y of your social security number. We get that together, and we'll have you on our next payroll.

W Does this mean you're going to be taking taxes out of my check？ I was under the impression that I was being hired as an independent contractor.

M Oh, is that something Diane promised you？ I'm sorry, I just assumed you were going to be put on temporary payroll. Do you mind if I give her a quick call？

听力原文：M: Could we have a quick word about the sales conference？

W: Yes, of course. The venue's booked.

M: Good. And I've got some definite numbers now. There are 107 delegates.

W: That's OK. The auditorium holds 130, and I've booked two other rooms as well.

M: We need to sort out the program.

W: It's difficult to do that without knowing how many people are attending each talk. There is a conference room that holds 60 people and a meeting room that holds 30.

M: Well, everyone's going to Mr. Tananka’s presentation. He's giving the opening address. But I'll find out about the others. W: Would you also ask the speakers if they need any special equipment？

M: What have you got, then？

W: There are simultaneous translation facilities in the auditorium and there's a video projector in the conference room.

M: What about microphones and slide projects？

W: All the rooms have them.

M: Good.

W: What time would you like to start？

M: Nine, I think. Then we can fit two sessions in before lunch. What are we doing for lunch？ W: There's a bar for drinks and I thought we'd have a buffet.

M: Don't they do sit-down meals？

W: Yes. Would you prefer a sit-down meal, then？

M: I think so.

W: OK, I'll arrange it.

M: And I'll find out what equipment the speakers need.

Why can't the speakers sort out the program now？

A．Because they don't know how many people are coming to the conference.

B．Because they don't have enough time for detailed discussion now.

C．Because they don't know how many people are attending each talk.

D．Because they haven't booked enough rooms yet.

听力原文：W: Could you help me out with this presentation？

M: Sure. You're using your laptop, right？

W: Yes. Take a quick look and let me know what you think.

M: There's a lot of information on these slides. If there's too much, the audience will stop listening to you and become focused on reading them.

W: But there's so much that I need to say.

M: I'd suggest cutting down the number of words on each slide or increasing the number of slides. Or both!

W: Last time I gave a presentation to this group of people, a few said there wasn't enough information. I guess I'll have to increase the number of slides.

M: Don't have too many or you'll have to race through them to get the presentation finished in time. Use buzzwords instead of whole sentences.

W: Buzzwords？

M: You know. Don't say "It makes your company more efficient". Instead just say "In creases efficiency".

W: What do you think of the background？

M: Not bad, but a little dark for my taste. In my experience, younger, more junior people prefer brighter colours whereas higher-ups prefer... Well, dark blue, for example.

(20)

A．They give too much information.

B．They distract from the speaker.

C．People get tired of them.

D．They don't give enough information.

M: Don't forget I need it first thing in the morning. I have to take it along to Chicago to the regional meeting.

W: Don't worry, I'll get it done. My husband's on a business trip too. He's in Detroit today, and tomorrow he'll be in Boston. So I'm planning to stay late. After it's typed up I'll leave it on your desk. I should be finished by 8:00 pm.

M: I'm sorry to keep you so late.

W: It's all right, Mr. Black. I don't mind at all. Besides, I can use a little extra money. My husband's birthday is next month. I want to buy him a new watch.

M: What kind are you going to get him, a Bulova？

W: No. I thought I'd get a Rolex, or an Elgin. I don't really know much about watches.

M: I've got one of those Seiko digitals. I really like it.

W: Do you think my husband would like one like that？

M: I'm sure he would. The only problem is that it's a little bit heavy.
