You will hear a discussion between a man called Malcolm and a woman called Wendy, who have just been interviewing candidates for a job.
For each question(23-30), mark one letter(A, B or C)for the correct answer.
You will hear the recording twice.
You now have 45 seconds to read through the questions.
[pause]
Now listen, and mark A, B or C.
[pause]
Woman: Well, Malcolm, that’s that! The last, I think.
Man: Yes, yes. Right, Wendy, quite a difficult choice, don’t you think so?
Woman: Yes, indeed, particularly the first three and the last one.
Man: And the woman?
Woman: Yes, Ms. ... ?
Man: Jane Stephens.
Woman: Ms. Stephens. I thought she was very good.
Man: Eh, well, maybe.
Woman: You are not sure?
Man: Well, you know...
Woman. Be honest.
Man: Her experience has been in marketing. I’m looking for someone with a Public Relations background and she hasn’t worked in that area.
Woman: She did a Public Relations paper in her MBA.
Man: Yes, but when you compare her to Mr. White, he said he had five years of postgraduate experience and the sample CV he showed us was very good.
Woman: I agree. But...
Man: Ha ha, now you be honest.
Woman: Well, this isn’t a senior position, after all. And maybe it would be better to train someone up, to follow our in-house style a bit more. And she is only 26 and he is---um ... was that...
Man: 30?
Woman: No, that was Mr. Smith. Mr. White was 29.
Man: Well, yes, but that was not very much in the end. Anyway, age is not our primary concern for this position, is it?
Woman: No, but I’m just concerned that Mr. White might have got quite used to a different style of working, which might not fit in well here.
Man: Yes, but he is good, surely, and...
Woman: But it might cause problems if he hasn’t got a flexible approach. His experience is very specialised, even narrow.
Man: Surely, I’m sure it won’t be a disadvantage, his experience, I mean. Why don’t we call him back again?
Woman: When? Now?
Man: No, no. Next week. Let’s shortlist them. Even now.
Woman: Well, yes, but, with reservations.
Man: Fine.
Woman: Maybe I can question him more closely next time.
Man: Good. Mr. Smith?
Woman: If we take Ms. Stephens as well, we’ll only have time for one other. We can only see three next time. And I’d like to see the other one, Mr. Jones, again too. So if we are going to limit them to three...
Man: Not four?
Woman: Not really, as I said, this isn’t a senior position, and we have got other vacancies to fill.
Man: Um, um.
Woman: I guess it’s very expensive.
Man: It probably is. But if you get it right, that’s an investment.
Woman: Absolutely. So it’s to be Mr. Smith or Mr. Jones as the third candidate?
Man: Yes, that’s difficult. I think it might be nice to see them both. But if you insist on only three, you are determined on Ms. Stephens, there is only one slot.
Woman: I think we must be firm on this. Who do you prefer?
Man: Well, Mr. Smith, 30...
Woman: With a good CV.
Man: And Mr. Jones is two years younger.
Woman: Ha, ha, we said age wasn’t important.
Man: I go for Mr. Smith, five years’ with IOC human resources.
Woman: And Mr. Jones with advertising.
Man: Which could be an advantage. This is difficult. In fact ...
Woman: Yes?
Man: Well, the more I think about it, the more I think you are right at first.
Woman: About Mr. White?
Man: Yes, maybe he is unsuitable for the post.
Woman: You know what I think about it.
Man: Okay, you are right. Let’s withdraw Mr. White and call back Mr. Jones.
Woman: Good.
Man: Right.
Woman: So, that’s final. We’ll shortlist Ms. Stephens, Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones.
Man: And we interview them next week, the 26th?
Woman: Good. I’ll get Jane to send out the letters.

选项 A、Because his approach maybe out of date.
B、Because he is too old for this position.
C、Because he may not be flexible enough.
