M: Yes. They made him retire after fifty years at sea. He is pretty upset about it, but what can you do? He really is past it. W: He is all alone, isn't he?
M: Yes, his wife has been dead for years. They had one daughter. Dories. But she went off to town as soon as she left school. And he hasn't heard from her since. I hear she is making good money as a model.
W: Maybe someone could get in touch with her. Get her to come back for a while to help?
M: I don't suppose she'll come. She never got on with her father. He is a bit of a tough character and she is rather selfish. Oh, I expect old Jake will get by. He is healthy at least, comes into a clinic for a check regularly.
W: Are you his doctor?
M: No, my partner doctor Johnson is.
W: That bad-tempered old thing?
M: Oh, he isn't really bad-tempered. He just looks it. He is an excellent doctor, taught me a lot, and he has a very nice family. His wife invites me over there to supper every week. Very pleasant.

听力原文:M: What do you think of Professor Potter's course, Jane?
W: Not much.
M: Why, what's wrong with it?
W: Oh, I don't know. It's just that he overloads it with details. The course he gave on town planning last year, it was just the same—a load of details, which you could have got from a book anyway. There was no overall ...
M: No general overview you mean?
W: Yes. I suppose you could call it that. I couldn't see the town for the buildings.
M: But you've got to have the details in this kind of subject. Anyway I think he's good. You take his first lecture for instance. I thought that was very interesting, and not at all over-detailed.
W: Well, he starts off all right, but then he just piles on the details.
M: Now you're exaggerating.
W: Well, the way he dealt with the Western developments, that wasn't bad, I suppose.
M: You seem to have got something. Perhaps Potter is a little disorganized, but I think he's good.
W: Do you really think so?
M: He does do most of his teaching to the postgraduates. He only does the one undergraduate course each year. After all, I think he tends to forget where he is. He starts off being nice and general and then tries to cram in a bit too much specialized information.
W: The main thing I object to is the lack of direction.
What does Jane think of Potter's course?
A.Very good.
B.Too general.
C.Clear and interesting.
D.Meticulous and too specialized.

M: It means I'm out of a job.
W: That's bad news. This has happened to you before, hasn't it?
M: Yes. This will be the third time in five years and I'm ready to stop.
W: What do you mean? You're going to quit working?
M: No, I'll still be working, but not for a company. I'm going to be my own boss.
W: Doesn't that make you a little nervous? You won't have all the benefits that go with working for a company—no retirement, no health insurance.
M: That is the bad part of it, but I am really tired of being dependent on the whims of big business. It seems that it hasn't been all that secure for me.
W: What will you do?
M: I've had a couple of friends who have gone out on their own. They say it is the best thing that ever happened to them.
W: I know it is the secret dream of a lot of people to be their own boss, especially the younger generation.
M: One of my friends just takes temporary jobs. Companies are looking for people with his skills, but only on a temporary basis. So he goes from one company to another, depending on where they need him. He's able to set his own working hours and he makes a lot more than he was when he was working full time. He really likes the freedom he enjoys.
W: What does he do when he doesn't have any jobs coming in?
M: He goes to a temporary employment agency. It seems he always finds work and at double what he used to make.
W: I hope you find just the right thing for your skills. It would be nice to have a job that gave you more freedom.
M: That's why I'm making the change. I want to be able to spend the extra time with my family and it will be great to be working out of my home instead of going to the office every day.
W: Good luck! With your attitude and ability, I'm sure you'll do well.
