听力原文： I wasn't too fond of the lecture classes of 400 students that were in my general courses. Halfway through my second term, when I was considering whether or not to come back in the fall, I went on the Internet and came across AmeriCorps. Then I joined the organization. And that was what I did last school year. I worked on making roads, building a house and serving as a teacher's assistant. It's been a great experience.

And I've almost learned more than what I could have in college. Since I didn't really want to ha at that school and I wasn't interested in my major anyway, I think this was better for me. After 1,700 hours of service, I received 4,750 dollars. I can use that to pay off the money I harrowed from the banks or for what I need when I go hack to school this fall at Columbus State in Ohio. Classes are smaller there, and I'll be majoring in German education. After working with the kids, now I know I want to be a teacher.

Why did the man decide to leave the college in his second term？

A．He didn't like the big lecture classes.

B．He couldn't afford further education.

C．He was not interested in education.

B: That' s about the only thing I didn' t enjoy. It was really hot and sticky. In fact, April is its hottest month, The best time to go is dining the cool season, which lasts from November to February.

A: Did you go to some other places beside Bangkok？

B: Sure. I went to Pattaya. It's a famous resort, only two hour's drive from Bangkok. There's plenty to enjoy: fine sand, blue sky, clear water, colorful night life...

"When one of the doctors criticizes(批评) me, I get defensive. I feel like a child again, being scolded, and I want to explain that I' m not wrong. "says Viola, a nurse. This s a common reaction(反应) to criticism, but not a good one. There are better ways of dealing with criticism.

1. Try to be objective (客观) . When Sol was criticized by his new employer for not having made a sale, Sol' s reaction was to feel sorry for himself. "I had put everything I had into making that sale," Sol says, "and I felt that I had failed as a person. I had to earn through experience not to react like that to each failure. "

2. Take time to cool down. Rather than reacting immediately to criticism, take some time to think over what was said . Your first question should be whether the criticism is fair from the other person' s position. The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it.

3. Take positive(积极的) action. After you cool down, consider what you can do about the situation. The best answer may be "nothing". "I finally realized that my boss was having personal problems and taking them out on me because I was there," says Sheila. "His criticisms didn' t really have anything to do with my work, so nothing I said or did was going to change them. " In Sheila' s case, the best way to deal with it was to leave her job. However, that' s an extreme reaction. You may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in-depth discussion. You may even decide that the battle isn' t worth fighting this time. The key, in any case, is to have a reasonable plan.

When Sol was criticized by his employer, he______

A．argued bitterly with his employer

B．was angry and gave up his job

C．was sorry for what he did
