问题
W: Great. Good to see you.
M: My first question is what kind of training did you need to qualify for the position?
W: In most places, you need to have a Master of Library Information Science in order to be a librarian
M: Would you please describe a typical day at work?
W: In a public library, that can vary widely from day to day. Most days, I spend a lot of time helping people use the public-access computers, and I help patrons locate the books they need. I help students find resources for papers, I help people find new fiction to read, I make displays, teach computer classes, buy the young adult books, do programming, post to the blogs, and I answer strange questions. And there are some days where all I do is refill the paper in the printer, explain that no, I will not unblock that porn site, and hand over the latest Consumer Reports.
M: What are the biggest misconceptions about librarians?
W: That we’re stodgy, boring, formal. New librarians are just as likely to have tattoos. Many people don’t know that being a librarian requires a graduate degree, and most people don’t know that today’s librarians are very tech-savvy.
M: Did you always want to be a librarian?
W: No. In my generation, there were not a lot of choices for women. It opened up to me to work in a library while I was getting my teaching credential. I really liked it much better than the teaching, because you have a wider grade range, but it’s not a glamour profession. You have to really love it, to do it.
M: What would you be doing if you weren’t doing this?
W: I’d own a bakery or cafe: I love to bake, and almost went to culinary school.
M: How much have libraries changed over the years? When did you enjoy it more, now or back then?
W: The work of a librarian today is more technocratic because of the greater availability of information and also because computers takes a bigger part of the librarian’s work. Personally, I enjoyed more the kind of work we did back then in the old days.

4. What is Jessica’s view on being a librarian?
5. In Jessica’s view, how much have libraries changed over the years?
选项
A、Because there were a lot of choices for women.
B、Because she happened to be offered the chance.
C、Because being a librarian is a glamour profession.
D、Because she had lost her teaching credential.
答案
B
解析
Jessica说她的志向不是当图书管理员,而是在她等待领取教师资格证的时候,图书管理员工作的大门恰好向她敞开了。可见她成为图书管理员只是刚好碰到合适的机会罢了。因此,B为正确答案。当听到说话人作否定回答时,应注意其后紧接着的补充说明。此处Jessica在回答了No之后解释了她成为图书管理员的巧合。
