D.Yes. Although we believe our son is honest, he may not work hard enough as he says.
听力原文: My father was a very soft-spoken man, however, he had some very definite ideas about money and work. He believed that work was good for the soul and, besides, money could come in very handy. Papa also felt that the best way to get a job was to already have one.
As a teenager, I remember my father being delighted when my brother landed a job working for a major hamburger chain. My brother wasn't very happy about the job but desperately wanted the money necessary to buy his own ear. Although the position was as unglamorous as they come, my father felt that it was a good beginning. He believed that if you had a job, it would show other employers that you are worth hiring.
Even to this day, I never resign a position until I am offered another one. Papa's wise counsel has helped me to be gainfully employed ever since I graduated from college. Although papa died a few years ago,' his wisdom will be passed on to generation upon generation.

Dear Caroline,
It was lovely getting your letter two days ago. Thank you so much for it. You do seem to have had a good time on your holiday. I wish that I could have been with you. 1 was also very interested in what you have told me about your life and work in London.
I have also been on holiday. I was able to join some friends on a tour to the Philippines and we had a very good time there. We spent a few days in Manila, which is the capital, and then went to Baguio, a country town in the hills to the north of Manila. 1 usually save up as much money as 1 can in order to go away on holidays because Hong Kong is very hot and sticky during the summer. I plan to go to Thailand next year and 1 hope that one day 1 will be able to save enough money to go to Europe.
Now I restart my work and am very busy in the office. My boss is an American and although he is kind, he always gives me a lot of work to do. I have been working for my boss since 2007 and I am very happy with my job. I am very happy that we have been pen pals for nearly two years, do please write again soon and 1 will also do so very soon.
With love,
Lydia

To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Ethel Montgomery. My daughter purchased this Comfort Level E Bed for me last month, and I'm afraid that I do not find it comfortable. I prefer firm mattresses, but even the firmest setting is not as good as my old bed.
I understand that you have a 90-day money back guarantee. I know my daughter spent a lot of money on this adjustable bed, and since I am not comfortable on it, I would like to return it so she can get her money back.
I've had my old bed for 10 years, and it's the best bed that I've ever owned. There's nothing fancy about it, it's just a good bed.
Please let me know what I must do to return this bed.
Thank you,
Ethel Montgomery

Dear Ms. Montgomery,
Thank you for your purchase of the Comfort Level Bed. Although the level of firmness of our mattresses is adjustable, we understand that it is not the right mattress for everyone. I am sorry that you did not find it comfortable.
Sending the mattress is easy. We will take care of the shipping and handling completely. However, first we must verify your purchase was within the 90-day limit, which is standard for all our beds. To do so, we need you or your daughter to call us at 1-888-373-4829. Since we have records of every purchase made for the last 90 days, you will not need to provide a receipt. All you must do is give us the name and billing address of the purchaser, and we will be able to look up the information.
Thank you for testing the Comfort Level II Bed.
Sincerely,
Joel Manning
Comfort Level Representative

Benedetto Consulting Services
Riva Schiavoni 5321
Venice, Italy
Dear Sir/Madam:
I am interested in applying for the managing consultant position you have posted on your Web site. I believe that my background and experience make me an attractive candidate for your consideration.
After graduating from State University, I founded a small computer graphic-design company, Online Style. This company became increasingly successful over the years. I hold 65 percent of the shares and continue on its board of directors as chairperson, although I have relinquished my position as general manager and stepped down as CEO.
The agency I now direct, Business First, provides consulting services for companies interested in improving the effectiveness of their advertising. Despite the success of this new business venture, I am seeking at this time to relocate to Venice for personal reasons.
As you can see from the enclosed resume, I have a broad background in business development and marketing as well as advertising. Because of my diverse experience, I have developed strong skills in financial consulting. I have also acquired expertise in designing presentations for large audiences and planning successful business meetings.
I believe my skills and abilities fit the description of the person you are seeking. While I am knowledgeable about general business issues in both the domestic and international arenas, I will want to thoroughly understand those that are unique to your business, and I am confident that I can do so rapidly. One of your requirements, maintaining good community relations, happens to be one of my greatest strengths. I would be happy to provide you with names of people who can personally testify to this.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my skills could benefit your organization. Please find my telephone number and e-mail address in my resume. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Estelle Juti

听力原文: Hello, I am Harriet Smith. As the editor of The Voice, I'd like to introduce you to our campus daily. We need volunteers to assist us in keeping our student body informed through our newspaper.
Experiences are absolutely necessary, and writing and typing skills are also important. We need people to rewrite articles, to type and to proofread. We'd also need a good photographer. Although many of our staff members are journalism majors, we also have several engineers and pre-law students working for us. Since The Voice comes out five days a week, we need excellent students who know how to budget their time efficiently.
Good grades are a prerequisite for working on the paper. There is some money for salaries, depending on how involved you get with the paper, but don't expect to get rich. This isn't something for the money. Mostly it's just for fun.
Anyone who is interested in joining the staff should speak to me immediately after the meeting. Be prepared to start right away. The first issue goes to press tomorrow.

A.Pre-law students.
B.A group of students.
C.The audience.

Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. (76)Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects.
I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil, reading about other people's observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle(谜), because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.
But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of born worlds.
According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be______.
A.full of enthusiasm
B.self-disciplined
C.full of ambition
D.knowledgeable
