原文：
W：Oh! I’m fed up with my job!(第一次作对第23题的机会，be fed up with sth/sb意思为厌倦某事或某人)
M：Hey!There’s a perfect job for you in the paper today. You might be interested.
W：Oh?What is it?What do they want?
M：Wait a minute…Ah，here it is. The European Space Agency. It’s recruiting translators.(第24题。视听基本一致)
W：The European Space Agency?
M：Well，That is what it says. They need an English translator(第24题。视听基本一致) to work from French or German.
W：So they need a degree in French or German，I suppose. Well，I’ve got that. What’s more? I’ve plenty of experience. What else are they asking for?
M：Just that.. A university degree，and 3 or 4 years experience as a translator in a professional environment.
They also say，the person should have a lively and inquiring mind，effective communication skills，and the ability to work individually，or as a part of the team.(第25题AB项同时被读到，于是就都错了)
W：Well，if I stay on my present job much longer，I won’t have any mind or skills left.(作对第23题的第二次机会) By the way，what about the salary?I just hope it isn’t lower than what I get now.
M：It’s said to be negotiable. It depends on the applicant’s education and experience.(最后被读到，第25题准确答案。视听基本一致) In addition to basic salary，there’s a list extra benefits. Have a look yourself.
W：Em…travel and social security plus relocation expenses are paid. Hey，this isn’t bad，I really want the job.
