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.

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.
