听力原文：W: Hi, Tom.

M: Kate, I haven't seen you for weeks. Where have you been？

W: In Florida.

M: What？ Vacationing while the rest of us have been studying on the campus in the February cold？

W: Not exactly. I spent most of my time underwater.

M: I don't understand.

W: I was on a special field trip. I went with my marine biology class.

M: So you went scuba diving. What were you looking for, sunken treasure？

W: You might say so. The sea is full of treasures. All kinds of strange, fascinating organisms. Our class concentrated on studying plankton.

M: I thought they were too small to be seen.

W: That's a common misconception. The plankton covers a wide variety of freely floating plants and animals. From one-celled organisms to large ones, such as the common jelly fish.

M: Jelly-fish may be large enough to be seen. But they are transparent, aren't they？

W: Yes, most floating plants and animals have transparent tissues. It makes them practically invisible to their enemies.

M: But not invisible to your biology class, I hope.

W: By concentrating, I was able to see the outlines of lots of different plants and animals, In fact, our professor even took photo of some small oceanic snails.

M: How would the snails show up in the photo if they are transparent？

W: We painted them with a harmless green dye. Since particles of the dye stuck to the tissues, the snails appeared in a green outline in the photos.

M: That sounds like an interesting trip.

W: It really was.

M: But I think if I had been there, I'd much rather have spent my time just swimming and lying in the sun.

(20)

A．Sightseeing.

B．Lying on the beach.

C．Taking photos of the beaches.

D．Scuba diving.

听力原文：W: In the studio today we've got Roberta Wilson, who's a time management consulta

nt. 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.
