听力原文：W: Can I help you？
M: Yes, I'd like to look at some articles that are on reserve in the library for Anthropology 311.
W: Prof. Gill's class？
M: That's right. How could you know？
W: Let's just say you are not the first person coming asking for those articles.
M: Oh, well, since I haven't read any of them yet, it doesn't really matter which one you give me first.
W: I'm afraid I can't give you any of them at the moment. They've all been checked out.
M: You're kidding, all of them？
W: Every last one. I've asked Prof Gill twice already to bring in additional copies of the articles, but no sooner do I place them on the shelf than they are gone. See that girl in the black sweater？ She's been waiting for half an hour for those same articles to be returned.
M: Oh, great. And here I went out of my way to free out the whole afternoon to read.
W: I'm sorry, but there is not a whole lot I can do about it. All I can suggest is that you come in first thing tomorrow morning and try again. We open at 8.

听力原文： Peru is a country on the west coast of South America. It has five neighbor countries: Brazil, witch is situated to the east; Ecuador and Colombia which are to the north; and Bolivia and Chile, which are to the southeast. As I said, Peru is oil the west coast of the continent, so it has another neighbor: not another country, but the Pacific Ocean.
Peru is a large country. It's about one thousand three hundred kilometers long, and five hundred and sixty kilometers wide. Its land area is about one million two hundred and eighty five thousand square kilometers.
There are three main regions. First, there's the area along the coast, in the west; it's quite low, and it covers about ten percent of the whole country. Then there are the Andes Mountains. They run down the middle of Peru. They are very high, and they cover 25 percent of the country. Finally there are the forests and jungles of the east, covering the remaining 65 percent of the land.
As for the climate, it varies according to each region, so it can be divided into three. The western area near the coast has a dry climate. The central mountainous region, the Andes, is cool, with snow all the year on the highest peaks. The eastern forests are extremely wet, with an average rainfall of two hundred and fifty centimeters a year.

Even as the economy improves, a jobless executive may face up to a year or more of unemployment. This is a lot of time, especially for hard charging high-performers who are not used to having any free time. While some job seekers spend hundreds —even thousands --of hours discovering daytime television, others seem to thrive on activities that boost their professional careers or resolve family issues when they aren't working.
Having an extended period of free time in the prime of one's life can in fact be a unique opportunity to focus on volunteer service, professional education or personal growth.
Community Involvement
For Lisa Perez, the wakeup call was burned pork chops. An executive who previously hadn't been particularly interested in home and health had become obsessed with homemaking during a stint of unemployment.
She realized that cleaning and organizing her home wasn't helping her job search. Nevertheless, "I made lists of 50 things to do every day," says Ms. Perez, a political and public-relations consultant in Scottsdale, Ariz. "My house was spotless, just so I'd have something to do."
One day, her boyfriend didn't arrive on time for dinner because he had to work late, and her pork chops were ruined. She threw a fit. "I'd never been a person like that," she says. "So I decided to stop feeling sorry for myself, and go out and do something productive."
Ms. Perez, 35, resolved to become an active volunteer for the duration of her search. She gave her time to a health-care concern, a housing program and a political campaign.
The work bolstered her self-confidence. "Volunteering takes the focus off of you. One thing you have that's still valuable is your time. And, of course, you learn that there are thousands of people with a life that's much worse than yours," she says.
Volunteer assignments are also great ways to meet powerful and well-connected people. Over a six-month period, her volunteering evolved into working as a paid consultant and then as a full-time employee, a job she still holds today. In all, she was unemployed for eight months.
Before her job loss, she thought she didn't have time to volunteer while working. "Now, even though I have a demanding job, I still volunteer, because of what I got out of it," says Ms. Perez.
Continuing Education
Gene Bellavance, a 36 year old information-technology project manager, took another route during his unemployment. When he was laid off from a steel company near Cleveland, he knew his immediate prospects were bleak. He expected his search to take a year. He faced a decision: take a job that would set back his career or hold out for an offer he really wanted.
Mr. Bellavanee, single and virtually debt free, shifted his finances into survival mode. He cashed out his pension, sold his house, unloaded things he didn't need at gar age sales, and rented an apartment with a roommate. Then, he says, "I signed up for every benefit I could find."
But he wasn't just waiting out the year. He spent the rest of his search updating his skills, including becoming certified in new database and project management software. "You have to invest in yourself," Mr. Bellavance says. "I estimated what technology was going to be the most beneficial and chose applications that were going to be pervasive, that were right for my market, and that were going to ensure top pay."
In addition to income from the occasional IT-consulting assignment, he relied on a combination of displaced-worker-retraining grants and unemployment benefits. "I went out and found the classes, submitted the paperwork, and dealt with the bureaucracy. You have to stay after them, keeping your benefits moving forward. It's up to you to make it work with your overall transition plan," he says.
His job search was one month shy of the
