【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】Man: It's the first time I've been over there since we decided to go ahead with the expansion and I must say I was impressed with the number of really good candidates there were. It is really a good region, in terms of being able to attract and recruit the right people. I wish the same thing was true for the other branches. What I just can't believe is that I managed to set such a bad example by arriving a while hour after we should have started. I felt like a real fool, going on about heavy traffic. When I'd never accept that kind of excuse myself!

E
【答案解析】Woman: Of course, I was looking forward to it. I mean, it meant seeing the results of quite a lengthy process to find the right person, which I myself had invested quite a lot of time in. It's a demanding post, with a lot of responsibility. I think the new manager's going to deliver that sort of new initiatives we hoped for. She's already got the team adapting to her approach.

B
【答案解析】Woman: They said it was all difficult, and they certainly weren't wrong! I could hardly believe some of it! It's definitely eye-opening to see what each practice can mean in reality. But the way they're applying it I mean the actual techniques, is really impressive. I'll definitely be recommended that some of their new working practices can get applied in other branches.
【正确答案】
F
【答案解析】Man: Well, the whole thing was a serious challenge. I didn't feel up to it in the first place. It wasn't a good time to be asked to present the new policies to the stuff. We've decided to change the rules. They'd be applied in all the departments and it is believed to function well. The only thing is that the paper work was not prepared as expected and left me disoriented and underperformed in the meeting.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】Woman: I really don't like the place. The car parking space seems dirty and the neighborhood is full of people from different countries. What I am looking for is a quiet community. Although the house doesn't necessarily be a newly built, it should not be such an old one.
