【答案解析】[听力原文]
Interviewer: Good morning, Mr. Pitt. Do sit down.
Pitt: Thank you.
Interviewer: First of all, Mr. Pitt. I'd like you to tell me a bit about what you've been doing.
Pitt: Well, I left school after I'd done my A levels.
Interviewer: Ah, yes, A levels. What subjects did you take?
Pitt: I took four subjects, French, German, chemistry and art. Chemistry wasn't my cup of tea, but art has always been.
Interviewer: Art?
Pitt: Well, I really wanted to study art. It didn't turn out like that, because a friend of my father's offered me a job. It's an accountant in London. A quite big firm, you know.
Interviewer: I see. A firm of accountants. Interesting. In your application, you say that you only spent nine months with this firm of accountants. Why was that?
Pitt: It was nearly a year actually. Well, to be quite honest, I didn't like it. I just couldn't seem to get interested in the job although there were fairly good prospects. So I got a place at the art college to do a three-year diploma course.
Interviewer: I see. Now let's talk about the management trainee scheme. What exactly do you think a manager does?
Pitt: I don't know a great deal about the work. Well, I... Suppose he has a lot of... a... what is called policy making to do. And... he has to know how to work with people, and all about the company.
Interviewer: Mm.
Pitt: Yes, I... should think a manager must know something about all aspects of the work.
Interviewer: Yes, that's right. We like our executive staff to undergo a thorough training. Young men on our trainee scheme have to work through every branch in the company. And one of them is accountancy. Presumably you wouldn't like that.
Pitt: Well, if I had to do it, I suppose... But I was thinking that my French and German would mean that I could specialize in overseas work. I'd like to be some sort of an export salesman and travel abroad.
Interviewer: You know, the glamour of traveling abroad disappears when you've got a hard job of work to do. It's not all fun and game.
Pitt: Oh yes, I realize that. It's just that my knowledge of languages would be useful.
Interviewer: Now, Mr. Pitt, is there anything you want to ask me?
Pitt: Well, there is one or two things. I'd like to know if I have to sign a contract and what the salary and prospects are.
Interviewer: The prospects are very good for the successful trainee. As for salary, you'll be on our fixed scales, starting at 870 pounds.
Pitt: I see. Thank you very much. Mrs. Williams.
Interviewer: That's all, Mr. Pitt. You should hear from us in a couple of weeks.
Which subject does the man say he is not interested in?
