There were 12 demigods (半神半人), according to this legend, and then Loki (火神) appeared, making the 13th. Since Loki was evil and cruel and caused human misfortunes (灾祸), and since he was the 13th demigod, the number 13 came to be a sign of bad luck.Some people think the superstition goes back to the fact that there were 13 persons at the Last Supper, and that Judas (犹大) was the 13th guest!

He had rented a furnished room in a provincial town not far from the public park and had been there two weeks. He was standing at the window looking out at the dull beds of geraniums, the park gates and the cold, uninviting statue of Queen Victoria that stood across the street from him, It was raining hard and the few people who passed by looked wet and miserable. X was miserable, too. How, he wondered, could anybody think there was anything interesting about the life of a secret agent? He knew it was because people had seen so many television plays about glamorous spies that they thought the life of a secret agent was exciting.They were convinced that every cigarette lighter concealed a secret tape recorder; that a fountain pen held in a certain way would open a locked door, that the touch of a gold ring against the handof an enemy would make him reveal all his secrets. How wrong they were! He looked round his room. The wallpaper was in the worst possible taste, the pictures horrible, the carpet worn, dirtyand faded; and he was cold. This was the third Monday he had come to the window to look out.He prayed it would be the last.As if in answer to his prayer, a certain meeting he had been sent to investigate was about to take place. He took out his camera. Just beneath the statue two women had stopped to speak. He knew one of them, and it was she who pointed in his direction. The other woman looked up towards him and in that brief moment he photographed her.Task 3【答案】A.Names Ideal CareersHarry SailorNora Farmer(if she were a man)Robert Civil engineerPeter Racing driver or explorerB.1) a 2) b 3) c 4) b 5) d【原文】Harry: Well, Robert, have you made up your mind yet what you want to do when you leave college?Nora: Oh Harry. Surely he's a bit young to decide on his career. He hasn't even got to college yet. Harry: Not at all, Nora. It's wisest to decide in good time. Look at me, for example. I really wanted to be a sailor, but now I spend my days sitting at a desk in an office. Yes, it's sillyto train for the wrong job. And after all, Robert will be going to college soon.Nora: Now if I were a man I'd be a farmer. To see the crops growing--that's my idea of a good life.Harry: Yes, and to see the money rolling in is more important still.Robert: Well, that's not the way I look at it, Dad. It's the job I care about, not the money.Harry: Maybe not; but you'll learn to care about the money too, when you've got a family to keep.Nora: And of course Peter — well, he's keen to be a racing driver, or else an explorer.Robert: Oh, Peter's not old enough to make up his mind about such things.Harry: You haven't answered my question yet, Robert. What would you like to do?Nora: Are you sure you don't want to be a farmer, Robert? Or a market gardener?Robert: No, I'm sorry Mum, but I don't want to at all. I'd rather be a civil engineer. I want to build roads and bridges.Harry: Not ships? Isn't it better to be a shipbuilding engineer?Robert: Look here, is it my career we're planning, or yours?Harry: All fight, all right, there's no need to lose your temper. But you'd better win that scholarship first.Task 4【答案】I. correspondents; columnistA. may not need eitherB. to go to places where events take place and write stories about themII. first; bigger; better; who will soon leave to work for other peopleIII. working hours; free time; work long hours to begin with【原文】Here are some of the things a young man or woman should not do when he first asks an editor for a job:He should not tell the editor that he wants to be a foreign correspondent or a columnist.Very probably the editor does not need either. He wants a reporter who will go to such places as government offices and police stations and write a true story of what is happening there. Being a foreign correspondent or a columnist will come later.A young person should not tell tile editor that newspaper work is only the first step on the way to bigger and better jobs, such as those in government. The editor must take a lot of time and trouble teaching someone to be a good newspaperman or woman. He does not like the idea of teaching people who are soon going to leave him to work for someone else.A young journalist should accept the working hours and free time the editor gives him. Asa new journalist, it is very probable that he will work longer hours than others and work on weekends. The editor did the same when he was a young newspaperman with no experience. He expects a journalist to understand how things are on a newspaper.Task 5【答案】A.1) acd 2) abeB.1) she is the wrong sex 2) she wears the wrong clothes【原文】SYLVIA: We've got a new manager in our department.LARRY: Oh? You hoped to get that job, didn't you?SYLVIA: Yes, I did.LARRY: I'm sorry. That's too bad. Who is it? Who got the job, I mean?SYLVIA: Someone called Drexler. Carl Drexler. He's been with the company only two years.I've been here longer. And I know more about the job, too!LARRY: Hmm. Why do you think they gave it to him and not to you?SYLVIA: Because I'm the wrong sex, of course !LARRY: You mean you didn't get the job because you're a woman?SYLVIA: Yes, that was probably it! It isn't fair.LARRY: What sort of clothes does he wear?SYLVTA: A dark suit. White shirt. A tie. Why?LARRY: Perhaps that had something to do with it.SYLVIA: You mean you think I didn't get the job because I come to work in jeans and a sweater?LARRY: It's possible, isn't it?SYLVIA: Do you really think I should wear different clothes?LARRY: Well. . . perhaps you should think about it.SYLVTA: Why should I wear a skirt? Or a dress?LARRY: I'm not saying you should. I'm saying you should think about it. That's all!SYLVIA: Why should I do that? I'm good at my job! That's the only important thing!LARRY: Hmm. Perhaps it should be the only important thing. But it isn't.

