W:What do you think about the weekend comedy show on Channel 3?

M:It’s a waste of time.The plot is boring.

W:I like the leading actor.He is great at expressing complex emotions.Maybe that’s why he’s starred in many box-office hits and won the Oscar for Best Actor last year.

M:He has an attractive face.That’s all.But beauty is only skin-deep,you know.

W:Come on! It’s impossible for someone to win the Oscar for Best Actor because of good looks alone.It takes hard work and a lot of professional support from the other members of the cast and crew.

M:Have you had any contact with China in your present job?

W:Yes,quite a lot.In fact,the market for all types of luxury holidays for Chinese tourists has increased a lot recently.

M:Really? I’d like to hear more about that.Tell me,though,how did you travel when you were in China?

W:So Marvin,what do you want to be when you grow up?

M:I don’t know.

W:Come on,Marvin.Everyone else in the class told us about their dreams.We all want to hear about yours.

M:OK.I want to be a …a…oh,I don’t want to say it.

W:Go on.It’s OK,really.

M:OK.I want to be a nurse.

W:Oh…well,that’s a wonderful job.Now class,being a nurse isn’t just for women,you know.There are a lot of male nurses in some of the best hospitals in the country.

M:Right,that’s what my uncle told me.He wanted to be a doctor,but he realized that he cared more about getting to know his patients and helping them on a daily basis instead of arguing with insurance companies and trying to earn the most money.So,he became a nurse,instead.

W:When did you decide that you wanted to be a nurse,Marvin?

M:I think it was when I visited my uncle at work in St.Mary’s Hospital.He got permission from the hospital to show me around,and I even got to meet some of his patients! It was really cool to see him working there.I want to be just like him.

听第10段材料,回答第17至20题。

Text 10

W:When Kara Rowells began studying at university,her parents gave her little money.At college she worked between 10 and 45 hours each week at her jobs.Always being busy would often cause her to feel stress and miss sleep.And she was not able to enjoy many of the social experiences involved in American higher education.Rowells was not alone.

Most students at colleges and universities in the United States work while they study.One reason is that the cost of college in the US has greatly increased.However,even students whose families can afford to support them are working while they study.That is because employers are expecting more and more out of college graduates,including work experience.

Research shows working up to 15 hours a week can be helpful for college students.It can improve their time management skills.But when students work more than that,their performance on both work and class assignments will suffer.Sadly,too many students work longer than that.
