17、iness trip in Japan?25. Why is the woman applying for the new job?Passage 1Time. I think a lot about time and not just because its the name of the news organization I work for. Like most working people, I find time, or the lack of it, and never-ending frustration and an unwinnable battle. My every d
18、ay is a race against the clock that I never ever seem to win. This is hardly a lonesome complaint. According to the families and work institutes, national study of the changing workforce, 55 percent of employees say they dont have enough time for themselves, 63 percent dont have enough time for thei
19、r spouses or partners, and 67 percent dont have enough time for their children. Its also not a new complaint. I bet our ancestors returned home from hunting wild animals and gathering nuts and complained about how little time they had to paint battle scenes on their cave walls. The difference is tha
20、t the boss of animal hunting and the head of nut gathering probably told them to shut up or no survival for you. Todays workers are still demanding control over their time. The difference is todays bosses are listening. Ive been reading a report issued today called “when work works“ produced jointly
21、 by three organizations. They set up to find and warn the employers who employ the most creative and most effective ways to give their workers flexibility. I found this report worth reading and suggest every boss should read it for ideas.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just hear
22、d.26. What is the speaker complaining about?27. What does the speaker say about our ancestors?28. Why does the speaker suggest all bosses read the report by the three organizations?Passage 2“Loving a child is a circular business. The more you give, the more you get, the more you want to give.” Penal
23、apy Leach once said. What she said proves to be true of my blended family. I was born in 1931. As the youngest of six children, I learned to share my parents love. Raising six children during the difficult times of the Great Depression took its toll on (对。 。 。造成损失) my parents relationship and result
24、ed in their divorce when I was 18 years old. Daddy never had very close relationships with his children and drifted even farther away from us after the divorce. Several years later, a wonderful woman came into his life and they were married. She had two sons, one of them still at home. Under her inf
25、luence, we became a blended family and a good relationship developed between the two families. She always treated us as if we were her own children. It was because of our other mother, Daddys second wife, that he became closer to his own children. They shared over 25 years together before our father
26、 passed away. At the time of his death, the question came up of my mother, Daddys first wife, attending his funeral. I will never forget the unconditional love shown by my step mother. When I asked her if she would object to mother attending Daddys funeral, without giving it a second thought, she im
27、mediately replied. “Of course not, honey. She is the mother of my children.“Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. According to the speaker, what contributed to her parents divorce?30. What brought the father closer to his own children?31. What message does the speaker w
28、ant to convey in this talk?Passage 3In February last year, my wife lost her job. Just as suddenly, the owner of the Green House where I worked as manager died of a heart attack. His family announced that they were going to close the business because no one in the family wanted to run it. Things look
29、ed pretty gloomy. My wife and I read the want ads each day. Then one morning, as I was hanging a “going out of business“ sign at the green house, the door opened and in walked a customer. She was an office manager whose company had just moved into the new office park (商业区，花园办公，生态办公)on the edge of th
30、e town. She was looking for potted plants to place in the reception areas in offices. “I dont know anything about plants“, she said, “I am sure in a few weeks, theyll all be dead.” While I was helping her select her purchases, my mind was racing. Perhaps as many as a dozen firms that recently opened
31、 offices in the new office park and there were several hundred more acres with construction under way. That afternoon, I drove up to the office park. By 6 oclock that evening, I had signed contacts with 7 companies to rent plants from me and pay me a fee to maintain them. Within a week, I had worked
32、 down to an agreement to lease the Green House from the owners family. Business is now increasing rapidly. And one day we hope to be the proud owners of the Green House.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.32. What do we learn about the green house?33. What was the speaker
33、 doing when the customer walked in one morning?34. What did the speaker think of when serving the office manager?35. What was the speakers hope for the future?复合式听写We are now witnessing the emergence of an advanced economy based on information and technology. Physical （36） labor, raw materials, and