It's the same line for everything. You just stand here and wait.Al: Oh. Is there always such a long line?Bob: Every week. Sometimes longer. Is this your first time here?Al: Yes.Bob: What happened? Your plant closed down?Al: No. I'm a car salesman, or, I was a car salesman. But we just aren't selling cars. It's the interest rates. Two years ago, I averaged ten new cars a month. Do you know how many carsI sold last month? One. One car to a lady who had the cash. But the interest rates are up again.The boss let three of us go. How about you?Bob: I worked at a vacuum cleaner plant with about fifty workers. We put in a good day's work.But the machinery was getting old. As a matter of fact, the whole plant was old. So the management decided to build a new plant. You know where? In Singapore. The workers here made about seven dollars an hour, a couple of people made eight or nine an hour. You know how much they're paying the workers in Singapore? $2.50 an hour! Anyway, all fifty of usgot laid off.Al: How long ago was that?Bob: They closed down ten months ago.Al: Any luck finding another job?Bob: Nothing. I have one, sometimes two, interviews a week. Last week I thought I had something.They liked my experience with machines. But I never heard from them again.Al: At least you know something about machines. All I can do is talk.Bob: Maybe you'll talk yourself into another job. Good luck. I'll see you here next week.Al: I hope not. I hope I'll have something by then.Task 7【答案】A.1) F 2) F 3) T 4) F 5) T 6) FB.1) According to the first speaker, it is frustrating because the teacher cannot see clearly the resultsof his efforts.2) According to the second speaker, English language teaching is a good job, because it guaranteesa stable income and regular working hours and means less pressure. He also likes the way elderly teacher are.【原文】Interviewer: Do you prefer what you're doing to teaching?John Smith: Yes, one of the things I found a bit frustrating about teaching was that it was rather, very intangible than um, especially if you're teaching in England and most of the students knowquite a lot of English before they arrive. They learn a lot of English outside the classroom, in pubsor coffee shops or other places, with the families they're living with. It's very difficult to pin downhow much they learn from your actual lesson, whereas in marketing um, again there are lots of areas that are gray rather than black or white, but there are quite a few other areas where one can see quite clearly the results of one's efforts.Interviewer: What did you do after you quit your job in advertising?Second Man: In fact, I became a journalist and I worked as a freelance. I didn't have a full-time job with any newspaper. I just had to contribute things as they came along and 1wrote for magazines, and I did quite a lot of broadcasting for the VOA. Well, thiswas in a way the opposite of advertising because I enjoyed it a lot but I found it veryhard to earn enough money to live on.Interviewer: And then you decided to be a teacher?Second Man: Well, and so I thought. Well, I must do something which produces an income that I can be sure of. While I was working as a journalist I had done an article for amagazine about the English language teaching world and m fact I had come to theschool where I now teach as a journalist and interviewed a lot of the people. And Ithought it seemed a very nice place and I thought that the classes I visited had a very,very nice feeling about them, and so I thought, well, I'll see if they'll have me. Interviewer: Why do you prefer teaching to advertising?Second Man: Well, partly because in teaching you work regular hours. It I advertising you just had to stay at the office until the work was finished [I see.] and it could be three o'clockin the morning. [Oh, dean] Also you were very often made to work at weekends.Often some job would come up that was very important and they said it had to befinished — it had to go into the newspapers next week.Interviewer: So there was a lot mom pressure.Second Man: There was a lot more pressure in advertising. Also, the people I worked with when I was first in advertising were young hopeful people like myself. By the end I wasworking with a lot of old people who quite honestly were awful. And I kept lookingat them and saying, "Am I going to be like that?" And I thought if I am I'd better getout, whereas the English language teachers I saw, who were older people I thought,well, they seemed quite nice. And I wouldn't mind being like that myself.Task 8【答案】The interview with Michale:Does he work? No.Why or why not? The work he used to do was not what interestedhim and what he likes to do cannot earn himenough money to support himself.What are the advantages of not having to work? 1) You do not have to get up it you don’t feellike it.2) You can spend your time on the things youwant to do.Why does he feel justified in not working? He believes he does things which are enjoyablefor him and useful to people and thecommunity.The interview with Chris:What is the value of work in the current society? Very little value other than supporting oneself and ones family.What are the two main aspects of work? 1) It is a bread-winning process.2) The activities in it can be valuable to society.What does he think of the work of a car factory worker? He thinks it harmful to both the environment and the society, for cars add to pollution and consume the scarce resources.What does he think of the work of a doctor? He thinks it a valuable job in any society.What kind of job does he do? He is perhaps a university teacher.What does he think of his work?He regarded his job a “white collar” job, whichhe does with his mind and receives mentalsatisfaction from it.【原文】Matthew: Michael, do you go out to work?Michael: Not regularly, no. I... I used to; I used to have a job in a publishing company, but I decided it wasn't really what I wanted to do and that what I wanted to do wouldn't earn memuch money, so I gave up working and luckily I had a private income from my family tosupport me and now I do the things I want to do. Some of them get paid like lecturing andteaching, and others don't.Matthew: What are the advantages of not having to go to work from nine till five?Michael: Ah... there' re two advantages really. One is that if you feel tired you don't have to getup, and the other is that you can spend your time doing things you want to do rather thanbeing forced to do the same thing all the time.Matthew: But surely that's in a sense very self-indulgent and very lucky because most of us have to go out and earn our livings. Do you feel justified in having this privileged position?Michael: Yes, because I think I use it well. I do things which I think are useful to people and the community and which I enjoy doing.Matthew: Chris, what do you think the value of work is?Chris: Well, I think in our present-day society, for most people, work has very little value at all.Most of us go out to work for about eight to nine hours of our working day. We do thingswhich are either totally futile and totally useless or have very little justification whatsoever,and for most of us the only reason for working is that we need to keep ourselves alive, topay for somewhere to live, to pay to feed our children.Matthew: But surely people wouldn't know what to do if they didn't have to go to work?Chris: Well, again this raises the sort of two main aspects of work. Should we think of 'work only as a sort of bread-winning process, and this is very much the role it has in currentsociety, or should we take a much wider perspective on work and think of all the possiblesort of activities that human beings could be doing during the day? I think the sort of distinction currently is between say, someone who works in a car factory and who produces cars which are just adding to pollution, to over-consumption of vital resources,who is doing something which is very harmful, both to our environment and to, probablysociety, to contrast his work with someone perhaps like a doctor, who I think in any societycould be justified as doing a very valuable job and one which incidentally is satisfying tothe person who is doing it.Matthew: What do you do? Is your job just a breadwinning process or do you get some satisfaction out of doing it?Chris: Well, in the job I do find that most of the satisfaction is a mental one; it's coming to grips with the problems of my subject and with the problems of teaching in the University.Clearly this is the type of satisfaction that most people doing what we call in England "white-collar" jobs. This is quite different from the sort of craftsman, who is either working that his hands or with his skills on a machine, or from people perhaps who areusing artistic skills, which are of a quite different character. Certainly it's becoming a phenomena that people who do "white-collar jobs during the day, who work with their minds to some extent, people who work on computers, people who are office clerks, bankemployees, these