更多“Your prices appear to be ___ t…”相关的问题
A．You will not get the job.
B．There usually aren't right answers.
C．You will appear inarticulate.
D．The interviewer will check your CV for the answer.
M: Are you kidding？ I didn't see anything that I could afford. And they just wouldn't bargain.
Q: What has man just done？
(15)
A．Bought a souvenir.
B．Spent a lot money.
C．Returned from a trip.
D．Given the woman a gift.
M: Well, there's good news for buyers. Prices won't increase. In fact, they'll fall slightly. There are different reasons for this. One is that it won't be so easy to borrow money. A second reason is that there are still a lot of empty new houses on the market.
W: I see. And what about food prices？ Will they fall too？
M: I'm afraid not. You see, inflation will increase, so consumer prices will rise too. I think we can expect a 3% rise in prices.
W: Some economists say that unemployment will rise. Are you one of these people？
M: No, I'm not. I think it'll decrease. Trade with other countries has improved dramatically over the past year. And the increase in demand for goods means that there will be more jobs.
W: Well, if unemployment falls, can we expect wages to fall too？
M: No, no. The average wage will increase. Not very much, I'm afraid, but there will be a slight increase.
W: One financial question, Mr. Green. What will happen to petrol prices？ Will they increase or decrease next year？
M: That's a very difficult question to answer because we don't know what'll happen in the oil producing countries. I have a feeling that prices will go down. However, I could be wrong!
W: Mr. Green, thank you very much for your time.
M: My pleasure.

A．Housing costs.
B．Average wage.

听力原文：Man: Do you know the thing that's always struck me as odd about opinion polls？
Woman: What's that？.
Man: The percentages. Like recently there was a survey about what people thought about traffic, and petrol prices and public car parks. In some car parks it now costs something like ￡5 to park a car for half an hour.
Woman: Yeah, but I don't see what you are getting at？
Man: What I mean is the percentages m the result. So there might be 70% of people who complained about high petrol prices, and 60% who want to see the traffic reduced, and 65% who think car park charges are too high. Does that mean that there are 35% who actually think the charges are OK and would even be prepared to pay more, and another 30% who think petrol prices are OK？ I mean that's absurd. I don't know anyone who doesn't think they' re too high.
Woman: Well, actually I think we should pay more.
Man: Come on, you're joking.
Woman: No, I'm serious. I think we should pay more fur petrol, even twice as much maybe, and certainly far more for inner city ear parks.
Man: But why？
Woman: More taxes should be charged on petrol, I think, to discourage people from using cars, and a kind of graded charging system for car parks depending on how far they are from the city center.
Man: What do you mean？
Woman: Well, If you park your car quite far from the city center then you pay a nominal amount as a kind of reward for not polluting the city canter. Well, the closer you get to the center, the more you are penalized. Prices in the center should be totally prohibitive. I mean with an efficient bus or tram service there's no excuse for using cars.
Man: Yeah, but you can't penalize people who don't use their car to go into town. I mean if you doubled the price of petrol, it would cost people a fortune to go anywhere, even on short trips, and especially on holidays.
Woman: Don't use your ear. Use a min.
Man: But what about lorries？ I mean they use a lot of petrol to transport goods from one place to another.
Woman: So what's to stop these goods being transported by train or even via canal？
Man: Well, anyway, I still can't believe that 30% of those people who, said car park charges were OK. All think the same as you.
Woman: Well, maybe that's where you were wrong. Just think about what I've said and you'll realize that perhaps its not so stupid as it sounds.

doesn't mean that you should agree to everything the interviewer 【S6】______
says. Most companies want to elect someone with his or her own
opinions.
It's also important to make sure that you really listen to anything
which is being asked. In your preparation you will have 【S7】______
rehearsed answers to a number of imaginary question, but you must 【S8】______
tailor your response to suit the question.

听力原文：M: Okay. May I see your driver's license please？
W: What？ Did I do anything wrong？
M: License, please. And your car registration.
W: Oh, yeah. It's here somewhere in the glove compartment. Yeah, here it is.
M: Madame, did you realize you were speeding in a school zone？
W: What？ No, I didn't, but that's probably because my odometer is broken, I mean, malfunctioning.
M: Yes, you were going 50 miles per hour in a 20 miles per hour zone. And, you failed to come to a complete stop at the intersection back there.
W: Rolling stops don't count？
M: And, one of your break lights is out, you're not wearing a seat belt, and your driver's license expired six months ago.
W: And your name is... Officer Smith？ Hey, are you related to the Smiths in town？ My husband's cousin's husband, I think his name is Fred, works for the police department here. Or is that the fire department？ Anyway, I thought you might be good pals, and you know...
M: Hey, are you trying to influence an officer？ I could have this car impounded right now because of these infractions.
W: No, of course not.
M: Okay, then. Here's your ticket. You can either appear in court to pay the fine or mail it in. Have a nice day.

The recognition that happiness and unhappiness can coexist much【C4】______ love and hate in a close relationship may offer valuable【C5】______ on how to lead a happier life. It suggests, for example,【C6】______ changing or avoiding things that make you miserable 【C7】______ well make you less miserable but probably won't make you any happier. That advice is【C8】______ up by an extraordinary series of studies which【C9】______ that a genetic predisposition for unhappiness may run in certain families.【C10】______ , researchers have found,happiness doesn't appear to be anyone's heritage. The【C11】______ for joy is a talent that you develop【C12】______ for yourself.
Family members【C13】______ each other more in their levels of unhappiness than in their levels of happiness. And identical twins, a/ere much closer than【C14】______ twins in unhappiness,a finding that implies a genetic【C15】______ .
Why is unhappiness less influenced by environment？ When we're happy we tend to be more【C17】______ to people and to keep【C16】______ connections better than when we're feeling sad.

More and more people are resorting to deception like this to land their first job or to move ahead in their careers, for personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from prestige schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university. Registrars (注册人) at most well-known colleges say they deal with fraudulent claims like these at the rate of about one per week.
Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms. If it turns out that an applicant is lying, most colleges are reluctant to accuse the applicant directly. One noted school calls them "impostors"; another refers to them as "special cases". One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says that these claims are made by "no such people".
To avoid transparent lies, some job-seekers claim that they "attend" or "were associated with" a college or university. After carefully checking, a personnel officer may discover that "attending"
means dropping out after one semester. It may be that "being associated with" a college means that the job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century -- that is when they began keep records, anyhow.
If you don't want to lie or even stretch the truth there are companies that will sell you a diploma. One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of nonexistent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from "Smoot State University". The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the "University of Purdue". As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper.
The main idea of this passage is that______.
A．employers are checking more closely on applicants now
B．lying about college certificates has become a problem
C．unreal college degrees have become widespread
D．employers are no longer impressed by college degrees
