听力原文： If you've been on campus for very long, I'm certain that you've already heard about this course. You may know that last semester about fifty percent, of the Students enrolled in my course failed it. Let me explain how this came about before you jump to any conclusions. In the first place, since this is a composition class, I expect my students to follow certain rules of formality. Unfortunately, many students today dislike having to follow rules of any kind, especially those which they may feel to be unnecessary. For example, I ask that each of your papers be typed and centered on the paper correctly. I count off points for various kinds of mistakes. A misspelled word will cost you 5 points. You've lost 25 points if you've misspelled five words. If you write an incomplete sentence, you've lost 10 points. If you give me two complete sentences as one without adequate punctuation, you've lost 15 points. I do not accept late papers. You will receive a zero for any theme which you fail to submit on time. I expect you to read each assignment. To make certain that you have read the assignment, I will give you a short unannounced quiz from time to time. This class meets on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. You will have a total of six major tests throughout the semester. Your final grade will he based on an average of these major tests, the pop tests, and eight written themes. If you have any questions at any time, you can see me on Tuesdays.

The Bosses Speak

John Stuart is an executive recruitment specialist who has turned to writing. The result is this book, based on interviews with twenty Chief Executives.

Each top manager--none of them famous names, surprisingly--is given a short chapter, and there is some introductory material and a conclusion. This means you can jump from one person to another, in any order, which is good for people who are too busy to read a book form. cover to cover. For a management book it isn't expensive, although whether it's good value for money is doubtful.

Some of the twenty interviewees started their own businesses, while others joined a company and fairly new in their position, and others have had years of experience, though, strangely, Stuart doesn't seem interested in these differences. The interviewees work in everything, from retailing to airlines to software, and it is this variety that forms the main theme of Stuart's book.

I have to say that Stuart's approach annoys me. He rarely stays at a distacne from his interviewees, who are mostly presented in their own, positive words. If this were always the case, at least you would know where you were. But he seems to dislike certain interviewees. As a result, I don't know whether to accept any of his opinions.

It also means that the book gives no clear lessons. At the very least, I expected to learn what makes a successful Chief Executive. But these people seem to share two types of qualities. Some of them are very common, suggesting that anyone can be equally successful, which is definitely not the case. And the other qualities are ones which most successful bosses I've seen definitely do not have. So in the end I'm no wiser about what really goes on.

Perhaps I'm being unfair. As long as you don't think about whether you'd like them as friends, and pay no attention to most of the advice they give, the most readable parts are where the bosses describle their route to their present position.

Stuart seems to think that his book would be useful for people aiming for the top, and that it might even make a few want to start their own company; but, in fact, what they could learn here is very limited Seen as light business reading for a doctor or teacher, though, this book would provide some good entertainment.

The reviewer suggests that one advantage of the book is that ______ .

A．it is better value than other management books.

B．it does not need to be read right through.

C．it is about well-known people.

In November 2015, Marley set out to gather 1,000 bookswith black girls as protagonists(主角). Her campaign called”1000BlackGirlBooks”was a bigsuccess.

听力原文：W: Let's go into the penguin house.

M: Great! I read that they've added a couple of emperor penguins from Antarctica.

W: I was hoping to stay in the warmer section. You know, they have some penguins here from the Galapagos Islands-and that's practically on the equator.

M: But the emperor penguin's huge! It's a lot bigger than the Galapagos penguin—in fact, it's bigger than all the other penguins—almost four feet high.

W: Imagine a bird that size flying through the air...

M: Penguins don't actually fly.

W: I know that. They just sort of... waddle.

M: They swim, too. Even though they're feathered, their wings are more like flippers-they work like paddles in the water.

W: I thought they were land animals.

M: They lay their eggs on land. They make their nests in these enormous colonies called rookeries. See, the emperor penguin has this interesting nesting habit. The female bird leaves the ocean at the beginning of autumn. She lays an egg on the ice and then immediately returns to the water.

W: What happens to the egg？

M: The male rolls it onto his feet and then covers it with the lower part of his belly.

W: Then what？

M: For two whole months. During the worst part of the winter, he huddles together with other male penguins to keep the eggs warm.

W: So the female brings him food？

M: No. See, the penguin can fast for up to four months. The female comes back after the chick hatches. When she does, the male goes out to sea to get food for himself and the chick.

(23)

A．The zoo has built a rookery there.

B．He's writing a book about penguins.

C．He's interested in seeing a certain species.

JOHN: Have you had a chance to look over the contract？

LORRIE: Yes．I've read it carefully.

JOHN: And do you have any questions？

LORRIE: No．But the contract stipulates that I will teach 22 hours a week．Will you have that many classes for me right away？

JOHN: No, probably not．For the first two weeks you may teach 10 or 15 hours.

LORRIE : But my salary will be 1 100 dollars a month．Will you pay me that much for the first month？ Because, I mean, I won't be working so many hours.

JOHN: I understand．That's why I didn't write the date on the contract．For the first two weeks, we will pay you according to the hours you teach．When you have 22 hours of classes, then the contract will take effect．Is that alright with you？

LORRIE: Oh, so I don't sign the contract today．Is that right？

JOHN: I don't want you to misunderstand, Miss Briggs．We are very serious about hiring you．We want you to teach for us．We usually do contracts this way because it is more convenient.

LORRIE: I can accept that.

JOHN: Good．And your benefits will begin immediately.

LORRIE: Even my health insurance？

JOHN: Yes．We will apply for your health insurance tomorrow．And your free membership in the club starts today if you like.

LORRIE: I have a few questions about the free membership.

JOHN: What would you like to know？

LORRIE : Is my membership the same as paying club members？ I mean, can I get discounts at club hotels？

JOHN: Absolutely．The only difference is in the restaurant and bar vouchers.

LORRIE: What are bar vouchers？

JOHN: Paying club members get around 300 dollars a year in restaurant vouchers．The vouchers can be used in the restaurant or the lounge．But we don't offer vouchers to employees.

LORRIE: But according to the contract, employees get a discount in the restaurant.

JOHN: That's fight．So in a way, it is cheaper for you than for the members．You get more benefits than they do.

LORRIE: So, for now, you want me to keep a copy of the contract．But we won't sign it yet．Is that right？

JOHN: Yes．I've prepared the contract just so that you understand everything, so that you understand the terms.

LORRIE: I understand．And according to the terms on the contract, I am happy to accept this job．I look forward to it.

JOHN: I'm very pleased．We look forward to having you here, Miss Briggs.