people have fairly soul-destroying jobs which nevertheless don't involvemuch physical effort, that they tend to come home and do "do-it-yourself" activities at home. They make cupboard, paint their houses, repair their cars, which somehow providethe sort of physical job satisfaction that they're denied in their working day.Task 9【答案】A.Interviewees Like their jobs(percent)Dislike their jobs(percent)Like jobs in part(percent)Men91 5 4Women84124Men/Women 18-2470 20 6Men/Women 25-2988 9 3Men/Women 30-3992 8 0White-collar workers87 8 4Blue-collar workers91 5 3B.1) No major change. For som e→“less paperwork”Some:→less working hoursOthers:→earn more money.2) Most adults→would go on working.Esp. young adults (18 to 24)→9 out of 10 would go on working【原文】Are most workers today feeling bored and dissatisfied with their jobs? It is often claimedthat they are. Yet a study conducted by Parade magazine more than 20 years ago showed that people at that time felt the opposite.Parade asked questions of a representative sampling of adult Americans from coast to coast. The sampling included different sexes, age groups, and occupations.The interviewees were asked to make a choice from one of the following three to describe their feelings towards their work.A. Like their jobs.B. Dislike their jobs.C. Like their jobs in part,Results showed that 91 percent of the male interviewees and 84 percent of the females chose A, while only 5 percent men and 12 percent women interviewed chose B. The rest said that they liked their jobs in part and they comprised a very tow percentage.In all the three age groups — from 18 to 24, from 25 to 29 and 30 to 39 — those who liked theirjobs made up the majority. 70 percent, 88 percent and 92 percent respectively choose A. Those choosing B accounted for 20 percent, 9 percent and 8 percent of different age groups. And the rest, 6 percent, 3 percent and 0 percent respectively claimed that they only liked their jobs in part.The difference in responses among people with different occupations is small. Among the white-collar employees, those choosing A, B and C are 87 percent, 8 percent and 4 percent of the total. And for the blue-collar employees, 91 percent, 5 percent and 3 percent choose A, B and C respectively.It is interesting to note that there are few differences in attitude between men and women, professionals and factory workers. In each group, the largest number reported that they liked their jobs.Next, Parade asked, "If there were one thing you could change about your job, what wouldit be?" It was expected that many would wish to make their jobs less boring, but very few gavethis reply. No major changes were reported. Some wished for "less paperwork"; many would shorten their working hours, but others would like more hours in order to earn more money. No serious complaints were made.Most people have to work in order to live. But what would happen if someone had enough money to stop working? Parade asked, "If you inherited a million dollars, would you go on working — either at your present job or something you liked better--or would you quit work?" The answers showed that most adults would prefer to work, even if they didn't have to. This is true especially of the younger adults aged 18-24. Of these, nine out often said they would go on working, even if they suddenly became millionaires.Task 10【答案】A.According to Mother Accordingto CathyIntelligence very bright reasonably intelligentInterests music and dancing tennis and swimming, talking topeopleCareer inclination teacher or vet hairdresserB.1) F 2) TC.1) b 2) aD.1. She really enjoyed meeting new people.2. She had good qualifications in English and Maths.3. She did not mind hard work, even if it was not always pleasant.4. She liked living away form home.【原文】Officer: Come in, please take a seat. I'm the careers officer. You're Cathy, aren't you?Mother: That's right. This is Catherine Hunt, and I'm her mother.Officer: How do you do, Mrs. Hunt? Hello, Catherine.Cathy: Hello. Pleased to meet you.Officer: And you'd like some advice about choosing a career?-Mother: Yes, she would. Wouldn't you, Catherine?Cathy: Yes, please.Officer: Well, just let me ask a few questions to begin with. How old are you, Catherine?Mother: She's nineteen. Well, she's almost nineteen.Officer: And what qualifications have you got?Mother: Well, qualifications from school, of course. Very good results she got. And she got certificates for ballet and for playing the piano.Officer: Is that what you're interested in, Catherine, dancing and music?Cathy: Well...Mother: Ever since she was a little girl, she's been very keen on music and dancing. She ought to be a music teacher or something. She's quite willing to train for a few more years to getthe right job, aren't you, Catherine?Cathy: Well, if it's a good idea.Mother: There you are, you see. She's a good girl really, a bit lazy and disorganized sometimes,but she's very bright. I'm sure the careers officer will have lots of jobs for you.Officer: Well, I'm afraid it's not as easy as that. There are many young people these days who can't find the job they want.Mother: I told you, Catherine. I told you, you shouldn't wear that dress. You have to look smart to get a job these days.Officer: I think she looks very nice. Mrs. Hunt, will you come into the other office for a moment and look at some of the information we have there. I'm sure you'd like to see how we canhelp young people.Mother: Yes, I'd love to. Mind you, I think Catherine would be a nice teacher. She could work with young children. She'd like that. Or she could be a vet. She's always looking after sick animals.Officer: I'm afraid there's a lot of competition. You need very good results to be a vet. This way, Mrs. Hunt. Just wait a minute, Catherine.(The mother exits.)Officer: There are just one or two more things, Catherine.Cathy: Do call me Cathy.Officer: OK, Cathy. Are you really interested in being a vet?Cathy: Not really. Anyway, I'm not bright enough. I'm reasonably intelligent, but I'm not brilliant.I'm afraid my mother is a bit over-optimistic.Officer: Yes, I guessed that. She's a bit overpowering, isn't she, your mum?Cathy: A bit. But she's very kind.Officer: I'm sure she is. So, you're interested in ballet and music, are you?Cathy: Not really. My mother sent me to lessons when I was six, so I'm quite good, I suppose. ButI don't think I want to do that for the rest of my life, especially music. It's so lonely.Officer: What do you enjoy doing?Cathy: Well, I like playing tennis, and swimming. Oh, I went to France with the school choir last year. I really enjoyed that. And I like talking to people. But I suppose you mean real interests — things that would help me to get a job?Officer: No. I'm more interested in what you really want to do. You like talking to people, do you? Cathy: Oh yes, I really enjoy meeting new people.Officer: Do you think you would enjoy teaching?Cathy: No, no, I don't really. I was never very interested in school work, and I'd like to do something different. Anyway, there's a teacher training college very near us. It would be just like going to school again.Officer: So you don't want to go on training?Cathy: Oh, I wouldn't mind at all, not for something useful. I wondered about being a hairdresser — you meet lots of people, and you learn to do something properly—but I don't know. It doesn't seem very worthwhile.Officer: What about nursing?Cathy: Nursing? In a hospital? Oh, I couldn't do that, I'm not good enough.Officer: Yes, you are. You've got good qualifications in English and Maths. But it is very hard work.Cathy: Oh, I don't mind that.Officer: And it's not very pleasant sometimes.-Cathy: That doesn't worry me either. Mum's right. I do look after sick animals. I looked after our dog when it was run over by a car. My mother was sick, but I didn't mind. I was too worriedabout the dog. Do you really think I could be a nurse?Officer: I think you could be a very good nurse. You'd have to leave home, of course.Cathy: I rather think I should enjoy that.Officer: Well, don't decide all at once. Here's some information about one or two other things which might suit you. Have a look through it before you make up your mind.Task 11【原文】I began my career during college, reporting on news stories at a Toronto radio station. The station’s program manager was also a professor who taught one of my classes. I convinced himthat she needed a youth reporter because that year was International Youth Year. After graduation, I took a job as a television news reporter and later, news anchor. But sports reporting was something different, so I decided to try it. Figure skating was my first assignment.I had two months until my new job began. It was like waiting an entire summer for school to start. I spent those two months talking to figure skating coaches and judges. I read boring rule books. I drove to the rinks where the skaters trained, and made notes about our conversations. I even took a lesson, which made some of the skaters laugh.欢迎下载11。

