charge, I am hearing a lot of reports that say employees aren't attending these seminars because they just don't see any benefit to them. But of course, as managers we know that it may take time to see the advantages that extra training can provide. I think that these seminars are beneficial and that we should make every effort to encourage our staff to attend these seminars. The way to do that is to make these seminars more appealing. Therefore I propose we start holding these seminars at weekend resorts so that employees will be more interested in going.
Who is the speaker most likely talking to?
A.New employees
B.Loyal customers
C.Business owners
D.Department managers

Passage One
Questions 17 to 19 are based on the passage you have just heard.
听力原文:
Passage One I first met Joe Gans when we were both nine years old, which is probably the
only reason he’s one of my best friends. If I had first met Joe as a freshman in high
school, we wouldn’t even have had the chance to get to know each other. Joe is a day
student, but I am a boarding student. We haven’t been in the same classes, sports, or
extracurricular activities.
Nonetheless, I spend nearly every weekend at his house and we talk on the phone every
night. This is not to say that we would not have been compatible if we had first met in our
freshman year. Rather, we would not have been likely to spend enough time getting to know
each other due to the lack of immediately visible mutual interests. In fact, to be honest,
I struggle even now to think of things we have in common. But maybe that’s what makes us
enjoy each other’s company so much. When I look at my friendship with Joe, I wonder how
many people I’ve known whom I never disliked, but simply didn’t take the time to get to
know. Thanks to Joe, I have realized how little basis there is for the social divisions
that exist in every community. Since this realization, I have begun to make an even more
determined effort to find friends in unexpected people and places.
Questions 17to 19 are based on the passage you have just heard.

As it is, sleep is so undervalued that getting by on fewer hours has become a badge of honor.

Whether or not we can catch up on sleep-on the weekend, say-is a hotly_____(38)topic among sleep researches. The latest evidence suggests that while it isn't_____(39), it might help.

That suggests that catchup sleep may undo some but not all of the damage that sleep_____(42)causes, which is encouraging given how many adults don't get the hours they need each night. Still, Liu isn't_____(43)to endorse the habit of sleeping less and making up for it later.
Sleeping pills, while helpful for some, are not_____(44)an effective remedy either. “A sleeping pill will_____(45)one area of the brain, but there's never going to be a perfect sleeping pill, because you couldn't really replicates(复制)the different chemicals moving in and out of different parts of the brain to go through the different stages of sleep," says Dr.Nancy Collop, director of the Emory University Sleep Center.

听力原文: Buying a house is always an expensive business. It is not just money that you spend but also a lot of time and energy finding and visiting houses. At first my wife and I tried to do things the easy way -- by telephone. We rang up a number of house agents, told them what we wanted and asked them to send us lists of suitable houses for safe. We didn't want to do too much work, as my wife was pregnant; Our flat would be too small for three people, which was why we wanted to move.
We soon began getting the lists we had asked for. There were hundreds of houses. Every evening for a week we went through the lists. We were looking for houses which we could afford and were near an underground station and a park. We then made a short list of such suitable houses. This list consisted of about twenty houses. Every weekend for the next two months we went out visiting the houses on our list. Some were too dark inside, some were in very noisy areas. Then, we found exactly what we were looking for. At last we thought, we moved into the house two months later. We couldn't move in straight away. The people selling the house were themselves looking for a new one -- and you know how long that takes.
