听力原文: E-mailed resumes account for 32 percent of all submissions to potential employers, according to a new survey of 160 executives representing the country's 1,000 largest companies. And 45 percent of employers now prefer to receive resumes by e-mail according to Office-team, the employment center that conducted the study. That's a striking contrast to two years ago, when just 5 percent of respondents stated a preference for resumes via e-mail.
The poll also revealed that 21 percent of executives prefer getting resumes by mail, 11 percent prefer faxes, and the rest had no stated preference.
However, even with an informal medium like e-mail, job hunters should still pay strict attention to professional presentation of themselves. E-mails sent from a user name like "Fast-car" or "Sherlock" is a strict no-no, says Management Recruitment International, a staffing-service firm. And remember don't use an office e-mail account for personal business.
Other tips: ensure that the resume is in a format friendly to most brim, and send the document in both text and as an attachment, preferred by a brief cover letter. Also, include your name and the position you're interested in on the e-mail's subject line to distinguish your resume from others submitted.

W: I haven't quite finished mine yet. I had trouble getting past the beginning.
M: How come?
W: Well, I was really happy to be writing a detective story. But after the first few pages, I sort of froze up mentally. I just couldn't write any more.
M: The same thing happened to me. I thought it meant I lack imagination.
W: Well, Professor Wilson said it's pretty common for writers to get stuck like that.
M: Yon went to talk to her about it?
W: Actually, I went to ask for more time to finish the assignment. But instead she gave me some advice about bow to keep from getting stalled writing like that. She said that the first thing I should do is just write anything that comes into my head even if it doesn't make any sense, sort of warm up exercise.
M: That is interesting. When I get stuck, I shift to something else, you know, do some work for one of my other courses.
W: Well, hex methods seem to have worked for me. I've written most of the story, and I should be able to hand in on time. But first I need to go to the jewelry store.
M: You are going shopping? Can't you wait until you finish your story?
W: I am going there for my story. My detective solves a jewelry store robbery, so I went to take a look at how the jewelry cases are arranged, where the security cameras are located, that sort of thing.

D. A jewelry store robbery.

听力原文:W: Howard, what are you working on now?
M: I have just finished a piece on the background music.
W: Background music? Oh, like the music they're playing here now.
M: Yes. You can hear it everywhere — in restaurants, airports, supermarkets, department stores and so on. It's supposed to influence your attitudes, put you in the right mood.
W: I am not sure I like that idea.
M: Well, it seems to work. Companies pay millions of dollars every year for background music. It's supposed to give you a better feeling about yourself and the people around you. Factories use it a lot. It makes the workers happy, and they work better that way. In one factory, music increased production 4.5 percent.
W: I should think they'd get tired of hearing music all day.
M: They don't, though. One fellow in San Francisco told me, "If the music stops, somebody always runs to the telephone to complain."
W: Now that I think about it, I can't remember when there wasn't background music in restaurants and stores.
M: That shows how young you are. Actually, it all started during World War Ⅱ when some factories had their own orchestras to keep workers happy and calm. Now different kinds of music are playing at different times during the day. They play faster music at ten in the morning than at eight, for instance, because workers tend to be slower then.
W: What about restaurants? Do they play the same music for dinner and lunch?
M: I don't know about that, but I do know that hamburger places play fast music. When they started playing faster music, they found that a customer spent only seventeen minutes eating. The time was twenty-minutes before that.
(23)

An orchestra conductor.
B. An music fan.
C. A sales manager in a music company.
D. A background music composer.

Part B
Directions: Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2.
It doesn't take an Einstein to recognize that Albert Einstein's brain was very different from yours and mine The gray matter housed inside that shaggy head managed to revolutionize our concepts of time, space, motion — the very foundations of physical reality — not just once but several times during his astonishing career. 61)Yet while there clearly had to be something remarkable about Einstein's brain, the pathologist who removed it from the great physicist's skull after his death reported that the organ was.to all appearances, well within the normal range — no bigger or heavier than anyone else's.
But a new analysis of Einstein's brain by Canadian scientists, reported in the current Lancet, reveals that it has some distinctive physical characteristics after all. 62)<>A portion of the brain that governs mathematical ability and spatial reasoning—two key ingredients to the sort of thinking Einstein did best — was significantly larger than average and may also have had more interconnections among its ceils, which could have allowed them to work together more effectively.<>
In 1996,Harvey gave much of his data and a significant fraction of the tissue itself to Dr Sandra Witel-son, a neuroscientist who maintains a "brain bank" at McMaster for comparative studies of brain structure and function. 63)These normal, undiseased brains, willed to science by people whose intelligence had been carefully measured before death, gave Witelson a solid set of benchmarks against which to measure the seat of Einstein's brilliant thoughts.
Not only was Einstein's inferior parietal region unusually bulky, the scientists found, but a feature called the Sylvian fissure was much smaller than average, 64)Without this groove that normally slices through the tissue, the brain cells were pecked close together, permitting more interconnections—which in principle can permit more cross-referencing of information and ideas, leading to great leaps of insight.
That's the idea, anyway. But while it's quite plausible according to current neurological theory, that doesn't necessarily make it true. We know Einstein was a genius, end we now know that his brain was physically different from the average. But none of this proves a cause-and-effect relationship. "What you really need, "says McLean's Benes," is to look at the brains of a number of mathematical geniuses to see if the same abnormalities are present."
Even if they are, it's possible that the bulked-brains are a result of strenuous mental exercise, not an inherent feature that makes genius possible. 65)Bottom line: we still don't know whether Einstein was born with an extraordinary mind or whether he earned it, one brilliant idea at a time.
