听力原文：W: John, have a look at this note from the landlord？
M: What？ It's too much for us. We can't afford another twenty dollars a month.
What are the speakers talking about？
A．a salary cut.
B．A house.
C．A rent increase.
D．A vacation trip.
W: Well，I think most people want to have a secure future. Um，however，the information they need to achieve financial security isn't at their fingertips. For example，well，they need to establish their goals，for instance，how much money do they need to live？
M: Then how much money do you think people need to save for themselves？
W: Welt，the thing is，you should have 3-6 months of monthly salary saved，so whatever your monthly salary is，you should have enough to pay your expenses for 3-6 months without any income.
M: And then in addition to that，most of us need to plan for college，retirement，taking care of parents，etc.
W: Uh-huh. And the kinds of things that rise up unexpectedly，for example，like the water heater blowing up or the car not starting in the morning.
M: So，what's the biggest mistake people make？
W: Well，they tend to live from paycheck to paycheck. And when something unexpected occurs，if they don't have someone to help，they just go deeper and deeper into debt，then fall farther and farther behind their payments.
M: So，if you could give people one piece of advice to make their financial future more secure，what would you suggest？
W: The best advice I can give is that“Pay yourself first”. When you get your paycheck，save some portion of it，even $i0 a week. That's giving up a movie or one stop at a fast food restaurant.

B．To recruit counselors to work in the placement office.
C．To inform. students of a university program.
D．To convince local merchants to hire college students.
听力原文： As a result of rising university costs, many students are finding it necessary to take on part-time jobs. To make finding those jobs easier, the placement service has put together a listing of what is available locally. For some students, these part-time jobs could lead to the full-time work after graduation, as they may offer experience in their own field, be that finance, marketing or even management. For example, National Savings Bank offers work on a half-time basis. That's 20 hours per week. Retail stores and restaurants have positions requiring fewer hours. Even less time is expected of those providing child care. We have a number of families registered with us who are looking for baby sitters for as few as four hours a week. For students who prefer outdoor work, there're seasonal positions right on campus, working with the gardening and landscaping teams. These often require the most time and they are the least flexible in terms of scheduling. To see a complete list of these and other available jobs, including the salary offered and the hours required, stop by our office and be sure to bring a resume with you. When you find something that interests you, we'll put you in touch with the person offering it. In addition, our counselors will give you hints about a successful interviewing.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. What's the purpose of the talk？
33. What should students bring with them to the office？
34. What will the counselors at the office help students do？
35. What do the jobs have in common？

There are three of us in Personnel and I'm the one you should come to for any help or information. The other two are Tom Miller and Jeff Said, and my name is Joan Rueckert, that's R-U-E-C-K-E-R-T. I'd just like to give you a few practical details now, before the MD comes to talk to you.
Firstly, the canteen on the ground floor is open all day for coffee, meals, etc. , but there are also coffee machines on the top floor, where we have all the company noticeboards, so staff often meet there to talk.
Next, some of you have asked about your tax position ... and for any tax questions, you need to contact the Accounts Office, general salary enquiries can be made to the Finance Office itself. Two events, now. Today, in the conference room, at 2:40, there'll be a presentation it's not on new developments as the notices say, it's actually on marketing. You're welcome to attend to see how we're moving in that area. There'll also be a buffet lunch for all staff working on the. new projects — that includes you, that's on Wednesday — sorry, I mean Thursday — you'll get full details later.
Finally, sometimes you'll need to use the machines in the print room. The first time you go there, register for a plastic card — you don't need it for ordinary photocopiers, but you do for the colour ones.
The other thing to sign up for, if you want to, is the sports club, just two minutes from hero. If you're interested, see Jeff Said, who'll give you an application form.
Right, that's all for the moment. Here's coffee, and the MD is just come through now.

A:How about other aspects？

？For each question(31-40)，write one word in CAPITAL LETTERS on your Answer Sheet．
Enjoy Idleness
In his 1935 essay，" In Praise of Idleness，" British philosopher Bertrand Russell wrote，" I think there is far (31) much work done in the world and immense harm is caused by the belief that work is virtuous．" Russell advocated shortening the work day to four hours．And people all over the world ignored his advice．Although the sweatshops and fourteen-hour work days are gone in most industrialized countries today， studies reveal that people in most of these countries believe they are working (32) and harder than ever．
In the United States，the hours available for leisure each week dropped from 24.3 in 1975 to 19.2 in 1995．An associate partner in a U．S．architectural firm reported (33) working 70 to 80 hours a week is the norm in her field．In a recent survey of 150 Canadian executives，75 percent stated they were working so hard that their personal relationships were suffering．Compaq Canada's director of channel sales and development says he arrives at his office by 6:30am，leaves (34) ．7:30pm．and always works at home in the evenings．According to an International Research Association study，72 percent of Brazilians consider work more important than leisure，as (35) ．67 percent of Philippine workers and 66 percent of workers in Venezuela．
Many people blame technology (36) our longer working hours．Instead of giving us more leisure time as predicted，it seems to tie us more securely to our offices．In the davs before fax，email，and videoconferencing，the office closed．Today we take the office (37) us．A British manager，for example，can stay at work until midnight for a conference with the California branch．Corporate downsizing is another contributor， because remaining workers have to do the iobs of those who have been laid off．Basically， however，people just seem to feel they need to work harder．According to Carole Pemberton，a research consultant with a British management organization；people worked hard in the 1960s to get ahead；now they feel they must work (38) just to stay where they are．
In the short run。workers may be rewarded for 10ng hours，but experts point out that ultimately people suffer (39) exhaustion，stress，and depression．To improve the quality of their lives，many U．S．workers are changing jobs and taking salary cuts．Internationally，organizations are helping workers to slow down．When conducting performance reviews，the Bank of Montreal no longer rewards managers for working interminable hours．In Japan，Sony encourages (40) to take every day of holiday entitlement．In Great Britain，a group launched the" Long Hours On Time!Get a Life．" It remains to be seen if workers around，the world will take this advice．
