Hand in the Report in 15 Days A Chinese young man worked at a company in the United States. One day he was asked by his American supervisor to come to his office for a report, as the Chinese was thought of as a competent candidate for it. The American supervisor said to the Chinese employee: "Since the report is so important, I hope that you can finish it on time. But just tell me how long it will take you to finish this report？" The Chinese answered, “ I do not know. But how long should it take？” The American said, "You are in the best position to analyze time requirements.” Then the Chinese replied, “20 days.” Then the American said, “ Take 15. It is agreed you will do it in 15 days." In fact the report needed 30 days of regular work. So the Chinese worked day and night, but at the end of the 15th day, he still needed one more day’s work. But he was asked to hand in his report by the American supervisor, “Where is the report？" the American supervisor asked. The Chinese replied, “It will be ready tomorrow.” “But we agreed that it would be ready today.” The American said firmly. The next day the Chinese employee handed in his resignation. The American supervisor was shocked.

听力原文：M: Juliet, you chose not to go to college. Why？ Was it about money？

W: Well. I don't want to sit here to say I was too poor to go to college. But the fact is that we didn't have the money, though my mum probably could have made enough somehow. I probably could have worked harder at school and gotten better grades, so, it is really I didn't get to go to college. I had a wish to go to school every other week. It wasn't just my path.

M: At the time did you feel that you were missing something？

W: My best friend went off to university and I just remember every time I talk to her. It all sounded so fun and so great. Here I was Selling 10 shoes and getting on the bus every day to work in town. We both thought the other's life was so much more exciting. I was trying hard to make enough to pay for my own flat every two months and that seemed so exciting to her. And she would talk about studying for finals, and going to parties. and I thought, God, she is so perfect.

Why did the woman not go to college？

A．She didn't pass the exam.

B．She wasn't interested in college.

C．She couldn't afford college education.

听力原文：M: What are you doing oat here alone？

M: It's a wonderful party. Everyone is standing around the piano and singing. Do you want to join us？

W: I'd rather stay oat here for a few minutes, Look down where I'm pointing.

M: I don't see anything special.

W: That's where I teed to live when I was a child.

M: What kind of neighborhood was it？

W: A very poor one. Everyone was supposed to work hard and end up with a house in the suburbs.

M: But you've ended up with an apartment in the sky.

W: Yes, I don't want to lose it. I worked hard for this apartment.

M: I think that means that all of us had better go Ixshe soon, so that you can get a little sleep.

听力原文：M: Well, now, Mrs. Davis, do you have any questions about your job？

W: Yes, I do, really. I'm a bit worried about this word processing.

M: There is no need to worry about it. Your application form. says that you can type pretty fast. We'll give you training on the word processor. In fact it is just an advanced typewriter. And it has a memory so that you don't have to type a regular letter again and again. You'll get used to it, I can assure you. The training just takes a few weeks. And you'll find that it's easier to check and correct mistakes than on a normal typewriter.

W: Oh, that sounds good. Em, how about this computer？ I'm not sure about that either. Actually, I'm a computer illiterate.

M: Well, we'll give you training on that as well. But that comes later—after you've worked with the word processor. Again, it's very much like a typewriter. You'll be using it to get information from its memory. Really it's just like a large filing cabinet that there is no paper involved. You type out the reference number or the subject and the information appears on a television screen.

W: Oh, that doesn't sound too difficult. How long would the training for that take？

M: Probably a couple of months. We hope you can do that part-time during your working hours.

W: Hm. That sounds fine. So that first bit of training would be with the word processor.

M: Yes, that's about aright. Exact details can be worked out later, of course.

(20)

A．Training.

B．Typing.

C．Computer skills.

D．Word-processing.

SECTION B INTERVIEW

Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. Questions 1 to 5 are based on an interview. At the end of the interview you will be given 10 seconds to answer each of the following five questions.

Now listen to the interview.

听力原文：Nicole: Mark, I am truly impressed with how successful the Earth Day Groceries Project has been. How did this all come about？ Mark: I got an Internet account in 1993 from NASA--that was very exciting--and got on some educational discussion lists. I tried this project at my schools: borrowing grocery bags from the local supermarket with the agreement that the kids would decorate them and bring them back, and the store would distribute them to customers on Earth Day, April 22. It would be an environmental education project where the students were actually empowered as teachers to educate their community on the importance of Earth Day and of protecting their environment and so on. And they did that through the artwork that they put on each grocery bag.

