In this section you will hear ONE interview. The interview will be divided into TWO parts. At the end of each part, five questions will be asked about what was said. Both the interview and the questions will be spoken ONCE ONLY. After each question there will be a ten-second pause. During the pause, you should read the four choices of A, B, C and D, and mark the best answer to each question on ANSWER SHEET TWO.
You have THIRTY seconds to preview the questions.
(a thirty-second interval)
Now listen to Part One of the interview.
A: I’ve heard about the recent survey that found a third of us are living with extreme stress. Well, as the holiday is approaching, the shopping season kicks in, it’s not gonna get any easier. So we’ve decided it’s time to enlist some stress reducing help from professionals. Nice to have you here, Dr. Daniel Burt-Murray. I know that you also write articles for some fashion magazines, right? This is a time of the year when all of us, I think, get so overloaded. And I know this is something that many of your patients or clients have complained about, isn’t that right?
B: Absolutely, absolutely. One of the things they’re telling me about is as they’re coming down to the end of the year, they’re feeling a lot of pressure with work deadlines, financial pressure, family obligation, and of course, shopping for the holiday.
A: Yeah. Speaking of the holidays, how does the stress just escalate during this time of the year?
B: The bottom line is women still bear the burden for the holidays. They are still, you know, whether they are working or not working, or single, or whatever the case may be, they are the one to sort of, you know, make the holiday, and they feel that was to keep up everything else that they’re doing during the year and not only make the holiday but make the perfect holiday.
A: Yes, we feel like "I’ve got to be the one who has to do it all alone."
B: Yes, exactly. They have to make it all beautiful, they have to make it all delicious, they have to meet their children’s expectation, and they have to manage all those family relationships. And think about it, these are the relationships that, usually you don’t necessarily see the people during the year all the time. And yet they all come to your home and you have to be together for a long period. And that can actually add a lot of stress.
A: So you say " investigating old stories to help manage families," what do you mean by that?
B: What I mean by that is I think women often feel the expectation because they are thinking " I wanna do it like I remembered my mother doing it," or "I wanna do it differently than my mother did it." These old stories about how perfect they’re supposed to be, they come from somewhere. And if you understand where that expectation is coming from, you’ll have a better chance of being more objective about it. You know, "Maybe I don’t have to bake 100 different varieties of cookies: maybe that’s where the load comes from. Maybe that’s something my mother chose to do but I’m gonna do it differently." And part of the investigating, a lot of women feel guilt around this time of a year too, right?
A: Oh, sure.
B: That’s the part of the thing that you have to get rid of. They tell you when you get on an airplane that in a case of an emergency when the oxygen mask comes down, put it on yourself first. You have to save yourself before you can help others. So it’s really important that you let go of the guilt, prioritize and learn when you have to say no to something that you are just not able to do.
This is the end of Part One of the interview.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on what you have just heard.
Question 1
What does Daniel Burt-Murray most probably do?
(Pause: 10 seconds)
Question 2
Why is professional help brought in on the program at the time?
(Pause: 10 seconds)
Question 3
Why does the stress for women just escalate at the end of the year?
(Pause: 10 seconds)
Question 4
What is true according to Daniel Burt-Murray?
(Pause: 10 seconds)
Question 5
What does the guest speaker mean by " investigating old stories to help manage families" ?
选项
A、Because a recent survey shows that many people are extremely stressful.
B、Because this is the time people get great pressure from different areas.
C、Because it is demanded by the program’s sponsors.
D、Because people are overloaded by the shopping season.
答案
B
解析
从访谈开头可以看出到年底时人们面对来自各个方面的压力(work deadlines,financial pressure,family obligation,and ofcourse,shopping for the holiday),而不光是采购一项,因此D不正确。C未提及。A尽管正确,但与问题不构成直接因果关系。所以本题选B。
