W: All right. What do you want me to do, Mr. Davis?
M: Have a ,seat over there. How are things going in the office?
W: Just fine, Mr. Davis, especially with recent personnel shifts.
M: Yes, I thought so. Well, I and the executive board feel that much of your improved performance in the main office is due to your conscientious efforts.
W: Oh, thank you, Mr. Davis. My job has certainly become easier since we computerized our record-keeping system. The equipment is convenient to use.
M: That's true. But we are especially impressed with how your influence contributes to good office relations and improved staff attitude toward the work.
W: Well, thank you for your confidence in me. We do have a lot of good people in the office, and the new machinery is wonderful.
M: Yes, but machines are only as good as the people who use them. They can't ensure harmony and efficiency in a staff.
W: That's very true.
M: To make a long story short, the board wishes to reward your efforts by making you office manager as of next Monday. That means a $ 250 raise as of the first of next month.
W: I'm deeply honored, Mr. Davis. Thank you.

Dear Ms Downings,
You want retail clerks and managers who are accurate, enthusiastic, and experienced. You want someone who cares about customer service, who understands merchandising, and who can work with others to get the job done. When you're ready to hire a manager trainee or a clerk who is willing to work toward promotion, please consider me for the job.
Working as clerk and then as assistant department manager in a large department store has taught me how challenging a career in retailing can be. Moreover, my AA degree in retailing (including work in such courses as retailing, marketing, and business information systems) will provide your store with a well-rounded associate. Most important, I am eager to take on responsibility, and willing to continue learning throughout my career. Please look over my resume to see how my skills can benefit your store.
I understand that Wal-Mart prefers to promote its managers from within the company, and I would be pleased to start out with an entry-level position until I gain the necessary experience. Do you have any associate positions opening up soon? Could we discuss my qualifications? I will phone you early next Wednesday to arrange a meeting at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Glenda Johns

SECTION A CONVERSATIONS
Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文:S: I'm sorry. I just don't agree with you at all.
P: Look. Take the example of an international student applying for university admission. If the student has a 500 on the TOEFL or an 80 on the Michigan Test, most admissions officers will accept the applicant. The student with a 499 or 79 won't be considered. The officer won't even look at transcripts.
S: Right. But I think that proves my point, not yours.
P: How?
S: Well, it's the admissions officer who decides how to use the test. The TOEFL and the Michigan are good English proficiency tests, but that's all they are. And English proficiency is necessary for success in an American university, but so are several other factors, including good academic preparation.
P: Good academic preparation is more important.
S: Maybe. I don't really know. But what I'm trying to ex-plain to you is that admissions officers should use the proficiency test as one of many considerations, and as such, they really shouldn't insist on a rigid cut-off score like 500 or 80.
A: Isn't this the basic disagreement that Paul thinks the tests are bad in themselves, and Sally believes that the tests are good, but that many people don't use them for their intended purpose.
P: I don't agree with having the tests, Professor Ayers, and that's my position.
S: But Pat, what would you do to evaluate the English proficiency of a student ten thousand miles away without a standardized test?
P: I admit that's a big problem.
S: It sure is.
A: Okay, class, for wednesday, let's consider the problem of evaluation without standardized tests like the TOEFL, the SAT, GMAT, and GRE. Paul says that there ought to be an alternative. Sally doesn't seem to believe that there is an appropriate alternative. Please bring in your ideas and suggestions, and we'll discuss them.
What do the speakers mainly discuss?
A.Admission standards at the University of Michigan.
B.The use of standardized tests for college admissions.
C.The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language).
D.Evaluation without standardized tests.
