W: Now I’ve got your background, let’s talk about the management trainee scheme. What exactly do you think a manager does?
M: I don’t know a great deal about the work.
W: But have you got any ideas about it? You must have thought about it.
M: (12)Well, er, I suppose he has a lot of, er, what is called, policy-making to do. And, mm, he’d have to know how to work with people and all about the company.
W: Mmm.
M: Yes, I, er, should think a manager must know, er, something about all aspects of the work.
W: 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.
M: Well, if I had to do it, I suppose.(13)But I was thinking that my French and German would mean that I could specialize in overseas work.(14)I’d like to be some sort of an export salesman and travel abroad.
W: You know the charm of traveling abroad disappears when you’ve got to work hard. It’s not all fun and game.
M: Oh, yes, I realize that.(13)It’s just that my knowledge of languages would be useful.
W: Now, Mr. Smith, is there anything you want to ask me?
M: Well, there’s one or two things. I’d like to know if I’d have to sign a contract, what the salary is and what the prospects are.
W: With our scheme, Mr. Smith, there is no contract involved. Your progress is kept under constant review. If we, at any time, decide we don’t like you, then that’s that! We reserve the right to dismiss you. Of course, you have the same choice about us.(15)As for salary, you’d be on our fixed scale starting at 870 pounds. For the successful trainee, the prospects are very good.
12. How does Mr. Smith sound when asked what a manager’s role is?
13. What does the man think is his advantage of working overseas?
14. What does Mr. Smith say he would like to be?
15. What is true about the management trainee scheme?

选项 A、His traveling experiences.
B、His knowledge of languages.
C、His policy-making ability.
D、His hard-working.

答案 B

解析 男士说他会法语和德语,这意味着他擅长在海外工作,接着他说了自己的求职意向。女士说当努力工作时,去海外出差的魅力会消失,并非总是很有趣。男士回应说他认识到这点,他只是觉得自己掌握的语言知识会有帮助,可见他认为自己擅长在海外工作的优势是自己懂几门语言,故选B。
