SECTION B INTERVIEW
Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. Questions 1 to 5 are based on an interview. At the end of the interview you will be given 10 seconds to answer each of the following five questions.
Now listen to the interview.
听力原文：A: Good morning, Mr. Pitt. Do sit down.
B: Thank you.
A: First of all, Mr. Pitt, I'd like you to tell me a bit about what you've been doing.
B: Well, I left school after I'd done my A levels.
A: Ah, yes, A levels. What subjects did you take？
B: I took 4 subjects: French, German, Chemistry, and art. Chemistry wasn't my cup of tea, but art has always been.
A: Art？
B: Well, I really want to study art. It didn't turn out like that, because a friend of my father offered me a job-he is an accountant in London. Quite a big firm, you know.
A: I see. A firm of accountants. Interesting! In your application, you say that you only spent 9 months with this firm of accountants. Why was that？
B: It was nearly a year actually. Well, to be quite honest, I didn't like it. I just couldn't seem to get interested in the job although there were fairly good prospects. So I got a place at the Art College to do a 3-year diploma course.
A: I see. Now, Mr. Pitt, what about hobbies and interests？ Uh, what do you do in your spare time？
B: I like jazz, traditional and folk music. I don't play, of course, but I go to quite a lot of concerts, and I go to the theatre occasionally and act a bit myself. I'm in the local drama society. I read quite a lot and I've done a bit of photography. Also, I've traveled a lot, hitchhiked all over Europe-last year, that was.
A: Very interesting, Mr. Pitt. I think that's all I wanted to ask about your background. Now let's talk about the management trainees' scheme. What exactly do you think a manager does？
B: I... don't know a great deal about the work.
A: But you have got any ideas about it？ You must have thought about it.
B: Well, er, I suppose he has a lot of what's called "policy-making" to do and he'd have to know how to work with people and all about the company.
A: Umm.
B: Yes, I should think a manager must know something about all aspects of the work.
A: Yes, that's right. We like your executive staff to undergo a thorough training. Young men on trainees' scheme have to work in every branch of the company.
B: Oh.
A: And one of them is accounting. Presumably you wouldn't like that.
B: Well, if I have to do it, I suppose. But I was thinking that my French and German would mean that I could specialize in overseas work. I would like to be some sorts of export salesman, and travel abroad.
A: You know the glamour of traveling abroad disappears when you've got a hard job or work to do. It's not all fun and game.
B: Oh, yes. I realize that. It's just that any knowledge of languages would be useful.
A: Now, Mr. Pitt, is there anything you want to ask me？
B: Well. There is one or two things. I'd like to know if rd have to sign a contract and what the salary and prospects are'？
A: With our scheme, Mr. Pitt, there is no contract involved. Your progress is kept under constant review. If we at any time decide we don't like you, then that's why we reserve the right to dismiss you.
B: I see.
A: Of course, you have the same choice about us.
B: Fair enough. And ... what about the salary？
A: As for salary, you'd be on our fixed scale starting at 870 pounds. For the successful trainee, the prospects are very good.
B: I see. Thank you very much.
A: That's all, Mr Pitt. You should hear from us in a couple of weeks, one way or the other, or we may ask you to come back for another chat. Thank you.
B: Goodbye, Mr. Williams.
A: Goodbye, Mr. Pitt.
What subject is Mr. Pitt good at？
Some politicians are scurrying about with march zest and anticipation. It is time, their polls inform. them, to find the quick fix for what they have determined is a society plagued by the irregular heartbeat of deficient values.
But there are contradictions that intrude on this denunciatory atmosphere. If there are moral omissions in the society, they cannot be sealed by instant, slenderly based attacks on entertainment. The plain fact is we are rearranging our priorities in the wrong way.
We are today misplacing our energies and our fundiug by directing all sorts of incentives to high schools and colleges. That is too late. The moral scaffolding has been built by then, for better or for worse. How then to begin this revision of life conduct？ We must introduce ill pre-school, and keep alive through grade five, a new school course.
The course could be titled, "What is right, and what is plainly wrong." For 30 minutes each day, the teacher would illuminate for these very young children what William Faulkner labeled "the old verities", the words that construct and implement the daily moral grind in every durable society must engage if it is to be judged a "just" society①.
These are words like duty, honor, service, integrity, pity, pride, compassion and sacrifice, plus the clear demonstration that violence is wrong. To the teaching of the meaning of those words must be added that cleansing rule of treating other people as you would want them to treat you. And most of all to make sure that these kids understand with growing clarity that borne, school and church are the sanctuaries for their later life.
There is a grand simplicity to this kind of school course. It enters a child's mind early, burrowing deep into those recesses of the human brain that even today advanced medical science has not been able to penetrate.
If you ask enough people, you will find that most of us remember our first or second grade teacher. I remember Miss Corbett and Miss Walker, who read to us before we really understood, but the words had weight and allure. We listened and, without really knowing it, we learned and saved what we learned. Perhaps, it was because what we heard in those early school years was the first entry into our learning vessel.
Absent this kind of early instruction, absent the building of this moral shield, no congressional law, no presidential executive order, no fiery rhetoric will salvage a child's conduct nor locate a missing moral core②.
According to the author, some politicians attribute the society's deteriorated moral values to ______.
