听力原文： We cannot feel speed. But our senses let us know that we are moving. We see things moving past us and feel that we are, being shaken.
We can feel acceleration, an increase in speed. But we notice it for only a short time. For example, we feel it during the takeoff of an airplane.
We feel the plane's acceleration because our bodies do not get speed as fast as the plane does. It seems that something is pushing us back against the seat. Actually, our bodies are trying to stay in the same place, while the plane is carrying us forward.
Soon the plane reaches a steady speed. Then, because there is no longer any change in speed, the feeling forward motion stops.
8. What lets us know that we are moving？
(13)
A．Our body.
B．Our senses.
C．The speed.
D．The plane.

听力原文：W: In the studio today we've got Roberta Wilson, who's a time management consultant. Good morning, Roberta.
M: Good morning, Cindy.
W: Roberta, what exactly do time management consultants do？
M: Well, Cindy, it's all about helping people to organize their work in an ef fective way: maximum efficiency; minimum stress.
W: Hah, sounds like something I need. Who are your clients？
M: Um, mainly business people, but I've also worked with politicians, civil servants and university lecturers.
W: Um, quite a range, then. And what sort of things help people to organ ize their time？ I suppose punctuality is important.
M: Um, yes and no. It's easier to finish a meeting on time if it starts on time. But in international contexts, you do have to be aware of cultural differences.
W: For example？
M: Well, in Britain big, formal meetings usually start on time, but less for mal meetings often begin a few minutes late. In Germany, on the other hand, people expect all meetings to begin on time; In some countries, er, for example, in Latin America, there's a more relaxed attitude. So, you d6 have to adapt to circumstances.
W: Um, it sounds like even if you manage your own time very well, you still can't control what other people do.
M. Well, you can set limits. If you're meeting a friend who always arrives late, you can say, "Well, I'm going to wait for 15 minutes. If they aren't there by then, I'll leave,"
W: Hmm. I've got one friend who's always late. I don't think I'd ever see her if I did that.
M: Hah, but people who are always late are the ones you need to set limits with. If they know that you won't wait, then, perhaps they'll make an effort.
W: Isn't that rather harsh？
M: No, not really. Someone who constantly turns up late is putting a low value on your time. Let them know you've got other things to do. And I'm not suggesting you do that with everyone just the persistent latecomers.
(20)
A．To help people to organize their work in an effective way.
B．To help people to become efficient at their jobs.
C．To help people to arrange their time properly.
D．To help people to reduce stress.

听力原文：W: Now that we are nearing the end of our last year of school, I am very concerned about finding a job.

W: Yes, there were one or two promising leads, but I'm hoping to find something a little better than those. I have a list of the most prominent accounting firms. I plan on sending my resume to each of them.
M: Tom told me that he has mailed out twenty resumes already.
W: The job market is very tight this year. I'm afraid that there will be a lot of the graduating class that will have to settle for something less than they hoped for or go to a less desirable part of the country.
M: Bob and Joe have contacted a headhunter. They hope by using those professional services they will be able to find a good position.

听力原文：W: Sam, could you review the results of the survey on leisure sporting activities again？ We need to plan our proposal for tomorrow's meeting.
M: Sure. I've summarized the results in the handout, broken down by consumer age groups and sporting activities. The survey was administered to 550 men and women between the ages of 18 and 55 years old The results have been compiled in the following age groups: 18 to 26, 27 to 35, 36 to 45, and 46 to 55. According to the results, the most active group involved in sporting activities are those between 18 and 26 years old, followed by those 36 to 45 years old.
W: Okay.
M: As far as particular sports are concerned, people in these two groups cited jogging as their favorite recreational sport followed by skiing, tennis, swimming, and cycling.
W: Hmm. Based on what you've said, I think we should consider targeting the 18 to 26 year-old age group more in the future. I also feel we should consider expanding our line of athletic shoes, particularly jogging and tennis footwear. We also have to come up with a more appealing slogan aimed at this age group.
M: I see what you mean. However, when these results are compared with the survey carried out three years ago, we can see a growing trend among older consumers-those 14, I mean 46 to 55-who are becoming more conscious and concerned about staving fit. I believe this trend will continue, so we should focus on this group instead.
W: I see your point. Well, let's meet again on Wednesday to iron out more of the details of this proposal.

A．9-17.
B．18-26.
C．27-35.
