听力原文： In some large American city schools, as many as 20-40% of the students are absent each day. There are two major reasons for such absences: one is sickness, and the other is truancy. That is staying away from school without permission. Since school officials can't do much about the illness, they are concentrating on reducing the number of truancy. One of the most promising schemes has been tried in Florida. The pupils there with good attendance have been given free hamburgers, toys and T-shirts. Classes are told if they show improved rates of attendance, they can win additional gifts. At the same time, teachers are encouraged to inspire their students to come to school regularly. When those teachers are successful, they are also rewarded. "We've been punishing truancy for years, but that hasn't brought them back to school," one school principal said. Now we are trying the positive approach. Not only do you learn by showing up every day, but you earn. In San Francisco, the board of education has had a somewhat similar idea. Schools that show a decrease in deliberate destruction of property can receive the amount of money that would be spent on repairs and replacements. For example, 12,000 dollars had been set 'aside for a school's property damages every year. Since repair expenses of damaged property required only 4,000 dollars, the remaining 8,000 dollars was turned over to the student activity fund. "Our democracy operates on hope and encouragement," said the school board member. "Why not provide some positive goals for students and teachers to aim at？"

Whose performance do father and daughter agree upon in the movie？
听力原文：W: Russ, it's good to see you.
M: Good morning, Vera. Nice to see you.
W: So the job market is good, ha？ M: It's very good. Employers planned to hire about 14% more grads this year than last, a very good time to be an accounting major, engineering major, finance major, but really the demand is across the board. It's the best job market we've seen in 4 or 5 years.
W: And what do you attribute this hiring surge to？
M: Ah, largely a reflection of the economic conditions. Corporate growth of course has been good, corporate profits arc strong, so companies feel more comfortable hiring. As you know, the entry-level market is most sensitive to the economic conditions.
W: Right.
M: Conditions are good; hiring is on the up.
W: What about, what about starting salaries？ Are they higher this year than years past？
M: Those are very good as well. You, ah, there are up about 6 percent more this year than last with the average starting salary at a whopping 46,000 dollars. And you can do better than that, if you're engineering major or looking at potentially 50 -55 thousand dollars to start, perhaps even the signing bonuses are making a comeback as well.
W: Hmm. You've got some advice, er, for college grads as they're looking for a job. The first thing you say is do not rely on the Internet. Why？
M: Don't rely ,on the Internet as your only job searching strategy. It's fine if it's a component of the strategy, but should not be your only strategy, because only about 20 percent of the jobs are advertised in any public medium and only about 5 percent of the job seekers actually end up getting a job through an advertisement. So your best job searching tool, networking, word of mouth, getting the "no word" out there.
W: Yeah, that's a good point.
Which of the following major is NOT popular in the job market？
