听力原文:M: Miss Grace, I'm glad that you've made it through that heavy snow. W: Yes, I was not expecting so much snow here and it is colder than I expected. I was unable to book a taxi from the hotel, so I had to get up early and come by bus. M: We are having extraordinary weather this winter. Even so, you are on time for your appointment. During this interview, I would like to give you a brief overview of our MBA program and job requirements. You'll want to know this background information, then I'll need to get some information from you. If you have questions, please feel free to ask them. W: All right. M: You are aware that we have a special purpose for this MBA program. We want to help young professionals find direction and position. The student should earn a certificate upon completion of the program. W: There is definitely a shortage of trained personnel in this area. M: From your resume, I notice that you have experience in the business world as well as in teaching MBA courses. What do you consider to be your strong points? W: My present employer says I am creative but practical. He has commented more than once I'm the best CEO he's ever had. M: If you are hired, what would you plan to do for our students? W: I would hope to help the students become diligent and efficient employees. I would give them a solid foundation in managerial expertise as well as professional knowledge. M: Miss Grace, you will be taking a cut in salary by coming here. Would you mind telling me why you are considering a change of jobs? Is it because of your health? Many people come to this city for the mild climate, and of course for the clean air. This winter is an exception, though. W: No, I just love to work with young people, and I'd like to share with them my work experience. (47)
