W: I believe that your cello is rather special.Is that true？

M: Oh,yes.It was made for my uncle by a very expert Italian cello maker called Mario.When I began cello lessons at the age of eight,he said that when I grew big enough to handle a full-sized cello,he would give it to me.

W: So when a child begins to play the cello,he or she starts on a smaller instrument？

W: Are you going to other places on this trip and will you take your cello with you？

M: Yes.very definitely.

W: But.isn't it difficult taking a cello around with you？

M: Not really.I just reserve two seats when I'm traveling anywhere,one for me and one for my cello.It's such a precious instrument to me that it hardly ever leaves my side.

听力原文：W: David! Can I give you a hand with one of those grocery bags？

M: Sure, Nancy! Could you take this one, please？ I didn't realize how heavy these bags would be.

W: Why did you buy so much stuff when you have to walk home from the store？

M: Well, I didn't intend to buy a lot—but I'm having some people over and I guess I needed more than I expected.

听力原文：W: So what are the two main times of the day that you watch TV？

M: Well, a little around breakfast time and then it tends to be really late— eleven or even midnight—when I've finished work.

W: And what sort of programs do you go for？

M: Some news bulletins but I also really like to put my feet up with some of the old comedy shows.

W: Fine. And turning to the new channel...which type of programs would you like to see more of？

M: Well, I certainly don't think we need any more factual programs like news and documentaries. I think we need more about things like local in formation...you know, providing a service for the community. And in the same vein, perhaps more for younger viewers...you know, good quality stuff.

W: Ah ha. And if you had to give the new directors some specific advice when they set up the channel, what advice would you give theme

M: I think I'd advice them to pay more attention to the quality of the actual broadcast, you know, the sound system. They ought to do lots more of these kinds of interview, you know, talking with their potential customers.

W: Oh, I'm glad you think it's valuable!

M: Certainly...yeah.

W: Good. Ok, this will be a commercial channel of course, but how often do you think it is tolerable to have adverts？

M: Well out of that list I'd say every quarter of an hour. I don't think we can complain about that, as long as they don't last for ten minutes each time!

W: Quite. And…would you be willing to attend any of our special promotions for the new channel？

M: Yes, I'd be very happy to, as long as they're held here in my area.

W: Thank you very much for your time.

听力原文： A famous writer who was visiting Japan was invited to give a lecture at a university to a large group of students. As most of them could not understand spoken English, he had to have an interpreter.

During his lecture he told an amusing story which went on for rather a long time. At last he stopped to allow the interpreter to translate it into Japanese, and was very surprised when the man did this in a few seconds, after which all the students laughed loudly.

After the lecture, the writer thanked the interpreter for his good work and then said to him, "Now please tell me how you translated that long story of mine into such a short Japanese one."

"I didn't tell the story at all," the interpreter answered with a smile. "I just said, 'The honorable lecturer has just told a funny story. You will all laugh, please. '"

M: Yes. I feel a totally different life when I have our company.

W: Could you give me some suggestions on how to be a good leader？

M: I think the biggest mistake many people have is that they don't realize there are two parts of leadership. I think leadership comprises visionary direction and implementation.

W: What are they exactly？

M: [22] Visionary direction part is where we are going. What are we trying to accomplish？ And the leaders have to take a major role in setting those. And once the goals are clear, [23] the second part of leadership is how to get there.

W: What's your outlook on those who want to lead and organize their own businesses？

M: Well, I think [24] first of all you have to find something you love to do. Then you have to find out how you can make a business out of that. Then come the big issues in running a business.

W: That is the thing I am most concerned.

M: Not to be eliminated, you need a good finance. You need to have some people to help get off the ground and then you gradually learn about managing and leading people.

W: Say I am someone who is just now entering the work force. I am excited and passionate about what I have chosen to do but somehow I have to keep the passion. How can I maintain that 'kind of excitement so that I can excel？

M: I think [25] the best advice is that when you go to a iob, find somebody who is older than you, who has more experience than you and ask him if he would be your counselor.

(23)

A．The goals of the employees.

B．The objectives of the organization.

C．The structure of the organization.

听力原文： Through the years of being an advisor at the university, I've often been requested to give suggestions about how to handle "information anxiety". Now let me give you some advice. First of all, what is "information anxiety"？ Well, as you know, we are bombarded daily by books, magazines, newspapers, television, and radio, We are hit with bills, letters, and reports. All of this can cause quite a lot of anxiety. It's because we are living in the "information age" that we get this bombardment of information everyday. So today let me give you some organizing tips that should make your life easier.

First of all, when you get your mail, open it and sort it right away. Get rid of all junk inserts, and then sort the mail into four categories: to do, to pay, to read, and to file.

Be realistic about your reading. Check the magazines you subscribe to on a regular basis. If you find yourself falling behind in your reading, let some of those subscriptions go. And if you are one of those people who like to clip out articles to road later, then do some screening first and be sure to clip only the most important articles for reading later.

You should have a filing system, but don't use your files as a dumping ground. Make it a rule to clean out your files and papers at least once a year, more often if possible.

Spend five or ten minutes each day cleaning up your desk and prioritizing your work for the next day. The following day will get off to a much better start if your desk is organized and you are not faced with overwhelming piles of paper. Don't use the top of your desk as a storage area. It should be a work area, with plenty of room to work.

A．From Europe to China.

B．From Ethiopia to Europe.

C．From China to Ethiopia.

D．From Byzantium to China.

听力原文：M: Hi, I heard you're looking for a different apartment.

W: Yeah, the place I'm in now is a real down.

M: It was OK when I was there.

W: Oh, the boiler keeps breaking and when it does, we loose the heat for several days at the time.

M: Wily doesn't the owner replace it？

W: Well, she said it was cheaper to keep fixing it. She's a nice enough person, just the sort of mean. In any case, I' m sick of being cold.

M: Can you get your deposit back if you move？

W: If I give two-month notice, I can get the whole thing back.

M: So what kind of place are you looking for？

W: I think I'll try to get into one of those high-rises near the university. There's nothing really special but at least they are new and functional.

M: I heard of those buildings are pretty noisy. The walls are thin and you can hear everything that's going on in the other apartment.

W: Oh, that will never do. I need some place quiet to finish my thesis. I guess I'll have to look some more ads. But I still have some worries. You know, maybe new isn't necessarily better.

M: Why don't you try some of those apartments in Winsor？ They're supposed to be nice.

W: Oh, aren't they awfully expensive？

M: Not really, you'll be surprised at how reasonable some of them are. The problem would be that the bus doesn't run that way.

W: That'll definitely be a problem. I can't afford a car right now. I guess I'd better check a few of the places here in the city before I make a decision.

W: It's a great pleasure to meet you, Mr Clive. I believe you have seen our exhibits in the show room. What is it in particular you're interested in？

M: I'm interested in your hardware. I've seen the exhibits and studied your catalogues. I think some of the items will find a ready market in Canada. Here's a list of my requirements; I'd like to have your lowest quotations, C. I. E Vancouver.

W: Thank you for your inquiry. Would you tell us what quantity you require so that we can work out the offers？

M: I'll do that. Meanwhile, could you give me an indication of price？

W: Here are our F. O. B. price lists. All the prices in the lists are subject to our confirmation.

M: What about the commission？ I usually get a 3 to 5 percent commission for my imports.
