听力原文: Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school graduates face so much competition that they seldom care what they do so long as they can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it, others move from one job to another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectations. Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institutions. Nearly all grope in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what the salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them. Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependents with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment. It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interests. In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interests. Nothing is more sad than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also waste your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck and a bitter person.

听力原文:M: So, what exactly are you doing to protect the elephants here?
W: Well, we have managed to raise a lot of money for this project. A lot of it is being used to compensate farmers for the damage that elephants do to their crops.
M: Hog, does that protect the elephants?
W: since the elephants cause damage to the crops, farmers are often tempted to go out and kill the elephants.
M: I see. So, the farmers don't have a real problem with the elephants until the elephants start eating the crops. But why do the elephants do that?
W: Well, there aren't enough trees to provide them with food on the land that has been reserved for them.
M: Mm. But: if you successfully protect the elephants, their numbers will grow and they will need more food, that means that they'll need more land.
W: That's true, but we've solved that problem too. What we do is move some elephants to reservations where there are relatively few.
M: So that's where you spend another large proportion of the money you raise.
W: Actually, it isn't very expensive because we share the cost with the people who run the other reservations.
M: I see. How do you decide which elephants to move?
W: We use two criteria. The first is that we maintain the genetic diversity of the elephant herd. The second is that we transport the more aggressive members of the herd, which results in us spending less money compensating farmers.
M: Are there any plans to expand the reservation?
W: We have allocated some money to land purchases, but such purchases could have a detrimental effect on the local human population so we rarely do it.
M: What kinds of research are you doing on the elephants here?
W: We're mainly studying the way that elephants interact with each other within a herd.
M: I see. Well, thanks very much for your time.
W: My pleasure.
