Conversation One

听力原文

M: (1) [It’s my last day at work tomorrow. I’ll start my new job in 2 weeks.] My human resources manager wants to conduct an interview with me before I leave.

W: Ah, an exit interview. Are you looking forward to it?

M: I’m not sure how I feel about it. I resigned because I’ve been unhappy at that company for a long time, but I’m not sure if I should tell them how I really feel.

W: To my way of thinking, there are two main potential benefits that come from unleashing an agitated stream of truth during an exit interview. The first is release. Unburdening yourself of frustration and perhaps even anger to someone who isn’t a friend or close colleague can be wonderfully freeing.

M: And let me guess. The second is that the criticism will, theoretically, help the organization I’m leaving to improve, making sure employees of the future are less likely to encounter what I did?

W: That’s right. But the problem with the company improvement part is that very often it doesn’t happen. (2) [An exit interview is supposed to be private, but often isn’t.] In my company, the information gained from these interviews is often not confidential, and the information is used as dirt against another manager, or can be traded among senior managers.

M: Now you’ve got me rethinking what I’ll disclose in the interview. (3) [There is always a chance that it could affect my reputation and my ability to network in the industry.] It is a pretty small industry after all.

W: Anything you initially gain from the instant satisfaction of telling it like it is, (3) [you might lose down the track by injuring your future career prospects.]

M: Right. (4) [Perhaps I would be better getting things off my chest by going to one of those rate-your-employer websites.]

W: You could. And don’t do the interview at all. Exit interviews are not mandatory.

1. What do we learn about the man from the conversation?  （在对话中，关于男士我们能了解到什么？）

解析：D。录音开头男士提到，明天是他最后一天上班，两周后就要开始新的工作了。由此可知，男士是要辞职，D项中的leave his present job对应录音中的last day at work，因此选D。

错项排除：录音中提到男士并不确定（not sure）是否要告诉管理者他的真实想法（tell them how I really feel），A项与此表述相悖，故排除。录音中说男士在两周后要开始新工作了，B项利用录音中出现的new、manager和in two weeks进行细节拼凑，故排除。录音中说到，男士在离开前会和人力资源经理进行一次面谈（interview），女士接着解释说是离职面谈（exit interview），C项说男士要参加面试，表述不准确，故排除。
