听力原文：W: Good afternoon and welcome to Your Business. We have in this studio today Brian Williams, head of the management unit of Lawson & Fowles Publishing. Brian is here to discuss successful staff management. Brian, what makes a good manager？
M: Well, it's a combination of things, but at the top of the list I think I'd put being truthful. Staff have certain expectations of how they should be treated and they want their managers to be fair. Not telling your staff what's happening is a sure way of losing their respect. You need to concentrate on solving problems, not hiding them.
W: But not all problems can be solved, can they？
M: Most can, actually, but that's not the point. The thing is, instead of reacting after the dam-ages done, you should be talking to staff about how things are going and avoiding a situation where they come to see you about the problems after the event. The trick is to decide what problems might arise before they actually happen.
W: What about having staff work together？ How should that be managed？
M: Well, some people appear to like working on their own, but in most companies, people who work on their own do so because they have been neglected. They have been given a task and their boss is not in-terested in how it is being done. This makes their sense of achievements smaller no matter how hard they work. People who work in teams have dearer overall picture of the work they are involved in. They have a role to play, and they know that if they don't perform. well, it is not only the business is going to suffer but also the other members of their team. So it is up to managers to create teams within their organization and encourage this team spirit. It raises performance.
W: How is this best done？
M: Well, it's important to identify certain key employees among your staff and give them particular support and attention. If these key people are encouraged in their work, they would perform. better themselves, and more importantly raise the general level of performance of all the others in their area.
W: Isn't it also a question of recruitment？
M: Yes, yes, lots of difficulties in staff management arise because mangers genuinely don't know how to select the right person. Sometimes interviewees are chosen on the basis of written personality tests which hear no relation with the work they'll be actually doing. Many managers admit that they sometimes ignore the lack of appropriate skills in recruiting the staff. I'd say that in the vast majority of cases they simply opt for the candidates who's made the best impression in half an hour or so...
F: So, what should we have instead？
M: Well, the selection procedure should involve matching the skills and knowledge of the applicant to the actual job. And they should be done in the most immediate and relevant way possible, for example, if you try to recruit a trainer for your company, an important part of the inter-view should involve the applicant giving a pre-pared training session. Training is what they'll be doing, so you should see them in operation be-fore employing them.
F: That sounds sensible. The final question, Brian, is about discipline, which is perhaps the hardest factor to get it right. What is the latest thinking？
B: Umm, well, the issues are: should you be a hard, unfriendly boss, make sure everyone obey your order without a question, or should you be more sympathetic and listen to your employees' difficulties？ Then there will be time when you have to discipline someone who has done some-thing wrong. It can be difficult if you are on very friendly terms with them. So a certain distance is necessary. On the either hand, if you are too un-approachable, you may not be made aware of important problems.
M: Well, thank you, Brian. I'm sure plenty of managers out there will find out our talk very interesting.
？You will hear a radio interview with Brian Williams, a management expert. The interview deals with staf
A．being able to concentrate.
B．being honest.
C．being respected.

听力原文：W: You read this？ A couple that couldn't have a baby cloned the husband, and the wife is now in the family way!

W: Right. The child will be born in two months and the couple won't feel sad about having no children! How great!

W: Well, isn't it charming to live your own life again？ I think human cloning is beneficial in many ways, such as providing remedies for new incurable diseases, prolonging one's life, and so on.
M: That's very good, but what'll be the relationship between the parents and their cloned copy？ What responsibilities should people take for their own clone？ And what if the child falls in love with his own mother one day？ As I see it, human cloning is unethical and must be prohibited!
W: Well, maybe human cloning still has a long way to go, or, maybe, the couple would be better of adopting a child.

听力原文：W: This is Frida and this is her husband Diego Rivera. She can't have fall en in love with him for his look. I reckon he must have been either very rich or very intelligent.

But later on he agreed to it because he couldn't pay his daughter's medical expenses any more. Frida must have spent a fortune on doctors and operations over the years.
W: Oh, yes, what a terrible life first polio and then that awful accident. It's amazing she produced so many paintings, isn't it？

听力原文：M: Good evening and welcome to our program. Our guest is Mrs. Green, who is an expert in the field of environ mental protection. Welcome to our program, Mrs. Green.
W: Thank you.
M: Well, we hear it a lot in the news these days: "Recycle newspapers and save a tree. Collect bottles and cans so they can be reused in the manufacturing of new products." But how to promote the recycling movement？ Can you give us some suggestions？
W: I think there are three essential keys.
M: What is the first one？
W: The first key is to have a more informed public, that is, to raise public awareness about the recycling process, to explain the kinds of materials that can be recycled, and provide ways on how to properly dispose of them. Local governments should educate the public on how to properly sort reusable materials from those, like waxed paper, carbon paper, plastic material such as fast food wrappers, that can't be recycled very easily.
M: Then what is the second key？
W: The second is the development of improved technology. Technological progress has been made on many fronts, but governmental agencies need to step up their support for companies involved in recycling by providing tax incentives, low-cost loans, or even grants to upgrade equipment and to encourage further research.
M: So what about the third essential key？
W: The final key is to develop a greater demand for recycled materials. This means increasing demand for the growing surplus of resources waiting to be recycled.
M: Recycling is a crucial link protecting our planet. The three keys Mrs. Green mentioned are important ways to achieve this end. Thanks for joining us, Mrs. Green.
W: You're welcome.

B．Importance of recycling.
