听力原文:M: So, Marie, you work with computers?
W: That's right. I'm a computer programmer.
M: John told me you're working in a movie studio. Is that true?
W: That's right. I work for Walt Disney. Ever heard of them?
M: Sure I have! They make the cartoons, right? So, what's it like?
W: Great, but today was exceptionally busy. I've never experienced a day worse than today.
M: If you have a good boss, however, it can't be that bad.
W: Oh, don't even get me started about my boss!
M: Why not? Don't you get along with him?
W: No one gets along with him! Even his wife left him because she couldn't take it anymore, It's not just that, my job involves a lot of time at the computer, many hours, it can be very tiring.
M: Why not quit?
W: Never! I may work long hours and have lots of pressure, but the pay's great and I love what I do. It was my childhood dream to work on cartoons.
M: I'm confused. Why do you continue with a job that gives you so much pressure?
W: I like the money and the title, and the idea of working on cartoons. If I keep working like this I'm going to be dead before I'm 40!
M: I think you should have a chat with your boss, tell him how you feel.
W: Maybe you are right. I think I'll do that. This has got to be one of the worst days of my life!
