M: Y ou are a great help, Maggie.

W: I don’t quite understand a why you need my notes, Mark? Y ou haven’t missed any classes. M: To be honest, I work in sup ermarket from 7 to 10 o’clock every evening.

W: I see. So you’re pretty tired when you come to class.

M: That’s exactly why I want to borrow your notes. My notes aren’t very good.

W: So what do you usually do in class?

M: I’m always awake at the beginning, but thirty minutes after class begins I feel sleepy and have trouble keeping my eyes open.

W: Well, I need someone to study with and you need someone to keep you awake. Can we be study partners?

W: Also, you need to find as much information as you can about the company. Y ou can do this in the library. Have they sent you some brochures?

M: Y es, but I can do it better on the Internet.

W: That’s a good idea. And another thing, mmm, be prepared to say why you would be good for the job.

M: Oh, yes. They may want to know what contributions I can make to the company.

W: And then don’t forget to prepare some questions that you would like to ask them. There’s usually time for that at the end of the interview.

W: Then how do you like to meet people?

M: I think small groups are the best way to meet people. I meet the most interesting people in class. I see how they think and talk every day. If I like someone, then w e might get together later on.

W: Y ou’re such a serious guy. I met my best friend in the sports club. We came to know we had a lot in common. If you ask me, big parties are the best way to meet people.

M: Well, maybe. Mmm, I should try my chances of the ba rbecue. I’ll see you tonight, Mary.

听第四段独白，回答第10至第12三个小题。现在你有15秒钟的时间阅读这三个小题。W: British families started going on holiday to the seaside around the middle of the 19th century. The invention of the railways made this possible. The first holidaymakers were quite rich and went for their health and education. The seaside was a place to be cured of illness. And doctors recommended bathing in the sea and drinking sea water. At that time ordinary working people had very little time off work. However, in 1871 the government introduced four “Bank Holidays”, that is national holidays. This allowed people to have a day or two out now and then, which gave them a taste for leisure and seaside. At first, they went on day-trips, taking advantage of special trip tickets on the railways. By the 1880s, rising incomes meant that many ordinary workers and their families could have week’s holiday at the seaside. Welfare was reduced and cheap hotels were built for them. Holidaymakers enjoy sitting on the beach, bathing in the sea and eating ice-cream. Cheap entertainment was an offer and holidaymakers went to have fun. Today the English seaside remains popular with more than 18 million holidays taken there each year.

W: I’m afraid of flying, are you?

M: No, flying is fine with me.

W: That’s great. Er, back home, do you fly quite oft en for your job?

M: No, I go to the work by bus and drive to different business appointments, but sometimes I take the train to go to the business conferences in other cities or things like that.

W: I see. So tomorrow you will have a really long flight.

M: Y es, terribly long.

W: It’s probably 15 or 16 hours, I suppose.

M: Mmm, from Shanghai to Boston, mmm, let me see, it is about 18 hours in the air.

W: So how do you pass the time on the plane?

M: I like to sleep as much as possible.

W: OK, do you take medicine or just have a beer or...?

M: No, no, I don’t take any medicine. I tend to stay up late the day before, so that I’m tired and I want a sleep on the plane.

W: That’s a good idea. And I hope you have a good flight.

M: Thank you very much.