Unit 6-Conversation 1Janet: What are you reading, Kate?Kate:Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Do you know it?Janet: I've heard of it, yes, but I've never read it. It's a 19th century children's story, isn't it?K a te: That's right. It's very famous. It's set in Oxford. It starts with this young girl sitting on a river bank. The interesting thing is, the author, Lewis Carroll, he was an Oxford professor and he used to have tea with the girl's family on this river bank.Ja net: Oh, that's fascinating! I'll put it into my diary. Kate: Is that what you're writing? I know you've been keeping a diary all the year.Janet: It's been a great year. I've had such a good time — so lucky to have Mark and Kate as friends. Feel I've been doing well with work. Much happier about asking questions in tutorials.Janet: My screen's gone dark.Mark: You're using the battery, remember. It's run out, obviously.Janet: It can't be the battery. It's still charged. Oh no it's still black. Oh dear, I hope it's nothing serious. I haven't backed anything up recently.Kate: That's not like you, Janet.Janet:I know, but I lost my memory stick. I really should have backed things up. How stupid of me not to do that! Supposing I've lost everything!Mark: Let me take a look. The power is still on. And also the operating system still seems to be working ... I think it has to be the graphics card ... But maybe that's not the problem ... Janet: If only I'd backed things up!Kate: Relax, Janet! We'll take it to the computer shop this afternoon. I'm sure it'll be OK.Janet: I hope so.Unit 6-Conversation 2Janet: Tell me about Alice in Wonderland.Kate: I tell you what, I'll read it to you.Kate: Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: Once or twice, she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversation?" So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) ... Janet: Kate, Mark, where are you going? You've got my laptop!Kate: It's all right, Janet, we're taking it to the computer shop. We'll be back soon.Mark: It's not like Janet to forget to back up her work. Kate: She should have been more careful. Janet: It was stupid of me, I know! Stupid, stupid! Janet: Oh! It was a dream! What a relief!Kate: You were talking in your sleep.Janet: What was I saying?Kate: "Stupid, stupid."M ark:I've sorted out your computer.Janet: Have you? Oh, thank goodness! What was the problem?Mark:It was the graphics card, as I predicted ...Janet: Is that what it was! I'm so relieved! Thanks, Mark. Kate: He's great, isn't he?Janet: Yes. So are you, Kate.Kate: You're such a good friend.Unit 6-Outside viewComputers are a very important part of our lives. They tell us about delays to transport. They drive trains, analyze evidence and control buildings. Did you know that 60 per cent of homes in Britain have got a PC (a personal computer)? For many young people, playing computer games is their favorite way of spending spare time. Computers are a very important part of most areas of life in Britain-libraries, the police and in school. But they are becoming more important in our homes as well. They’ll even control the way we live-in “smart homes”or computer-controlled houses. The smart home is now a real possibility. It will become very common. A central computer will adjust the temperature, act as a burglar alarm and switch on lights, ready for you to come back home. And of course you will be able to give new instructions to the computer from your mobile phone. So if your plans change, your home will react to match. Many homes have got lots of televisions and several computers. The smart home will provide TV and Internet sockets in every room, so you’ll be able to do what you want whenever you want. If the temperature outside changes, the smart home will adjust the temperature levels inside. The computer will also close the blinds when it gets dark or to stop so much sun from entering a room. And if you want to eat when you get home, the computer will turn the oven on for you! Are computers taking over our lives? In a survey, 44 per cent of young people between 11 and 16 said their PC was a trusted friend. Twenty per cent said they were happier at their computer than spending time with family or friends. Another survey found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone, texting and reading emails that they no longer have time for conversation. What do you think about that?Unit 6-Listening inNews ReportUS Scientists have announced the discovery of gravitational waves, which are tiny waves produced by massive objectsmoving very quickly. Two black holes produced the waves when they crashed into each other about 1.3 billion years ago.A black hole is a place in space where the gravity is so strong that even light cannot escape. This announcement of the discovery comes a century after Albert Einstein first predicted gravitational waves would exist.The discovery was made possible by using a highly sensitive instrument designed to detect signals of gravitational waves and identify their sources. This discovery proves that there are gravitational waves, and strongly confirms the existence of black holes.With this discovery, scientists are given a new tool to study and understand the universe. The waves could help scientists learn more about what happened immediately after the universe began and how the universe expanded. Scientists hope that they may be able to observe parts of the universe that were previously undetectable.1.What discovery have US scientists made?2.What features do black holes have according to the newsreport?3.Why is the discovery important?Passage 1When you have a biscuit with your cup of tea, do you dunk it? And if so, what’s the perfect way to do it? That’s the subject of today’s Science in Action report. It may be hard to believe but scientists at the University of Bristol have been analyzing this question. And after a two-month study they devised a mathematical formula for dunking biscuits. So no more melting chocolate, or biscuit crumbs in the bottom of your cup, which is the fate of one in four biscuits that are dunked in tea, according to research by a biscuit manufacturer. Doughnut dunkers don’t face the same problems because doughnuts are held together with an elastic net of protein, gluten. This substance allows the doughnut to absorb liquid without breaking down its structure. The structure of a biscuit, however, is held together by sugar which melts when placed in hot tea or coffee.So what is the answer? The researcher, let by Dr. Len Fisher, discovered that holding the biscuit in a horizontal position – or “flat-on”– has a significant effect on the amount of time that a biscuit can stay in hot liquid before falling apart. In fact this horizontal dunking results in a dunking time up to four times longer than traditional vertical dunking.What’s the reason for this? It seems that the answer is related to diffusion, in other words, the length of time it takes for the liquid to penetrate the structure of the biscuit. Basically, it takes longer for the liquid to travel through the channels of a biscuit when it is laid flat on the surface of the liquid. Also the fact that when a biscuit is dunked horizontally, with the biscuit submerged in the liquid, and the chocolate coating staying out of the liquid, the chocolate helps hold the biscuit together. Another factor influencing the equation is the temperature of the tea – the hotter the tea, the faster the sugar melts.Researchers also found that by dunking a biscuit into tea or coffee, up to ten times more flavor is release than it the biscuit is eaten dry. So it’s worth experimenting yourself. If you are wondering how you can perfect the horizontal dunk, the researchers have come up with an idea for a biscuit-holding device to make dunking biscuits easier. They are even mow working on producing a table giving guidelines on dunking times for different types of biscuit. On that note, I think it’s time to go off to the canteen for a tea break! Passage 2Peter: Hey Louise, look at this book about crop circles - some of the photos are absolutely unbelievable. Louise: You don t believe in all that stuff, do you Peter? Peter: I'm not saying I believe in UFOs and things, but some of the formations are fascinating. They’remade up of lots of interconnected circles andgeometrical shapes. You know, in the past few years,there have been more reports of them. The circlesare getting larger and the designs are getting moreintricate... I'm sure that they can't all be man-made.Think about it - they're so complicated, and theyappear at night in the middle of fields of wheatbarley or corn. It’s definitely pretty weird! Louise: I know, but l saw a TV documentary about it, and they showed how a group of hoaxers made anelaborate crop circle in a field at night usingwooden plank, ropes, plastic tubes and a gardenroller. They even fooled some of the people whobelieve in the paranormal-aliens coming down inUFOs and aliens coming down in UFOs andcreating them, and so on.Peter: I'm sure lots of them are created by people just to get publicity but look here-it says, “The firstrecords of crop circles go back as far as the 17thcentury. Since the 1970s there have been over12,000 reports from countries all around the worldincluding Italy, America, South Africa, Australiaand Brazil.” Most reports are from here in Englandthough.Louise: But surely that’s just because they get so muchmedia coverage these days, so more people aremaking them.Peter: Perhaps, but how do you explain the fact that the actual chemical composition of the grains of corpsinside the circles changes? Scientific tests havefound they have a higher protein level. The stems ofthe grains have often been exposed to hightemperatures. And they found that the soil withinthe circles contains more iron than the soil outside.So far, the hoaxers haven't been able to copy allthese features.Louise: Well, I'm not a scientist but I'm pretty sceptical about all these so-called paranormal explanations. Iremember in the programme I watched, theresearchers found signs of human interference, suchas holes in the earth and footprints!Peter: Come on… you must admit, that still leaves a lot which is unexplained!Louise: There's lots of things that are hard to explain but this really...。

