W: Thank you very much for your trust, Peter. As your academic advisor I will try my best to help you. M: Thanks. It's about my major... W: Well, what's the matter？ M: I used to major in English, but now I have made up my mind to switch to Applied Linguistics, concentrating on Teaching English as a Foreign Language. W: So you want to switch majors？ M: Yes. But I wonder if it is possible. W: Well, usually we allow it, as long as you have enough credits. M: That's good news for me. I'm not interested in literature and that sort of thing. I want to be a real teacher, Professor. But I'm worried about the make-up credits. W: You usually do have to make up some credits when you switch majors. Are you OK on credits？ M: Not too many. I'll have to add about 12 credits as far as I can. figure from my transcript. Would you please let me know how many credits are required to get a master's degree？ W: Usually thirty-six credits are needed, ff you take five courses per term, you'll have enough credits after just two semesters. Usually each course is worth three credits. To get the six remaining credits you either prepare a thesis or take two more courses. M: Is there anything else besides the 36 credits for the master's？ W: You have to have an oral defense． M: I see．I really appreciate your help，Professor． W: Glad I can help．Good luck．Peter． (23) A．A literature professor.

W: I know, but the geology of the American West is my favorite interest and I've done a lot of reading in the field.

W: That's a good idea since I like dogs very much. But how can I find dogs to walk？ M: You can put an advertisement in the Sunday newspaper.

M: What is it？ W: I've been trying to find a way to encourage reading. M: Tell me about it. I work with families everyday, Eva. I see how people spend their leisure time --young and old. W: Mostly watching TV. Well, that would be OK, if people took the time to read. M: I couldn't agree with you more. W: The question is, how do we get them to read more？ M: I think you are going to give me the answer to that question. You have that look in your eye. W: I do have the answer, or at least I think I do. The plan is a simple one. Involve the entire family in a reading project. But first in the schoolrooms. By arranging with the public schools to schedule one hour a week--to start with. During that time, parents are invited to attended to read along with the children. M: It can go beyond the school system. W: Really？ M: I guarantee you it would go very well in the hospitals. My patients--mostly kids--would love to read or to be read to. W: I love the idea.

Why don't you narrow it down to something like...,uh... the history of the studios during that time？ M: You know. I was thinking about doing that, but more than 30 books came up when I typed in "movie studios". W: You could cut that down even further by listing the specific years you want. Try adding "1930s" or "1940s" or maybe "Golden Age". M: "Golden Age" is a good idea. Let me type that in... Hey, look, just 6 books this time. That's a lot better.

M: I do have a lot of papers and magazines down on the basement. Volunteers used to come by these apartments regularly to collect waste paper. I still save it but people seldom ask for it nowadays and I' ve never gone over to the recycling center myself. W: That’s typical. A few years ago people were really enthusiastic about musing waste paper. Unfortunately, interest has been decreasing lately. Manufacturers now use waste paper for things, like paper bags, towels, napkins and boxes. But the demand is down. I think they need to find new commercial uses for recycled paper. M: I suppose things like greeting cards, calendars and writing paper could be made from it too. But recycled paper usually has a dingy color, doesn't it？ W: Well, it wouldn’t be suitable for art books or high-quality magazine paper. But who cares about the drab color if waste paper can take place of virgin wood pulp and so help to preserve forests. M: You are right.

M: Thank you, Miss Carlyle, I'm in bad need of such suggestions because, to be frank, my company, although small, is rapidly expanding. And please, call me Len. So, what are your recommendations for my new organizational structure？ W: Call me Mary. First, let's start with your operation here. You should set up separate Administrative, Clerical, Back office, and Support functions. There's too much work for your personnel to wear more than one hat any more. M: Yes, they're already overworked. But that will entail more Managerial functions, won't it？ W: That's right, Lea, and you'll need at least two new managers for separate Marketing and Product Development departments. M: OK, Mary. What else？ W: I think you'll need an Executive assistant to help you deal with corporate affairs. That should do it for your headquarters here, but since your business is no longer just local, I also suggest setting up a regional office in the south. M: What about personnel there？ W: You'll need the same basic functionality as here, on a reduced scale. Product Development is only needed at headquarters for now. Your regional head can manage all functions there initially, but will probably need an assistant, also. And that's it! M: Thanks for your advice, Mary. You do help a lot. Looks like I'll need that assistant right away to help me set all this up! (23) A．A personnel manager. B．A business consultant. C．A secretary. D．An assistant.

M: Thanks. As you know, he had been sick for some time before he passed away, so we were somewhat prepared. W: So, how's your grandmother taking it？ M: Oh, it's been really hard on her. I don't think you get over something like that. W: Yeah, I'm sure. My heart really goes out to her. Uh, so how's your grandmother going to be able to manage things alone？ M: Well, financially, grandmother will be able to live a secure life from now on. I mean, grandfather had life insurance and substantial investments in property and stocks, so returns on those should take care of her. But our main concern at this moment is her emotional state. She's really down, so a call now and again should brighten her day. W: So, what are the funeral arrangements？ M: Well, some of the family members will get together on Tuesday morning for a private memorial service, but there will be a viewing in the afternoon from 2:00 to 3:00, followed by the funeral service. W: I wish there was something I could do for you. M: Well, actually, there is. You know, grandfather really admired you a lot, and before he died, he asked if you'd sing a musical number at the funeral. W: Really？ I'd be honored. M: It would really mean a lot to the family. W: Sure. Then, see you on Tuesday. M: Okay, see you then. (20) A．He fell ill and passed away unexpectedly. B．He died in a traffic accident.
