听力题M: Excuse me. Have you been waiting long

听力题 I flew to San Francisco to take care of some business with Mr. Jordan. But as soon as I arrived, I got sick and couldn’t meet with him. I had to call our appointment off. Then, when I felt better I thought about visiting him at his home, but he lived too far away. I tried to telephone him during office hours, but he was busy. The receptionist said that Mr. Jordan would call me back, but he didn’t. I gave up trying to make a new appointment because it would take more time and effort than I wanted to spend. A few days later, I saw a man on the street who looked like Mr. Jordan, and I called out to him. It was someone else. When I returned to my hotel that day, I found a message, which said that Mr. Jordan had gone out of town on some sudden unexpected business. I was sorry I had missed seeing him, but I really enjoyed my sightseeing in San Francisco. I flew to San Francisco to take care of some business with Mr. Jordan.

听力题 Students sitting the National College Entrance Exam are likely to see cell phone signals blocked inside exam sites this year to prevent cheating. While education authorities said they would use modern technology to tighten management of exam sites, the new regulation didn''t bother the majority of local exam takers. The new regulation, which was issued by the Ministry of Education, suggested cities—especially those with a track record of cheating scandals—equip exam sites with cell phone signal shielding facilities. It means handsets won''t work even if students have their phones on during the exam. "The city will follow the Ministry of Education''s instruction," said Wang Xin, a publicity official with the Shanghai Education Commission. "But exam site management details have yet to be worked out. Previously, students were only asked to switch off cell phones. However, people could switch their phones to vibration mode." In June, 18 students in Guizhou Province were disqualified from the exam after they attempted to seek help from teachers by sending exam questions via short message. A popular measure that exam organizers take is to install a microelectronic wave detector. An alarm sounds if a cell phone is found working in the classroom. Officials said it is impractical to simply ban handsets from exam rooms as students can hide them in many places or use other devices.

听力题 There are three groups of English learners: beginners, intermediate learners, and learners of special English. Beginners need to learn the basics of English. Students who have reached an intermediate level benefit from learning general English skills. But what about students who want to learn specialist English for their work or professional life? Most students, who fit into this third group have a clear idea about what they want to learn. A bank clerk, for example, wants to use this specialist vocabulary and technical terms of finance. But for teachers, deciding how to teach specialist English is not always so easy. For a start, the variety is enormous. Every field from air-line pilots to secretaries has its own vocabulary and technical terms. Teachers also need to have an up-to-date knowledge of that specialist language, and not many teachers are exposed to working environments outside the classroom. These issues have influenced the way specialist English is taught in schools. This type of course is usually known as English for Specific Purposes, or ESP and there are ESP courses for almost every area of professional and working life. In Britain, for example, there are courses which teach English for doctors, lawyers, reporters, travel agents and people working in the hotel industry. By far, the most popular ESP courses are for business English. There are three groups of English learners: beginners, intermediate learners, and learners of special English.
