23、llege and had just gotten my first teaching job. You know, I was still very young. Anyway, I got on the wrong bus and by the time I got to school I was late. So, I finally got to my classroom and when I went inside there was this older teacher in the room and he was trying to make the students sit d

24、own and be quiet. I mean this school was in a pretty tough neighborhood. Anyway, as I came through the door he turned to me and said, “You, sit down over there.“ So I sat down, and when he finished shouting at the kids he turned to me and said, “And who are you?“ “Well,“ I said, “Im the new teacher.

25、“ Speaker 2: I hadnt been working there very long. Anyway, one day during my morning break, I went to the coffee shop on the ground floor of our building. I was in a hurry because we were supposed to meet the new boss right after the break. Anyway, I was standing there waiting in line and this guy c

26、ame in and kind of cut in line right in front of me. And I said something like, “Back off, Buddy, I was here first.“ And he said, “Oh, Im sorry. I didnt see you. Im kind of in a hurry. Im supposed to meet my new staff in a couple of minutes.“ Speaker 3: Well, on my first day they asked me to type up

27、 some handwritten notes for the boss, and I hadnt actually met him yet, and his handwriting was horrible. His secretary said she wanted the notes for a meeting at ten oclock and I just didnt have much time. I was, I was really worried that Id made a few mistakes. But anyway, I typed the notes in tim

28、e and I handed them in and then a few minutes later the secretary said the boss wanted to see me. So I followed her to his office and I was told to sit and wait. I waited and waited for what seemed like ages. And of course the whole time I just was wondering what Id done wrong. Speaker 4: Id just go

29、tten through my first day of work. And, you know, I was tired and looking forward to getting home and putting up my feet and just watching TV.

30、hen everything was finished and ready for me the next day, I packed my bag and went to the door, it was very quiet, so I figured most people had already left. When I got to the front door.

31、hey forgot about me, so I was locked in the office all night. Speaker 5: I was running late for my first day at work. I couldnt find my front door keys and couldnt leave home without them.

You will hear a passage about “Credit

34、 Cards History “. You will listen to it twice. Decide whether you think each statement is right(R), wrong(W)or not mentioned(NM). Mark your answers on the Answer Sheet. Credit Card History The concept of credit cards began just before World War I, in 1914, when Western Union provided a deferred-paym

35、ent service to its most sound customers. It wasnt until 1950 that Diners Club issued the first real “card“. This card could be used in a number of different locations. Quickly the idea caught on and within about a year, banks began providing cards to their customers, and merchants began accepting th

36、em for payment. These early cards required payment in full within a short period of time, usually less than 90 days. The income possibilities soon became apparent to the bankers. The financial institutions could simply extend the repayment time, attach an interest rate and overnight, a new profit ce

37、nter for New Yorks Franklin National, in 1951, had introduced the first modern credit card to its customers. Before 1970, the concept was being quickly accepted. Consumers and the issuing banks were feeling that one bank, one card was not enough. Banks of America solved this by entering into licensi

38、ng agreements with banks outside California allowing them to issue BankAmericard and interchange transactions among the licensees. In order to increase usage, a bank card association was started which would change the name to one which was not linked with any one bank. In 1977, the Visa name was ado

39、pted, a membership corporation was formed, and Visa USA was started. At the same time, three different groups of banks that were not franchisees of Bank of America began activities that would later merge to become todays MasterCard International.

You will hear a passage about “Migration in the 19th Century “. You will listen to

41、it twice. For Questions 2430, indicate which of the alternatives A, B, or C is the most appropriate response. Mark one letter A, B, or C on the Answer Sheet. Migration in the 19th Century Between 1815 and 1914, the world witnessed the greatest peaceful migration in its history: 35 million people, mo

42、stly Europeans, left their homeland to start new lives in America. Why did these people risk everything by leaving their homes and families to see what the New World had to offer? There are both push and pull factors which we should consider. First, what forced emigrants to make the decision to leav

43、e? One major cause of the exodus among European peasants was the rise in population which in turn led to land hunger. Another was politics. Nationalism saw increased taxation and the growth of armies, and many young men fled Europe to avoid being conscripted. Also, the failure of the liberal revolut

44、ions in Europe caused the departure of hundreds of thousands of refugees. Physical hunger provided another pressing reason. Between 1845 and 1848, the terrible potato famine in Ireland ended in the deaths of one million Irish people and the emigration of a further million who wished to escape starva

45、tion. Religion also encouraged millions to leave the Old World. In short, people chose to leave their homes for social, economic and religious reasons. As a result, by 1890 among a total population of 63 million, there were more than nine million foreign-born Americans. But what were the attractions

46、? First of all, there was the promise of land, which was so scarce in Europe. Next, factories were calling out for labor, and pay and conditions were much better than back home. Men were needed to open up the West and build the long railroads, and settlers were needed to populate new towns and devel

47、op commerce. There was the space for religious communities to practice their faith in peace and comparative isolation. As we know, there were losers. To start with, there were those unwilling immigrants, the slaves who had been used as a source of cheap labor for the tobacco plantations of the South

48、. Nor should we forget the equally awful fate of the American Indians. By 1860 there were 27 million free whites, four million slaves and a mere 488, 000 free blacks. This is the end of Part 4.
