听力原文:W: Dr. Eric, you were a political journalist in America and I was told that you've chosen to live here, a mountain village like this in the Himalayan Community. Could you tell me why you came to India and settled down here?
M: Yes, certainly. I came to India a year ago to have a better understanding of the country. After I arrived, I had to find a place where I could live and write. After some months I settled down happily in this village because it is a little cooler.
W: Is the experience in this country so important to you that you came all the way from the United States?
M: Well, that's also the question that the villagers ask me. Why do I isolate myself from the outside world in this remote village, like a retired old man? I am no longer working as a political journalist because my ideas have changed. I've come to believe that what is happening in the Third World is more important than anything else. I want to understand how three quarters of the world's people live, and how their future might affect the rest of the world.
W: I must say I find your view on this issue very convincing. I'm sure when you go back to your own country you'll find your stay here very rewarding.

M: That's rather young. What experience have you had?
W: Well, I've just left school, in fact, and I'm looking for a job between now and when I go to college.
M: It doesn't sound as if we can help, Katie. You see, our clients are very demanding, especially when it comes to new office technology.
W: Oh, that's no problem. I took extra classes in office skills at school.
M: Oh, perhaps you'd like to outline what you've been doing?
W: I started by learning keyboard skills. Then I went on to learn about word processing.
M: Good. You seem qualified from the technical point of view. But how well do you think you'll get along with people in an office?
