Directions:
Read the following discussion among five people about workplace dress, for questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark you answers on your ANSWER SHEET 1.
Marian:
I have a friend who is a team leader of about 25 employees who are primarily women. She's found a trick that works for her most of the time, but not always. Those staff who appear in much less than professional dressing are asked if their mother and father would think appropriate a picture of them dressed in what they believe is "OK" for work. If they say "yes", she then takes a picture and asks them to send it home. Having a camera helps. Having a visual proof drives her message home.
Catherine:
I think it really boils down to a moral question. Is it morally "right" to use our body to move ahead in business? Or should we instead emphasize intelligence, capabilities, creative and independent thought, professionalism, and other such qualities which many, many women possess, but whom are routinely neglected for promotions and are never glorified or emphasized in our culture. It's okay to be a tough, competent lawyer like Ally Mcbeai, but you won't get noticed unless you look good in really short skirts. Having a nice body is a plus, but I think that there are tons and tons of styles of dress which can show off a nice body in a professional way.
Roger:
A lot of employees have finally gotten the message about inappropriate (不合适的) dress-down items such as jeans, shorts, revealing tops, etc. They are starting to wear the proper dress-down clothes. However, wearing the appropriate dress-down clothes doesn't mean you're excused from ironing and it' s certainly no license to wear dirty clothes. Wash and iron people! And guys, tuck your shirts in and put on a pair of socks!
Briggs:
I work in a large company that has adopted the business code. They have an outline of what is acceptable and what is not. On it you find the typical, no blue jeans, no mini-skirts, no bare feet or legs and that type of thing. I guess I agree with Jessica. Anyone with common sense knows how to dress appropriately for whatever environment he or she works in. I am a casual person by nature but I tend to wear the business dress in my office. I do see some people in my building wearing casually and they look strange there.
Bill:
You're forgetting the most important point—it's "their" business. They are the ones who have put financial resources on the line: who have a whole bunch to lose if the business goes bad: who are providing employment for others. Therefore, they get to make the roles. If that includes a dross code, then that's their right. If you'd like a different dress code—start your own business.
Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
[A] We shall not be moved.
[B] Money means freedom.
[C] Photos taking are pleasant.
[D] There are people who are so careless about dressing.
[E] Action speaks louder than words.
[F] It is our society that must be blamed.
[G] You should wear appropriately where you are.

W: Yes, I just got here the day before yesterday. And you?
M: I'm a native.
W: Oh, really? Everyone else I've met so far has been a tourist like us. I was beginning to think that maybe there were no natives.
M: Well. San Francisco has a lot of different ethnic groups, so you might think you're seeing a lot of foreigners. But in fact, the city has a population of about 700 000 people.
W: What are the different ethnic groups?
M: Well, after whites, the largest one is blacks.
W: I thought it was Chinese.
M: It's true that San Francisco has the largest Chinese community outside Asia. But there are many more blacks here than Chinese.
W: That's interesting. Don't most of the Chinese people live in China-town?
M: Well, no, they live throughout the city, but China-town is definitely the center of Chinese culture here. That's where you'll find the best Chinese restaurants, bookstores, art theaters, things like that.
W: How about the Japanese? Doesn't San Francisco have a large Japanese population too?
M: No, actually there are only about 12 000 Japanese people here, but we do have an area called "Japan-town" that has Japanese restaurants and bookstores.
W: You seem to know a lot about this city.
M: Well, most San Franciscans think their city is pretty special. We like to talk about it. Besides, I teach ethnic history at the university here.
W: No wonder you know so much!
What is the largest ethnic group in San Francisco?
A.The blacks.
B.The whites.
C.The Chinese.
D.The Japanese.
W: Hello. My name's John Bush and I'm intending to go to a conference in Sydney for three weeks.
M: I see. Do you want the excursion fare or the full return fare?
W: Now, can I get a stopover on an excursion fare?
M: Yes, you're allowed only one stopover on the excursion fare.
W. Oh, I see, only one.
M: Yes. But of course, if you pay the full return fare then you can have unlimited stopovers.
W: Oh, It sounds good. You see, the thing is that I've got two weeks' holiday after the conference and I've never been out that way before at all to Australia or the Far East, and I want to go shopping or sightseeing in Hong Kong or somewhere near there. Where exactly can I go?
M: Well, lots of places. There's Singapore, Kuwait, Athens, you've really got quite a lot of choices you know.
W: Mm. Well, it sounds marvelous. How much would that cost? How much is the full fare?
M: The full fare? Well, that's really quite a lot. It's £1204.
W: Yes. Well, it's once in a lifetime, you know, I've never been. The thing is actually that I'm absolutely afraid of flying. I've never done it before.
M: Oh dear. Um...
W: And I'm hoping that I can persuade my two Mends, who are going to the conference, to stop over with me on the way back.
M: Yes, that would be a good idea.
W. By the way, one of them is in Cairo at the moment. Would it be possible for me to stop over there on my way to Sydney?
M. Yes, of course. There are lots of flights to Cairo and, then plenty more onwards from Cairo to Sydney. And then you can stay for as long as you like.
W: Oh, that's great! Now, the thing is, I think I'd better go and persuade Mr. Adams that, you know, he'd like to stop with me in Cairo...
M: I see.
W: Oh, thanks very much. Good-bye.
M: Thank you. Good-bye.

听力原文:W: Good morning, sir. What can I help you?
M: I wonder if you could tell me some information about active holidays.
W: Active holidays, sir? Can you tell me exactly what you mean, please?
M: Well, you see, when I go on holiday, I like to take plenty of exercise. I don’t like staying around and doing nothing. I get enough of that in my office. What I mean to say is I’m the sort of men who enjoy swimming, water skiing, that sort of thing. I like anything to do with water and I don’t mind roughing it. I’ve always been used to looking after myself. When I was in the army, I used to get up at five every morning just to see the sunrise.
W: Yes, sir, very interesting. Urn... active holidays, let me see. Oh, yes, what about skin diving, sir? We can offer you a fortnight off the coast of Cornwall, all--including one week skin diving and one week shark-fishing with the local fishermen. It’s a very good bargain.
M: Shark-fishing? I don’t think I fancy shark-fishing. Is there any chance of getting a bit of sailing in that part of Cornwall?
W: We don’t do any sailing holidays, sir. They are mostly organized by the sailing schools. But rowing, canoeing, yes. Are you fond of rowing, sir?
M: Well, I did a lot of rowing when I was at university, but I’m a bit out of practice these days. I don’t think I’ve handled a pair of oars since I went boating on the Thames ten years ago. No, I don’t think I’d like to spend my holiday rowing.
W: Try looking through some of these brochures, sir, and see if there’s anything that attracts you.
What is an active holiday according to the man?
A.Sitting around.
B.With joys of social activities.
C.Doing nothing.
D.Holiday with a lot of exercise.