She’d be mad if I came home in a skirt like that.Girl 1: Let’s both got one; then maybe your mom wouldn’t be so upset if we both wore the same skirt.Girl 2: Well…maybe.1.D2. The first girl(The girl who suggests wearing the short skirt.)Dialog 2Mother: Lily, where did you get that skirt? You can’t wear that. It’s much too short! What will others think?Lily: You don’t understand fashion. It’s what everyone is wearing. I think it looks very attractive.Mother: Nonsense, it’s only suitable for a supermodel on the catwalk.

They deign trends and create new styles. Paris has been the traditional center of world fashion, though recently British designers have had great influence in setting new styles, and so have certain designers in the United States and Italy. French designers guard the secrets of their new designs until their collections are shown to the public. Then pictures of the styles are published in newspapers and magazines all over the world. People from many countries travel to Paris to buy the clothes and copy the newest ideas. In January they go to see the spring clothes; and in July, to see the autumn designs. Many dress manufacturers from other countries buy the original clothes of the famous French designers. They then take them back to their own sewing rooms, where the clothes are copied and made up in great numbers. That’s why you may be able to buy in your town the clothing that is in the latest style without paying a very high price for it. Other manufacturers use the Paris styles simply as a starting point for their own ideas. Still others may adapt only a part of the French design into their own styles.1.

If you want to be a model, you should know the basic rules. Girls are usually picked to be models when they are between 15 and 22 years old. Ideally, they are tall, long-legged, and thin. The minimum height is about 5’8”, and the average weight is 108-125 pounds. A few other important things for a fashion model are clear skin, healthy hair, straight teeth, and a well-shaped body. You’ll also need ambition, intelligence, confidence, independence, and will-power.If you’ve got the right looks but are worried over not being tall enough or fit enough, Kimi is the answer. Kimi is the magic key to developing your fashion model potential. Kimi is a computer-designed stimulator. It massages your feet to stimulate a part of your brain that produces more growth hormones. This will give you the fashion model kind of height. You should also go in for some sports like running or basketball. These increase the benefits of using Kimi.Make an important decision today. Order Kimi right now! Don’t you think having the hegith and shape of a fashion model would be wonderful? Yes, Kimi helps you realize your dream.1.D2.B3.A4.B5.CTop fashion models…..earning large salariesFuture models…..being at least 5’8” tallKimi…………..massaging one’s feetA part of the brain……producing growth hormones directlyCustomers…….buying KimiIV.

I think it’s stupid of women to wear clothes like that.Laura:I didn’t see anything wrong with the clothes; they looked pretty nice to me.John:Do you really think people can wear that stuff and walk around the streets?Laura: Yes, I do. At least, some people certainly can. They wear high-fashion clothes to show off their sense of style and wealth.John:Well, I still think they’re dumb. It makes more sense to spend the money on more practical purposes.Now Your TurnA: What did you think of the low-cut dress at the fashion show yesterday evening?B: I think it’s not decent for Chinese girls to wear a dress like that.A: The dress seemed quite al right to me.

Some people wear high-fashion clothes to show off their sense of style as wealth.B: Well, I still think low-neck dresses are wrong. It would be better to spend the money on high-quality, traditional clothes.Model 2 I’m looking for a light jacket.Salesman: What can I do for you?John:I’m looking for a light jacket.Salesman: Please come this way; they’re just over here.

