According to Felix, what’s special about integrated Business Studies?
Mrs. Brown(W)Felix Smith(M)
W: Mr. Felix Smith. Can you come in? Please sit down.
M: Thank you. Good afternoon Mrs. Brown.
W: Well now Mr. Smith—for a start—and just to set the ball rolling—can I check that you’re applying for the post of Management trainee? And that you’re graduating in Integrated Business Studies? Tell me, why integrated? Is there something special about—about this degree?
M: Yes, in a way there is.(1)The subjects in the program—Finance, Marketing, and Banking, and so on are taught as aspects of a single study—that of Business, rather than as separate disciplines which the student has to relate to each other as best he can. I chose it for that reason.
W: And what advantage do you think it has over a more conventional course of study?
M: I think it’s more coherent and more motivating—and many of my friends on this and other courses agree with me.(5-1)Everything we have done—including the study of Economics which can easily seem rather dull and remote—is related to one or more of the sorts of careers that we plan to take up.
W: And what makes you apply for this training position, Mr. Smith?
M:(5-2)I want to work for one of the premier banks in Hong Kong—indeed one of the great banks of the world. And I want the training opportunities offered by Standard Chartered.
W: You see long term opportunities as more important than the immediate salary, do you?
M: Yes I do. And my family agree with me—and that’s generous of them. I’m looking two or three years ahead.
W: Tell us a bit more about these extra-curricular activities of yours. What exactly did you do when you organized this—what is it now? Orientation camp?
M: Well. It wasn’t a camp under canvas with sing songs round a camp fire of course!(2)We had a number of students who were going to join us in September living on campus during August, and we tried to give them experience of some features of university life that might be unfamiliar and rather alarming. Not academic classes and lectures, but living together, and making friends and taking part in some outside activities, but not too many. And we tried to show them what we had learned about how to organize your work, so as to do justice to a range of different subjects. And to let them know the points at which they needed to make choices. And to know that we—students in the year senior to them, were friendly and really wanted them to do well.
W: Sounds good. That kind of responsibility can be intimidating if you are dropped into it without any sort of assistance—especially if you are the first member of your family to get into University.
M: Yes, indeed it can. That was what happened to me.(5-3)My parents were entirely supportive, but they simply had no idea what the experience of University study was like.(3)It took me several months to find my feet. That’s why I was keen to get involved in the orientation project.
W: So what do you get out of your involvement?
M: As I said, I learned how to identify the problems, and to talk about them in terms that newcomers to the University could understand—or at least, I got to be much better at it! It’s actually quite a difficult thing to do.
W: Can you tell me—just in a sentence or two—how you see a career in management?
M: Essentially I see management as an activity that involves problem-solving, and communication. Mm...(4)A manager identifies and resolves increasingly complex and significant problems as his career develops—and he—he has to communicate adequately the solutions he finds. He has to be able to find a suitable form of wolds to communicate to his superiors, his colleagues, and increasingly as he gains ex-experience, with the people junior to him.
W: Yes. I’d agree with you there. Mr. Smith. Any questions for us?
M:(5-4)Do you think, er—there may be opportunities in future for today’s recruits to work—for a time—elsewhere than Hong Kong? I’m very keen to see something more of South East Asia and I’m especially interested in the possibility of Japan.
W: I think the future prospects for people joining us now are very good indeed. Anything further, Mr. Smith?
M: No, thank you. And thanks for the opportunity of the interview. I do hope I’ll hear further from you.
选项
A、Because of his parents’ support.
B、Because he benefited a lot from it.
C、Because of his own experience of being a fresher.
D、Because he could make friends with many freshers.
答案
C
解析
本题设题点在原因解释处。结合上文可知,菲利克斯初入大学的时候,没有人给他指导和帮助,根据句(3)可知,他花了几个月的时间才逐渐适应大学生活,正是因为他自身的这段经历,他才积极参与orientation project,因此[C]为正确答案。
