[00:20.30]Exercise 1:Directions:Listen to the conversation and answer the following questions briefly.

[00:30.10]In the following conversation Laura, a university lecturer, is talking with Mary about her job.

[00:38.41]Laura:People think university lecturers don't work very hard.

[00:42.66]I only have to do eight lectures a week, so they imagine that I only work for eight hours!

[00:48.53]In fact, I work much longer hours than a secretary in an office.

[00:53.78]I get up every morning before seven-and I hate getting up early-and I never go to bed before midnight.

[01:01.49]I work better late at night.

[01:03.79]Mary:But of course you have much longer holidays, Laura.

[01:07.28]Laura:Oh, I'm not complaining. It's more pleasant to work in the university than in an office.

[01:13.33]I love my work. I like lecturing and I'm keen on doing research.

[01:17.98]I don't like correcting essays very much, but I enjoy talking to the students.

[01:23.88]I'd hate to have to work the same hours every day, and do a boring, repetitive job.

[01:29.53]But I would like to have more time for the things I enjoy doing, apart from work.

[01:34.68]Mary:What takes up most of your time?

[01:37.99]Laura:Reading and preparing lectures.

[01:40.73]Preparing a lecture is like cooking.

[01:43.57]My mother always says it takes two hours to prepare a good meal, and ten minutes to eat it. (202 words)

[01:50.02]1)What do people think of university lecturers?

[01:55.70]2)How does Laura like her own work?

[02:00.24]3)What does Laura think of her job compared with a secretary's in an office?

[02:07.37]4)What does Mary think of Laura's job?

[02:17.38]Exercise 2:Directions:Listen to the conversation again and decide what Laura likes to do and what she hates to do.

[02:29.29]Write an "L" for "like" and an "H" for "hate" beside the expressions you hear from the recording.

[03:04.54]I've been in a lot of dangerous situations. Over in Bolivia, for example,

[03:10.40]I was working for a small airline, and we carried just about everything,

[03:15.05]animals, whisky, dynamite, and, of course, people.

[03:19.51]There were times when I felt I was flying a bomb, not a plane.

[03:24.30]Once I was taking dynamite to the mines.

[03:27.58]Dynamite! Man, I had never seen so much.

[03:31.68]They had even put some on the floor right next to me.

[03:34.92]I was certainly nervous on that trip.

[03:37.62]Well, I was flying over ther mountains when suddenly the engine stopped.

[03:43.20]Well, that time I landed without the plane. I got down all right, but I was hurt.

[03:50.98]I was lying out there for about four days before they found me.

[03:55.33]They told me later that they had almost given me up for dead.

[03:59.65]Anyway, they got me back to the hospital, and three months later I was flying again.

[04:05.84]No, I'm not afraid of flying. But there's a lot to worry about as a pilot. (167 words)

[04:12.29]1)What is the speaker?

[04:15.60]2)What does the speaker mean by "I was flying a bomb, not a plane"?

[04:22.44]3)How did the speaker feel when flying a plane carrying a lot of dynamite?

[04:29.24]4)What happened once when the speaker was flying over the mountains?

[04:34.64]5)What does the speaker think of his job?

[04:39.07]Exercise 2:Directions:Listen to the passage again and pay special attention to the speaker's account of an accident he once experienced.

[04:52.03]Put the following sentences into the right order according to the recording. Write down the letters only.

[05:07.55]panel truck previous normal

[05:19.93]Exercise 1:Directions:Listen to the passage and decide whether the statements you hear from the recording are true (T) or false (F).

[05:32.64]The summer I was ten, in the Depression year of 1935, I worked on a big panel truck delivering foods to as many as 100 stores a day.

[05:43.30]For 12 hours' work I received a sandwich, a soft drink and 50 cents.

[05:48.98]Since I had no previous work experience, I thought working this hard was normal.

[05:54.17]On days that I wasn't delivering food, I worked at the candy store.

[05:58.78]Once while sweeping, I found 15 cents under a table and gave it to the owner.

[06:04.64]He put his arm around me, admitting he had put the money there to see if he could trust me.

[06:09.72]I ended up working for him and his wife all through high school.

[06:13.79]I've never forgotten that honesty is what kept me in that job.

[06:18.29]I saved every penny from those two jobs and opened my first bank account.

[06:23.22]There were many other jobs over the years-waiter, parking-lot attendant, housecleaner.

[06:28.94]With each job, I couldn't help remembering the lesson I learned that day in the candy store about trust.

