听力原文：W: Have a seat, Mr. Baldwin. You have a very impressive resume.

M: Thank you very much.

W: Now I see your present job is as an administrative assistant in the Central Bank. What exactly is your responsibility？

M: Well, I run the office when my boss is out, and when she's in, I assign tasks to the secretaries who work for me. Of course, I also type and take shorthand.

W: You certainly have had a lot of experience. Why do you want to become an office manager？

M: I want more responsibility. I'm looking for a job that challenges me.

W: Is that the only reason you want to leave the Central Bank？

M: That's the main reason, but also for the money. I have a lot of expenses with our new house and all.

W: One reason we pay so much is that you occasionally have to work evenings.

M: I don't mind. My wife doesn't work so she can be home with our two kids.

W: Well, we'll try not to keep you from your family too much. Thank you for coming in, Mr. Baldwin. We'll call you next week if we have any good news.

听力原文： Sometimes we say that someone we know is "a square peg in a round hole". This simply means that the person we are talking about is not suited for the job he is doing. He may be a bookkeeper who really wants to be an actor or a mechanic who likes cooking. Unfortunately, many people in the world are "square pegs", they are not doing the kind of work they should be doing, for one reason or another. As a result they probably are not doing a very good job and certainly they are not happy.

Choosing the right career is very important. Most of us spend a great part of our lives at our jobs. For that reason we should try to find out what our talents are and how we can use them. We can do this through aptitude tests, interviews with specialists, and study of books in our field of interest.

There are many careers open to each of us. Perhaps we like science, then we might prepare ourselves to be chemists, physicists, or biologists. Maybe our interests take us into the business world and such work as accounting, personnel management or public relations. Many persons find their place in government service. Teaching, newspaper work, medicine, engineering—these and many other fields offer fascinating careers to persons with talent and training.

iting is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste to the last. And good writers, good cooks, do not suddenly appear full-blown. Quite the contrary, just as the cook has to undergo an intensive training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style. in his writing, whatever its purpose-schoolwork, matters of business, or purely social communication. You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing, and the more rewarding.

There are still some remote places in the world where you might find a public scribe to do your business or social writing for you, for a fee. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rate kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves.

We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put words to paper. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and reports put into the mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figure must be enormous. What is more, everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes. We want whatever we write to be read, from first word to last, not just thrown into some “letters-to-be-read” file (档案) or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skill of interesting, effective writing.

Task 2 Running your small business requires good staff. Once you find them, you don't want to let them go elsewhere. During an employee's time with a company, there are a number of forces that influence his or her behavior. I like to refer to them as“push” and “pull”. You're either pushing an employee towards the door, or pulling them deeper into your organization. Suppose that you've made a good hire and you want to keep the employees, the trick is to recognize individual needs of employees and satisfy those needs, within reason, in order to keep pulling them away from the door. Even if you can't pull them away from the door, at least don't do things to push them out the door. Recognize that some employees will lose interest and need something fresh to keep their interest. If you can't continually provide challenges, opportunities for promotion and other interesting and rewarding opportunities, then you'll have some employees leave through no fault of your own. The important thing is to identify your key employees and make certain they are being treated well. Communicate with them on a regular basis to make certain that you understand what makes them behave in a particular way, and be aware of concerns they may have about job satisfaction. 41、 The author uses the word “push” (para.2) to mean the force that ______. A. makes employees satisfied with their work B. drives employees to work more efficiently C. causes employees to leave their company D. keeps employees to remain in their company

A、makes employees satisfied with their work

B、drives employees to work more efficiently

C、. causes employees to leave their company

D、. keeps employees to remain in their company

听力原文： If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington, concluded from other men's work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.

He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.

Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all of nature.

Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking.
