W: That's not bad. What about the other one?
M: The second place is on Anderson Road across from the Village Park, and it's cheaper, only $300.
W: Which one do you prefer?

W: But it costs more money.
M: Yes, the second one is also OK. It's across from the park where children play.

听力原文: A man had to go to court, and he asked his lawyer which judge would be hearing his case. His lawyer told him and then said "Do you know him?"
The man answered, "No, but I wanted to know his name so that I could send him a dozen bottles of good wine."
The lawyer was terribly shocked. "You can't do that. You would be breaking the law very seriously, and you would be sure to lose the case."
Some weeks later the case was heard, and the man won it. As he was leaving the court, he said to the lawyer, "My gift to the judge was quite successful, wasn't it?"
The lawyer was even more shocked than before, and said, "What? Did you really send him that wine after what I told you?"
"Yes, certainly," answered the man. "But I put my opponent's name on the card which I sent with the wine."

Exceptional managers have "something special" that sets them apart from the crowd. It's not as mysterious as it sounds. Most of the time, that something special is the sheer determination to' maintain positive habits of success. Do you want to join the ranks of highly effective managers? You can start with these seven proven career boosters.
1. Increase your self-discipline
If you are like most people, you find it easy to do a good job when you are in high spirits. The real test comes when you are not feeling motivated or particularly energetic. Are these good enough reasons to snap at customers or behave like a nasty martyr at work? No!
As a manager, like it or not, you are a role model. You set the standard when it comes to personal behavior, so make sure that standard is high. A moment of impulsiveness can tear down years of hard work when it comes to your career and reputation.
2. Show consistent kindness
Good managers don't throw their weight around or rely on intimidation to get results. Do you? Any job—especially management positions—involves the support and assistance of others. You can't perform. effectively as a one-man band. Thus, it is foolish to burn bridges and keep off co-workers.
3. Stretch goals
What if the following words came out of an airplane loudspeaker: "Folks, I have good news and bad news. The bad news is we have lost our direction finder and one engine. The good news is we have a tail wind, so wherever we're going we will get there at a rate of 600 miles an hour," The bad news certainly outweighs the good, right? So it is with your career. Without goals that are clear in your mind—goals to which you are firmly committed—your career flight plan is tragically flawed. Working at a quick pace does not amount to much if you don't have a clear vision of the end result you are striving to achieve.
4. Welcome criticism
Criticism may sting, but you must embrace feedback and not avoid it. After all, how else will you know what to improve upon? Don't fool yourself into thinking other opinions don't matter. In the business world, your credibility and reputation play a key role in how far—and how quickly—you move ahead. Soliciting input from others always leaves you with a clearer view of your blind spots. Becoming defensive and hostile when faced with constructive criticism will insulate you from the truth and greatly limit your potential.
5. Be a solution-finder, not a problem-identifier
It takes no particular talent to find fault, but many behave as though their "gift" must be shared again and again. You may know people at work who constantly nit-pick about company decisions. These professional problem-identifiers generally get stuck mid-way up the career ladder. Choosing to criticize or blame your superiors for their decisions shows great disloyalty and sets a lousy example for your staff. You have a duty to stand behind the powers, regardless of whether or not you agree whole-heartedly with their decisions. Do you have to suffer in silence when you disagree violently with something at work? Not at all. You can develop the habit of criticizing positively by recommending a more perfect solution.
6. Show boundless enthusiasm
Enthusiasm is contagious, and successful managers realize the effect their attitude has on their mood and productivity. Const