How about the blue one?B: No, I don’t like the color. Thanks.V. Let’s TalkThe MiniskirtMary Quant was a famous dress designer in the 1960s. Her main contribution to fashion history was the miniskirt. During the 1960s many young people were starting to think women could do more in life than be wives and mothers. Clothes became a weapon in the battle between generations. Anything different and daring was soon popular. During this period miniskirts attracted the world’s attention. It was teenagers and very young girls who bought short shirts that displayed their legs. Ms. Quant said that at her fashion shop, young women began demanding shorter and shorter skirts. “If I didn’t make them short enough, the girls that had wonderful legswould take scissors and shorten the skirts themselves.” She said. Eventually, Ms. Quant’s skirts, which arrived in the United States in the mid-60’s, were reduced to about five inches. In parts of Europe and North America the miniskirt represented loose morals. Members of the older generation believed good girls would never appear in miniskirts. But in Ms. Quant’s opinion, short skirts worn with heavy pantyhose would make the girl look childlike. Lately, feminists have come to see mini as a symbol of women’s liberation, as a powerful weapon against the traditional stereotype of the woman simply as wife and mother.1.D2.D3.A4.C5.BVI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Paying for the New ClothesDaughter: Mom, I need some new clothes. Everything I have is out of date. The new semester will be starting soon—can we go shopping?Mother:You have a closet full of clothes that are still in very good condition. Your father and I already have to pay you university tuition…and there’re the books too.Daughter: But everyone else will be wearing the latest Levis. And I will look stupid wearing the same old skirts I wore in high school. They are so long. People will think I came formthe middle ages.Mother:But…Daughter: Maybe I could get a part-time job to help pay for the new clothes.Mother:No, you need to study. But university is a new experience…maybe we can look for something not too expensive.Daughter: Wonderful, at least we can have a look.The daughter wants to buy new clothes, but the mother disagrees, saying she still has a lot of clothes in good condition and the parents have to pay for the university tuition. The daughter argues that she needs clothes in fashion, so as not to look as if she had come form the middle ages. The daughter then suggests getting a part-time job to cover the expenses. Not wanting to affect the daughter’s studies, the mother finally agrees to buy new clothes.Task 2: A Model’s Description of Her WorkBefore the fashion show started, we had a rehearsal. In a small room we were each given a space.A dresser got us into the fashion clothes, then an assistant checked that the style was right—the correct number of buttons undone, the trousers pulled to the right height. Once dressed, we queued up in order by the door. The fashion designer checked that the clothing was as the he wanted. The music started, and we went out. We posed for the photographers, turned and walked back. It was a breeze. I walked back into the room, too excited to realize I was meant to hurry. In the few steps from the door you can throw off quite a few layers of clothing. By failing to do so, I almost missed my next turn.At 8:30p.m., with the audience in place, we were back in the clothes. We went out again, to a full house. The music was loud, but clear. You could hear the talking—fashion shows are not theatre, and people don’t keep quiet. Journalists discuss what to write about; buyers discuss whether they can make a profit from the clothes. And although you have been chosen for your looks that are suitable for certain dresses, as a model, you are just an advertisement for the designer. So youwalk through conversations, unable to stop or react. You are not a creative human being, just a smiling doll.1.T2.F3.T4.F5.FTask 3: Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka-dot BikiniShe was afraid to come out of the lockerShe was as nervous as she could beShe was afraid to come out of the lockerShe was afraid that somebody would seeOne, two, three, four, tell people what she woreIt was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikiniThat she wore for the first time today.An itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikiniSo in the locker she wanted to stay.Two, three, four, stick around we’ll tell you moreShe was afraid to come out in the openAnd so a blanket around her she woreShe was afraid to come out in the openAnd so she sat bundled up on the shoreTwo, three, four, tell the people what she wore…SpeakingBuying an Expensive DressNancy: Your new low-cut dress is wonderful.Jill: Thank you, Nancy.

Leslie: could practice foreign languages2. Arthur: learned to work quickly3. Nima: learned to work on computers4. Anna: had many chances to skiScript1. Leslie: I worked in an accessories shop in the middle of London. I used to work on Fridays and Sundays. It was quite tiring – I was on my feet the whole time.

Arthur: I finally got a promotion at the fast food place. I was allowed to work the cash register, which was challenging because it had many pictures. It’s for people who couldn’t read or write who wanted to work as cashiers.

Perhaps you could tell me a little bit about your education.Miss Jones: Oh yes. I left school at 18 and for the first two years I went to Gibsons.They’re an engineering firm. And after that, I did a one-year full-time PA course and went back to Gibsons. I was PA to the Export Director. I stayed there for two years and then moved on to my present company. That’s Europa Marketing.And I’ve been with them for three years now, first working with the Marketing Director and now I’m with the Sales Director.Interviewer: That’s all very interesting, Miss Jones. I’d like to know what was the course that you enjoyed most at school?Miss Jones: Foreign languages. We did French and German.Interviewer: And are you quite fluent in those languages now or ...?Miss Jones: Yes, a bit rusty now, but obviously the more travel I can do the moreI can use my languages and I’d like to learn another language. I’d like toadd Italian as well.Interviewer: Italian?Miss Jones: Yes.Interviewer: Very good, that might be very useful. Now tell me a little bit about the work you’re doing at present.Miss Jones: Well Europa Marketing is a marketing and public relations company and they do consultancy work for companies operating in the UK and European markets.Our clients come from all over the world. I assist the sales director by arranging these visits, setting up meetings and presentations and I deal with her correspondence. I’ve not been able to go with her on any of her trips abroad, but I’ve been to the firms in this country, several times on my own to make these arrangements.Interviewer:It sounds as if you’re very happy there, Miss Jones. I’m curious why you’d like to leave them and join our company.Miss Jones: Well I know Anglo-European has a very good reputation. And I feel thatI would have more scope and opportunity in your company and that the work willbe more challenging for me. I might be able to travel and use my languages because at the moment most of my work is rather routine secretarial-type work and I like the idea of more challenges in my life really ...B.Interviewer: Good morning, Miss ...Miss Jones: Miss Jones.

I did a one-year full-time PA course and went back to Gibsons. I was PA to the Export Director.I stayed there for another two years and ... and then I moved on to my presentcompany.

