## 题目原文

00:00:00,100 
 Section one. You will hear a woman telephoning a farm to inquire about a part-time job. First, you have some time to look at questions one to six. 
 00:00:12,020 
 Now 
 00:00:31,160 
 we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions one to six. 
 00:00:45,680 
 Nature's Farm speaking. How can I help you? 
 00:00:48,820 
 Hi. Morning. I'd like to get some information about the part-time job of fruit picking in the advertisement. I was wondering if you still need some extra hands. 
 00:00:59,360 
 Yes, I do. May I take some of your information first? What's your name? 
 00:01:04,180 
 Sophie Harries. That's H-A-double R-I-E-S. 
 00:01:09,680 
 Nice to talk with you, Sophie. And where are you currently staying? 
 00:01:13,300 
 Well, I'm from London, but now I'm staying at Central Hostel, Sydney. 
 00:01:18,760 
 Okay. May I have your contact number? I can see from the website your number is 0452832727, right? 
 00:01:28,260 
 Oh, sorry. The last digit should be 1, not 7. 
 00:01:32,360 
 Got that. And now, you know we only recruit part-time employees over eighteen, so could I have your age, please? 
 00:01:39,300 
 I am 18, but I will have my 19 birthday at the end of this month, so you can put 19. 
 00:01:45,680 
 Cool. Happy birthday, Sophie. Well, let's move on to the real business. We now have two working sites. One is a fruit farm in North Queensland and the other one is near the coast. Which do you prefer? 
 00:01:58,640 
 Uh, hmm. I think it will be better if I can spend some time on the beach after work. So I guess the second place sounds best to me. 
 00:02:07,740 
 No problem, Sophie. When do you think you could be ready to join us? 
 00:02:11,640 
 It's July now, and I'd like to do some traveling around here. What about August? 
 00:02:17,460 
 Yes. August is the busiest month for us. We're always short of hands. 
 00:02:21,700 
 And could you please tell me how I will get paid? 
 00:02:25,040 
 We can pay you by every basket of fruits or by the hour. It's up to you. 
 00:02:29,720 
 You know, I haven't done fruit picking before, so I guess pay by the hour suits me better. 
 00:02:35,740 
 Okay, I've got that. And there are now three types of fruits: bananas, mangoes and avocados. Which fruit would you like to pick? 
 00:02:44,220 
 I prefer mangoes. I think it will be easier for me. 
 00:02:47,740 
 Cool. I'm sure you'll enjoy that. 
 00:02:52,440 
 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions seven to ten. 
 00:03:03,220 
 Now listen and answer questions seven to ten. 
 00:03:24,680 
 Okay. Now I'd like to ask you a few more questions about yourself. Do you have any medical problems like high blood pressure, heart disease or anything like that? 
 00:03:33,620 
 Actually, I just had a medical checkup recently and everything seemed fine. Well, I hurt my back when I played badminton with my roommate last year, but it's okay now. 
 00:03:44,640 
 Aha, great. And all of our workers are required to have medical insurance in case people hurt themselves while working, like falling down a ladder. Have you got one now? 
 00:03:54,220 
 Yes, and I definitely hope it won't happen during working. 
 00:03:58,400 
 Uh-huh. Yet you still need to take much care. By the way, do you have a driver's license? You know, the fruit farm is huge. Sometimes you will need to drive a car. 
 00:04:08,140 
 Yes, I got my driver's license last year, but I'm afraid I don't have a license for driving large trucks. 
 00:04:15,000 
 No worries. You are not responsible for delivering the picked fruit to the supermarkets. There are some drivers doing that work. And lastly, one more question. Where would you like to live? 
 00:04:25,220 
 Any options for me? 
 00:04:27,020 
 Well, two choices. You can either stay in a cottage on the farm, or we can arrange accommodation in a town nearby. 
 00:04:33,600 
 I don't think I'd like to stay at the workplace all day long. I think the second one is better for me. 
 00:04:39,500 
 Okay, let's do that. Looking forward to seeing you soon. 
 00:04:42,920 
 Many thanks. See you then. 
 00:04:47,820 
 That is the end of section one. You now have half a minute to check your answers.
