听力原文:W: Hello, Martin. Have you seen the e-mail that Frank sent around?
M: Yes. It makes me very nervous. He want us to clean out our files. I thought that we are under a court order to keep everything.

M: But you know Frank. He had that problem in Texas a few years ago and he doesn't want to go through it again.

听力原文:Woman: It's no good just standing there saying you're sorry, because that isn't going to give me the photographs you've lost, is it? And I took them on a once-in-a- lifetime holiday, so it's impossible to replace them. It didn't cross my mind for an instant that you could lose a roll of film, just like that. To be frank, I think it's an insult just to offer me a new roll in its place. I would expect at the very least to be offered a refund and compensation for the loss and inconvenience, even if it isn't your normal policy.
You hear a woman in a shop talking about some lost photographs. What does she think the shop should give her?
A.some money
B.a replacement film
C.an apology

M: Yes...? Well, how were they?
W: Would you like to take a look? Out of a possible score of five, you got a four point eight. That's very high, Frank.
M: Well, what a pleasant surprise.
W: When we see such a high score, we generally try to keep the Teaching Assistant on a little longer and perhaps even ask them to cover more classes. What do you say, Frank? Would you like this?
M: I sure would, but I don't know if I can. Next fall will be my last semester of coursework for my master's and I'll be very busy doing re search on my thesis. Could I have a few days to think about it?
W: Certainly, I wouldn't want you to fall behind in your course-work, but I do think you should consider getting more experience in the class room. You seem to have a real gift.
M: Thanks for your praise, Professor.
W: Let me know by the beginning of next week, will you?
M: Sure thing. I'll drop by again on Monday or Tuesday.

Man2:Very dimly,I'm afraid I see no evidence that the park will return to profitability next year,or for that matter at any time in the foreseeable future…
Man3:I don’t believe you have read a single word…
Man1:Frank.you'll have a chance to give us your point of view in a second.Let Helmut finish first…
Man2:Right,as 1 was saying.I'm afraid Megadrome is a lost cause.We've already lost nearly$400,000 in the last 6 months.We can't afford to continue absorbing those sorts of losses.I think we should close it down as soon as possible and liquidise our assets.
Man3:What do you mean by liquidise our assets?…We wouldn't be able to sell…
Man1:Just a moment,Frank,we'll come to you in a moment.So,let me j ust summarise.Helmut is for closing the park as soon as possible and selling off the land and property.Is that right?
Man2:Yes.I know we’re not likely to get a very good price for the land but I think we're better off selling now rather than waiting another 6 months and finding property prices have fallen even further.
Man1:Thank you,Helmut.Pam,what's your view?
Man4:Helmut's right when he says we've lost an awful lot of money but I think we have to look at it in the wider European context.All our European parks are going through hard times and entry numbers are down in all cases….
Man2:Maybe,but nothing like…
Man1:Helmut,Let's see what Pam has got to say.
Man4:Yeah,1 was saying all the European parks are suffering as a result of the tough economic climate and we've just commissioned an independent survey of the entire theme park business in Europe which indicates that as many as 40%of all parks will have closed by spring next year.
Man2:Exactly,that's my point.
Man1:Helmut,we'd listened to you.Let's listen to Pam now.
Man4:Right,so we can anticipate a much reduced number of theme park operations next year.At the sanle time,most economists are forecasting a recovery throughout Europe from about the middle of next year.Now,at the moment,our customers are staymg at home and saving their money but I feel we can expect them to start spending again by the middle of next year.
There'll be fewer parks to visit and I think Megadrome could be very well placed to pick up an increased share of the market.
Man1:So.you're in favour of keeping it open?
Man4:Oh,yes,I am.But at a reduced level through the winter months.I'd like Frank to propose a plan for limited opening for the period November to March and then start again with a bang beginning of April in time tO catch the Easter holiday business.
Man1:Right,Pam.So you're in favour of option 2-operating on a much reduced scale-for a 5-month period?
Man4:Right.
Man1:Frank.You've been very patient.No doubt you see this differently.
Man3:Not really.I agree with everything Pam has said,but I'm worried about her conclusions.
Man1:You mean the 5-month reduced operation?
Man3:That's right.I'll look at that option,of course.But you've got to understand that the largest running cost of Megadrome is the depreciation on all the equipment.If we just open at weekends,for example.we'ge got to offset a reduced gate income against the same level of depreciation.
Man2:Frank is right.That's why I feel the only option is to closed down and sell of
A.the Park is too old to manage at present.
B.the Park is suffering a loss in profit in the last quarter.
C.the Park's profit has been falling in the past 6 months.

To: Mr. Frank Connoirs, Security Manager
From: Mr. Victors, Security Supervisor
Date: March 15th, 2009
Subject: Incident Report—Damage to Medical Equipment
Occurrence:
Date: March 14, 2009
Time: 10 : 30 p.m.
Location: Warehouse, Ubi Road
Description: While on patrol at the equipment warehouse, I noticed that the newly arrived equipment was very wet and had been severely damaged by water leaking through the ceiling.
Immediate actions taken:
a) The affected equipment was immediately removed from the damp area and dried by using blankets.
b) I made temporary repairs to stop the water entering the ceiling.
c) The matter was reported verbally to the Warehouse Manager at 7 : 00 a. m. today.
Findings:
A small team consisting of Mr. Smith (Maintenance), Mr. Robin (Warehouse Manager), and myself (Security), investigated the damages to the warehouse roof.
It was discovered that several parts of the roof were very weak indeed and in urgent need of repair. It was also found that the weakest part of the roof appeared to be over the equipment storage area.
Conclusions:
It appeared from our observations that recent heavy rain had weakened several parts of the roof, and that this was the cause of the water entering the warehouse.
Maintenance Department has agreed to make temporary repairs to the roof to stop water from entering the warehouse and provide temporary measures to protect equipment in the warehouse.
Recommendations:
It is strongly recommended that permanent repairs be carried out on the roof so as to solve the problem of water damage to equipment.

On Being a Matchmaker
The first thing I do when I wake up is to make a mental list of all things I have to do that day. I'm very organized! Then I get up and have my bath. Often my best matchmaking(媒人) ideas come while I'm in the bath. Sometimes I have a really good idea about who might be good with whom.
Before I did matchmaking, I was a social worker, but I knew I wanted to do something without bosses telling me what to do and that I am good at dealing with people. Also I had seen too many broken marriages and too many people go downhill because they were so lonely. So I gave up my job, did a bit of research and started the matchmaking business in 1970.
Over the last few years we've been doing introductions throughout Europe as well as here in Britain. Europeans want to meet British people. For every 100 people who come to us, a bout 65 will settle down. We keep going until clients (委托人) find someone that they get on very well with. We're great triers. Of course there are impossible people, those who will never settle...
Sometimes I end up giving advice to clients. A few months ago, we had a highly paid scientist with a very nice face, but every woman refused to meet him a second time. It soon be came clear that he did not like changing his shirts. So I had to be very honest and frank and told him, "But a woman can't start to love you if your shirt smells." The job is most satisfying when I get a call from a couple telling me they have fallen in love.
What does the author mean by saying "I'm very organized"?
A.She is especially capable of organizing things.
B.She has a fixed plan for her everyday activities.
C.She likes to remember things she has to do.
D.She always finishes what she does on time.
