Dr Erskine: Yes and(21)you did entertain the class, they enjoyed your humour, but you informed them too. But I felt there was a bit of a back story - you know, something you werent t

25、elling us? So how was it really? Cressida: Yeah, well, I learnt a lot, as I said. But I think some of the lessons werent ones I wanted to share with the whole group. I mean,(22)my expectations about what it would be like were too high. Id been fantasising a bit about what Id be doing. I mean, it all

26、 worked out OK in the end . but I got off to a bad start. Dr Erskine: Yes, I heard something similar from(23)the producer -urn. Ainsley Webb - who assessed your performance.

27、ersion? Cressida: I didnt prepare properly is the main thing. On my first morning, I hadnt checked my commuting route properly, and I didnt notice that it says the buses dont start till six.

30、kine: OK. But Im afraid he says this will have to be the last time you submit late. Journalism is all about deadlines and if you cant manage them on your course he cant give you a diploma saying youre competent, can he? Cressida: Oh. Yes. Ill do it straight after this. I didnt realise. Dr Erskine: W

31、ell, he can be a bit abrupt if hes kept waiting. Its the one thing he really doesnt like. Im sure everything is going to be fine. Youre getting very good grades on your work, so, as long as you remember that. Cressida: Yes. Dr Erskine: Now, did you manage OK generally, do you think? Cressida: Yeah,

32、OK, I think. Well, it took a while to get to grips with all the equipment. Some of it was quite old, not as fast as what we have here in college and at first I kept thinking it was my fault I wasnt pressing the right buttons, or something. The thing was, none of(26)the TV centre staff asked me if I

33、wanted instructions. If I asked them how to do some particular operation, they were perfectly civil and would show me, and even say thank you for what I did do. but I felt awkward to keep asking.

34、e recording for 30 seconds. Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30. Dr Erskine: Now, urn, well, lets just review where you are, your write-up, and what youre going to include going forward to next term. First of all, did you eventually feel you were given enough to do? Cressida: The first couple o

35、f days were manic, the production team was short of staff and(27)I was rushing all over the building taking messages to various people and fetching things. Of course, I didnt know my way around, so I kept ending up in some store room or somewhere instead of the studio I was meant to be in. Or I mist

36、ook some important visitor for a colleague, because I didnt know who anyone was. Then after that, things sort-of calmed down, so sometimes I was hanging about until someone decided to give me a chore.(28)But I had a piece of luck at the end of the week because they got a new bit of equipment which w

37、as the same as we have in the editing suite here and I knew how to use it. which none of them did. So that gave me a bit of status. Unfortunately it meant I spent the next three days stuck in the editing suite. But by the end, Id shown I wasnt just a silly student, so then, when the senior reporter

38、needed someone to go out with him when he went to interview a junior minister, I got to go along because he knew I could handle the technical side. Dr Erskine: Well, thats good. Cressida: Yes. Well, I know(29)I need to learn from my mistakes. I mean, basically I need to think more about forward plan

39、ning, but on the other hand I feel much more confident now; I did survive, I didnt ruin anything, I did actually make a contribution, according to the producer.(30)One thing I want to take forward to my final assignment, though, is some reflections on ethics. Dr Erskine: Yes? Cressida: I had a bit o

40、f an argument with one of the senior presenters. He was editing part of an interview and he just changed something someone said. When I questioned him he just snubbed me. And I mean, this wasnt some public relations expert or government professional spokesperson, it was, like, a member of the public

41、, but he said Oh they never remember what they said anyway. Dr Erskine: Mm . you want to develop this into part of your final assignment? It would be a very positive line. I can give you some references. Cressida: Oh, thanks, that would be great. 21 【正确答案】 A 22 【正确答案】 H 23 【正确答案】 B 24 【正确答案】 G 25 【正
