听力原文: The Austrian composer, Schubert, was born in Vienna. His father, a schoolmaster, was his first music teacher. When he was 11, he was fortunate in being chosen to one of the Vienna Boy's singing group. There he received a free general education as well as music teaching. He began to compose in these years, mostly instrumental or orchestral compositions, but also a few songs. He spent more time in covering sheets of paper with these compositions than at 'his other studies.
After he left the singing group, Schubert became a schoolmaster to avoid being sent into the army, and he taught at his father's school for 3 years. When only 17, he wrote his first great song, and during the next 2 years he wrote many of his finest songs. After his 3 years' teaching, he lived with various friends, all as penniless as himself, composing all the time, sometimes writing eight songs in a day, and even sleeping in his spectacles in case he might have an idea for a song during the night. Although he hated teaching, he earned some money by giving piano lessons.
Schubert never became widely famous outside Vienna during his life. It was late in his short life, and only after much persuasion, that publishers began to print and sell some of his compositions; and Schubert received very little money for these. He had been able to be happy and free to compose, though extremely poor. But a cloud of sadness hung over in his late years. In 1827 he wrote his song-cycle for voice and piano. "The Winter Journey" and its sadness reveals his own state of mind. In the autumn of 1828 he fell iii for the second time in his life and died. Almost all his last words were of Beethoven, whom he loved and admired above all other composers. He was buried beside him.
Although Schubert died when only 32, he wrote a great amount of music. He had little academic training but a very sure musical instinct. Much of his finest work he never heard performed.

听力原文: The smart job-seeker should rid herself of several standard myths about interviewing before she really starts job-hunting. The following talk lists some of these untruths and offers some tips to help you succeed at your next interview.
The first myth is that the aim of interviewing is to obtain the job you want. This is only half correct. The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you like; and it also implies turning down the job offer you don't want. The reason for some job-seekers' failure is that they become so used to meeting employers' expectations that they often take up the job they don't really want.
The second one, always please the interviewer, is also not true. Instead of pleasing the interviewer, you should please yourself. You'll get nowhere if you try to give answers that will suit a potential employer without considering your own feelings. Of course, don't be hostile — nobody wants to hire someone disagreeable. Take a middle ground between being too agreeable and being hostile. An effective interview is like an exciting encounter in conversation with your seatmate on an airplane.
The next myth is to try to control the interview. Nobody "controls" an interview, neither you nor the interviewer. Actually, it is an exchange of two parties — like making a telephone call. So hang loose when interviewing: never dominate an interview.
The fourth myth is never to interrupt the interviewer. An exciting conversation always makes us feel free — free to interrupt and show different opinions. So when interviewing, try to be relaxed and natural.
The last myth, don't disagree with the interviewer, is another silly myth. If you don't disagree at times, you consent in fact. Don't hesitate to disagree with your interviewer in an agreeable way. And also feel free to change your mind.

听力原文: We work in a large open-plan setting which can be tricky at times with the sort of work we do. There are small meeting rooms where we can go to discuss things confidentially or where members of staff can talk to us in private. Of course, with the sort of information we keep, individual staff records and interview reports and so on, we have to be discreet at all times.
