听力原文:W: Hi, Tom.
M: Kate, I haven't seen you for weeks. Where have you been?
W: In Florida.
M: What? Vacationing while the rest of us have been studying on the campus in the February cold?
W: Not exactly. I spent most of my time underwater.
M: I don't understand.
W: I was on a special field trip. I went with my marine biology class.
M: So you went scuba diving. What were you looking for, sunken treasure?
W: You might say so. The sea is full of treasures. All kinds of strange, fascinating organisms. Our class concentrated on studying plankton.
M: I thought they were too small to be seen.
W: That's a common misconception. The plankton covers a wide variety of freely floating plants and animals. From one-celled organisms to large ones, such as the common jelly fish.
M: Jelly-fish may be large enough to be seen. But they are transparent, aren't they?
W: Yes, most floating plants and animals have transparent tissues. It makes them practically invisible to their enemies.
M: But not invisible to your biology class, I hope.
W: By concentrating, I was able to see the outlines of lots of different plants and animals, In fact, our professor even took photo of some small oceanic snails.
M: How would the snails show up in the photo if they are transparent?
W: We painted them with a harmless green dye. Since particles of the dye stuck to the tissues, the snails appeared in a green outline in the photos.
M: That sounds like an interesting trip.
W: It really was.
M: But I think if I had been there, I'd much rather have spent my time just swimming and lying in the sun.

听力原文:W: Good morning.
M: Morning, can I help you?

W: Oh dear. We just moved, you see, and everything has my old address.
M: A driving licence, perhaps?
W: No, I don' t drive.
M: Your husband' s would do.
W: Yas, but his licence will stir have the old address on it.
M: Perhaps you have a letter addressed to you at your new house?
W: No, I' m afraid not. We' ye only been there a few days you see and no one' s written to us yet.
M: What about your bank book?
W: That' s just the same. Oh dear, and I did want to get some books out this weekend. We' re going on holiday to relax after the move, you see, and I wanted to take something with me to read.
M: Well, I' m sorry, but we can' t possibly issue tickets without some form. of identification. What about your passport?
W: What? Oh yes, how silly of me. I've just got a new one and it does have our new address. I' ve just been to book our tickets se I have it on me. Just a minute. Here you are.
M: Thank you. Well, that' s all right. Now if you' d like to ge and choose your books your tickets will be ready for you when you come back to the desk to have them stamped out.
W: Oh, thank you. Er, how many books am I allowed to take out?
M: You can take four books out at a time and you also get two tickets to take out magazines or periodicals. Newspapers, I' m afraid can' t be taken out; they have to be read here.
W: Oh that's fine. Thank you very much.

听力原文:W: Oh, Larry, I have been meaning to talk to you.
M: Hi, Jenis. What's up?
W: I have this great job lined up to manage the clothing store at the mall.
M: So what's the problem?
W: Well, one of the professors in my department just told me about a summer internship program that's available. She thinks I might be able to intern in the office of the Way fare Hotel here in town.
M: That sounds like a great opportunity too. Why not take advantage of it?
W: I'd love to, especially since I'm studying hotel management. It would be a great way to get some practical experience in my field.
M: And you never know, it might lead to something with them after graduation. They are on of the biggest hotel chains in the area.
W: You're right. But the drawback is I wouldn't be making nearly as much money as I would be working in the clothing store, not to mention the discount I could get on clothes there.
M: How much is the internship paid?
W: They pay their internship a small stipend and give them free room and board for the sum- mer.

