As Gas Prices Increase, So Do Hardships
By Julie Livingston
Staff Reporter
With gas prices at more than $4 per gallon, many Upton citizens are being forced to break their regular routine and change their way of living.
In the past, high gas prices meant Uptonites would postpone their weekend trip or even summer vacation, but today, Uptonites are changing more than travel plans.
"I started riding my bike to run errands in town," said resident Dale Brown. "But I still have to commute into the city for work, and I'm paying nearly double in gas. I may have to look for a new job."
Not only are people riding bicycles more, buses have been fuller than usual, and the gas prices are forcing the city council to discuss increasing ticket prices by 20 cents.
Still many people are driving as usual, but filling their tanks only half way. "I get calls a few times per week that they've run out of gas, so I drive out to where they are and bring them gas," said Marty Watson, owner of Marty's Gas Station. "It's a shame that [the gas] is not as affordable, so people fill up less and get stuck."
What problem is being discussed?
A.Lower wages
B.Higher fuel prices
C.Rising unemployment
D.Higher healthcare costs
听力原文:W: Excuse me, sir. Is this the human resources department?
M: Yes, that's right. Is there anything I can do for you?
W: Yeah, I'm a TV reporter, and I'm doing a serial interview on the job market in China. Could you do me a favor, please?
M: My pleasure. What would you like to know first?
W: I know you have a very large staff of over one thousand. How do you appoint them to the right posts, and transfer them, if necessary, at the right time?
M: That's a good question. Ah, let me see. We give tests and on-the-job trials in different ways, so we know whichever job best suits a certain person.
W: My second question is that today there are many people, especially the competent ones, who jump from job to job. How do you settle that?
M: We have tight regulations and long service awards for motivating employees. But, anyway, they make their own choices. If they choose to stay, they need to abide by our policies.
W: I'm sorry, I didn't quite follow you. Do you mean that they are free to come and go?
M: Yes, you are quite right.
W: Another question is that since you've been a personnel manager for several years, what do you think is the bottleneck in the job market in China today? Why is it so hard for graduates to find a suitable job?
M: Well, let me see. Maybe it's the lack of experience. They remain frustrated in a new workplace even after half a year.
W: Now I've got it. But may I ask you one more question, please?
M: Of course you can.
W: Suppose I were one of your job applicants, what would you advise me to do?
M: Learn what you are learning well and try to be proficient in at least one thing. That's my tip for all job hunters.
W: Thank you very much.

Man: It was a nasty joke for investors today who had dismissed Y2K as much ado about nothing. Shares of IBM plunged almost 20 per cent on unexpected news that the drop of the Y2K spending is having a big impact on big blue. The problem is businesses that paid IBM and other technology companies tens of billions of dollars last year to make sure their computer systems were ready for the year 2000 have now stopped spending, at least until sometime next year.
Woman: Many corporations say that they've bought their computers. They've switched their software, it's Y2K compliant. And they just don't want to touch that installation, they don't want to risk something going wrong after they worked so hard to make sure that everything is going to work.
Man: IBM is the most prominent casualty of the technology spending freeze, but others are suffering as well. On Monday shares of Lexmark International, a computer printing company, dropped 30 per cent. Purchases of new printers have been postponed until after the new millennium. Shares of Computer Horizons, which installs business software, have fallen more than 75 percent. Last year the company had its best year ever. What worries Wall Street now is how many other companies who think their businesses are fine will find their earnings decimated by the drop of Y2K spending. A company as big as IBM could underestimate the risk. others could also be fooled.
