听力题 W: Oh, Rex, I have been looking for you for hours. Where have you been? M: Hi, Judie. I went shopping with my friend. What''s up? W: I have tins great job lined up to manage the book store at the mall. M: Fantastic! You know what, I''ve applied for that position, too. But I was rejected. You''re so lucky. So what''s the problem? W: Well, one of the professors in my department just told me about a winter internship program that''s available. He thinks I might be able to intern in the office of the IBM branch here in town. M: That sounds like a great opportunity too. What are you waiting for? Why not take advantage of it? W: I''d love to, especially as I''m studying computer science. It would be a great way to get some practical experience in my field. M: And you never know, it might lead to something with them after graduation. They are one of the biggest companies in the world. IBM! That''s my dream company! W: You''re right. But the drawback is I wouldn''t be making nearly as much money as I would be working in the book store, not to mention the discount I could get on books there. M: Forget about the money! We''re talking about your future here. W: Yes, I know. But... M: How much is the internship paid? W: They pay their internship about $600 for die whole winter holiday and give free room and board for the holiday. M: Well, if I were you, I would take the internship anyway. You could always get a job during the school year next year to make a few extra bucks.
