M: Hi, Sally, this is Phil.
W: Great to hear from you Phil! How have you been doing?

W: I sympathize! I went through the same thing last year.
M: That's exactly why I'm calling you. Do you have any suggestions for coping with anxiety? You know how I hate exams!
W: Well, last year the university offered a stress-management course at about this time. Have you been in contact with the student health services?

W: Funny, isn't it? Just when students need help most, we can't afford the time to get it!
M: Well, perhaps I should find out more about this stress-management course. Things have got to get better!
W: I suggest you call the health services tomorrow. They open at nine a. m.

听力原文:W: First of all, when do people start work in American offices?
M: Right, well, the official workdays start at 9 a. m.. It should really mean 9 o'clock, not ten past or half past nine.
W: Would you say that people work very hard in offices in America?
M: Well, I don't know about the employees in your country, but some nations have a philosophy that you only work when the boss is around. And any time he is not there, one can relax by reading the newspaper or whatever one likes doing in a personal way.
W: And things are different in the States, you are saying?
M: Well, in America, one is being paid for one's time. So employees are expected to find other work if their own desks are clear, or to help someone else with his or her work. But you never sit idle doing nothing.
W: Yes, as the saying goes, time is money.
M: Exactly. Your employer owns your time while he is paying you for it. That is precisely what "time is money" means. And anyway the boss does not ask more of you than he is doing himself. He will probably work to the lunch hour himself or even take work until night.
W: Talking about lunch hours. What about them? Do you take them seriously?
M: Oh, yes, sure, of course. The employee's lunch hour should be taken within the period allowed unless you are officially discussing company business, say, on a business lunch. It's the same, too, with the end of the day. I mean, work until the day officially ends at five o'clock unless you are in the office work, where flextime, is, is accepted practice.
W: Oh, so you have the flextime system, do you? I wasn't sure about that.
M: Oh, yes, sure. Flexible working hours, that is, starting or ending work earlier or later. I know, it is still relatively new. However there are more and more Americans on the system today. Well, for the same reasons as in Europe to keep traffic and commuting problems down. And as more women now work, it gives more family time.
W: Urn. Could you say something about contract of hiring in America, please?
M: Well, it's different in America from, say, European countries like Germany or France, perhaps Japan, too. I'm not sure. I know that in some countries, people relax when they have once got a job because they know they will almost never be fired unless they do something wrong.
W: Do you mean that your employer can just fire you in America?
M: No, no, no. There are of course legal protections in the US. So employees cannot be unjustly fired without good reasons. Workers must do a good job, produce well and get along with their colleagues, or they can be let go, as it is called.
W: So one day to the next, you mean.
M: Well, it's really done without warning. But it is important to remember that in the US you are a member of a business firm and not a family. It makes a difference.
W: I wonder, are the physical or external appearances of office life different from European offices?
M: Well, I have heard people comment on the informality found in American offices. And this is certainly a little difficult for people who are more used to hierarchical system, of course. There are some very formal offices, too, say, big banks, law firms, and major corporations. But in many establishments with fewer employees, the atmosphere is loose and easy with a lot of joking and teasing and wandering in and out of the offices among all levels of employees.
W: Well, that sounds quite interesting. I think that's all I want to know really. Thank you very much.
M: My pleasure.
Employees in the US are paid for their time. This means that they are supposed to
A.work hard while their boss is around.
B.come to work when there is work to be done.
C.work with initiative and willingness.
D.work through their lunch break.

材料:
MV Magellan was inbound from Rotterdam to berth 207 at Southampton Container Terminal.At 0530 the pilot boarded the ship at the Nab Tower pilot station.The pilot&39;s and the master&39;s passage plans were exchanged and the ship&39;s pilot card was given to the pilot.
The passage continued along the East Solent,during which time there were various VHF radio conversations between vessels and Southampton VTS,about restricted visibility.The VTS officer gave the pilot a countdown from 5 to 2 cables to the Gurnard buoy.This was given so that the pilot could judge the timing of the wheel-over manoeuvre for the 141° turn into the narrow Thorn Channel.The wheel-over occurred at about 0652 and the ship began to turn.
At this time,the W Bramble and NE Gurnard buoys,which are at the entrance to Thorn Channel,could not be seen because of restricted visibility.Various helm and engine movements were made during the turn.However,when W Bramble and NE Gurnard buoys appeared,the pilot realized that the ship was in the wrong position for the heading she was on.Despite further helm and engine orders,the vessel grounded soon after,at 0700.It was not until about 0710 that the escort harbor launch informed VTS of the grounding.With the assistance of two tugs,the ship was refloated near the time of high water,and she safely berthed at 1232.

C.to inform the pilot that the visibility around the buoy is reduced further
D.to request the pilot that further consideration should be given to the wheel-over manoeuvre for the 141° turn

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.