[06:34.92]That's the key in working with others and building a business-and, that's what made my own business successful. (195 words)

[06:42.34]1)I worked as a truck driver in the summer of 1935.

[06:48.60]2)I hated having to work hard.

[06:52.85]3)I worked at a candy shop when I wasn't delivering food.

[07:54.91]Exercise 1:Directions:Listen to the passage and complete the table with the information you get from the recording.

[08:05.14]When I was 12, my family moved to Chicago. There I convinced a restaurant manager that I was 16, and he hired me as a waiter for 25 cents an hour.

[08:16.12]The restaurant was owned by two Greek immigrant brothers, Frank and Georget Regas,

[08:21.05]who had started in America as dishwasher and hotdog seller.

[08:25.01]They were tough and set high standards, but they never asked their employees to do what they wouldn't do themselves.

[08:31.16]"My boy," Frank told me, "as long as you try, you can work for me. But when you don't try, you can't work for me."

[08:37.75]Trying included everything from working hard to treating customers politely.

[08:43.15]I remember once, when the restaurant was at its busiest, Frank noticed a waitress was not treating a customer politely.

[08:50.86]He fired the waitress on the spot and finished waiting on the table himself.

[08:55.50]He always knew exactly what was going on in the restaurant.

[08:58.70]The usual tip in those days was a dime, but if I brought out the food quickly and was especially polite, I could sometimes get a quarter.

[09:06.48]I remember trying to see how many customers I could wait on in one night. My record was 100. (200 words)

[09:11.70]Exercise 2:Directions:Listen to the passage again and correct the 8 mistakes with the exact words you get from the recording.

[09:37.84]One day while still new at the job, I noticed two kids jumping up and down near the water's edge,

[09:44.50]pointing toward an animal that appeared to be struggling in the waves.

[09:48.56]I decided I couldn't watch a dog drown.

[09:51.80]Jumping through the window, I ran toward the beach. As I started to take off my coat,

[09:58.10]a man came by. "What are you doing?" he asked.

[10:02.21]"I'm going to save that dog!" I said.

[10:05.38]Puzzled, he asked where I was from.

[10:08.04]"The Midwest," I replied.

[10:10.13]"Oh, I see," he said. "They don't have sea lions there, do they?"

[18:27.79]Man:There must be some catch.

[18:29.74]Woman:No, the only thing is you have to travel, but then that's what the company car's for.

[18:35.86]Oh, and you have to be able to get on well with other people because it says you have to be good on a team.

[19:39.07]marine mammal

[19:44.04]Exercise 1:Directions:Listen to the passage and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).

[19:55.45]Sea lions get bored easily, explains trainer Hurley, because they're smart.

[20:01.61]So she spends at least 20 minutes, three times a day with each sea lion.

[20:07.91]She plays games with them, teaches them new skills, and praises their efforts.

[20:13.88]For example, Hurley started by training each sea lion to chase after a ball and touch it with its nose.

[20:23.86]First she waited for the sea lion to do it by chance.

[20:27.74]Then she praised the animal with positive reinforcement, such as food, petting, or a game.

[20:35.20]Eventually, the sea lions knew to chase after the ball to get a reward.

[20:41.06]The next step was to get the sea lions to swim beside life-size plastic whale models, Hurley says.

[20:48.95]She and her team placed the models over a boat and the sea lions would follow them.

[20:55.18]"We began training the animals to touch their noses to the whale's body," says Hurley.

[21:00.94]"Just like they did with the ball. Eventually, the sea lions learned to do it."

[21:07.38]Then they trained them to carry a videotape recorder on their bodies and videotape the plastic whale.

[21:15.26]Now they're almost ready to chase after the real thing, Hurley says.

[21:19.80]If successful, she may send them to videotape other marine mammals, such as the enormous blue whales.

[21:28.30]After doing all that work, you might wonder, do the animals get paid? Well, not in dollars and cents.

[21:37.48]But they do get loving caretakers, a good home, food, and drink-and human companions who are willing to play plenty of games. (236 words)

[21:49.39]1)Hurley should spend 20 minutes, three times a week with each sea lion.

[21:55.55]2)Hurley trains the sea lion to touch a ball with its feet.

[22:01.24]3)The sea lion got praised with food, petting or a game.

[22:07.50]4)Then the sea lions learn to swim beside life-size plastic whale models.

[22:14.48]5)Hurley trains the sea lions to videotape other sea mammals.
