5.听力原文：Man: I didn't want to go to university, so when I finished school, I went and got a job. My parents said if I was in full-time education, they'd give me an allowance, but if not, I'd have to work. So, I got a job in a big store in the menswear department ... Actually, I think I had to go out and find out what I could do because in school I wasn't particularly brilliant, so, when it came to doing work, I think I had to prove a lot of people wrong. So I really felt like doing it ... even though it was just selling socks in Hayrides. 选项：A、You overhear a young man talking about his first job. How did he feel in his first job？ A．Bored.B．Confused.C．Enthusiastic.

6.My brother, Henry, has an excellent job at a bank. I couldn't believe him when he told me that he had decided to give it up. Though I tried to make him change his mind, I failed completely. "You should reconsider your decision," I said. "You have already spent five years in the bank and you could have a wonderful career. You might become a bank manager by the time you're thirty-five. " "I know," Henry answered. "I've got no complaints with the bank. It's a pleasant job in pleasant surroundings. The bank manager told me that my prospects( ) were excellent. "Then why do you want to leave?" I answered. "It's the money," Henry said. "But you're getting a good salary," I answered. "I don't mean that," Henry said. "What do I do at the bank? Well, at the moment all I do is to count money. I find it very depressing( ). " "What's depressing about counting money?" I asked, unable to follow the logic( ) of Henry's argument. "You don't understand," Henry answered. "I enjoy counting my own money, but I hate counting other people's!" Henry found his job depressing because he didn't like counting other people's money. 选项： A:T B:F
