A former town hall worker made legal history last week when she was awarded £67, 000 for stress brought on by her work. The ruling made Beverley Lancaster the first person to get their em- ployer to accept the legal responsibility for stress-related personal injury in a British court. It is like-ly to start a flood of other workers' claims, Mrs. Lancaster's union already has 7, 000 stress-relat-ed cases on its books.
The 44-year-old mother of two started a legal case against Birmingham City Council after falling ill while working as a troubleshooter in a neighbourhood housing office. Dealing with rude and abusive members of the public pushed her into periods of gloom and she suffered anxiety , Birmingham county court heard. Mrs. Lancaster joined the council at 16, working her way up from junior clerk to senior draughtswoman. Her problems began when she was promoted to housing officer in Sutton Coldfield. "With no continuity, a constant high workload and little clerical support, I found it difficult to switch from one problem or situation to another, " she said. "My concentration swung and I suffered sleepless nights. It made me feel like I was in a hole with no key to open the door .I would break down in tears. I was being buried in paperwork and at times my mind would just go blank. "
In awarding compensation of £ 67, 491, assistant recorder Frances Kirkham said she understood the position of troubleshooter was very different from Mrs. Lancaster's previous job. She rejected claims from the council that Mrs. Lancaster would be able to go back to her former profession, saying she accepted that the possibility of future work would be in a lesser capacity.
After the hearing Mrs. Lancaster said she was relieved and pleased. She added, "I hope this will act as a warning to employers. Everything I did was right. The council made promises to me and they failed me: I felt isolated, let down, that I was not good enough, not wanted. "The pay- out, the first of its kind to be decided in a county court, covers loss of wages and future loss of earnings.
A spokesman for Birmingham City Council said action had been taken by the authority to re-view its staff and management procedures.
46. Mrs Beverley Lancaster was awarded£ 67 ,000 for__________ .
[A] illness caused by her job
[B] her successful and good work
[C] the courage she showed in court
[D] the amount of work she did
听力原文: In her early days as an emergency room physician, Doctor Joanna Myer treated a child who had suffered a second degree burn. After the child had been treated and was being prepared for discharge, Doctor Myer talked to the parents about how they should care for the child at home. Also listening to her were a half a dozen other family members. A few hours later, when she came to say goodbye, the family asked her to settle an argument they'd been having over exactly what advice she had given. "As I talked to them, 1 was amazed". she said, "All of them had heard the simple instructions I have given just a few hours before, but they have three or four different versions. The most basic details were unclear and confusing. I was surprised, because these were intelligent people". This episode gave Doctor Myer her first clue to something every doctor learns sooner or later—most people just don't listen very well. Nowadays, she says she repeats her instructions, and even conducts a reality check with some patients. She asks them to tell her what they think they are supposed to do. She also provides take-home sheets which are computer printouts tailored to the patients' situation. Doctor Myer's listeners are not unusual. When new or difficult material is presented, almost all listeners are faced with the challenge because human speech lacks the stability and permanence of the printed word. Oral communication is fast-moving and impermanent.
Questions:
What did the child's family members argue about in the hospital?
What does Doctor Myer do to insure her patients understand her instructions?
What does the speaker say about human speech?
(30)
A.Whether they should take the child home.
B.What Dr. Myer's instructions exactly were.
C.Who should take care of the child at home.
D.When the child would completely recover.
D
