SECTION A CONVERSATIONS
Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文:Mrs. Daniels: Oh, hello, you must be Tracey's parents?
Mr. Thompson: Er, yes. Are you her class teacher, Mrs. Daniels?
Mrs. Daniels: Yes, that's right. Now, just let me find my notes. (1[D])As you know I don't actually teach Tracey, but I do see her every day before classes begin. Is there anything you want to ask me?
Mr. Thompson: Well, yes. To be honest, we're a bit worried about her last report—she doesn't seem to be doing as well as she was.
Mrs. Daniels: Well now, let's see. Oh, yes, her math teacher says she's finding the work more difficult now that they're getting near to the exams.
Mr. Thompson: I was never good at math.
Mrs. Daniels: And Dr. Baker feels that Tracey isn't concentrating very hard in biology lessons.
Mr. Thompson: Oh, but she really likes biology and she's so good at drawing.
Mrs. Daniels: Yes, but even in art her teacher thinks she tends to spend too much time talking to her friends. In fact, several of her teachers have told me that she isn't giving in her homework: (2[C])Mr. Brock has complained to me that he hasn't had a single piece of geography homework from her all term.
Mr. Thompson: Yes, we don't know what to do about it. She doesn't seem to be interested in school any more.
Mrs. Daniels: I don't think we should give up on her. Tracey's a very intelligent girl. In English her marks are well above the average and her teacher says she always has a lot to say in lessons.
Mr. Thompson: Yes, that's part of Tracey's trouble. She talks too much.
Mrs. Daniels: Well, nevertheless oral skills are very important and if we can all guide her back to a more positive attitude to school work, she'll do very well.
Mr. Thompson: Well, I hope so. I'm very disappointed in her. She was doing so well, especially in English and French, and now everything seems to be going to pieces. She came bottom of the class in French this term.
Mrs. Daniels: Well, it's not because she can't do French she just prefers to that in English! At least she's doing well in sport. She's in the hockey team and you know we haven't lost a single match this year!
Mr. Thompson: Well, it's nice to know she does something well.
Mrs. Daniels: Oh, come on, Mr. Thompson, (3[A])let's look on the bright side.
What does Mrs. Daniels teach?
A.She teaches Tracey English.
B.She teaches Tracey math.
C.She teaches Tracey art.
D.She doesn't teach Tracey.
Mr. Jeffrey, in being named the ninth chief executive of Thompson since 1864, succeeds Peter A. Schweitzer, who will become chairman, a post that is now vacant. Mr. Schweitzer, 64, will also relinquish his duties as worldwide president to Michael Madel, now president for the Thompson operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Mr. Jeffrey, 50, will become the first Thompson chief executive to have spent most of his advertising career outside the agency. He joined Thompson five years ago as president of the flagship New York office; he came from the agency now known as Lowe & Partners Worldwide, part of the Interpublic Group of Companies, where he had been executive vice president and managing director for the San Francisco office. Mr. Jeffrey, who was also a founder of the Goldsmith/Jeffrey agency in New York, was promoted to his current post in 2001.
Mr. Madel, 53, will be the first Thompson worldwide president to be based outside New York, in this case London. Mr. Madel, who joined Thompson in 1990, adds responsibilities for the Asian-Pacific operations to the duties of his current post, to which he was promoted in 1997.
The changes come as Thompson, the largest agency in the United States in revenue--and No. 4 globally, behind Dentsu, McCann-Erickson Worldwide Advertising and BBDO Worldwide---confronts some daunting challenges.
While Thompson has recently gained additional assignments from clients like Pfizer, the agency has also lost some accounts from prominent marketers including the Miller Brewing Company division of SAB-Miller and Sun Microsystems. Thompson has had to shake up the ranks of senior managers at offices in cities like Chicago, Detroit and San Francisco to help reassure clients.
The agency stumbled in efforts to develop an entertainment marketing division, dismantling a unit based in New York named Content@JWT in favor of handling those tasks out of the Detroit office. And Thompson, like many large agencies, is deemed in need of improving its creative output, particularly as clients must deal with rapidly changing marketing and media trend.
The challenges include the rise of the finicky youthful consumer cohort known as Generation Y and the need to develop alternatives to traditional ad forms as consumers zip, zap and fast-forward television commercials. One task facing Mr. Jeffrey is to take the J. Walter Thompson creative product to an even higher 'level. Another is to ensure that communications solutions for clients are coordinated across all disciplines as effective as possible. This referred to the Thompson offerings in areas as disparate as advertising, entertainment marketing, interactive marketing, direct marketing and health care advertising. Mr. Jeffrey, in a separate interview, acknowledged the scale and scope of what he would face.
"If you watch the movie Catch Me if You Can set in the 1960's, you see the prominent brands are Pan Am and T.W.A.," Mr. Jeffrey said. "Forty years later, look at the airline industry. If you look at the ad industry, you could prognosticate something similar," he added. "If we don't get our acts together, that could be us."
It can be inferred from the passage that the advertisers that J. Walter Thompson works for are______.
A.of the highest quality
B.as old as J. Walter Thompson
C.advertisers of stock markets
D.advertisers of electric products
W: Oh, hello, Mr. Burns. This is Susan Thompson speaking. I'm glad you ring back so soon. There's a serious problem, I'm afraid. You know that order for 500 cases of Top Whiskey we put recently?
M: Oh, yes. I saw to it myself. What's the problem? Hasn't it arrived?
W: Well, in a way, but it's stuck at the customs. There's something wrong with the declaration, it seems. Some kind of omission or error.
M: Oh, really? That's strange. Do you know what it is?
W: Well, I only heard that some of the details were incomplete and the customs can't let the consignment through.
M: Ms. Thompson, I'll tell you what I'll do. Our forwarding agents are handling this delivery and they're generally very reliable. Er, let me just get on to them.
W: Yes, if you would. And can you let me know as soon as possible when I can have the Whiskey? Time's rather short and our customers are waiting for the wine, you know.
M: Of course. I'll see to it, Ms. Thompson, and if at all possible, you'll get a call today.
W: Well, getting the delivery today would suit me better. Oh, one other thing, I'm out of the office after 12 o'clock. If you call me after this time, would you leave a message with our switchboard operator? I'll tell her to expect your call.
M: Yes, I spoke to her before. I'll get things moving as quickly as I can.
W: Right. Thanks. Goodbye then, Mr. Burns.
M: Goodbye. You'll be hearing from us very soon.

Dear Mr. Thompson:
I have enclosed a copy of the evaluation that I was hired to prepare for the project "Improving Employee Performance." You will see that the evaluation is divided into three sections, as we agreed upon in our discussion: Employee Relations, Physical Environment, and Training Opportunities. The appendices include all forms and outlines of other methods used to gather information for the evaluation. I have attempted to present everything in as clear a manner as possible. If, however, you have any questions or desire any additional information, please don't hesitate to contact me.
I have enjoyed working with your law firm on this project and look forward to working with you again in the future.
Sincerely,
Amanda Guess
Consultant
