　　2009年12月四級長對話-1

　　Now you hear the two long conversations

　　Conversation 1

　　W: Hello, Cartson College, may I help you?

　　M: Yes. I’m looking for information on courses in computer programming. I would need it for the fall semester.

　　W: Do you want a day or evening course?

　　M: Well, it would have to be an evening course since I work during the day.

　　W: Aha. Have you taken any courses in data processing?

　　M: No.

　　W: Oh! Well, data processing is a course you have to take before you can take computer programming.

　　M: Oh, I see. Well, when is it given? I hope it is not on Thursdays.

　　W: Well, there’s a class that meets on Monday evenings at 7.

　　M: Just once a week?

　　W: Yes. But that’s almost 3 hours from 7 to 9:45.

　　M: Oh! Well, that’s all right, I could manage that. How many weeks does the course last?

　　W: Mm, let me see. 12 weeks. You start the first weekends September and finish…Oh.. just before Christmas, December 21st.

　　M: And how much is the course?

　　W: That’s 300 dollars including the necessary computer time.

　　M: Ah-hum. Okay, Eh, where do I go to register?

　　W: Registration is on the second and third of September between 6 and 9 in Frost Hall.

　　M: Is that the round building behind the parking lot?

　　W: Yes, that’s the one.

　　M: Oh, I know how to get there. Is there anything that I should bring with me?

　　W: No, just your check book.

　　M: Well, thank you so much.

　　W: You’re very welcome. Bye!

　　M: Bye!

　　LC two

　　W: So, why exactly does your job have reputation for being stressful?

　　M: Stress is generally driven by the feeling of being out of control of a situation and the feeling of a situation controlling you. Trading in financial markets combines both.

　　W: How do you relax in the evening?

　　M: I very rarely do anything work-related so it’s easy to escape the markets. I generally go to the gym or go for a run, especially if I had a bad day. I always cook a meal rather than have a take-away. To do something my brain will regard as creative.

　　W: Do you think what you do to relax is an effective way to beat stress?

　　M: I don’t think there is a specific rule about how to beat stress. I generally find out what I do is effective for me.

　　W: Would you consider changing your job because of the high stress factor?

　　M: I have considered leaving my job due to stress-related factors. However, I do think that an element of stress is a good thing. And if used the right way can actually be a positive thing.

　　W: What do you enjoy about the stressful aspects of your job?

　　M: Having said all that, I do actually enjoy an element of uncertainty. I enjoy mental challenge. Trading generates a wide range of emotions second by second. How you deal with and manage those emotions dictates short medium and long term trading performance and success.

　　Q23-25

　　Q23. What is the man’s job?

　　Q24. Why does the man prefer to cook a meal rather than have a take-away?

　　Q25. What does the man say about an element of stress in his job?
