听力原文： When people succeed, it is because of hard work, but luck has a lot to do with it, too. Success without some luck is almost impossible. The French emperor Napoleon said of one of his generals, "I know he's good. But is he lucky？" Napoleon knew that all the hard work and talent in the world can't make up for bad luck. However, hard work can invite good luck..
When it comes to success, luck can mean being in the right place to meet someone, or having the right skills to get a job done. It might mean turning down an offer and then having a better offer come along. Nothing can replace hard work, but working hard also means you're preparing yourself opportunity. Opportunity very often depends on luck.
How many of the great inventions and discoveries came about through a lucky mistake or a lucky chance？ One of the biggest lucky mistakes in history is Columbus' so-called discovery of America. He enriched his sponsors and changed history, but he was really looking for India. However, Columbus' chance discovery wasn't pure luck. It was backed up by years of studying and calculating. He worked hard to prove his theory that the world was round.
People who work hard help make their own luck by being ready opportunity knocks. When it comes to success, hard work and luck are always hand in hand.
(30)
A．Hard work is the most important thing for one's success.
B．Hard work may invite good luck.
C．Good luck plays an important role in one's success.
D．Success has nothing to do with luck.

听力原文：W: Mr. Matheson, I'm the business consultant to make some suggestions on developing a functional organizational structure in your company. I've studied all your reports, and your company is making excellent progress,
M: Thank you, Miss Carlyle, I'm in bad need of such suggestions because, to be frank, my company, although small, is rapidly expanding. And please, call me Len. So, what are your recommendations for my new organizational structure？
W: Call me Mary. First, let's start with your operation here. You should set up separate Administrative, Clerical, Back office, and Support functions. There's too much work for your personnel to wear more than one hat any more.
M: Yes, they're already overworked. But that will entail more Managerial functions, won't it？
W: That's right, Lea, and you'll need at least two new managers for separate Marketing and Product Development departments.
M: OK, Mary. What else？
W: I think you'll need an Executive assistant to help you deal with corporate affairs. That should do it for your headquarters here, but since your business is no longer just local, I also suggest setting up a regional office in the south.
M: What about personnel there？
W: You'll need the same basic functionality as here, on a reduced scale. Product Development is only needed at headquarters for now. Your regional head can manage all functions there initially, but will probably need an assistant, also. And that's it!
M: Thanks for your advice, Mary. You do help a lot. Looks like I'll need that assistant right away to help me set all this up!

B．A business consultant.