It was a huge hit. I involved most of the school the next year. And, after that, I wanted to share it even more. The Internet Was just starling with discussion lists for educators, and so I sent this invitation out to Ednet and Kidsphere in 1994. I received responses from 43 schools, mostly in the U.S. and Canada. There were about 15,000 bags decorated just through this one little announcement! I was just blown away. The power of this medium is something!

That summer I began building our school website. And for the first 4 years of the project, the Earth Day Groceries Project was part of that site. It's continued to grow. I established it with its own domain name several years ago, and 2 years ago, I set it up as a nonprofit organization. I still run it myself, but we do have a board. The reason for doing that is that it became a very big project in terms of the amount of time required.

Nicole: Looking at the website, it's clear that a lot of time and effort went into the project. How did you develop the skills you needed to construct the site？

Mark: There were no books on HTML--hypertext mark-up language, the tagging system used to create most webpages--published when I started working on the school website. Basically, I went to a few web-sites, and I looked at the source of the webpages. I learned how to copy and paste, put my own information in, and look at the page locally. That's how I learned how HTML worked. Then I found a very simple HTML editor and learned a little bit more. So, I was self-taught, and trial and error was one of the first ways that I got started.

Nicole: How have things changed since then？

Mark: Now there are a lot of books, and terrific online resources and courses. The opportunities to learn are all over the place. The biggest challenge for teachers is finding the time to do it. That's the biggest challenge for me--just finding the time to keep my skills.

Nicole: Jean, introducing computers into the classroom seems like a somewhat unlikely thing for an art teacher to do. What prompted you to do it？

Jean: I started constructing webpages a couple of yearn ago, and just continued to develop with it. Being an art teacher, I like doing anything visual, and doing webpages became a way for me to become visually and "artically" challenged.

Nicole: What were your goals for your students when you started to participate in the project？

Jean: I just wanted them to come up with a message and make a picture that related to the message--those are the most important things.

Nicole: How did you help them to achieve those goals？

Jean: I would introduce the lesson by talking about recycling, ecology, the environment, and ways that we can improve the environment. We'd talk about what Earth Day is--the whole meaning behind it.

From an art standpoint, we would talk about the graphics: What is the b

A．was inspired by a friend of Mark' s who works at NASA

B．is the name of an online education discussion list

C．was started by a local supermarket

D．is an environmental education project

听力原文：M: I am so relieved I've just finished my assignment for my writing course.

W: I haven't yet. I had trouble getting pass the beginning.

M: How come？

W: Well, I really want to have a detective story. But after the first few pages, I just couldn't write any more.

M: The same thing happened to me. I thought it meant I lack imagination.

W: Well, Prof. Wilson said it's pretty common for writers to get stuck like that.

M: You went to talk to her about it？

W: Actually, I went to ask for more time to finish the assignment. But she said that the first thing I should do is just write anything that come into my head even if it doesn't make any sense, sort of warm-up exercise.

M: That is interesting. When I get stuck, I shift to something else, you know, do some work for my other courses.

W: Well, her method seems to have worked for me. I should be able to hand it in on time. But first I need to go to the jewelry store.

M: You are going shopping？ Now？

W: I am going there for my story. My detective solves a jewelry store robbery. So I want to take a look at how the jewelry cases are arranged, and where the security cameras are located, that sort of thing.

What is the conversation mainly about？

A．A jewelry store robbery.

B．Buying a birthday present.

C．Writing a story.

D．Doing research for a class assignment.

We like to see murderers and thieves end up in prison. If they are【46】e______as a consequence of being filmed by security cameras, having their phone calls【47】1______to or their email messages read,【48】m______just be the weapon we have long been looking for in our war against them. Recent【49】s______breakthroughs have also made it possible to solve crimes that took place decades【50】a______, so that just about any story can be worked out from its ending. This, too, is good news; if it is true it means that there really is no hiding place for the wrongdoer,【51】______the police will always get their man, and that crime doesn’t pay.

The worrying thing is, of course, that it is not just the【52】______(crime) who are being watched. All of us have now become the stars of films made in shops, car parks and the high street. Records are kept, and sometimes【53】______(sell) , of the numbers we most often phone, while the emails we like to think of as being private and【54】______(person) are copied and stored by persons unknown. Some say this is the price of freedom【55】f______crime, and that the innocent have nothing to fear.
