M：Hi，My name is Ivan,and I’m from Russia. W: ----- ,Ivan. My name is Jane. I'm from Canada.

听力原文： Good morning everyone and welcome! Thanks for coming. My name is Jane Watson and I look forward to meeting you all personally. Some of you will be here just for today; others will be attending for three days. I'm just going to say a few words on behalf of my company who has organized this event—Globe Conferences PLC．As you know，today's seminar is the Business Master class to be conducted by our distinguished guest, who I will introduce in a moment. But first a few points of organization which perhaps you would like to know. All the sections will take place in this hotel, except for the last section on tomorrow's software analysis, which will be at the New City Hotel. We will meet there at 2 p. m. and this will give us a chance to see in some of the things that will be discussed. A map with directions to the New City Hotel is available from me if you wish to make your own way. Alternatively, there will be a bus going there at 1:30 p. m. There is limited car parking at the New City Hotel, so if you wish to drive there, you will need a permit and you can get one from the conference office.

Now, to the reason we are all here, we are very fortunate to have a seminar today led by Dr. Martin Sangalli, one of the most prominent and well respected economist in the world business community. He has been asked to advise many large corporations. He is a specialist in strategy use of information technology in banking, pharmaceuticals，and retail. He has his own company called Logic Solutions, which consults with some of the biggest names in the world of business. He is also an adviser to Intertell, and a non executive director of Globe Conferences. Thousands of business and technology managers have benefited from reading his best selling book Intelligent Change. Always inspiring and thought provoking, his ideas have helped hundreds of organizations to gain a glimpse of the future. He is Europe's most famous IT analyst, Dr. Sangalli, welcome.

听力原文：W: Wake up, Frank, time to rise.

M: Ha, oh, hi, Jane, I must have fallen asleep while I was reading.

W: You and everyone else. It looks more like a campground than a library.

M: Well, the dorm's too noisy to study in, and I find this place is quiet.

W: Have you had any luck finding a topic for your paper?

M: No. Professor White told us to write about anything in cultural anthropology. I wish she had not given us so much of a choice.

W: Well, why not write about the ancient civilizations of Mexico. You seem to be interested in that part of the world.

M: I am, but there is too much material to cover. I'll be writing forever, and White only wants five to seven pages.

W: So then limit it to one region of Mexico, Say the Uka town. You've been there and you said it's got lots of interesting relics.

M: That's not a bad idea. I brought many books and things back with me last summer, that would be great resource material, now if I can only remember where I put them.

听力原文：M: Hi, Jane. How is your vacation?

W: Terrific! I went to Washington D. C. to visit my cousin. I saw the Jefferson Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, the Smithsonian Institution, and the White House.

M: I've never been to Washington. What did you like best?

W: Oh, the White House. Do you know that it's been the official home of the presidents since 1800? And every president except George Washington has lived in it.

M: I didn't know it was that old. Is it really as nice as everyone says?

W: It's only a two-storied building of stone. But its dignity impressed me. It used to be called the president's house. But it was named the White House after the British burned it in the war of 1812. It had to be repainted, of course.

M: I remember now. The president then was James Madison. And his wife Dolly ran out of the burning building carrying the portrait of Washington.

W: Yes, that's right. It's hanging in the East Room now.

M: How big is the White House?

W: It's big--32 rooms inside the White House and 8 acres outside. It has to be painted every four years.

M: How much were you allowed to see?

W: Not very much. Only 6 of the rooms are open to the public. It's a popular tour, and there is always a line of people waiting. They want to look at their property, I guess.

M: Their property?

W: Sure. The White House is owned by the people of the United States. We elect the leaders who live in R.

M: But can just anyone go inside?

W: Of course.Anyone can see our president's home.

A．It only has 6 rooms inside.

B．It is a luxury building.

C．It is the official home of the presidents.

M: I didn't know it was that old. Is it really as nice as everyone says it is?

W: It's only a three-storey building built of stone. But it's simple and definite. It used to be called the "President's House". President Theodore Roosevelt officially gave the White House its current name in 1901. The White House has a fascinating history. It survived a fire at the hands of the British in 1814.

M: I remember now. The president then was James Madison. And his wife Dolley ran out of the burning building carrying Gilbert Stuart's portrait of Washington.

W: Yes, that's right. It's hanging in the East Room now.

M: How big is the White House?

W: It's big. Imagine 18 acres of land with gardens and 132 rooms. It has to be painted every four years.

M: How much were you allowed to see?

W: Not very much. Only six of the rooms are open to the public. It's a popular tour, and there is always a line of people waiting. They want to look at their property, I guess.

听力原文：M: Hi, Jane.

W: Hello, Daniel. How are you?

M: I'm fine. Where are you headed?

W: Oh, I'm on my way home from work.

M: I didn't know you have a job.

W: Ya. I work part-time at the supermarket.

M: What do you do there?

W: I work in the produce section, trimming and wrapping fresh fruit and vegetables. I also stock shelves. Sometimes when it really gets busy, 1 work at the check-out counter. Have you got a job, Daniel?

M: Ya, I do yard work for people. You know, cutting grass, raking leaves, falling weeds, things like that.

W: I'd like doing that. It must be nice to work outdoors.

M: Sometimes it is, except when it rains, snows or gets too hot or too cold.

W: I guess every job has its drawbacks. There are times when I get pretty tired of carrying things around at my job. But a job is a job. Got to earn money for school.

M: Me too. Tuition sure is high, isn't it? Well, I'd better get going. I have to plant some trees for my neighbors this afternoon.

W: Well, don't work too hard. Holding down a job, going to class, studying sometimes can become too much for one person. Take it easy.

M: You too. It was great seeing you, Jane.
