听力原文：W: Elizabeth Martin speaking.

M: Dr. Martin, my name is Mark Johnson. My roommate, Benjamin Jones, is in your art history class.

W: Uhm Art History 5027

M: Yes. Well, he is sick and won't be in your class today. He asked me to bring his term paper to your office.

W: OK, the paper is due by 3 o'clock.

M: I have a class from 12. I'll bring it to your office after my class.

W: Well, I have a meeting this afternoon. So you can drop it off with the secretary of the art history department. She'll .see that I get it.

M: OK. I almost forgot. I'm a biology major. But my advisor told me that I need one more humanities course to graduate. I've noticed that you arc teaching a course on landscape painters next semester. Could you tell me a little bit about it？

W: Sure. Well, it's a course for nonart majors. We'll ha looking at several different painters and examining their works. We'll also look at the history and politics of the era in which they lived.

M: That sounds interesting. What else is required？

W: There is no final exam. And there is only one required book. But each student has to give a major presentation about an individual painter at the end of the course.

M: Hmm, it sounds good. Will you be in your office later today？ I'd like to talk to you some more.

W: Well, my meeting's scheduled to last all afternoon. Why don't you stop by tomorrow？ Any time in the afternoon. My office is in the fine arts building right next to the library.

M: Thanks. I'll do that.

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.
