听力原文：M: So, you're an architect.

W: Yes.

M: Do you work for a public or a private organization, or you're self-employed, that is working on you own？

W: I'm working for a private designing construction company.

M: How did you start your career？

W: I started it with the government.

M: Oh, did you？ What made you decide to work for the government？

W: Well, it was a matter of chances, really. I saw an advertisement for a vacant position in the newspaper and I thought "why don't you try it". In fact, I have no preferences where I work, public or private.

M: And do you still have this idea, or...

W: More or less, yes. Although I'm now working with a private firm, I worked for the government for about three years. It was all right. Of course, there is the bureaucracy that one has to put up with but that's no that had. If you don't mind bureaucratic wheels turning slowly and things not being as efficient.

M: Mm, ha, and what made you leave the public sector？

W:Money mainly. You see, I got married, and my husband doesn't work, and we wanted to start a family right away. So we thought it might be better if I moved to the private sector. This is why it's hard for me to be self-employed, because self-employed work has a disadvantage that there may be time or a period of time when you are unemployed.

scolded, and I want to explain that I'm not wrong," says Viola, a nurse. This is a common reaction to criticism, but not a good one. There are better ways of dealing with criticism.

1. Try to be objective. When Sol was criticized by his new employer for not having made a sale, Sol’s reaction was to feel sorry for himself. "I had put everything I had into making that sale," Sol says," and I felt that I had failed as a person. I had to learn through experience not to react like that to each failure."

2. Take time to cool down. Rather than reacting immediately to criticism, take some time to think over what was said. Your first question should be whether the criticism is fair from the other person's position. The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it.

3. Take positive action. After you cool down, consider what you can do about the situation. The best answer may be "nothing". "I finally realized that my boss was having personal problems and taking them out on me because I was there," says Sheila. "His criticisms didn't really have anything to do with my work, so nothing I said or did was going to change them." In Sheila's ease, the best way to deal with it was to leave her job. 'However, that's an extreme reaction. You may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in-depth discussion. You may even decide that the baffle isn't worth fighting this time. The key, in any case, is to have a reasonable plan.

W: You see, she left a note for me. Just read it.

M: Well, did you leave the front door open？
