[听力原文]23-30 Woman: John - I’ve just heard the company is moving out of these offices. I can’t believe it! Man: It’s true. They made the .final decision yesterday. Woman: Who did Man: Um well... Woman: There wasn’t a board meeting yesterday, was there Man: I don’t think so. A vote was actually taken by all the heads of departments. Woman: Ah so it wasn’t just Finance saying what should happen. It usually is... And where are we going I like it here. I don’t want to move my whole family to a new city none of us knows. Man: You won’t have to. We’re not moving far away. We’re only going to Kenton... Woman: Kenton Man: You know, that new development. You must have noticed all the new building work going on, off the main road just as you come into the city. Woman: Oh yes I’ve read about it. Is everyone who works here going, do you know, John Man: Almost everyone, you know, Finance, Sales, Public Relations... Woman: Aha, so I will be going. Man: Yes, though Customer Services are staying in the city centre for another year... Woman: ... so the public know where we are... Man: Exactly. Fiona, it’s going to be great. It’s going to be much better there. Woman: In what way There’ll be a better place for us to have lunch, I hope. The food here is getting worse every day. Man: I don’t know about that. But from what I’ve seen, there’s going to be a lot more space than we’ve got at the moment and more rooms where we can have meetings. Woman: Nice. And some sports facilities would be a good idea wouldn’t they Man: They would but not at the moment, I’m afraid. Woman: Oh well. Won’t this move cost a lot of money Man: Why should it I think the idea is to save money. Woman: Are the offices in a new building or an old one Man: Oh, it’s completely new, but it won’t cost nearly as much as the rent on these city centre offices. Woman: Oh. Are we getting new office furniture, then, to go in this new building Man: We are, someone’s designing it specially but even that isn’t really expensive. What is expensive is investing in new computers. Everything is going to be totally up to date. Woman: Ooh, now that sounds exciting. Man: It does, doesn’t it Actually, there’s only one thing that worries me about the move. Woman: What’s that Being the only business out at Kenton Man: Other firms’ll soon join us when they see how cheap it is in Kenton. Actually, it’s those of us without cars that might have a problem. I don’t think there is much of a bus service. It’s something the company will have to look at. Woman: And what about shops A lot of staff like going to the shops in the lunch hour. Man: Well there are definitely some in Kenton. Woman: Good! Man: Actually, Fiona, there is one other rather interesting thing about this move. A lot of people are going over to new working contracts. Woman: What! And what does that mean exactly Does it mean we all lose our permanent contracts Man: It doesn’t, actually. In this case it means people can set up a sort of office in their home if their work is suitable. Woman: Uh huh. So it doesn’t mean we have to work longer hours, or something Man: I don’t think so. Woman: John, you seem to know a lot about it. Are you in charge of arranging everything Man: I’m very happy to tell you it’s someone else’s job. All I’ve got to do is inform people about the move... Woman: Mmm - you’re doing very well. Man: ... except questions about contracts, hours and so on, of course. Woman: Well, the Personnel Department does that, don’t they Man: Exactly. And now I must get on... document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