回答下列各题: How to Make Peace with Your Workload A)Swamped (忙碌的), under the gun, just struggling to stay above water...; whateveroffice cliche you employto depict it. weve all been in that situation where wefeel like we might be swallowed up by our workload.Nonetheless many a way maybe used to manage your to-do list to prevent feeling overwhelmed. How tomakepeace with your workload once and for all goes as follows. B)Getorganized. "Clear the deadwood outof your desk and keep your office in shape, which enhances yourcapability tohandle other tasks and raises the probability that youll retrieve the itemsyou do need in a fasterand easier fashion," says Jeff Davidson who worksas a work/life expert and writer of more than 50 books onworkplace issues."When something can be disposed, let i! go, given in reality most of whatyou retain isreplaceable." Joel Rudy, vice president of operations forPhotographic Solutions, with better than thirty yearsof business managementexperience, believes that keeping organized is a must. "Messy work areas arenonproductive insome measure. Provided that you cant locate a document or report easily becauseits lost in apile of mess, then you have a problematic situation," he says."Thereby you are supposed to take the time totidy up your work areas andkeep your important files, manuals and reports in an accessible location,whichwill maximize your efficiencies." C)Make ato-do list, then cover it up. It may sound weird, but it works, says JessicaCarlson, an accountexecutive at Bluefish Design Studio which is an advertisingconsulting firm. Carlson urges her team to utilizeto-do lists to stay on trackand highlight items that are a priority. "Cover up the list, with theexception of onehigh-priority task at one time," she suggests. "This will allow you to focus better onthe task at hand;otherwise, it will be easy to get overwhelmed if youre readingthrough a to-do list that spans an entire page.Concentrating on a single itemwill make your tasks appear like they are more doable," Carlson says. D)Stopmultitasking. Despite what you may consider multitasking, itscounterproductive. Unless youre drinkingcoffee while scanning your morninge-mails, youre not saving any time by attempting to do ten things atonce. "If you find yourself getting tangled intoo many things, it may be of much necessity of you to re-- evaluate yourinvolvement," Rudy says. "Your mind will wander from one topic toanother and you.may endup never accomplishing a thing." Rudy recommendsthe best way to stop multitasking is to create priority listswith deadlines."When applicable, complete one project before you move further on to thenext one," he says. E)Set timelimits. Deborah Chaddock-Brown, a work-at-home s.mgle parent, says shesfrequently overwhelmedby the demands of maintaining order in her residence andrunning her own business. Still, she manages to "doit all" by settinga time limit for each task. "I have the type of personality thatflits (轻轻地掠过)from thingto thing because I do have so much on my plate,"Brown says. "As a consequence I assign time slots: For thenext 15 minutesI will participate in Social media for the purpose of marketing mybusiness (not sendingphotos or playingFarmville)and that is the only thing I am about to do for the next 15 minutes.When thetime is up, I move on to the next task. That way, at night I dont endup with a pile of tasks to accomplish eventhough I felt busy all day." F)Talk toyour manager. "Quite often, peopleare working on things that are no longer a top priority, butsomeone forgot totell them (that theyre no longerimportant). There are usually clear priorities in themanagers head; he or shehas just not done a great job communicating those with the employee," saysHollyGreen, CEO of The Human Factor. Greens suggestion unfoldsin thismanner: "If you find yourselfconfrontedwith too many responsibilitieS, sit down, note the significantthings you are in charge of, and go toyour manager to have a conversation todiscuss priorities, trade-offs, timecommitments andinterdependencies required to do each thing well, and then ask whatyou should stop working on or work onless so you can get the right thingsdone." Greefi says managers should be willing to help sort out priorities,solong as employees have a can-do approach and arent just complaining abouttheir workload. G)Eliminatetime wasters. "If interruptions are l keeping you from yourresponsibilities, learn how to deal withthem accordingly," says EileenRoth, author of Organizing for Dummies. Roth proposes the followingsuggestionsto combat disruptions: "Use voicemail to cut down on telephone interruptions, turn offthe alertthat says "Youve got an e-mail and give staffmembers a set time to visit you." Justin Gramm, president ofGlobellaBuyers Realty, exemplifies Roths point. "E-mail had been a big time waster for me in the pastbecause it wasa constant interruption, causing me to lose focus on the task at hand," hesays. Sincedetermined to check his e-mails only twice a day, Gramm says he hasbecome much more efficient. "If peoplewant to get more work done, theyneed to stop checking e-mails and get down to business," he says. H)Assessyour workload before taking on new tasks. "The paradox of todays workenvironment is that the moreyou do, the more thats expected of you,"Davidson says. In order to better assess your workload, Davidsonsuggests askingyourself the following questions before agreeing to undertake newresponsibilities: Is the taskaligned (使一致)with your prioritiesand goals; Are you likely to be as prone to saying yes to such arequesttomorrow or next week; what else could you do that would be morerewarding; what other pressing tasks andresponsibilities are you likely toface; Does the other party have options other than you; Will he or shebecrushed if you say no? I)Want to know more? Most of our expertsrecommended books for additional tips on how to maximizeefficiency, but onebook was mentioned time and again. Check out The Seven Habits of HighlyEffectivePeople. "The more you do, the more you are expected to do" has been a paradoxin todays work environment.
