　　长对话原文第一篇：

　　W: What sort of hours do you work, Steve?

　　M: Oh, I have to work very long hours, about 11 hours a day。

　　W: What time do you start?

　　M: I work 9 to 3. Then I start again at 5:30 and work until 11. Six days a week. So I have to work very unsocial hours。

　　W: And do you have to work at the weekend?

　　M: Oh, yes, that’s our busiest time. I get Wednesdays off。

　　W: What are the things you have to do, and the things you don’t have to do?

　　M: Eh, I don’t have to do the washing-up, so that’s good. I have to wear white and I have to keep everything in the kitchen totally clean。

　　W: What’s hard about the job?

　　M: You’re standing up all the time. When we’re busy, people get angry and sharp. But that’s normal。

　　W: How did you learn the profession?

　　M: Well, I did a two year course at college. In the first year, we had to learn the basics. And then we had to take the exams。

　　W: Was it easy to find a job?

　　M: I wrote to about six hotels. And one of them gave me my first job. So I didn’t have to wait too long。

　　W: And what’s the secret of being good at your job?

　　M: Attention to detail and you have to love it. You have to show passion for it. And what are your plans for the future?

　　M: I want to have my own place when the time is right。

　　Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard。

　　19. What does the man say about his job?

　　20. What does the man think is the hardest part of his job?

　　21. Where did the man get his first job after graduation?

　　22. What does the man say is important to being good at his job?

　　长对话原文第二篇：

　　W: Now you’ve seen this table of figures about the pocket money children in Britain get?

　　M: Yes. I thought it was quite interesting, but I don’t quite understand the column entitled “change”. Can you explain what it means?

　　W: Well, I think it means the change from the year before. I’m not a mathematician, but I assume the rise from 72p to 90p, is the rise of 25%。

　　M: Oh, yes, I see. And the inflation rate is there for comparison。

　　W: Yes. Why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation?

　　M: I’m sorry, I’ve no idea. Perhaps parents in Britain are too generous。

　　W: Perhaps they are. But it looks as if children were a lot better off in 2001 than they were in 2002. That’s strange, isn’t it? And they seemed to have been better off in 2003 than they are now. I wonder why that is。

　　M: Yes, I don’t understand that at all。

　　W: Anyway, if you had children, how much pocket money would you give them?

　　M: I don’t know. I think I probably give them two pounds a week。

　　W: Would you? And what would you expect them to do with it?

　　M: Well, out of that they have to buy some small personal things. But I wouldn’t expect them to save to buy their own socks for example。

　　W: Yes. By the way, do most children in your country get pocket money?

　　M: Yeah, they do。

　　Questions 23 to question 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard:

　　Q 23: What is the table of figures about?

　　Q 24: What do we learn from the conversation about British children’s pocket money?

　　Q 25: Supposing the man had children, what would he expect them to do with their pocket money?
