## 题目原文

00:00:00,660 
 Part two. 
 00:00:02,720 
 You will hear a farm manager talking to a group of people who are starting work at a fruit farm. 
 00:00:10,180 
 First, you have some time to look at questions eleven to fifteen. 
 00:00:48,940 
 Now listen carefully and answer questions eleven to fifteen. 
 00:00:54,900 
 Well, hello, everyone, and welcome to Parsons Fruit Farm. It's good to see a mix of so many different nationalities who have all come here on their working holidays. I'm sure you're gonna enjoy working on our farm. 
 00:01:10,080 
 First of all, just a few words about accommodation. I know that some of you have pitched your tents down at the campground but are looking for something more comfortable. 
 00:01:20,000 
 So one option is the motel. It's located very conveniently, just a few minutes away, and they often do reduced rates if you're staying long term. And then the backpackers' hostel is always very popular, though it can be busy at this time of year. 
 00:01:36,700 
 Okay. So the work itself. 
 00:01:40,740 
 This summer, the weather's been pretty mixed. We've had a bit of everything, and the forecasts have always been wrong. So some of the apples and pears aren't in great condition. That said, this season's been better than some we've had recently, and the autumn looks like it's gonna be great, so we should have ideal conditions for the harvest. 
 00:02:03,060 
 So there are a number of different jobs to do. Most of you will be fruit picking. We'll give all the fruit pickers gloves to wear to protect your fingers, so you won't hurt yourselves. 
 00:02:14,500 
 We'll also be looking for some tractor drivers. Their job is to collect the full baskets of fruit and take them to the shed. 
 00:02:23,420 
 I should say, in this country, anyone is allowed to drive a tractor on farmland once they're thirteen rather than eighteen, as in some countries. 
 00:02:33,640 
 However, we do have certain rules that are specific to our farm. You don't need to have done farm work before, but here you must have a relevant document or permit from your country that allows you to operate this type of vehicle. 
 00:02:50,240 
 Then there are also lots of jobs working inside the shed. This involves sorting the fruit and cleaning it if necessary. There's a lot of heavy machinery in the shed, so when that's operating, you must wear your ear protection. The big advantage is the shed's fully air-conditioned, so it's a pleasant environment regardless of what the weather's doing outside. 
 00:03:13,460 
 All right. Well, whatever job you do, I'll just give you some final advice. 
 00:03:19,640 
 When you're picking the fruit, sometimes you can break off a small branch. That's not something you need to be worried about. It'll grow back. 
 00:03:30,420 
 Also, remember to have snacks and use your water bottles often. People get exhausted quickly during harvest time. 
 00:03:38,680 
 And if you've got a mobile or cell, keep it with you at all times in case there's an emergency. 
 00:03:47,880 
 Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions sixteen to twenty. 
 00:04:18,700 
 Now listen and answer questions sixteen to twenty. 
 00:04:26,100 
 All right. I'd like to quickly go over where everything is located. So look at your maps of Parsons Fruit Farm and find the main yard. It's towards the bottom of your maps. 
 00:04:38,700 
 That really is the center of the farm. Okay. The first place I'll mention is the workshop. This is close to the main yard, 
 00:04:49,060 
 but you actually have to leave the yard to get into it. So you need to take the road that goes out to the orchards, and you access the workshop from there. 
 00:05:00,040 
 Then the lunchroom. On the north side of the map, there's a road that curves sharply round to the left. Halfway round this bend, you'll find the entrance to the lunchroom. It's a pretty place next to the river and also beside a little wood. 
 00:05:18,300 
 You also need to be able to find the farm office. So if you look at the main yard, you'll see there's a number of different buildings located around it, and the farm office is the smallest one. It's on the south side. 
 00:05:33,720 
 Obviously, the first aid room is important. Now, this is close to the main yard, so it's quick to get there, and it's actually more or less in the middle of your maps. That little building that's attached to the farmhouse. 
 00:05:49,240 
 Then the store shed. From the main yard, take the road heading north. Go past the farmhouse and turn right. The store is down that road. If you come to the vegetable gardens, you've gone too far. 
 00:06:03,700 
 Now, the other thing is the farmhouse is further than you'd expect. 
 00:06:11,120 
That is the end of part two. You now have thirty seconds to check your answers to part two.
