听力原文: Is your job doing harm to your health? If you are like a lot of American workers today, you experience a significant amount of stress in work. Stress doesn't just make you unhappy at work. It can affect your health. Doctors say people under stress have higher blood pressure, even when they are away from work. And they are at a higher risk for death from any cause than those who are more relaxed.
How do you know if your job could be a risk to your health? Some danger signs include difficulty getting to sleep or difficulty waking up in the morning, forgetfulness, aches and pains for no apparent reason, a desire to eat less or tendency to eat poorly, loss of interest in activities, etc. Everyone has bad days in which they feel many of these symptoms, but if you have noticed several of them, and you have experienced them for months, you may need to do something.
If you notice these signs in yourself or your beloved one, check with your doctor to eliminate other possibilities. If the cause does appear to be stress, experts say you should try to make time for yourself away from work. Try relaxing in a warm bubble bath, listening to music and shutting out the world for a while.

听力原文: Many people think of schools as buildings, teachers and students. Proprietary schools, however, think first of the students. They are interested most in satisfying their customers--the students. Proprietary schools are privately-owned vocational schools. To remain in business they must give students what they, students, want to learn at a fair price. The students themselves usually pay for the cost of the training. Thus, the school must offer the training that is practical and that will help students get a paying job. Generally the training lasts from six months to one year.
Courses in proprietary schools not only include training in business and technical skills, but also in self-improvement, such as painting, crafts, speech and physical development. The field currently with most students is car's motorology, with nearly 3,000 schools in operation.
Teachers in proprietary schools generally work longer hours than public schools. However, the quality of instruction is high, because teachers work closely with students. Some schools ask students to evaluate the teachers.
Proprietary schools emphasize applied rather than theoretical knowledge. They are often willing to experiment with new ideas in their teaching. The teachers themselves come from the real world of work. Most of them are professionals, and they know what the students will need on the job. Courses are given in short segments. This helps to give the students a sense of accomplishment. Automated education is used with success and team-teaching is common.
