W: Yeah. My leg still hurts from the 1ast incident.
M: Hey,he's just a playful little beast. He likes to bark a little,and his bark is worse than his bite. Just feed him a can of dog food a day,and make sure he has plenty of water in his dish.
[Oh]And then,take him for a walk around the block.
W: Well,how about if I just throw a Frisbee over the fence to give him some exercise?Wouldn't that work?
M: Ah,and then,he likes to watch the 3:00 soap opera on Channel 4[What?]…and brush his teeth after you give him some doggie treats around 4:00. And,then brush his fur for about twenty minutes. He tends to shed this time of year.
[Ah,what?]And then scratch him around the ears. Otherwise,he feels neglected.
W: Man,you really pamper your dog. Is that it?
M: Well,and then there's Claws.
W: Claws?Who's Claws?
M: Oh,he's the cat we adopted from the animal shelter,but he's a little temperamental.
W: What do you mean“temperamental”?
M: Well,he has mood swings[Mood swings?],but he's been doing better since he's been going to the animal therapist. So,be sure to feed him a half cup of cat food two times a day[What?A therapist…],and don't forget to put on some soft classical music during his nap time at 2:40 P. m. But don't let him out of the house because he might run away and chase the neighbor's dog.
W: You have some high-maintenance animals.
M: Not really. And,don't forget to change the cat 1itter daily,or he might have an accident on the carpet.
[Oh,great. ]And finally,there's Buttercup.
W: Buttercup?Who's Buttercup…?I'm afraid to ask.
M: Ah,she's a sweetie[What?]…if you know how to handle her right.
[Oh,great. ]Wait. Let me get her for you. Here you are.
W: That's…That's a snake…[Hold her. ]That's a big snake with big fangs. Does the snake go to a therapist,too?
M: Of course not…just an anger-management class.
W: Oh!What?
M: I'm joking. Buttercup is a very docile creature,and she never bites anyone she likes. If she doesn't. you'll know because she starts hissing and staring at you…. kind like what she's doing now.
W: Well,I'm leaving. You must be going out of your mind to think I'm going to watch a zoo full of misunderstood animals. You'd better hire some professional help'cause I wouldn't watch them even if you paid me a million dollars.

听力原文: Sometimes we say that someone we know is "a square peg in a round hole". This simply means that the person we are talking about is not suited for the job he is doing. He may be a bookkeeper who really wants to be an actor or a mechanic who likes cooking. Unfortunately, many people in the world are "square pegs", they are not doing the kind of work they should be doing, for one reason or another. As a result they probably are not doing a very good job and certainly they are not happy.
Choosing the right career is very important. Most of us spend a great part of our lives at our jobs. For that reason we should try to find out what our talents are and how we can use them. We can do this through aptitude tests, interviews with specialists, and study of books in our field of interest.
There are many careers open to each of us. Perhaps we like science, then we might prepare ourselves to be chemists, physicists, or biologists. Maybe our interests take us into the business world and such work as accounting, personnel management or public relations. Many persons find their place in government service. Teaching, newspaper work, medicine, engineering—these and many other fields offer fascinating careers to persons with talent and training.
