　　Conversation Two M：You’ve worked in a university before, haven’t you? W：Yes, in Britain, yes. M：What, how do students go about getting jobs when they graduate? W：Well, most universities have a Careers Advice Service. I used to know the people in the Careers Service in Newcastle University and they, in fact, seem fairly successful in finding jobs for students. They are able to get jobs for 3040% of new graduates. M：That seems a fairly low percentage. W：Well...it’s not if you consider the various other options which people take up. For example, there are a fair number of people I don’t remember the exact number, who go into further study, who carry straight on into master’s degrees. Either at the same university or another university. So that’s fair chunk. Then there are others, a second group of people, who decide not to take a career job immediately after university. Instead, they decide to take time off, maybe see the world, and...and...well there is a third group, the people who can’t actually get the jobs they wait for a job they really want. So when I say 3040% find jobs through the careers service, that doesn’t mean that only that number find jobs. A lot of other people find jobs through the newspapers. M：So it is quite high really, yes. W：Oh, I think so, relatively, yes. And quite a lot of other people of course look in newspapers and the particular journals or magazines which advertise jobs in the fields they’re interested in.

A dog can be a happy addition to your family, but if you choose the wrong kind of dog, the consequences can cause you a lot of trouble. Families should sit down and thoroughly discuss the problems involved before buying a dog. Even if the children in your family are the ones who want the dogs, the parents are the ones who are really responsible for seeing that the animal is properly cared for. If you don’t know much about dogs, it’s a good idea to go to the library or the ASPCA for books about various kinds of dogs, as well as books about how to train a puppy. When a book describes a dog as an ideal hunting dog, it probably means that the dog won’t be happy living in a small apartment. Dog breeds vary in popularity as the years go by. One of the most popular dogs these days is the German shepherd. This is because it provides protection as well as companionship. The family should be warned that these dogs grow up to be very big, and may be too powerful for children to handle. If space is limited, a toy dog may be a good choice. These dogs are very small and easy to train. They don’t need to be walked daily, since they can exercise in the space available in the home. Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26. What is the main topic of the talk? 【解析】A 本文主要講了養小狗做家庭寵物要十分細心慎重。如果選擇不慎的話，會帶來許多問題。 27. According to the speaker who was really responsible for the dog’s welfare? 【解析】C 說話者認為父母才是最應該對小狗負責的人。從這句話中就可以看出來：the parents are the ones who are really responsible for seeing that the animal is properly cared for. 28. When is the toy dog a good choice? 【解析】C 當你的住房面積很小的時候，養一只小型狗是很好的選擇。
