## 题目原文

00:00:01,080 
 Part one. You will hear a woman who works at an employment agency talking to a man about jobs he could apply for. First, you have some time to look at questions one to six. 
 00:00:20,740 
 Now listen carefully and answer questions one to six. 
 00:00:53,920 
 Good morning. How may I help you? 
 00:00:56,940 
 Good morning. We spoke on the phone last week, and I'm ringing to get more details about the job. 
 00:01:03,620 
 That's right. Thank you for sending in your CV. We've carefully looked at it, and I think we have several jobs that might suit you. 
 00:01:13,240 
 That's great. 
 00:01:14,600 
 The first one is in a magazine based in North London. They're looking for a reporter. 
 00:01:21,280 
 What sort of magazine is it? 
 00:01:23,580 
 They're called Home Solutions, which publishes articles on housing every week, and they want to find someone responsible for collecting the latest news and writing relevant articles. 
 00:01:38,060 
 What are the hours of work? 
 00:01:40,480 
 Well, you will be expected to work 40 hours a week, but there may be opportunities to do overtime during busy periods. For example, some may work more than 50 hours a week and get extra pay, but you're not required to do this. 
 00:01:58,680 
 That's reasonable. Do you know what the rates of pay are? 
 00:02:03,110 
 Yes. It says you'll get a monthly pay of 7000 pounds for the first six months, and after the probationary period, you'll be eligible for a salary of more than that, maybe 7500 pounds or more. 
 00:02:21,340 
 That's good. 
 00:02:22,700 
 So is that something that might interest you? 
 00:02:26,520 
 It is, yes. The only thing is you say they are in North London, so it would be a pretty long commute for me. 
 00:02:34,520 
 In that case, the second position might suit you better regarding location. That's a researcher for an electronic engineering company in South London. 
 00:02:46,860 
 Yes. That would be a lot closer. 
 00:02:49,420 
 Your CV shows you have relevant working experience in this field. 
 00:02:55,160 
 Yes. I worked in the office of a computer engineering company for two years. What about the working hours? 
 00:03:02,980 
 For this job, you'll have to work 45 hours a week, and the starting salary is 7200 pounds for the six-month probationary period. 
 00:03:14,500 
 That should be nice. 
 00:03:16,260 
 I can arrange for you an interview if you're interested. But before that, may I ask where you heard about us? Was it in an advert or did your friend tell you? 
 00:03:28,840 
 Neither. It was a website. Then I just got your number from the phone book. 
 00:03:34,420 
 Oh, right. 
 00:03:38,340 
 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions seven to ten. 
 00:03:50,760 
 Now listen and answer questions seven to ten. 
 00:04:22,420 
 Apart from full-time jobs, we have some part-time work that might suit you. Here, several magazines are recruiting part-time writers. Are you interested? 
 00:04:34,300 
 What kind of writer exactly? I mean, what types of articles should I write about? 
 00:04:40,300 
 Well, the first one is to do with sports reports. For this, you're expected to write sports articles twice weekly. 
 00:04:49,680 
 Well, I love sports. I'm a football fan, but as far as writing is concerned, I'm not entirely keen on that. I think I'll rule it out. 
 00:04:59,960 
 Okay. Then how about writing something for entertainment? Does it appeal to you? 
 00:05:06,700 
 Entertainment is an exciting topic. I like reading news or articles in this category, but I'm not sure if I should write something about it. Anyway, I'll think about that. Could you give me more details? 
 00:05:20,980 
 Okay. I've got your email, and I will send the details to you later. 
 00:05:26,440 
 Thanks. 
 00:05:27,530 
 And the third one is writing reviews for soap dramas. 
 00:05:32,320 
 Oh, soap drama is my favorite. I worked as a freelance writer in this field three years ago. I think it's pretty worthwhile to give my own opinions and recommendations to the audience. 
 00:05:45,220 
 That's good. And the last one is writing articles for a business economy magazine. 
 00:05:52,000 
 I'm unfamiliar with this field, so I think it might not be easy. 
 00:05:56,880 
 Don't worry too much. Experience is not essential for this job. They've got a training session for every recruit. 
 00:06:05,320 
 That sounds not too bad. 
 00:06:07,460 
 Okay. Would you like me to send you the pamphlet so that you can learn more about it? 
 00:06:13,540 
 That will be nice. 
 00:06:15,120 
 Okay. That's it. I'll send you all the information later, and... 
 00:06:22,970 
 That is the end of part one. You now have half a minute to check your answers to part one.
