I: Tell me about yourself.
A: I was born and raised in Beijing.I attended Peking University and received my bachelor degree in Economics.I have worked for 2 years as a financial consultant in Beijing for China Pacific Insurance Co.Ltd.I enjoy playing tennis in my free time and learning foreign languages.
I: What type of position are you looking for7
A: I am looking for a position in which I can utilize my experience.
I: Are you interested in a full-time or part-time position?
A: I am more interested in a full-time position.However, I would also consider a part-time position.
I: Can you tell me about your responsibilities at your last job?
A: I advised customers on financial matters.After I consulted the customer, I completed a customer inquiry form and catalogued the information in our database.I then collaborated with colleagues to prepare the best possible package for the client.The clients were then presented with a summarized report on their financial activities that I formulated on a quarterly basis.
I: What is your greatest strength?
A: I am an excellent communicator.People trust me and come to me for advice.One afternoon, my colleague was involved with a troublesome customer who felt he was not being served well.I made the customer a cup of coffee and invited both my colleague and the client to my desk where we solved the problem together.
I: What is your greatest weakness?
A: I tend to spend too much time making sure the customer is satisfied.However, I began setting time-limits for myself.
I: Why do you want to work for our company?
A: After following your firm's progress for the last 3 years, I am convinced that your company is becoming one of the market leaders and I would like to be a part of that team.
I: When can you begin?
A: Immediately.
听力原文:W: It's fantastic to meet you here, John. I'm also your fan.
M: Thank you.
W: Before we start the interview, could you please sign my favourite CD for me?
M: My pleasure.
W: Tons of thanks. All these years, there must have been a lot of music companies asking you to join them.
M: Yes, you are right.
W: Then why did you choose Rock?
M: It was mainly because of their sincerity. They agreed that I do not need to do too many promotions, and they also give me freedom. Besides, I do mind whether the media only concentrate on how much money I earn when I sign a contract.
W: But isn't money important to you?
M: I think money for me is not the most important issue. Rock is a Taiwan-based company, but they make me, a Hong kong singer, feel .that I am yew important to them. They really touch me.
W: Also, you can see that they have put in effort into making singers' albums.
M: Yeah, the quality is quite high. If I were a consumer, I would buy a high-quality product.
W: Your point is well taken. However, not many fans in Hongkong know how to distinguish between good and bad music. Maybe your target market is not them.
M: I don't really care about the Hongkong market. I know it is very irresponsible to say this, but it is true. My next album is going to be a Mandarin one.
W: A Mandarin one?
M: Yeah. I was also very surprised when Rock approached me and asked me to concentrate on Mandarin albums. Previously, my songs were all in Cantonese. If you were the head of the company, would you ask me to produce Cantonese albums rather than Mandarin ones?
W: Of course, and the songs will be very commercialized, too.
M: It proves that Rock doesn't treat me as a money-making artist.
(23)
A.Rock allowed him much freedom.
B.Rock didn't treat him as a money machine.
C.Rock cooperated with him with great sincerity.
D.Rock didn't ask him to do much for promotions.
听力原文:W: What do you plan to order?
M: I think I'll have a salad and a cup of tea.
W: Is that all?
M: Yes, I'm on a diet, my doctor told me that I should lose some weight because I'm too heavy--and that's not healthy.
W: How do you feel?
M: I feel fine, in fact, I've never felt better. Furthermore, some of my old clothes would fit me if I lose about 40 pounds.
W: How long will that take you?
M: Well, I've just started my diet, so it may take me six months to get down to my proper weight.
W: Do you plan to eat nothing but salads for six months?
M: No, I'll be able to eat fruit and certain meats and dairy products, but most important, I should never eat anything between meals and I should not eat anything containing sugar.
W: Then you probably won't want to try the delicious pizza they serve here, I understand the head cook is good at making pizza.
M:Now that you mention it,I may have two or three of these delicious hot rolls,I usually have five or six.
(26)
A.At home.
B.At the woman's house.
C.On the street.
D.At a restaurant.
M: Not many I know. But I'm not sure yet which one to choose.
W: Well, you seem to have doubts about the state university. But its economics department has a fine reputation. What more could a economics major want?
M: Yeah. And they also have internships for seniors. But a friend told me that for the first two years some lectures have a hundred and fifty students. You probably wouldn't get to know any of your teachers.
W: Well, you might actually. Because those classes also have small discussion sections. Twice a week, and have no more than twenty students.
M: I know. But I've heard that they are usually taught by graduate students. At White Stone College all classes are taught by professors. W: Do you prefer a small town like White Stone? Or a bigger place like the state capital?
M: That doesn't matter to me. What I do care about is getting individual attention from the faculty than making friends.
W: Look, I've known you for four years now and you seem to be a pretty outgoing person. I don't think you have any trouble making friends at the state university. It sounds to me that you are leaning toward White Stone though?
M: I am. The only problem is that the White Stone's tuition is really high and I'm not sure I can afford it.
W: You could still apply for a student loan or sign up for a work-study program.
M: Yeah. I think I'U look into that.
