W: Sure. I was responsible for overseeing about 30 employees. I did all of the ordering for the store, and I kept track of the inventory.
M: What was the most difficult part of your job？
W: Probably handling angry customers. We didn't have them very often, but when we did, I needed to make sure they were well taken care of. After all, the customer is always right.
M: That's how we feel here too. How long did you work there？
W: I was there for three and a half years. I left the company last month.
M: And why did you leave？
W: My husband has been transferred to Boston. And I understand your company has an opening there too.
M: Yes, that's right. We do. But the position won't start until early next month. Would that be a problem for you？
W: No, not at all. My husband's new job doesn't begin for a few weeks. So we thought we would spend some time driving to Boston and stop to see my parents.
M: That sounds nice. So tell me, why are you interested in this particular position？
W: I know that your company has a great reputation, and a wonderful product. I've thought many times that I would like to be a part of it. When I heard about the opening in Boston, I jumped to the opportunity.
M: Well I'm glad you did.

(30)About 85 percent of the children live with their mother after divorce. However. more divorced men want their children to live with them.

Now the city plans to extend public access to the area adjoining Moon Walk in an ambitious design that will, the city hopes, be a part of its development for the next world's fair. This more ambitious concept for the waterfront will be likely to stir considerable debate as competing projects vie (竞争) for the opportunities for profit. The development will therefore require substantial participation, cooperation and scrutiny (详细审查) by citizens to make sure that while private profitability is maintained, the public's needs are satisfied, too.
The joint efforts of environmentalists, business-people, civic leaders and politicians have transformed abandoned, derelict (废弃的) port landscapes in cities throughout America into exciting commercial and recreational centers. Examples are the Cannery in San Francisco, the Riverfront Walk in San Antonio, Faneuil Hall Market in Boston and Harborplace in Baltimore.
It's easy to understand why the port areas were neglected. While many cities were growing up along rivers, lakes and natural harbors, depending on water-borne commerce, waterfronts thrived. After World War Ⅱ, however, technological changes in transportation— improved planes and airports, the interstate highway system, larger tracks for freight trains and containerized shipping--rendered many old port facilities obsolete. Waterfront areas became peripheral (外围的) to the life of the city. Piers were abandoned, and the waterfronts lay idle in many older cities, paralleling the more general urban decay.
With the 1970's came a period of reflection on this condition and a resurgence (苏醒) of urban pride. urban renewal stopped being a license for large-scale demolition (破坏); politicians and planners took a hard. look at their available resources and began to experiment with new development techniques. Waterfronts became one focus of the large urban revitalization effort.
The primary purpose of this passage is to describe ______.
A．business expansion of urban areas
B．Moon Walk in New Orleans
C．the causes of urban decay
D．the renewal of waterfront areas
