听力原文: City traffic is a great problem. More cars are produced every year and the streets are getting more and more crowded. So during" rush hours", when people are going to or from their work, traffic is brought to a standstill. It has been suggested that commuters should share their cars and give each other lifts. It is an excellent idea, however, so far nobody has been able to think of a way to compel people to do so.
To discourage motorists from leaving their cars in the streets all day, parking meters are used. When you park at a meter, you will pay a coin. This pays for a certain amount of time. The meter re cords this and it shows when the time that you have paid for is finished. If the car is still there then, you have to pay a fine.
Traffic wardens look after the meters. They walk around the streets and check that every meter shows that money has been paid for the car parked there. If a meter registers" time expired", the motorist who has left his car there is fined. Of course, the traffic :warden cannot wait for the owner of car to return. He carries a block of printed forms, and on one of these he writes down all the details, such as the registration number of the car, where it is parked, how much the driver must pay and where he must send the money. He leaves this form. on the car where the driver will be able to see it easily; he usually pushes it under one of the windscreen wipers so that it will not blow away. And in case it rains before the motorist returns, the form. is put in a little plastic envelope to protect it. When the driver comes back, he gets an unpleasant surprise, but it is his own fault for leaving his car too long at a parking meter.

听力原文: Good morning. First I'd like to welcome all of you new students to this workshop on student housing. I'll go through the information about types of housing available for the fall and later hand out application blanks Then, if you have any questions ,feel free to ask me.
There are three main types of housing here for you to choose from the student dorms, the married student apartments, and the international house. As of now, there is some space available in each type, but they are filling up fast. You should get your application in as soon as possible. Let me ex plain some of the main features of each type of housing.
The student dorms are for any student. We have men's dorms, women's dorms, and coed dorms. In the coed dorms there is one large bathroom and shower area for both sexes to use. Most of the rooms have two beds, two closets, and two desks. We also have a few triples, and a few single suits, but I think the suites are already taken. There are no cooking facilities in the dorms, but you can buy a meal ticket for the cafeteria.
The married student apartments are for married students only. Each apartment has a kitchen, a living-dining area, and either one or two bedrooms. Children are allowed in apartment.
The international houses are a group of apartments for both foreign students and resident students. They are organized into language and culture themes, and some of them have rules about speaking only a certain language during meal times. It's been a good way for students to learn about other cultures and languages. I think that the Spanish House is full, but there are rooms available in all the other houses.
That's the main information. I'll pass out these applications now and answer your individual questions.

Catching out the Dishonest Candidate
Most personnel managers agree that job interviews are one of the least objective recruitment methods. But the advantages of testing are not going to change the attraction of the interview to employers. The appeal of the interview has everything to do with the (19) factor. Most people believe they are a (20) judge of character and trust their instinctive feelings. We might use some kind of test to aid the (21) process, but we usually pick a candidate who interviews will, has good (22) and an impressive work record.
But (23) the candidate lies or is less than completely honest 'This can be a serious problem for employers', (24) Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruitment. 'The most difficult liars to find out those who (25) half-truths rather than complete lies.' Research (26) that up to 75 per cent of curriculum vitaes are deliberately inaccurate. The most common practice is (27)
Interviewers should therefore concentrate on areas of (28) such as gaps between periods of employment and job (29) that seem strange. 'Focusing on these areas will force candidates to tell the truth or become increasingly (30) This is usually when people signal their (31) by their body language. Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervous hand movements all (32) discomfort.'
Conrad does not suggest an aggressive police-style. interview technique, but insists that (33) inspection of a curriculum vitae is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right questions can you confirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who are being less than completely honest.
