M: Certainly. Uh, you can either drop it off at my class or bring it to my office.
W: Would it be alright to come by your office around 4:00？ It's impossible to come any earlier because I have three dames this afternoon.
M: Uh, I won' t be here when you come; I'm supposed to be at a meeting from 3 to 6, but how about leaving it with my secretly？ She usually stays until 5:00.

B: I think I always wanted to be a nurse. I wanted to work with people and help them. I didn't want to work in an office all day. And I liked the fact that nursing is a very important job.
A: What qualities should a nurse have？
B: First, nurses must be clever, and also practical. They should be able to think for themselves. But they must be able to work well in a team. But I think the most important quality is to be able to laugh at things, and not get too worried.
A: What kind of training have you had？
B: Well, my training bad three parts: they were Nursing, The Patient and Illnesses. The course was a mixture of theory and practice. We had one week of theory, followed by eight weeks of practice in a hospital. We mainly learned through practice. And it's hard work doing all that studying!
A: Well, now, what don't you like about your job？
B: Well, first, it's very hard work. We work 37. 5 hours a week. But we often have to do extra work, because there aren't enough nurses in the hospital The next problem is night duty. Working all night is very tiring and difficult. It's also difficult to change from sleeping at night to sleeping during the day. The third problem, of course, is that you get very low pay for the hard work. Oh, finally, it's very hard during your training because you have to study when you are tired.

SECTION B INTERVIEW
Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. Questions 1 to 5 are based on an interview. At the end of the interview you will be given 10 seconds to answer each of the following five questions.
Now listen to the interview.
听力原文：Interviewer: I'm talking to Janet Holmes who has spent many years negotiating for several well-known national and multinational companies. Hello, Janet.
Janet: Hello.
Interviewer: Now Janet, you've experienced and observed the negotiation strategies used by people from different countries and speakers of different languages. So, before we come on to the differences, could I ask you to comment first of all on what such encounters have in common？
Janet: OK, well, I'm just going to focus on the situations where people speak English in international business situations.
Interviewer: I see. Now not everyone speaks English to the same degree of proficiency. So maybe that affects the situation？
Janet: Yes, perhaps. But that's not always so significant. Well, because, I mean, negotiations between business partners from different countries normally mean that we have negotiations between individuals who belong to distinct cultural traditions.
Interviewer: Oh, I see.
Janet: Well, every individual has a different way of performing various tasks in everyday life.
Interviewer: Yes, but, but isn't it the case that in a business negotiation they must come together and work together, to a certain extent？ I mean, doesn't that level out the style. of ... the style. of differences somewhat？
Janet: Oh, I'm not so sure. I mean, there are people in the so-called Western World who say that in the course of the past 30 or 40 years a lot of things have changed a great deal globally, and that as a consequence national differences have diminished or have got fewer, giving way to some sort of international Americanized style.
Interviewer: Yeah, I've heard that. Now some people say that this Americanized style. has acted as a model for local patterns.
Janet: Maybe it has, maybe it hasn't. Because, on the one hand, there does appear to be a fairly unified, even uniform. style. of doing business, with certain basic principles and preferences -- you know, like ' time is money', that sort of thing. But at the same time it's very important to remember that we all retain aspects of our national characteristics -- but it is actually behaviour that we're talking about here. We shouldn't be too quick to generalize that to national characteristics and stereotypes. It doesn't help much.
Interviewer: Yeah, you mentioned Americanized style. What is particular about the American style. of business bargaining or negotiating？
Janet: Well, I've noticed that, for example, when Americans negotiate with people from Brazil, the American negotiators make their points in a direct self-explanatory way.
Interviewer: I see.
Janet: While the Brazilians make their points in a more indirect way.
Interviewer: How？
Janet: Let me give you an example. Brazilian importers look the people they're talking to straight in the eyes a lot. They spend time on what for some people seems to be background information. They seem to be more indirect.
Interviewer: Then, what about the American negotiators？
Janet: An American style. of negotiating, on the other hand, is far more like that of point making: first point, second point, third point, and so on. Now of course, this isn't the only way in which one can negotiate. And there's absolutely no reason why this should be considered the best way to negotiate.
Interviewer: Right. Americans seem to have a different style, say, even from the British, don't they？
Janet: Exactly. Which just shows how careful you must be about generalizing. I mean, how else can you explain how American negotiators are seen as informal and sometimes much too open？ For in B
A．English language proficiency
B．different cultural practices
C．different negotiation tasks
D．the international Americanized style
M: I'm sorry I'm late, Janet. It has been a real mess this morning. I didn't think I was going to make it here at all.
W: But why are you late？ You know our whole presentation depends on the graphs you're holding.
M: Yes, I'11 tell you later about it. Thank God. There are still two groups ahead of us. The one being giving now is on the rights of the consumer and analysis of the stock market.
W: Yes. But James! You do look cold! You are shivering! What happened？
M: I've been standing outside in freezing temperature for over an hour, waiting for the bus.
W: Over an hour？ But isn't your apartment only a ten-minute bus ride to our school？
M: Yes. But the bus this morning was delayed because of the weather. And when I stepped into a drug-store to call home for a ride, the bus went by. And there was no one at home! So I had to wait another 40 minutes for the next bus to come.
W: That's too bad, isn't it？
M: Yeah. Well, Janet, we'd better stop talking. People are turning around and looking at US.
(23)
A．Taking an exam.
B．Having a class discussion.
C．Giving presentation.
D．Drawing graphs.
M: No, certainly not. Nor shall we name her after eleven hockey players if she's a girl.
W: But choosing even one name is difficult. Which names have you thought of？
M: Helen wants to call the child John after me. I don't want to. My name is too plain.
W: And if a girl comes, you won't like plain Jane any better. What about Jonathan or Janet？
M: Every Jonathan I know is called Jon for short, so that's no good. Helen's an opera-lover. So we might call a daughter Carmen.
W: You could name a boy after a poet. How would you like to know someone called Dante Brown, Shakespeare Robinson or Keats Thompson？
M: Those names are old-fashioned. But up-to-date names can be worse. Some people call their children after film stars or pop stars. How dreadful to be christened Clint, Elvis, Rod or Ringo!
W: Lots of children hate the names they have been given. Why not give a child a number instead？ Then he can exchange his number for a name of his own choice when he is old enough to decide himself what he would like to be called.
What is the conversation mainly about？
A．Choosing names for children.
B．Family names.
C．Up-to-date names.