Do they immediately rush into the room, grab a chair without being invited to sit down? Are they nervous? Do they spend a lot of time fiddling with their hands, brushing their hair back, holding their pen, tapping it on the table? Obviously everyone is nervous at interview and you make allowances for that, but if it continues throughout the whole interview then you have to ask yourself what will they be like in a normal job?Second thing that I look for is: Do they look at you? Do they make eye contact? Because if they won’t look at you in a job which depends on making a good impression, then probably in the job they won’t do very well in terms of making contact and having good relations with other colleagues. The sort of person normally we would look for would be someone who was, open, outgoing, enthusiastic and who could talk intelligently about what they had done and what they hoped to do. That doesn’t mean that they have to have had a lot of experience but that they should be able to reflect on whatever experience they’ve had.The other kinds of things that we might talk about in an interview of course are what the person expects to get from a new job, and I think that it is important because it shows the expectations that the person has-what they want from their job. It’s interesting to hear why people want to change jobs.B... But as important as qualifications are, and you won’t get to an interview or at least people won’t get to an interview without the qualifications, the most important thing in fact is the character and how a person presents themselves at interview. I find it very difficult to define exactly the sort of person I am looking for, but when I meet someone I can tell whether they are the sort of person that I would like to appoint or whether they are not.At interview the first thing that I notice is how the person settles down, when they sit down.

Um it’s interesting to hear why people want to change jobs, why they want to go to a new country.Part V Who’ll Get the Job?(Jane Langley is being interviewed by Mrs. Grey, the Personnel Manager, and Mr. Toms. )Mr. Toms: Yes, I see. Good. Good.Mrs. Grey: Miss Langley, I see that your last employer, Mr. Carmichaes, described you as “conscientious”. Do you think you are?Jane: Well, I certainly try to be. I have a set routine for the day in the office which means that I know exactly all the jobs that I have to do. And if conscientious means being exrtemely careful and paying attention to detail, then yes, I suppose I’m conscientious.Mr. Toms: But he said too that you could ‘adapt quickly to change’. Did you leave because they were making changes, or what?Jane: No, not at all. They made a lot of changes while I was there. I’m afraid I became unhappy because I wanted something more challenging.Mrs. Grey:I assume you wanted something like the job of Senior Secretary that we’re offering.Jane: Yes, that’s right.(Michael James is being interviewed now by the same two people. )Mrs. Grey: ...and according to your last employer, Mr. Smith, you ‘tend to be a little impatient at times’.Michael:Well, perhaps I am, perhaps I’m not. Some of the others in the office there were so slow!Mr. Toms: Yes, yes. I like a person who wants to get on with the job.Mrs. Grey: Mr. James, what I’d like to know is ...Mr. Toms:Excuse me, Mrs. Grey, but I wanted to ask Mr. James about his sport. You’rea keen footballer, I understand.Michael: Oh, yes. I play regularly twice a week. And I organised a team at my old place.Mr. Toms: And golf, too, I gather.Michael:Yes. Actually, I like golf better than football really. That’s why I play nearly every morning ...(Mrs. Grey and Mr. Toms are now discussing Jane and Michael after the interviews.)Mrs. Grey: ... so in my view, when you compare the two of them —and this has nothing to do with Jane being a woman — I’d give the job to Jane Langley. She’s obviously a better secretary than he is, she’s a much better typist, she mixes better with people and is clearly far more polite. We don’t even need to discuss Mr. James.Mr. Toms: Well, we do, because I think he’s brighter than Miss Langley. I know he doesn’t dress as well or speak as clearly, and he’s not as experienced as she is, but he’s quicker, more alert. And he’s keen on football and golf. I like that. So he gets the job.Mrs. Grey: No, I’m sorry, Mr. Toms. He doesn’t.Mr. Toms: Yes, he does, Mrs. Grey. He’s the Director’s nephew.。

Are you fed up of traveling to work on packed commuter trains? Are you tired of being sat in endless traffic queues? Well, now there's an alternative. More and more people are choosing to live abroad and commute to their jobs in Britain like this. It's cheap houses in Europe and budget flights that are changing the way we live. We're following some of the lucky people who've moved across the channel but still earn their living here. They're Britain's dream commuters.

No time for shopping with these guys.P: So why did you decide to make this move in the first place?JS: Er, we basically decided to move to France for the better quality of life. We thought ... we looked on the Internet, uh, we saw properties available much cheaper than in Britain. We were fed up with the commuting and the traffic.P: But what's the cost of the commute?JS: When I book the flights early enough, I'm paying something like 38 pounds return.P: Justin's life is in a village in southwest France, an hour's drive from Toulouse Airport and over 700 miles from his Hampshire office.JS: Honey.RS: Daddy's home.JS: Where's Georgie?RS: She's asleep.JS: She's asleep.RS: So, how was the flight?JS: Oh, not too bad.

Effective Study Habits:- Establish a dedicated study space: Find a quiet and well-lit area where you can concentrate and minimize distractions.- Plan a study schedule: Create a timetable that includes specific time slots for studying different subjects or topics.- Set goals: Clearly define what you want to achieve and break down your study tasks into manageable chunks.- Use active learning techniques: Engage in activities like summarizing information, creating flashcards, or teaching the material to someone else.- Take regular breaks: Allow yourself short breaks every hour or so to rest and recharge your brain.2. Note-Taking Strategies:- Cornell Method: Divide your note paper into three sections - a narrow left column for cues and main ideas, a larger right section for detailed notes, and a bottom space to summarize the main points.- Mind Mapping: Use visual diagrams to connect ideas and concepts, starting with a central topic and branching out into subtopics.- Outline Method: Organize your notes hierarchically, using headings and subheadings to capture the structure of theinformation.- Annotation: Write additional comments, questions, or reactions in the margins of your notes to aid comprehension and stimulate thinking.3. Time Management:- Prioritize tasks: Identify the most important and urgent tasks and tackle them first.- Break tasks into smaller steps: Dividing larger tasks into smaller, more manageable steps can make them less overwhelming.- Use a planner or digital tools: Keep track of assignments, deadlines, and upcoming exams using a planner, calendar app, or other digital tools.- Avoid procrastination: Start early and spread your workload evenly to avoid last-minute cramming and stress.4. Active Reading Techniques:- Preview the material: Skim through the headings, subheadings, and any graphics or illustrations to get an overview of the content. - Highlight key information: Use colored markers or underlining to mark important ideas or concepts.- Take margin notes: Write down questions, thoughts, or summaries in the margins to enhance comprehension and engagement with the material.- Review and reflect: After reading a section or chapter, take a few minutes to review and summarize the main points in your own words.5. Preparation for Exams:- Review your notes regularly: Consolidate your learning byreviewing your class notes and supplementing them with additional resources.- Practice past exams or sample questions: Familiarize yourself with the format and types of questions that could be asked.- Create a study group: Collaborate with classmates to discuss and explain difficult concepts, solve problems, and quiz each other.- Get enough rest: Ensure you have adequate sleep before an exam to enhance concentration and cognitive function.Remember, everyone's study habits and preferences may vary, so it's important to find the techniques and strategies that work best for you. Keep trying different methods and approaches until you find your optimal study routine.。

