W: Why didn’t Rod get a pay raise？

M: The boss just isn’t convinced that his work attitude warranted it.She said she saw him by the coffee machine more often than at his desk.

Q: What are the speakers talking about？

听力原文：M: Hi, Janet. How's your oral presentation coming along？

W: What oral presentation are you talking about？ I can't give mine until next week.

M: You haven't started working on it yet, have you？

W: No, I have so many other things to do. I need to finish summarizing 30 articles for Dr. Thompson. See, I've been working for him as a research assistant. I know what the pressure of a deadline feels like.

M: I have more time than you do. But I can't concentrate unless I know I have plenty of time. I wanted to get my presentation out of the way because I have a big biology test next week.

W: What's your presentation on？

M: Sinclair Lewis.

W: Isn't he a writer？ I thought we were supposed to focus only on poets.

M: No, yon can work on novelists too.

W: Are you positive？ I didn't know that.

M: Anyway, I like most of Lewis' novels but especially Main Street which he wrote in 1920. It's a satirical portrait of a conservative small town in the Midwest.

W: Are you going to give yours on Wednesday？

M: Yes, I am. You wouldn't mind listening to my talk and giving me some feedback, would you？ Also, I'd appreciate it if you would time my speech.

W: No problem. Where shall we get together？

M: That sounds good.I'll see you at the hall. It'll be quieter than our dormitory.

W: Why don't you try house-sitting？ Last summer Cindy was a house sitter for the Smiths when they went away on vacation. They hired Cindy to stay in their house because they didn't want it left empty.

M: You mean they paid Cindy just to live in their house？

W: It wasn't that easy. She had to water the house plants, mow the lawn, and even take care of the pets.

M: I guess it is a little like baby-sitting, except you're taking care of a house instead of children.

W: The student employment office still has a few jobs posted.

M: Do I just have to fill oat an application？

W: You have to have an interview with the homeowner and provide three references at least.

M: That seems like a lot of trouble for a summer job.

W: Well, the homeowner wants some guarantee that they can trust the house sitter. You know they want to make sure you're not the type who'll hold wild parties in their house, or bring a group of friends in with you.

M: I see. House sitters who do that sort of thing probably aren't paid then.

W: Usually they're paid anyway just because the homeowners don't want to make a fuss. But if the homeowner reports it, the house sitter won't be able to get another job easily. So why don't you apply？

M: I think I will. Thank you.