Now, you’d like to join our team, I gather.Miss Jones: Yes, I would.Interviewer: That’s very good. I’d like to know a little bit about you. Perhaps you could tell me a little bit about your education.Miss Jones: Oh yes. I left school at 18 and for the first two years I went to Gibsons. They’re an engineering firm. And after that, I did a one-year full-time PA course and went back to Gibsons. I was PA to the Export Director. I stayed there for two years and then moved on to my present company. That’s Europa Marketing. And I’ve been with them for three years now,first working with the Marketing Director and now I’m with the Sales Director.Interviewer: That’s all very interesting, Miss Jones. I’d like to know what was the course that you enjoyed most at school?Miss Jones: Foreign languages. We did French and German.Interviewer: And are you quite fluent in those languages now or ...?Miss Jones: Yes, a bit rusty now, but obviously the more travel I can do the more I can use my languages and I’d like to learn another language. I’d like to add Italian as well.Interviewer: Italian?Miss Jones: Yes.Interviewer: Very good, that might be very useful. Now tell me a little bit about the work you’re doing at present.Miss Jones:Well Europa Marketing is a marketing and public relations company and they do consultancy work for companies operating in the UK and European markets. Our clients come from all over the world. I assist the sales director by arranging these visits, setting upmeetings and presentations and I deal with her correspondence. I’ve not been able to go with her on any of her trips abroad, but I’ve been to the firms in this country, several times on my own to make these arrangements.Interviewer: It sounds as if you’re very happy there, Miss Jones. I’m curious why you’d like to leave them and join our company.Miss Jones: Well I know Anglo-European has a very good reputation. And I feel that I would have more scope and opportunity in your company and that the work will be more challenging for me. I might be able to travel and use my languages because at the moment most of my work is rather routine secretarial-type work and I like the idea of more challenges in my life really ...B.Interviewer: Good morning, Miss ...Miss Jones: Miss Jones.

I did a one-year full-time PA course and went back to Gibsons. I was PA to the Export Director. I stayed there for another two years and ... and thenI moved on to my present company. Um ... that’s Europa Marketing ... um ... Mr. Adair, themarketing director, offered me a job because Gibsons had ... had worked quite a lot with Europa Marketing.

Do they immediately rush into the room, grab a chair without being invited to sit down?Are they nervous? Do they spend a lot of time fiddling with their hands, brushing their hair back, holding their pen, tapping it on the table? Obviously everyone is nervous at interview and you make allowances for that, but if it continues throughout the whole interview then you have to ask yourself what will they be like in a normal job?Second thing that I look for is: Do they look at you? Do they make eye contact? Because ifthey won’t look at you in a job which depends on making a good impression, then probably in the job they won’t do very well in terms of making contact and having good relations with other colleagues. The sort of person normally we would look for would be someone who was, open, outgoing, enthusiastic and who could talk intelligently about what they had done and what they hoped to do. That doesn’t mean that they have to have had a lot of experience but that they should be able to reflect on whatever experience they’ve had.The other kinds of things that we might talk about in an interview of course are what the person expects to get from a new job, and I think that it is important because it shows the expectations that the person has-what they want from their job. It’s interesting to hear why people want to change jobs.B... But as important as qualifications are, and you won’t get to an interview or at least peoplewon’t get to an interview without the qualifications, the most important thing in fact is the character and how a person presents themselves at interview. I find it very difficult to define exactly the sort of person I am looking for, but when I meet someone I can tell whether they arethe sort of person that I would like to appoint or whether they are not.At interview the first thing that I notice is how the person settles down, when they sit down.Do they immediately rush into the room, grab a chair without being invited to sit down?

Obviously everyone is nervous at interview and you make allowances for that, but if it continues throughout the whole interview then of course youhave to ask yourself if they’re like this after, say, an hour of interview, what will they be like in a normal job?Second thing that I look for is: Do they look at you?

Um it’s interesting to hear why people want to change jobs, why they want to go to a new country.Part V Who’ll Get the Job?(Jane Langley is being interviewed by Mrs. Grey, the Personnel Manager, and Mr. Toms. ) Mr. Toms: Yes, I see. Good. Good.Mrs. Grey: Miss Langley, I see that your last employer, Mr. Carmichaes, described you as “conscientious”. Do you think you are?Jane: Well, I certainly try to be. I have a set routine for the day in the office which means that I know exactly all the jobs that I have to do. And if conscientious means being exrtemely careful and paying attention to detail, then yes, I suppose I’m conscientious.Mr. Toms: But he said too that you could ‘adapt quickly to change’. Did you leave because they were making changes, or what?Jane: No, not at all. They made a lot of changes while I was there. I’m afraid I became unhappy because I wanted something more challenging.Mrs. Grey: I assume you wanted something like the job of Senior Secretary that we’re offering. Jane: Yes, that’s right.(Michael James is being interviewed now by the same two people. )Mrs. Grey: ...and according to your last employer, Mr. Smith, you ‘tend to be a little impatient at times’.Michael: Well, perhaps I am, perhaps I’m not. Some of the others in the office there were so slow! Mr. Toms: Yes, yes. I like a person who wants to get on with the job.Mrs. Grey: Mr. James, what I’d like to know is ...Mr. Toms: Excuse me, Mrs. Grey, but I wanted to ask Mr. James about his sport. You’re a keenfootballer, I understand.Michael: Oh, yes. I play regularly twice a week. And I organised a team at my old place.Mr. Toms: And golf, too, I gather.Michael:Yes. Actually, I like golf better than football really. That’s why I play nearly every morning ...(Mrs. Grey and Mr. Toms are now discussing Jane and Michael after the interviews.)Mrs. Grey: ... so in my view, when you compare the two of them — and this has nothing to do with Jane being a woman —I’d give the job to Jane Langley. She’s obviously a better secretary than he is, she’s a much better typist, she mixes better with people and is clearly far more polite. We don’t even need to discuss Mr. James.Mr. Toms: Well, we do, because I think he’s brighter than Miss Langley. I know he doesn’t dress as well or speak as clearly, and he’s not as experienced as she is, but he’s quicker, more alert.And he’s keen on football and golf. I like that. So he gets the job.Mrs. Grey: No, I’m sorry, Mr. Toms. He doesn’t.Mr. Toms: Yes, he does, Mrs. Grey. He’s the Director’s nephew.。
